Unto Him who hath loved us and washed us from sin, A D A E A

Unto Him be the glory forever! Amen! 2 All these once were sinners, defiled in His sight,

Now arrayed in pure garments, in praise they unite. 3 He maketh the rebel a priest and a king,

He hath bought us, and taught us this new song to sing. 4 How helpless and hopeless we sinners had been,

If He never had loved us till cleansed from our sin. 5 Aloud in His praises our voices shall ring,

So that others, believing, this new song shall sing.

For Thy Name is victory! 2 Blessed Jesus! Mighty Savior!

Balm in pain or mighty sword; In Thy Name, we live and conquer, Blessed, glorious, coming Lord.

1 Morning dawn had arisen C D

Abraham saddled his donkey. G Bm

Took his two young men with him, C D

And Isaac, his beloved son. C G

Lord, You’re God’s only Son. C G

And of God begotten. C G

This is My beloved Son D - C D G

In whom I am well pleased.

2 To his young men he said then, “Stay and we’ll return to you.” To Moriah he led them, His son Isaac, just them two.

Just the son and the father, Speaking with one another. Isaac said, “My father.” Abraham said, “Here I am.”

3 As You spoke with Your Father, You bore the wood God laid on You. As a lamb to the slaughter, Obedient to the death were You.

Precious blood of the Lamb. Slain before earth began. Laid Your life down for Your sheep In love, that I might live.

4 Man of Sorrows, I love You! From You men did hide their face. With no majesty to You Despised, forsaken, and disgraced.

For my sins You were crushed. Lord, I love You so much! Chastened, scourged, and then pierced through, My griefs and sorrows bore.

15

112 5 Dead in sins and offenses,

I’m a bruised reed, smoking flax. Yet to death You were given, For of Your sheep, You’d not lose one. Like the woman, I’d weep, Flow my tears at Your feet. Jesus Lord, I just love You! Dear Lord, Jesus my Lord!

1 Lift that Name high! That glorious Name, G D A

Let heav’n and earth its pow’r proclaim; E E7 A - A7

Our mighty, conqu’ring, coming King, D G A - A7 D

Earth yet shall with His praises ring. 2 Lift that Name high! To that high tower

We flee in every trial hour, Safe, sheltered, satisfied and free, For Jesus’ Name is victory.

3 Lift that Name high! Until one day

His mighty Name the earth shall sway, And sin and death, distress and pain Shall be no more, for Christ shall reign.

4 Lift that Name high! Jesus shall reign,

And kings shall follow in His train; Lift that Name high, all names above, The Name of Him we own and love.

5 Lift that Name high! For every knee

Shall bow to Him; Jesus shall see Fruit of His Cross, when earth shall bring Her tribute to her Lord and King.

D

1 Down from His glory, G

Ever living story, A

My God and Savior came, D

And Jesus was His name.

Born in a manger, G

To His own a stranger, D A D

A Man of sorrows, tears and agony.

Em A

O how I love Him! How I adore Him! D

My breath, my sunshine, my all in all! Gm D

The great Creator became my Savior, A A7 D

And all God’s fullness dwelleth in Him. 2 What condescension,

Bringing us redemption; That in the dead of night, Not one faint hope in sight, God, gracious, tender, Laid aside His splendor, Stooping to woo, to win, to save my soul.

3 Without reluctance,

Flesh and blood His substance He took the form of man, Revealed the hidden plan. O glorious myst’ry, Sacrifice of Calv’ry, And now I know Thou art the great “I AM.”

17

115 Hymns, #132

G D

1 Lo! in heaven Jesus sitting, D7 G

Christ the Lord is there enthroned; G7 C

As the man by God exalted, G D G

With God’s glory He is crowned. 2 He hath put on human nature,

Died according to God’s plan, Resurrected with a body, And ascended as a man.

3 God in Him on earth was humbled,

God with man was domiciled; Man in Him in heav’n exalted, Man with God is reconciled.

