To Him That Chose Us First
To him that chose us first, before the world began;
To him that bore the curse to save rebellious man;
To him that formed our hearts anew
Is endless praise and glory due.
Glory to God, hallelujah! Glory to God, hallelujah!
Glory to God, hallelujah!
Let every saint above, and angel round the throne,
Forever bless and love the sacred Three in One;
All heav'n shall raise His honors high,
When earth and time grow old and die.
Glory to God, hallelujah! Glory to God, hallelujah!
Glory to God, hallelujah!
The Father's love shall run through our immortal songs;
We bring to God the Son, “Hosannahs”, on our tongues:
To him that bore the curse to save rebellious man;
To him that formed our hearts anew
Is endless praise and glory due.
Glory to God, hallelujah! Glory to God, hallelujah!

Our Jesus Is the God of Hope
Our Jesus is the God of hope;
He works it by his power;
It holds the weak believer up,
In the distressing hour.
The darkest cloud hope pierces through,
And waits upon the Lord,
Expects to prove that all is true
Throughout the sacred word.
True hope looks out for blessings great;
And, though they’re long delayed,
Yet hope’s determined still to wait,
Until they are conveyed.
Hope long will wait, and wait again,
And ne’er can give it up,
Till the bless’d Lamb, who once was slain
Appears the God of hope.
He works it by his power;
It holds the weak believer up,
In the distressing hour.
The darkest cloud hope pierces through,
And waits upon the Lord,
Expects to prove that all is true
Throughout the sacred word.
True hope looks out for blessings great;
And, though they’re long delayed,
Yet hope’s determined still to wait,
Until they are conveyed.
Hope long will wait, and wait again,
And ne’er can give it up,
Till the bless’d Lamb, who once was slain
Appears the God of hope.
Rise Up
Afflicted saint, to Christ draw near--
Thy Savior’s gracious promise hear,
His faithful Word declares to thee,
That as thy days thy strength shall be.
Let not thy heart despond and say
“How shall I stand the trying day?”
He has engaged by firm decree,
That as thy days thy strength shall be.
We will rise up like the eagle, we will rise up as the dawn.
We will rise up like the eagle, we will rise up as the dawn.
Thy faith is weak, thy foes are strong,
And if the conflict should be long,
The Lord will make the tempter flee,
For as thy days thy strength shall be.
We will rise up like the eagle, we will rise up as the dawn.
We will rise up like the eagle, we will rise up as the dawn.
When called to bear thy weighty cross,
Or sore affliction, pain, or loss,
Or deep distress or poverty,
Still as thy days thy strength shall be.

Come Every Gracious Heart
Come, every gracious heart,
That loves the Savior’s name,
Come let our songs ring out
To celebrate his fame;
He left his starry crown, and laid his robes aside,
On wings of love came down, and wept, and bled, and died;
What he endured no tongue can tell,
To save our souls from death and hell.
From the dark grave he rose, the mansion of the dead;
And thence his mighty foes in glorious triumph led;
Up through the sky the Conqueror rode,
And reigns on high, the Savior, God.
Come, every gracious heart,
That loves the Savior’s name,
Come let our songs ring out
To celebrate his fame;
From thence he'll quickly come; His chariots will not stay;
And bear our spirits home to realms of endless day.
There shall we see his lovely face,
And ever dwell in his embrace.
Tell all who fear the Lord below,
The debt of love to him you owe.
Tell all who fear the Lord below,
The debt of love to him you owe.
That loves the Savior’s name,
Come let our songs ring out
To celebrate his fame;

To save our souls from death and hell.

And thence his mighty foes in glorious triumph led;
Up through the sky the Conqueror rode,
And reigns on high, the Savior, God.

Come let our songs ring out
To celebrate his fame;
From thence he'll quickly come; His chariots will not stay;
And bear our spirits home to realms of endless day.

And ever dwell in his embrace.
Tell all who fear the Lord below,
The debt of love to him you owe.
Tell all who fear the Lord below,
The debt of love to him you owe.
Unchanging One
O my distrustful heart how small thy faith appears!
But greater, Lord, thou art, than all my doubts and fears.
Did Jesus once upon me shine?
Then Jesus is forever mine.
Unchangable his will; whatever be my frame,
His loving heart is still eternally the same.
My soul through many changes goes,
His love no variation knows.
O praise the great Unchanging One!
O praise the great Unchanging One!
Thou, Lord, wilt carry on, and perfectly perform,
The work thou hast begun in me, a sinful worm.
‘Midst all my fear, and sin, and woe,
Thy Spirit will not let me go.
O praise the great Unchanging One!
O praise the great Unchanging One!
O praise the great Unchanging One!
O praise the great Unchanging One!
The fullness of thy grace at first did freely move
I still shall see thy face, and feel that God is love.
My soul into thy arms I cast;
I trust I shall be saved at last.
But greater, Lord, thou art, than all my doubts and fears.
