Central Songbook 1 Central Songbook July 29, 2017 This file contains all of the lyrics to all of the songs currently sung regularly in the morning services at Central Presbyterian Church. Many other songs for worship (both new and old) are also included. The hyperlinks lead to audio files suitable for learning the tune of each song. Those marked “tune only” link to an instrumental accompaniment (usually in the style of a four-part arrangement for piano or organ). Other links connect to recordings of vocalists singing the song. The specific musical arrangements and the manner of performance in these recordings (e.g., tempo) do not necessarily indicate the arrangements or manner in which a song would be sung at Central Presbyterian Church. The links are provided for purposes of teaching and learning the basic melody of the song. The texts for many older hymns exist in multiple different versions because hymnal editors have altered the texts. In the Central Songbook, the variations for hymns with differing texts have been compared with one another. Modern language updates have been chosen wherever these changes do not eliminate or distort important biblical allusions, theological concepts, or literary features of the text too greatly. Other selection criteria include biblical-theological depth and accuracy and ease of use in congregational singing. (If you want to sing another variant of the text included in the Central Songbook, download the Microsoft Word document form of this file and edit the file for your own use accordingly.) This songbook will grow and develop as new songs are added to and/or removed from Central’s repertoire. Anyone who is interested in acquiring the music for these songs in any format should contact pastor Mike Farley ([email protected]).

Sing like never before, O my soul I'll worship your holy name. The sun comes up, it's a new day dawning. It's time to sing your song again. Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me let me be singing when the evening comes. REFRAIN You're rich in love, and you're slow to anger. Your name is great, and your heart is kind. For all your goodness I will keep on singing, ten thousand reasons for my heart to find. And on that day when my strength is failing, the end draws near and my time has come. Still my soul will sing your praise unending, ten thousand years and then forevermore. REFRAIN (2x) 3 A Debtor to Mercy Alone Text: Augustus Toplady, 1771 Tune: Sherdonna Denholm, 2009; © 2009, Sherdonna Denholm https://www.dropbox.com/s/en9al3cd5sjw59n/A%20Debtor%20To%20Mercy%20Alone.mp3?dl=0 1. A debtor to mercy alone, of covenant mercy I sing, nor fear, with thy righteousness on, my person and off'ring to bring. The terrors of law and of God with me can have nothing to do. My Saviour's obedience and blood hide all my transgressions from view. 2. The work which his goodness began, the arm of his strength will complete. His promise is Yea and Amen, and never was forfeited yet. Things future, nor things that are now, nor all things below or above, can make him his purpose forgo or sever my soul from his love. 3. My name from the palms of his hands eternity will not erase. Impressed on his heart it remains, In marks of indelible grace. Yes, I to the end shall endure, as sure as the earnest is giv'n, more happy, but not more secure, the glorified spirits in heav'n. 4 A Hymn of Glory Let Us Sing Text: Bede, 673-735; tr. Lutheran Book of Worship, 1978, alt.; © 1978, Lutheran Book of Worship Tune: Auserlesen Catholische Geistliche Kirchengesange, Cologne, 1623; adapt. and harm. Ralph Vaughan Williams, 1906 LASST UNS ERFREUEN http://www.hymnary.org/media/fetch/148341 (tune only) LM + alleluias 1. A hymn of glory let us sing; new songs throughout the world shall ring: Alleluia! Alleluia! Christ, by a road before untrod, ascends unto the throne of God. REFRAIN Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! 2. The holy apostolic band upon the Mount of Olives stand; Alleluia! Alleluia! And with his faithful foll’wers see their Lord ascend in majesty. REFRAIN 3. To them the shining angels cry, “Why stand and gaze upon the sky? Alleluia! Alleluia! “This is the Savior,” thus they say; “This is his glorious triumph day!” REFRAIN 4. “You see him now, ascending high up to the portals of the sky.” Alleluia! Alleluia! “Hereafter Jesus you shall see returning in great majesty.” REFRAIN 5. Be now our joy on earth, O Lord, and be our future great reward. Alleluia! Alleluia! Then, throned with you forever, we shall praise your name eternally. REFRAIN 6. O risen Christ, ascended Lord, all praise to you let earth accord: Alleluia! Alleluia! You are, while endless ages run, with Father and with Spirit one. REFRAIN 5 A Mighty Fortress Is Our God Text: Martin Luther, 1529; tr. Frederick Hedge, 1853 Tune: Martin Luther, 1529; harm. Johann S. Bach, 1685-1750 EIN FESTE BURG (isorhythmic) http://www.hymnary.org/media/fetch/136741 (tune only) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0NUslfW-w8 (classical) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FY4DCG-nFBI (contemporary) 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 1. 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 pow’r are great; and armed with cruel hate, on earth is not his equal. 2. 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 Sabaoth his name, from age to age the same, and he must win the battle. 3. 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. 4. That Word above all earthly pow’rs, no thanks to them, abideth; the Spirit and the gifts are ours through 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. 6 Abide with Me Text: Henry F. Lyte, 1847 Tune: Justin Smith, 2007; © 2007, Justin Smith Music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Yffl9qDN2Y 1. 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, abide with me. 2. Thou on my head, in early youth didst smile, and, though rebellious, and perverse meanwhile, thou hast not left me, oft as I left thee. On to the close Lord, abide with me. 3. 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, abide with me. 4. I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless. Ills have no weight; tears lose their bitterness. Where is thy sting death? Where grave thy victory? I triumph still; abide with me. 5. 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, Lord, abide with me. 7 Abiding City Text and tune: Sandra Mccracken © 2005 Same Old Dress Music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xm6jZ7yIRgc O sweet home of love and peace where pilgrims tired and troubled rest, into the hope of Zion lean where in Jesus’ arms we will fall at last. Addiction’s empty promises this broken world just can’t satisfy. A sweeter song, redemption’s bliss is sealed for us in paradise. REFRAIN O lift up your head for the day is near. We have no abiding city here. Spirit, heal our neighborhood until your kingdom work is done. Teach us what is just and good as we look for the city that’s yet to come. REFRAIN A city filled with gold and light, God the builder and the architect, when our faith is turned to sight, O I cannot imagine it. REFRAIN 8 Advent/Christmas Doxology Tune: Traditional French melody; harm. Edward S. Barnes, 1937 GLORIA http://www.hymnary.org/media/fetch/148402 (tune only) 7.7.7.7 ref. Praise the Lord, the coming King. All his saints, his glory sing. Praise God all you heavenly host, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Gloria in excelsis Deo!

