1. 2. Abba, Father, let me be Abide with me; fast falls the eventide: Yours and Yours alone. the darkness deepens, Lord with me abide: May my will for ever be when other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Evermore Your own. help of the helpless, O abide with me. Never let my heart grow cold, Swift to its close ebbs out of life’s little day; Never let me go. earth’s joys grow dim; its glories pass away; Abba, Father, let me be change and decay in all around I see: Yours and Yours alone. 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 no 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. 3. 4. Above all powers All around, all around Above all kings Everywhere I look Above all nature Your love is all around And all created things All around, all around Above all wisdom Everywhere I look And all the ways of man Your love is all around You were here Before the world began Let the nations sing, Let the people shout Above all kingdoms Let Your kingdom come, Above all thrones Pour Your Spirit out Above all wonders The world has ever known Above all wealth And treasures of the earth There's no way to measure What You're worth Crucified Laid behind a stone You lived to die Rejected and alone Like a rose Trampled on the ground You took the fall And thought of me Above all 5. Let all things their creator bless, All creatures of our God and King, and worship Him in humbleness: lift up your voice and with us sing: O praise Him, alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son, Thou burning sun with golden beam, and praise the Spirit, three in one: thou silver moon with softer gleam, O praise Him, O praise Him, Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! Thou rushing wind that art so strong, ye clouds that sail in heaven along: O praise Him, alleluia! Thou rising morn in praise rejoice, ye lights of evening find a voice: Thou flowing water, pure and clear, make music for thy Lord to hear: O praise Him, alleluia! Thou fire so masterful and bright, that givest us both warmth and light: Dear mother earth who day by day unfoldest blessings on our way, O praise Him, alleluia! The flowers and fruits that in thee grow, let them His glory also show: 6. 7. All glory, laud and honour All I once held dear, built my life upon, To Thee Redeemer, King, All this world reveres, and wars to own, To whom the lips of children All I once thought gain I have counted loss; Made sweet hosannas ring. Spent and worthless now compared to this. Thou art the King of Israel, Knowing you, Jesus, Thou David’s royal Son, Knowing you, there is no greater thing. Who in the Lord’s name comest, You’re my all, you’re the best, The King and blesséd One. You’re my joy, my righteousness, And I love you Lord. The company of angels Are praising you on high, Now my heart’s desire is to know you more, And mortal men and all things To be found in you and known as yours. Created make reply. To possess by faith what I could not earn, All-surpassing gift of righteousness. The people of the Hebrews With palms before Thee went; Knowing you… Our prayer and praise and anthems Before Thee we present. Oh, to know the pow’r of your risen life, And to know you in your sufferings. To Thee before Thy passion To become like you in your death, my Lord, They sang their hymns of praise; So with you to live and never die. To Thee, now high exalted, Our melody we raise. Knowing you… Thou didst accept their praises, Accept the prayers we bring, Who in all good delightest, Thou good and gracious King. 8. 9. All my days I will sing this song of gladness, All my hope on God is founded; Give my praise to the Fountain of delights; He doth still my trust renew. For in my helplessness You heard my cry, Me through change and chance He guideth, And waves of mercy poured down on my life. Only good and only true. I will trust in the cross of my Redeemer, God unknown, he alone I will sing of the blood that never fails; Calls my heart to be His own. Of sins forgiven, of conscience cleansed, Of death defeated and life without end. Pride of man and earthly glory, Sword and crown betray God’s trust Beautiful Saviour, Wonderful Counsellor, What with lavish care man buildeth, Clothed in majesty, Lord of history, Tower and temple fall to dust. You’re the Way, the Truth, the Life. Star of the Morning, glorious in holiness, But God’s power, hour by hour, You’re the Risen One, heaven’s Champion, Is my temple and my tower. And You reign, You reign over all! God’s great goodness ay endureth, I long to be where the praise is never-ending, Deep His wisdom, passing thought: Yearn to dwell where the glory never fades; Splendour, life and light attend Him, Where countless worshippers will share one song, Beauty springeth out of nought. And cries of ‘worthy’ will honour the Lamb! Evermore, from His store Beautiful Saviour, Wonderful Counsellor, New-born worlds rise and adore. Clothed in majesty, Lord of history, You’re the Way, the Truth, the Life. Still from man to God eternal Star of the Morning, glorious in holiness, Sacrifice of praise be done, You’re the Risen One, heaven’s Champion, High above all praises praising And You reign, You reign over all! For the gift of Christ His Son. Christ doth call one and all; Ye who follow shall not fall. 10. 11. All things bright and beautiful, Alleluia, sing to Jesus, All creatures great and small, His the sceptre, His the throne; All things wise and wonderful, alleluia, His the triumph, The Lord God made them all. His the victory alone: hark the songs of peaceful Zion Each little flower that opens, thunder like a mighty flood: Each little bird that sings, Jesus, out of every nation, He made their glowing colours, hath redeemed us by His blood. He made their tiny wings. Alleluia, not as orphans The purple-headed mountain, are we left in sorrow now; The river running by, alleluia, He is near us, The sunset and the morning faith believes, nor questions how; That brightens up the sky. though the cloud from sight received Him when the forty days were o’er, The cold wind in the winter, shall our hearts forget His promise, The pleasant summer sun, “I am with you evermore”? The ripe fruits in the garden, He made them, every one! Alleluia, bread of Angels, Thou on earth our food, our stay; The tall trees in the greenwood, alleluia, here the sinful The meadows for our play, flee to Thee from day to day; The rushes by the water Intercessor, friend of sinners, To gather every day. earth’s Redeemer, plead for me, where the songs of all the sinless He gave us eyes to see them, sweep across the crystal sea. And lips that we might tell How great is God Almighty Who has made all things well. Alleluia, King eternal, 12. All who are thirsty Thee the Lord of Lords we own; All who are weak alleluia, born of Mary, Come to the fountain earth Thy footstool, heaven Thy throne; Dip your heart in the stream of life Thou within the veil hast entered Let the pain and the sorrow robed in flesh, our great High Priest; Be washed away Thou on earth both priest and victim, In the waves of His mercy As deep cries out to deep in the Eucharistic feast. Come Lord Jesus come (x3) As deep cries out to deep (x2) All who are thirsty All who are weak Come to the fountain Dip your heart in the stream of life Let the pain and the sorrow Be washed away In the waves of His mercy As deep cries out to deep Holy Spirit come (x3) As deep cries out to deep (x3) 13. 14. Amazing grace Amazing grace! How sweet the sound How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me. That saved a wretch like me I once was lost, but now I’m found, I once was lost, but now I'm found Was blind, but now I see. Was blind, but now I see ‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fears relieved. And grace my fears relieved How precious did that grace appear How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed. The hour I first believed Through many dangers, toils and snares My chains are gone I have already come.
