Song Lyrics

Come, People of the Risen King

Come, people of the risen King

who delight to bring Him praise.

Come all, and tune your hearts to sing

to the Morning Star of grace.

From the shifting shadows of the earth

we will lift our eyes to Him,

Where steady arms of mercy reach

to gather children in.

 

Rejoice! Rejoice! Let ev’ry tongue rejoice!

One heart, one voice;

O Church of Christ, rejoice!

 

Come, those whose joy is morning sun,

and those weeping through the night.

Come those who tell of battles won,

and those struggling in the fight.

For His perfect love will never change,

and His mercies never cease,

But follow us through all our days

with the certain hope of peace.

 

Come, young and old from ev’ry land,

men and women of the faith;

Come, those with full or empty hands,

find the riches of His grace.

Over all the world His people sing,

shore to shore we hear them call,

The Truth that cries through ev’ry age,

“Our God is all in all.”

 

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.

 

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

 

You’re the author of creation

You’re the Lord of ev’ry man

And Your cry of love rings out

Across the lands

 

Endless Hallelujah

When I stand before Your throne

Dressed in glory not my own

What a joy I’ll sing of on that day

No more tears or broken dreams

Forgotten is the minor key

Ev’rything as it was meant to be

 

And we will worship, worship

Forever in Your presence we will sing

We will worship, worship You

An endless hallelujah to the King

 

I will see You as You are

Love You with unsinning heart

See how much You paid to bring me home

Not ’til then, Lord, shall I know

Not ’til then, how much I owe

Ev’rything I am before Your throne

 

No more tears, no more shame,

No more sin and sorrow ever known again

No more fears no more pain

We will see You face to face

See You face to face

 

By Prayer, By Faith

By prayer, by faith we journey on;

We journey on to our heavenly home,

Where Jesus waits for all His own.

By prayer, by faith, we journey home.

 

Help us Lord, as we walk by faith.

Guide our steps, make our pathway straight.

Steadfast love will keep us forever.

Keep our eyes fixed on You.

 

Hear our prayer for Your daily grace;

Hear us Lord, as we seek Your face.

Though the path can be dark and weary,

Keep our hearts set on You.
