TRANSCRIPT
Immortal, InvisibleWalter C. Smith (1867) Tune: ST. DENIO
Immortal, invisible, God only wise, In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessed most glorious,the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.
Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light, Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might; Thy justice, like mountains, high soaring above
Thy clouds, which are fountainsof goodness and love.
To all, life Thou givest, to both great and small; In all life Thou livest, the true life of all;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree, And wither and perish—
but naught changest Thee.
Great Father of glory pure Father of light, Thine angels adore Thee all veiling their sight;
All praise we would render O help us to see 'Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee.

O Worship the KingWords by Robert Grant and William Kethe / Music by Johann M. Haydn
O worship the King, all glorious above,
And gratefully sing His power and His love;Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise.
O tell of His might, O sing of His grace,Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space,
His chariots of wraththe deep thunderclouds form,
And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.
The earth with its store of wonders untold,Almighty, Thy power hath founded of old;Established it fast by a changeless decree,
And round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea.
Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite?It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
It streams from the hills,it descends to the plain,
And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.
Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail;
Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end,Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.

Light of the world,
You stepped down into darkness.Opened my eyes let me see.
Beauty that made this heart adore youHope of a life spent with you.
So here I am to worship,Here I am to bow down,
Here I am to say that you're my God,You're altogether lovely,
Altogether worthy,Altogether wonderful to me.
King of all days,Oh so highly exalted Glorious in heaven above.
Humbly you came to the earth you created.All for love's sake became poor.
Here I am to worship,Here I am to bow down,
Here I am to say that you're my God,You're altogether lovely,
Altogether worthy,Altogether wonderful to me.
I'll never know how much it costto see my sin upon that cross.
I'll never know how much it costto see my sin upon that cross.
And I'll never know how much it costto see my sin upon that cross.
No I'll never know how much it costto see my sin upon that cross.
Here I am to worship,Here I am to bow down,
Here I am to say that you're my God.
You're altogether lovely,Altogether worthy,
Altogether wonderful to me.
So Here I am to worship,Here I am to bow down,
Here I am to say that you're my God
You're altogether lovely,Altogether worthy,
Altogether wonderful to me.

Arise, my soul, arise; shake off thy guilty fearsThe bleeding sacrifice in my behalf appears
Before the throne my surety standsBefore the throne my surety stands
My name is written on His hands
Arise, my soul, arise;shake off thy guilty fears
The bleeding sacrificein my behalf appears
Before the throne my surety standsBefore the throne my surety stands
My name is written on His hands
He ever lives above, for me to intercede;His all redeeming love,
His precious blood, to plead:
His blood atoned for all our race,His blood atoned for all our race,
And sprinkles now the throne of grace.
Five bleeding wounds He bears,received on Calvary
They pour effectual prayers;they strongly plead for me
“Forgive him, oh forgive,” they cry“Forgive him, oh forgive,” they cry
“Nor let that ransomed sinner die!”
The Father hears Him pray,His dear Anointed OneHe cannot turn away
the presence of His Son
His Spirit answers to the bloodHis Spirit answers to the bloodAnd tells me I am born of God
My God is reconciled;His pardoning voice I hearHe owns me for His child;
I can no longer fear
With confidence I now draw nighWith confidence I now draw nigh
And “Father, Abba, Father” cry

Before the Throne of God AboveWords by Charitie Lees Bancroft / Alternate Words and Music by Vikki Cook

Before the throne of God aboveI have a strong and perfect plea
A great High Priest whose name is LoveWho ever lives and pleads for me
My name is graven on His handsMy name is written on His heart
I know that while in heav’n He standsNo tongue can bid me thence departNo tongue can bid me thence depart
When Satan tempts me to despairAnd tells me of the guilt within
Upward I look and see Him thereWho made an end of all my sin
Because the sinless Savior diedMy sinful soul is counted freeFor God the Just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon meTo look on Him and pardon me
Behold Him there, the risen LambMy perfect, spotless Righteousness
The great unchangeable I AMThe King of glory and of grace
One with Himself, I cannot dieMy soul is purchased by His bloodMy life is hid with Christ on high
With Christ my Savior and my GodWith Christ my Savior and my God
