Song Lyrics

Across the Lands

You’re the Word of God the Father

From before the world began

Ev’ry star and ev’ry planet

Has been fashioned by Your hand

All creation holds together

By the power of Your voice

Let the skies declare Your glory

Let the land and seas rejoice!

 

You’re the author of creation

You’re the Lord of ev’ry man

And Your cry of love rings out

Across the lands

 

Yet You left the gaze of angels

Came to seek and save the lost

And exchanged the joy of heaven

For the anguish of a cross

With a prayer You fed the hungry

With a word You stilled the sea

Yet how silently You suffered

That the guilty may go free

 

With a shout You rose victorious

Wresting victory from the grave

And ascended into heaven

Leading captives in Your wake

Now You stand before the Father

Interceding for Your own

From each tribe and tongue and nation

You are leading sinners home

 

Great Is Thy Faithfulness

Great is Thy faithfulness O God my Father

There is no shadow of turning with Thee

Thou changest not

Thy compassions they fail not

As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be

 

Great is Thy faithfulness! 

Great is Thy faithfulness!

Morning by morning new mercies I see

All I have needed Thy hand hath provided

Great is Thy faithfulness Lord unto me

 

Summer and winter

and springtime and harvest

Sun moon and stars in their courses above

Join with all nature in manifold witness

To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love

 

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth

Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide

Strength for today

and bright hope for tomorrow

Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside

 

 

Facing a Task Unfinished

Facing a task unfinished,

That drives us to our knees.

A need that, undiminished,

Rebukes our slothful ease.

We, who rejoice to know Thee,

Renew before Thy throne

The solemn pledge we owe Thee

To go and make Thee known.

 

We go to all the world,

With kingdom hope unfurled.

No other name has power to save

But Jesus Christ the Lord.

 

Where other lords beside Thee

Hold their unhindered sway;

Where forces that defied Thee,

Defy Thee still today.

With none to heed their crying

For life, and love, and light,

Unnumbered souls are dying

And pass into the night.

 

We bear the torch that, flaming,

Fell from the hands of those

Who gave their lives proclaiming

That Jesus died and rose.

Ours is the same commission,

The same glad message ours;

Fired by the same ambition,

To Thee we yield our powers.

 

O Father who sustained them,

O Spirit who inspired,

Savior, whose love constrained them

To toil with zeal untired.

From cowardice defend us,

From lethargy awake!

Forth on Thy errands send us

To labor for Thy sake.

 

We go to all the world,

With kingdom hope unfurled.

No other name has power to save

But Jesus Christ the Lord.

 

All Glory Be to Christ

Should nothing of our efforts stand

No legacy survive

Unless the Lord does raise the house

In vain its builders strive

To you who boast tomorrow’s gain

Tell me what is your life

A mist that vanishes at dawn

All glory be to Christ!

 

All glory be to Christ our king!

All glory be to Christ!

His rule and reign we’ll ever sing

All glory be to Christ!

 

His will be done

His kingdom come

On earth as is above

Who is Himself our daily bread

Praise Him the Lord of love

Let living water satisfy

The thirsty without price

We’ll take that cup of kindness yet

All glory be to Christ!

 

When on the day the great I Am

The faithful and the true

The Lamb who was for sinners slain

Is making all things new

Behold our God shall live with us

And be our steadfast light

And we shall ere his people be

All glory be to Christ!
