Camino Hymns A Mighty Fortress Is Our God A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing; Our helper He amid the flood, of mortal ills prevailing. For still our ancient foe, doth seek to work us woe; His craft and power are great, and armed with cruel hate, On Earth is not his equal. Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing, Were not the right man on our side, the man of God's own choosing. Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He; Lord Sabbaoth, His name, from age to age the same, And He must win the battle. And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us, We will not fear, for God hath willed, His truth to triumph through us. The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him; His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure; One little word shall fell him. That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them abideth; The Spirit and the gifts are ours, thru Him who with us sideth. Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also; The body they may kill; God's truth abideth still; His kingdom is forever. Abide With Me Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide. When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me. Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth’s joys grow dim; its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; O thou who changest not, abide with me. I need Thy presence every passing hour. What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears not bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if thou abide with me. Hold thou Thy cross before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies. Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. All Glory Laud And Honor Refrain: All glory, laud, and honor, to Thee, Redeemer, King, To whom the lips of children, made sweet hosannas ring. Thou art the King of Israel, thou David's royal Son, Who in the Lord's name comest, the King and Blessed One. (Refrain) The company of angels, are praising Thee on high, And we with all creation, in chorus make reply. (Refrain) The people of the Hebrews, with psalms before Thee went; Our prayer and praise and anthems, before Thee we present. (Refrain) To Thee, before Thy passion, they sang their hymns of praise; To Thee, now high exalted, our melody we raise. (Refrain) Thou didst accept their praises; accept the prayers we bring, Who in all good delightest, thou good and gracious King. (Refrain) All Hail The Power Of Jesus Name All hail the power of Jesus' name! Let angels prostrate fall; Bring forth the royal diadem, and crown him Lord of all. Bring forth the royal diadem, and crown him Lord of all. Ye chosen seed of Israel's race, ye ransomed from the fall, Hail him who saves you by His grace, and crown him Lord of all. Hail him who saves you by His grace, and crown him Lord of all. Sinners, whose love can ne'er forget, the wormwood and the gall, Go spread your trophies at His feet, and crown him Lord of all. Go spread your trophies at His feet, and crown him Lord of all. Let every kindred, every tribe, on this terrestrial ball, To him all majesty ascribe, and crown him Lord of all. To him all majesty ascribe, and crown him Lord of all. Crown him, ye martyrs of your God, who from His altar call; Extol the Stem of Jesse's Rod, and crown him Lord of all. Extol the Stem of Jesse's Rod, and crown him Lord of all. O that with yonder sacred throng, we at His feet may fall! We'll join the everlasting song, and crown him Lord of all. We'll join the everlasting song, and crown him Lord of all. Amazing Grace Amazing grace! How sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found; was blind, but now I see. 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear, the hour I first believed. Through many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come; 'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home. The Lord has promised good to me, His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be, as long as life endures. Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, and mortal life shall cease, I shall possess, within the veil, a life of joy and peace. When we've been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun, We’ve no less days to sing God's praise, than when we first begun. Angels From The Realms of Glory Angels from the realms of glory, wing your flight o'er all the earth; Ye who sang creation's story, now proclaim Messiah's birth: Refrain: Come and worship, come and worship, worship Christ, the newborn king. Shepherds in the field abiding, watching o'er your flocks by night, God with us is now residing; yonder shines the infant light: (Refrain) Sages, leave your contemplations, brighter visions beam afar; Seek the great Desire of nations; ye have seen His natal star: (Refrain) Saints, before the altar bending, watching long in hope and fear; Suddenly the Lord descending, in His temple shall appear: (Refrain) Are Ye Able "Are ye able," said the Master, "to be crucified with me?" "Yea," the sturdy dreamers answered, "to the death we follow Thee." Refrain: Lord, we are able. Our spirits are thine. Remold them, make us, like Thee, divine. Thy guiding radiance above us shall be a beacon to God, to love, and loyalty. Are ye able to remember, when a thief lifts up his eyes, That his pardoned soul is worthy, of a place in paradise? (Refrain) Are ye able when the shadows, close around you with the sod, To believe that spirit triumphs, to commend your soul to God? (Refrain) Are ye able? Still the Master, whispers down eternity, And heroic spirits answer, now as then in Galilee. (Refrain) Away In A Manger Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head. The stars in the sky looked down where He lay, The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay. The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes; I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh. Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever, and love me, I pray; Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care, And fit us for heaven to live with Thee there. Be Thou My Vision Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart; Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art. Thou my best Thought, by day or by night, Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light. Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word; I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord; Thou my great Father, I Thy true son; Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one. Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight; Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight; Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower: Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power. Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise, Thou mine Inheritance, now and always: Thou and Thou only, first in my heart, High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art. High King of Heaven, my victory won, May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun! Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all. Blest Be The Tie That Binds Blest be the tie that binds, our hearts in Christian love; The fellowship of kindred minds, is like to that above. Before our Father's throne, we pour our ardent prayers; Our fears our hopes our aims are one, our comforts and our cares. We share each other's woes, our mutual burdens bear; And often for each other flows, the sympathizing tear. When we asunder part, it gives us inward pain; But we shall still be joined in heart, and hope to meet again. Christ The Lord Is Risen Today Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia!