I believe they contain no blunders, and they are as good as I can make them ; but my aim is practical, namely, to teach those who know little about verses how they may learn more. In games we often learn more from those who are just good enough to beat us, than we could learn from professional players ; and so I trust that if these verses are only a little better than the learner can make, he will learn from them none the less. What is here printed is the substance of composition lectures which I have been in the habit of giving for the last ten or twelve years.

  • Message in the Music 5/6 Trapped by the Flames and Smoke in His Second-Story Bedroom
    b. Meet This Message i. “All My Hope” is a prodigal story reminding us that we all stray away from God and He still welcomes us back with open arms when we come back to Him! ii. Think about “hope” for a moment. 1. When I say hope, are you thinking “I hope everything thing is okay”? “Hope” = wishful thinking/Disney dreaming? 2. No! Hope = faith / belief / confidence! (pic of burning house on screen) It’s like that story of a family was awakened by their smoke detector in the middle of the night to discover that their house was on fire. The father ran into the upstairs bedroom of his children and carried his eighteen-month-old baby in his arms while dragging his four-year-old son by the hand. They were halfway down the stairs when the little boy remembered that he had left his teddy bear in the bedroom, so he broke free from his father’s hand and ran back to the bedroom to retrieve it. In the furor and confusion, the father didn’t notice that his son wasn’t with him until he got outside. By now the little boy was Message in the Music 5/6 trapped by the flames and smoke in his second-story bedroom.

  • 'It's All About Jesus'
    EQ 81.3 (2009), 254–268 ‘It’s all about Jesus’: a critical analysis of the ways in which the songs of four contemporary worship Christian songwriters can lead to an impoverished christology Andrew Goodliff Andy Goodliff is training for Baptist ministry and completing an MTh at Regent’s Park College, University of Oxford KEY WORDS: christology, worship, songs, Jesus, trinity, priestly office, prophetic office The last fifteen years have seen the rise of a new group of young prolific Chris- tian songwriters whose worship songs have found a global audience, particu- larly in the UK where they all live.1 Three of the songwriters – Matt Redman, Tim Hughes and Martyn Layzell, have close links with the Christian youth organisa- tion Soul Survivor and its erstwhile parent New Wine; while one – Paul Oakley, has links with New Frontiers. Soul Survivor, New Wine and New Frontiers are all expressions of charismatic Christianity. New Wine and Soul Survivor grew out of the relationship between David Pytches (then minister at St. Andrew’s Chorley- wood) and John Wimber, the then leader and founder of Vineyard.2 The values of Vineyard, its emphasis on worship and signs and wonders are evident in both New Wine and Soul Survivor.3 New Frontiers emerged out of the house-church movement of the 1970s under the leadership of Terry Virgo.4 It was also influ- enced by John Wimber and Vineyard, and is shaped by a Calvinistic theology.5 1 This article is only able to look at four Christian songwriters. The four in this study were chosen because of their connection to worship aimed at young people (that is, those who are predominantly in their teens and twenties), which they pioneered from the mid-1990s onwards.