4 He as God with man is mingled,

God in man is testified; He as man with God is blended, Man in God is glorified.

5 From the Glorified in heaven

The inclusive Spirit came; All of Jesus’ work and Person Doth this Spirit here proclaim.

6 With the Glorified in heaven

Is the Church identified; By the Spirit of this Jesus Are His members edified.

7 Lo! a man is now in heaven

As the Lord of all enthroned; This is Jesus Christ our Savior, With God’s glory ever crowned!

18

116 Hymns, #203

G C

1 In the bosom of the Father, G D

Ere the ages had begun, G C

Thou wast in the Father’s glory, G D G

God’s unique begotten Son. D

When to us the Father gave Thee, G C D

Thou in person wast the same, G G7 C

All the fullness of the Father G D G

In the Spirit to proclaim.

2 By Thy death and resurrection, Thou wast made God’s firstborn Son; By Thy life to us imparting, Was Thy duplication done. We, in Thee regenerated, Many sons to God became; Truly as Thy many brethren, We are as Thyself the same.

3 Once Thou wast the only grain, Lord, Falling to the earth to die, That through death and resurrection Thou in life may multiply. We were brought forth in Thy nature And the many grains became; As one loaf we all are blended, All Thy fullness to proclaim

4 We’re Thy total reproduction,

Thy dear Body and Thy Bride, Thine expression and Thy fullness, For Thee ever to abide. We are Thy continuation, Thy life-increase and Thy spread, Thy full growth and Thy rich surplus, One with Thee, our glorious Head.

1 O Christ, He is the fountain, G D Asus - A

The deep, sweet well of life: D G D G

Its living streams I’ve tasted D A D - D7

Which save from grief and strife. G Gm D

And to an ocean fullness, G Gm D

His mercy doth expand; G D G

His grace is all-sufficient D A D

As by His wisdom planned. 2 O I am my Beloved’s,

And my Beloved’s mine; He brings a poor vile sinner Into His house of wine! I stand upon His merit; I know no other stand. I’m hidden in His presence And held by His own hand.

3 The Bride eyes not her garment,

But her dear Bridegroom’s face; I will not gaze at glory, But on my King of grace: Not at the crown He giveth, But on His pierced hand; The Lamb is all the glory, And my eternal stand!

1 O for a thousand tongues to sing D G D7 G D

My great Redeemer’s praise, D7 G G7 C

The glories of my God and King, G D G

The triumphs of His grace. 2 My gracious Master and my God,

Assist me to proclaim, To spread through all the earth abroad, The honors of Thy name.

3 Jesus! the name that charms our fears,

That bids our sorrows cease; ’Tis music in the sinner’s ears, ’Tis life, and health, and peace.

4 His love my heart has captive made,

His captive would I be, For He was bound, and scourged, and died, My captive soul to free.

5 He breaks the power of canceled sin,

He sets the prisoner free; His blood can make the foulest clean; His blood availed for me.

6 So now Thy blessed Name I love,

Thy will would e’er be mine. Had I a thousand hearts to give, My Lord, they all were Thine!

Though all things around us be trying, C

Though floods of affliction like sea billows roar, G D G

It’s better to sing than be sighing.

D G

Then rejoice evermore, rejoice evermore, C G

It is better to sing than be sighing: G7 C

It is better to live than be dying; G D G

So let us rejoice evermore. 2 O let us rejoice in the Lord evermore,

When the darts of the tempter are flying, For Satan still dreads, as he oft did of yore, Our singing much more than our sighing.

3 O let us rejoice in the Lord evermore,

When sickness upon us is stealing, No cordial like gladness our strength can restore, For joy is the fountain of healing.

Our hearts o’erflow with praise to Thee! G C

All our desires Thou dost exceed G D G

And satisfy continually. 2 Thou art the very God in truth,

The God who is both love and light; The God who is to us our life, The God in whom we all delight.

