VERSE 1
Take the world, but give me Jesus,
All it’s joys are but a name;
For His love abideth ever,
through eternal years the same

VERSE 2
Take the world but give me Jesus,
Sweetest comforts of my soul;
With my Savior watching over me,
I can sing though billows roll

VERSE 3
Take the world by give me Jesus,
Let me view His constant smile;
Then throughout this life’s long journey,
He will lead me all the while

VERSE 4
Take the world, but give me Jesus.
In His cross my trust shall be,
Till, with clearer, brighter vision,
Face to face my Lord I see!

CHORUS
Take the world, but give me Jesus! (repeat 4x)

BRIDGE
Oh, the height and depth of mercy!
Oh the length and breadth of love!
Oh, the fullness of redemption
Oh the Pledge of endless life above! (repeat 2x)

VERSE 1
The love of God is greater far,
than tongue or pen can ever tell
It goes beyond the highest star,
and reaches to the lowest hell
The guilty pair, bowed down with care,
God gave His only Son to win
His erring child He reconciled,
you and I pardoned from our sin.

CHORUS
Oh, love of God, how rich and pure,
it shall forevermore endure
How measureless and strong
The saints’ and angels’ song we sing “Holy! Holy!” 

VERSE 2
When ancient time shall pass away,
and earthly thrones and kingdoms fall
When men here refuse to pray,
and on rocks, hills and mountains call
God’s love so sure, will still endure,
all measureless and strong
“Redeeming grace to Adam’s race”
shall be the saints’ and angels’ song.

BRIDGE
Could we with ink the ocean fill,
and were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill,
and every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above,
would drain the ocean dry;
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
though stretched from sky to sky. 

VERSE 1
O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the works Thy hands have made,
I see the stars, I hear the Rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

VERSE 2
When through the woods, the forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees,
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze

CHORUS
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee;
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!

VERSE 3
And when I think that God, His Son not sparing,
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.

VERSE 4
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim, my God how great Thou art!

VERSE 1
How deep the Father’s love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
bring many sons to glory

VERSE 2
Behold the man upon a cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

VERSE 3
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection

ENDING
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
How deep the Father’s love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son

VERSE 1
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee;
Holy, holy, holy!
merciful and mighty,
God in three persons, blessed Trinity!

VERSE 2
Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee,
Who wert and art and evermore shalt be.

VERSE 3
Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide thee,
Though the eye made blind by sin
Thy glory may not see,
Only thou art holy; there is none beside thee,
Perfect in power, in love, and purity.

VERSE 4
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All thy works shall praise Thy name,
In earth and sky and sea;
Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty,
God in three persons, blessed Trinity!

VERSE 1
All creatures of our God and King,
Lift up your voice and with us sing, Alleluia! Alleluia!
Thou burning sun with golden beam,
Thou silver moon with softer gleam! O praise Him! O praise Him!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

VERSE 2
And all ye men of tender heart,
Forgiving others, take your part, O praise Him! Alleluia!
Ye who long pain and sorrow bear,
Praise God and on Him cast your care! O praise Him! O praise Him!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

VERSE 3

Come and rejoice in His great love, O praise Him! Alleluia!

And worship Him in humbleness, O praise Him! Alleluia!

VERSE 5
He shall return in pow’r to reign
Heaven and earth will join to say, O praise Him! Alleluia!
Then who shall fall on bended knee?
All creatures of our God and King, O praise Him! O praise Him!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

VERSE 1
Alas! and did my Savior bleed
And did my Sov’reign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?

VERSE 2
Was it for crimes that I had done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!

VERSE 3
Well might the sun in darkness hide
And shut his glories in,
When Christ, the mighty Maker died,
For man the creature’s sin.

VERSE 4
Thus might I hide my blushing face
While His dear cross appears,
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt my eyes to tears.

VERSE 5
But drops of grief can ne’er repay
The debt of love I owe:
Here, Lord, I give myself away,
’Tis all that I can do.

REFRAIN
At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away,
It was there by faith I received my sight,
And now I am happy all the day!

VERSE 1
I once was lost in darkest night yet thought I knew the way
The sin that promised joy and life had led me to the grave
I had no hope that you would own a rebel to your will
And if you had not loved me first I would refuse you still

VERSE 2
But as I ran my hell-bound race indifferent to the cost
You looked upon my helpless state and led me to the cross
And I beheld Gods love displayed you suffered in my place
You bore the wrath reserved for me now all I know is grace

CHORUS
Hallelujah all I have is Christ
Hallelujah Jesus is my life
Hallelujah all I have is Christ
Hallelujah Jesus is my life

VERSE 3
Now Lord I would be yours alone and live so all might see
The strength to follow your commands could never come from me
O father use my ransomed life in any way you choose
And let my song forever be my only boast is you

VERSE 1
My hope is built on nothing less
than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
but wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

VERSE 2
When darkness seems to hide face,
I rest on his unchanging grace;
in every high and stormy gale,
my anchor holds within the veil.

CHORUS
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
all other ground is sinking sand,
all other ground is sinking sand.

VERSE 3
His oath, his covenant, his blood
support me in the whelming flood;
when all around my soul gives way,
he then is all my hope and stay.

VERSE 4
When he shall come with trumpet sound,
O may I then in him be found,
dressed in his righteousness alone,
faultless to stand before the throne.

VERSE 1
To him who loved us long ago, before we came to be,
who left his throne for earth below to save a wretch like me;
All praise to Christ from grateful men forevermore. Amen.

VERSE 2
My works stacked up are filthy rags compared to Your holy name,
I have no claim for righteousness but Christ has made the way;
All praise to Christ from grateful men forevermore. Amen.

VERSE 3
To Him who freed us from our sin by dying on the cross,
To make us whole without, within, redeemed from dreadful loss;
All praise to Christ from grateful men, forevermore. Amen.

VERSE 4
To Him who death but yields and bows before His living face,
the sinless, risen, Sovereign, Lord, makes men alive by grace;
All praise to Christ from grateful men forevermore. Amen.

CHORUS
All praise to Christ from grateful me, forevermore and more amen! (repeat)

VERSE 5
With angels, saints and seraphim the new creation sings,
“All glory, power and praise to him who made us priests and kings”
All praise to Christ from grateful men forevermore. Amen.
