VERSE 1
When I fear my faith will fail,
Christ will hold me fast;
When the tempter would prevail,
He will hold me fast.
I could never keep my hold
through life’s fearful path;
For my love is often cold;
He must hold me fast. 

CHORUS
He will hold me fast,
He will hold me fast;
For my Savior loves me so,
He will hold me fast. 

VERSE 2
Those He saves are His delight,
Christ will hold me fast;
Precious in his holy sight,
He will hold me fast.
He’ll not let my soul be lost;
His promises shall last;
Bought by Him at such a cost, He will hold me fast. 

VERSE 3
For my life He bled and died,
Christ will hold me fast;
Justice has been satisfied;
He will hold me fast.
Raised with Him to endless life,
He will hold me fast
‘Till our faith is turned to sight,
When He comes at last! 

VERSE 1
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride. 

VERSE 2
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ my God!
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood. 

VERSE 3
See from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown 

VERSE 4
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all. 

VERSE 1
What love could remember, no wrongs we have done
Omniscient, all-knowing, He counts not their sum
Thrown into a sea without bottom or shore
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

CHORUS
Praise the Lord
His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness
New every morn’
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

VERSE 2
What patience would wait as we constantly roam
What Father so tender is calling us home
He welcomes the weakest, the vilest, the poor
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more (CHORUS)

VERSE 3
What riches of kindness He lavished on us
His blood was the payment His life was the cost
We stood ‘neath a debt we could never afford
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more (CHORUS)

VERSE 1
All ye that pass by, to Jesus draw nigh:
To you is it nothing that Jesus should die?
Our ransom and peace, Our surety He is:
Come, see if there ever was sorrow like His. 

CHORUS 1
For what we have done His blood must atone:
The Father hath punished for us His dear Son. 

VERSE 2
He dies to atone for sins not His own;
Your debt He hath paid, and your work He hath done.
Ye all may receive the peace He did leave,
Who made intercession, “My Father, forgive!” (CHORUS 2) 

CHORUS 2
For what we have done His blood must atone:
The Father hath punished for us His dear Son.
The Lord, in the day of His anger, did lay
Your sins on the Lamb, and He bore them away. 

BRIDGE
His death is my plea; my Advocate see,
And hear the blood speak that hath answered for me.
My ransom He was when He bled on the cross;
And losing His life He hath carried my cause. (CHORUS 1)

VERSE 1
I stand amazed in the presence
of Jesus the Nazarene,
and wonder how he could love me,
a sinner, condemned, unclean. 

CHORUS
How marvelous! How wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
How marvelous! How wonderful
Is my Savior’s love for me! 

VERSE 2
For me it was in the garden
he prayed: “Not my will, but thine.”
He had no tears for his own griefs,
but sweat-drops of blood for mine. 

VERSE 3
In pity angels beheld him,
and came from the world of light
to comfort him in the sorrows
he bore for my soul that night. (CHORUS) 

VERSE 4
He took my sins and my sorrows,
he made them his very own;
he bore the burden on Calvary,
and suffered and died alone. 

VERSE 5
When with the ransomed in glory
his face I at last shall see,
‘twill be my joy through the ages
to sing of his love for me. (CHORUS) 

VERSE 1
Out of the depths I cry to You
In darkest places I will call
Incline Your ear to me anew
And hear my cry for mercy, Lord

VERSE 2
Were You to count my sinful ways
How could I come before Your throne
Yet full forgiveness meets my gaze
I stand redeemed by grace alone 

CHORUS 1
I will wait for You
I will wait for You
On Your word, I will rely
I will wait for You
Surely wait for You
Till my soul is satisfied

VERSE 3
So put your hope in God alone
Take courage in His power to save
Completely and forever won
By Christ emerging from the grave (CHORUS 1)

VERSE 4  
Now He has come to make a way
And God Himself has paid the price
That all who trust in Him today
Find healing in His sacrifice (CHORUS 2)

CHORUS 2
I will wait for You
I will wait for You
Through the storm and through the night
I will wait for You
Surely wait for You
For Your love is my delight

VERSE 1
There’s no deed that can redeem us,
There’s no rite, nor magic word
Only by the work of Jesus,
Can salvation be secured 

CHORUS
It is finished! He has done it!
Let your weary heart rejoice!
Our redemption is accomplished;
Raise a shout with ragged voice.
And go bravely into battle,
knowing he has won the war
It is finished, lift your head
And weep no more 

VERSE 2
There’s no sacrifice to offer,
there’s no penance to complete
Freely drink of living water,
without money come and feast 

BRIDGE
Let every sinner rejoice!
Hear the dying victor’s cry
Raise – up – your – voice
Sing it out through earth and sky 

VERSE 1
Jesus shall reign where’er the sun
does its successive journeys run,
his kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
till moons shall wax and wane no more.

VERSE 2
To him shall endless prayer be made,
and praises throng to crown his head.
His name like sweet perfume shall rise
with every morning sacrifice.

VERSE 3
People and realms of every tongue
dwell on his love with sweetest song,
and infant voices shall proclaim
their early blessings on his name.

VERSE 4
Blessings abound where’er he reigns:
the prisoners leap to lose their chains,
the weary find eternal rest,
and all who suffer want are blest.

VERSE 5
Let every creature rise and bring
the highest honors to our King,
angels descend with songs again,
and earth repeat the loud amen.

VERSE 1
Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bids’t me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come. 

VERSE 2
Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come. 

VERSE 3
Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come. 

VERSE 4
Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
Sight, riches, healing of the mind,
Yea, all I need in Thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

VERSE 5
Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come. 

VERSE 6
Just as I am, Thy love unknown
Hath broken every barrier down;
Now, to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

VERSE 1
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. 

VERSE 2
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.

VERSE 3
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home. 

VERSE 4
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures. 

VERSE 5
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’d first begun.