3 Thou also art a man indeed,

A man so fine, so good, so pure; A man in whom our God delights, A man who can our love secure.

4 Thou even art a lowly slave,

A slave of God to serve for us; Obedient to the cross’s death That we might be delivered thus.

5 Thou art, beside all these, a King,

A King in life and love to reign, By God anointed with His pow’r To rule with us in His domain.

6 Dear Lord, as we remember Thee,

We thus partake of all Thou art; As we enjoy Thyself in love, We share Thee as Thy counterpart.

Since all that He is and has done is for us, C Am Bm Em C D G

We’ll give earnest heed to this word glorious. 2 What He is of God and of Man as the Son,

3 He’s washed all our sins, purified them fore’er;

Tasted death on the cross, ended slavery there. He took on our nature, the devil has slain, And put you and I in His glorious train.

We’re partners of Christ in His plan glorious. He’ll bring us to glory and we’ll rule with Him, To the uttermost saved by His working within.

5 To such a salvation our heed we must give,

Lest drifting away or neglecting we live. Christ now as our life, future ruling with Him, We’ll miss if we miss this salvation within.

D G D

1 Sing praise to Christ who lives in us, B7 Em D A D

The God of our salvation; G D

Who saves us by His life divine, B7 Em D A D

And not by regulation; Bm F#m Bm A E7 A

After we’ve worked – done all we can, D A D E A

His life has power to change a man: D G Em A D

His life divine can change us. 2 He saves us to the uttermost

By His life-giving power; Transfusing Himself into us, He saves us hour by hour. He saved the lost by coming in, He’s saving now from more than sin: He’s saving us to glory!

3 Our Lord was constituted priest

To be a real life-giver; Life is the nature of this One Who can from self deliver: His life is indestructible, By it He saves us to the full: Praise God, He’s fully able!

4 His life is fully qualified

To bring us through to glory; Were it not for His tested life, ’Twould be another story His life was fully tried on earth, To crucifixion from His birth: He passed through death and Hades.

37

135 5 He’s pledged to save us to the full,

His life is operating; He’s doing everything for us ’Tis all for our perfecting; Our life’s a failure at its best, Only His life can stand the test: His life brings full salvation!

6 He’s living now to intercede,

Continuing forever; He undertakes into the age, His priesthood changes never; He always lives to intercede, Such a High Priest is what we need: He’s higher than the heavens.

7 Come forward now to God through Him,

Ne’er shrink back to destruction; Come forward now to get the life, Which brings the proper function; Come forward now the life to take, By life His people us He’ll make, And swallow death forever.

1 The Lord is my Shepherd forever, A D

He maketh me down to lie, G

O how He does satisfy!

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me A A7 D

All the days, all the days of my life;

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me A A7 D

All the days, all the days of my life. G D

And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever, Bm E A - A7

And I shall feast at the table spread for me; D

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me A A7 D

All the days, all the days of my life.

2 My Shepherd Himself is my pasture, My Shepherd, the waters of rest; I eat of His riches in spirit, I drink, and O how I am blest!

3 My Shepherd my soul is restoring, My will, and emotion, and mind; And though through the valley I’m walking, O what a Companion I find!

4 A table prepared by my Shepherd

I feast on and Satan destroy; My head is anointed with oil, My cup runneth over with joy!

5 And now in His house I am dwelling Enjoying the goodness of God; My pleasure is far beyond telling, My pleasure is Jesus my Lord!

1 The tree of life, how sweet the fruit, D

With God as life complete. G G7 C G

I once was dead, but now I live, Em D G

Was starved, but now I eat. 2 ’Twas God that brought me to the tree,

With Christ Himself as meat; How precious did that tree become When I began to eat.

3 The Lord Himself is food to me,

He is my life supply; He will my pure enjoyment be, None else can satisfy.

4 I freely eat this living tree,

For eating is the way To put God’s life inside of me, To live by Him today.

Didst go alone. B7 Em

Death had on Thee no claim, A7 D

Thou sinless One! G C

He who had death’s dread pow’r Am A7 D

Met Thee in that dark hour: G G7 C

Vanquished by Thee his power, G D G

By Thee alone. 2 But Thou hast burst the grave,

Risen art Thou; Death could not Thee enslave, Death had to bow! Victorious hast Thou come Out of the darksome tomb, Broken the bands of gloom: Beyond death now.

3 What mighty triumphs, Lord,

Thou didst achieve! What fruitfulness doth God From Thee receive! Out of Thy death has sprung A wondrous living throng: All, all to Thee belong, And in Thee live.

4 Firstborn of all Thou art,

Lowly we bow; Chief in Thy Father’s heart – Chief to us now. Thou art indeed supreme, Our great eternal theme, Worthy of all esteem: Worthy art Thou!

1 To Jesus every day we find our hearts are closer drawn;

He’s fairer than the sons of men A7 D7

And fresher than the morn; G

He’s all that we can say of Him C G

In fairest words and more, C D A7 D7 G

And every day He’s dearer than He was the day before.

C A7 D7

The half cannot be fancied of such a treasure-store, G C G D7 G

And every day He’s dearer than He ever was before! 2 His glory broke upon us when we saw Him in the church,

For here are all His riches, Here we’ve given up our search; ’Tis here He satisfies our longing Spirits o’er and o’er, And every day He’s dearer than He was the day before.

3 Now He’s the living Spirit who within our spirit dwells,

And by His sweet anointing, How His life within us swells! As with the saints we’re meeting, Full released our spirits soar, For now our Lord is dearer than He ever was before.

4 The Lord has made us one with Him for His recovery:

The riches of this Christ, the church His fullness, men must see. Yes, all we have and all we are, We every day outpour For His tremendous purpose, ever dearer than before.

G D

1 Hark! ten thousand voices crying, D7 G

“Lamb of God!” with one accord; G C

Thousand thousand saints replying, G D G

Wake at once the echo’ng chord. 2 “Praise the Lamb!” the chorus waking,

All in heav’n together throng; Loud and far each tongue partaking Rolls around the endless song.

3 Grateful incense this, ascending

Ever to the Father’s throne; Every knee to Jesus bending, All the mind in heav’n is one.

4 All the Father’s counsels claiming

Equal honors to the Son, All the Son’s effulgence beaming, Makes the Father’s glory known.

5 By the Spirit all pervading,

Hosts unnumbered round the Lamb, Crowned with light and joy unfading, Hail Him as the great “I AM.”

6 Joyful now the new creation

Rests in undisturbed repose, Blest in Jesus’ full salvation, Sorrow now nor thraldom knows.

7 Hark! the heavenly notes again!

Loudly swells the song of praise; Through creation’s vault, Amen! Amen! responsive joy doth raise.

Thy mighty arm the fight hath fought, D

Thou art enthroned above; G G7 C

We into glory will be brought G C G D G

Thy wondrous grace to prove. 2 To Thee, dear Lord, O Christ of God,

We sing, we ever sing; Thou hast invaded death’s abode And robbed him of his sting. The house of dust enthralls no more, For Thou, the strong to save, Thyself doth guard that silent door, Great Keeper of the grave.

3 To Thee, dear Lord, O Christ of God,

We sing, we ever sing; For Thou hast crushed beneath Thy rod The world’s proud rebel king, And plunged in Thine imperial strength To gulfs of darkness down, And brought Thy trophy up at length The foiled usurper’s crown.

4 To Thee, dear Lord, O Christ of God,

We sing, we ever sing; Thou hast redeemed us with Thy blood From every evil thing. God’s saving strength Thine arm upbore, The arm that set us free; Glory, O Christ, for evermore Be to Thy God and Thee.

All wisdom dwells in Thee, Thou Source of every skill, Eternal Verity! Thou great I Am! In Thee we rest, True answer to our every quest.

To know Thee is to live The more abundant life That earth can never give: O Risen Lord! We live in Thee And Thou in us eternally!

3 Who is this woman I am seeing, Shining forth as the moon and sun? She is absolutely heavn’ly, From the old creation free; Overcoming all to live within the veil.

4 An army terrible with banners Christ’s lovers overcome to be; Those attracted by His beauty, Fully trusting in His power, Her romance is now the dances of two camps.

Only let me in Thyself abide. G

As I’m gazing here upon Thy glory, A7 D

Fill my heart with radiancy divine; Em E7

Saturate me, Lord, I now implore Thee, A7 D

Mingle now Thy Spirit, Lord, with mine. 2 Shining One – how clear the sky above me!

Son of Man, I see Thee on the throne! Holy One, the flames of God consume me, Till my being glows with Thee alone. Lord, when first I saw Thee in Thy splendor, All self-love and glory sank in shame; Now my heart its love and praises render, Tasting all the sweetness of Thy name.

3 Precious Lord, my flask of alabaster

Gladly now I break in love for Thee; I anoint Thy head, Beloved Master; Lord, behold, I’ve saved the best for Thee. Dearest Lord, I waste myself upon Thee; Loving Thee, I’m deeply satisfied. Love outpoured from hidden depths within me, Costly oil, dear Lord, I would provide.

4 My Beloved, come on spices’ mountain; How I yearn to see Thee face to face. Drink, dear Lord, from my heart’s flowing fountain, Till I rest fore’er in Thine embrace. Not alone, O Lord, do I adore Thee, But with all the saints as Thy dear Bride; Quickly come, our love is waiting for Thee; Jesus Lord, Thou wilt be satisfied.

1 Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus, D A7 D

Thou hast won each love from me; D7 G

Who like Thee – so fair and comely? D7 Gdim G

Who like Thee – so sweet and lovely? G7

Matchless One, unrivaled beauty, C G D7 G

None can e’er compete with Thee! 2 Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus,

Gladly will I hear Thy call; Since Thy voice my heart hath entered, I from all things could but sever; Void are all my other seekings, Every pride hath disappeared.

3 Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus,

How can I still stubborn be? At Thy feet cast all my hard’nings, And return with songs and singings; ’Tis my love to be Thy bondslave, ’Tis my joy to Thee obey.

4 Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus,

Thy way only will I choose; Though in tears while I’m obeying, Yet I would not change my standing; All I long for is Thy pleasure, And the peace Thy love would bring.

5 Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus, When Thy presence does depart, Seems the dawn has lost its traces, Hidden are my smiling faces; All I yearn for is Thy coming And Thy presence’ sweet embrace.

I’ll ever adore Thee in glory so bright; I’ll sing with the glittering crown on my brow, If ever I loved Thee, Lord Jesus, ’tis now.

Because He first loved me! 2 It tells me of a Savior’s love,

Who died to set me free; It tells me of His precious blood, The sinner’s perfect plea.

3 It tells me what my Father hath,

In store for every day, And though I tread a darksome path, Yields sunshine all the way.

Can feel my deepest woe, Who in each sorrow bears a part That none can bear below.

G D7

1 God created us His vessels Am C D

His expression to achieve; G7+ C

Thus He made a heart to love Him Am G C D7 G

And a spirit to receive. 2 With our heart we have to love Him,

With our spirit Him possess As our life, of Him partaking, That Himself we may express.

3 Satan has our heart corrupted,

To our spirit death did give, That the Lord we should not contact But by self attempt to live.

4 Thus the Lord in His salvation

Heart and spirit has renewed To recover our receiving And our loving aptitude.

5 It is by our heart’s renewal

We may God in love pursue, And in newness of the spirit We may contact God anew.

6 Ever true and pure and single

To the Lord our heart must be, Poor in spirit, ever seeking God to contact constantly.

7 Keep our heart, Lord, in love’s freshness,

And our spirit strengthen more, That in newness of the spirit We may touch Thee o’er and o’er.

Draws me, ever to seek Thee F G7 C

And run after Thee. Am Em F C F C G Am

Thou art beloved, Yea! Altogether lovely, Dm Em G7 C

The One in whom my heart delighteth (repeat chorus)

2 Thy love, Lord Jesus, Is sweeter than wine, And Thy fragrance of ointments My heart doth entwine, And Thy fragrance of ointments My heart doth entwine. A fount in gardens, a well of living waters, Which streams and flows from Lebanon’s mountains.

3 O come Beloved,

On my garden blow, That the odor of spices May break forth and flow, That the odor of spices May break forth and flow. My spouse, My sister, I’m come into My garden To feast upon wine, milk and honey.

4 Set me, Lord Jesus,

As seal on Thine heart; Jealousy’s cruel as Sheol, And love’s strong as death, Jealousy’s cruel as Sheol, And love’s strong as death. Much water cannot quench love, nor do floods drown it. All man could give for love is contemned.

My Savior, Jesus; yet these lips of mine G D Bm

Would fain proclaim to sinners, far and near, Em A G

A love which can remove all guilty fear, A D

And love beget.

3 It passeth praises, that dear love of Thine, My Savior, Jesus; yet this heart of mine Would sing that love, so full, so rich, so free, Which brings a rebel sinner, such as me, Nigh unto God.

4 But though I cannot sing, or tell, or know The fullness of Thy love, while here below, My empty vessel I may freely bring; O Thou, who art of love the living spring, My vessel fill.

5 I am an empty vessel – not one thought Or look of love to Thee I’ve ever brought; Yet I may come, and come again to Thee, With this the empty sinner’s only plea, Thou lovest me.

Oh, the many things that I have tried: Left me thirsting and dissatisfied. 4 In this endless search for something new, All the time this cry was just for You. I was blind in trying many things ‘Til I drank You as my living Spring. 5 Lord, You came and filled my innermost being. You’re the sweetest satisfaction. You’re the Spirit as my everything, Spirit in my spirit bubbling. 6 Thank you, Lord, for coming into me. Now You’re spreading in me constantly. Lord, You’re making home in all my heart, As my treasure filling every part.

In a love which cannot cease, G D (D7) A D (G)

I am His and He is mine.

2 Heaven above is softer blue, Earth around is sweeter green; Something lives in every hue Christless eyes have never seen: Birds with gladder songs o’erflow, Flowers with deeper beauty shine, Since I know as now I know, I am His and He is mine. 3 Things that once were wild alarms Cannot now disturb my rest; Closed in everlasting arms, Pillowed on the loving breast. Oh, to lie forever here, Doubt and care and self resign, While He whispers in my ear, I am His and He is mine. 4 His forever, only His: Who the Lord and me shall part? Ah, with what a rest of bliss Christ can fill the loving heart. Heaven and earth may fade and flee, Firstborn light in gloom decline; But, while God and I shall be, I am His and He is mine.

3 Though I’ve been a sinner, I now have been redeemed By Christ who died for me, Who was raised in glory. I am joined to Him now, Together we’re living; I love to enjoy Him, For I’ve been forgiven.

3 Thank you Lord, You opened my blind eyes to see

I was lame, but now I can walk; You healed me! My leprosy, Lord, You cleansed all away; My ears were opened to hear Your voice, And now I follow You ‘cause…

4 Sometimes Lord, I’m drawn off by my selfish cares;

And the world it draws me with glitter and glare. Oh Lord, You trapped me. Don’t let me go. Kiss me and woo me and win my heart, So, I will always tell You…

5 Keep my heart so soft, Lord, so open to You;

It would be the good ground to bear fruit for You; Capture my friends Lord, and build us, I pray; Your Bride, we’d match You in every way, And corporately we tell You:
