Philippians 1:3-6

Verse 1
I thank my God
Upon every remembrance of you,
Always in every prayer of mine
For you all, making request with joy,
For your fellowship in the gospel
From the first day until now;
I thank my God
Upon every remembrance of you.

Being confident of this very thing,
That He which hath begun a good work in you
Will perform it until the day,
The day of Jesus Christ!

I thank my God
Upon every remembrance of you,
Always in every prayer of mine
For you all, making request with joy,
For your fellowship in the gospel
From the first day until now;
I thank my God

[*Draw out last notes*]
Upon e—v’ry- re-mem-brance— of you.

Phil Wickham

“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,
And death shall be no more,
Neither shall there be mourning,
Nor crying, nor pain anymore,
For the former things have passed away.”
“Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty,
Who was and is and is to come!”
Revelation 21:3-4, 4:8

Verse 1
How I long to breathe the air of Heaven,
Where pain is gone and mercy fills the streets,
To look upon the One who bled to save me,
And walk with You for all eternity.

Chorus
There will be a day
When all will bow before You!
There will be a day
When death will be no more!
Standing face to face,
With You, who died and rose again.
Holy, holy are You Lord!

Verse 2
And every prayer we prayed in desperation,
The songs of faith,
We sang through doubt and fear
In the end, we’ll see that it was worth it,
When You return to wipe away our tears!

Chorus
There will be a day
When all will bow before You!
There will be a day
When death will be no more!
Standing face to face,
With You, who died and rose again.
Holy, holy are You Lord!

Verse 3
And on that day, we join the resurrection
And stand beside the heroes of the faith.
With one voice, a thousand generations
Sing, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain!”

And on that day, we join the resurrection
And stand beside the heroes of the faith.
With one voice, a thousand generations
Sing, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain!”

Forever You shall reign!

So let it be today
We shout the Hymn of Heaven!
With angels and the Saints,
We raise a mighty roar!
Glory to our God,
Who gave us life beyond the grave!
Holy, holy are You Lord!

We raise a mighty roar!

Praise the Savior, you who know Him!
Who can tell how much we owe Him?

Soon shall be our own.

Matt Merker & Matt Papa
[Key: D]

Verse 1
What is our hope in life and death?
Christ alone, Christ alone.
What is our only confidence?
That our souls to Him belong.

Who holds our days within His hand?
What comes, apart from His command?
And what will keep us to the end?
The love of Christ, in which we stand.

Chorus
O sing hallelujah!
Our hope springs eternal;
O sing hallelujah!
Now and ever we confess
Christ our hope in life and death!

Verse 2
What truth can calm the troubled soul?
God is good, God is good.
Where is His grace and goodness known?
In our great Redeemer’s blood.

Who holds our faith when fears arise?
Who stands above the stormy trial?
Who sends the waves that bring us nigh
Unto the shore, the rock of Christ?

Chorus
O sing hallelujah!
Our hope springs eternal;
O sing hallelujah!
Now and ever we confess
Christ our hope in life and death!

Verse 3
Unto the grave, what shall we sing?
“Christ, He lives; Christ, He lives!”
And what reward will heaven bring?
Everlasting life with Him.

There we will rise to meet the Lord,
Then sin and death will be destroyed,
And we will feast in endless joy,
When Christ is ours forevermore.

Chorus
O sing hallelujah!
Our hope springs eternal;
O sing hallelujah!
Now and ever we confess
Christ our hope in life and death!

O sing hallelujah!
Our hope springs eternal;
O sing hallelujah!
Now and ever we confess
Christ our hope in life and death!

Meekness and Majesty

Download
1441

Graham Kendrick
[Key: A]

Verse 1
Meekness and majesty, manhood and deity
In perfect harmony, the Man who is God.
Lord of eternity dwells in humanity,
Kneels in humility and washes our feet.

Verse 2
Father’s pure radiance, perfect in innocence
Yet learns obedience to death on a cross.
Suffering to give us life,
Conquering through sacrifice,
And as they crucify prays Father forgive!

Chorus
O, what a mystery! Meekness and majesty!
Bow down and worship, for this is your God!

Verse 3
Wisdom unsearchable, God the invisible,
Love indestructible in frailty appears.
Lord of infinity stooping so tenderly,
Lifts our humanity to the heights of His throne.

Chorus
O, what a mystery! Meekness and majesty!
Bow down and worship, for this is your God!

O, what a mystery! Meekness and majesty!
Bow down and worship, for this is your God!

Bow down and worship, for this is your God!

When I Survey Life’s Varied Scene

Download
234

Words: Anne Steele, 1760
Music & last four lines: Ross Hauck 2020
[Key: G#]

Verse 1
When I survey life’s varied scene,
Amid the darkest hours,
Sweet rays of comfort shine between,
And thorns are mix’d with flowers.
Lord, teach me to adore Thy hand,
From whence my comforts flow;
And let me in this desert land
A glimpse of Canaan know.

Verse 2
Is health and ease my happy share?
O may I bless my God;
Thy kindness let my songs declare,
And spread Thy praise abroad.
While such delightful gifts as these,
Are kindly dealt to me,
Be all my hours of health and ease
Devoted, Lord, to Thee.

Verse 3
When present suff’rings pain my heart,
Or future terrors rise,
And light and hope almost depart
From these dejected eyes,
Thy pow’rful word supports my hope,
Sweet cordial of the mind!
And bears my fainting spirit up,
And bids me wait resign’d.

Verse 4
And oh, whate’er of earthly bliss
Thy sov’reign hand denies,
Accepted at Thy throne of grace,
Let this petition rise:
“Give me a calm, a thankful heart,
From ev’ry murmur free;
The blessings of Thy grace impart,
And let me live to Thee.”

Verse 5
O May the hope that Thou art mine,
My path of life attend;
Thy presence through my journey shine,
And bless its happy end.
‘Til then, whate’er my days shall bring
On Thee my trust is stayed.
Thy Love shall tune my heart to sing
And draw eternal praise.

_____________________________

The Story Behind This Hymn:

“Anne Steele was born at Broughton, Hampshire in 1717. Her father was a timber merchant, and at the same time officiated as the lay pastor of the Baptist Society at Broughton. Her mother died when she was 3. At the age of 19 she became an invalid after injuring her hip.

At the age of 21 she was engaged to be married, but her fiancé drowned the day of the wedding. This hymn was written after the death of her beloved.

For most of her life, she exhibited symptoms of malaria, including persistent pain, fever, headaches, and stomach aches.

Caleb Evans, in his preface to Steele’s posthumous Miscellaneous Pieces in Verse and Prose (1780), noted that she had been bed ridden for “some years” before her death:

“When the interesting hour came, she welcomed its arrival, and though her feeble body was excruciated with pain, her mind was perfectly serene. . . . She took the most affectionate leave of her weeping friends around her, and at length, the happy moment of her dismission arising, she closed her eyes, and with these animating words on her dying lips, “I know that my Redeemer liveth,” gently fell asleep in Jesus.”

Psalm 139:1-6
KJV
[Key: Db]

Verse 1
Oh LORD, Thou hast searched me,
Thou hast searched me and known me.
Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising,
Thou understandest my thought afar off.

Thou compassest my path and my lying down,
And art acquainted with all my ways.
For there is not a word, not a word in my tongue,
But lo, O LORD Thou knowest it altogether.
Thou hast beset me behind and before,
And laid Thine hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me.
It is high, I cannot attain unto it.

Thou hast beset me behind and before,
And laid thine hand upon me.
O LORD, Thou hast searched me,
Thou hast searched me, and known me.

Verse 2
Oh LORD, Thou hast searched me,
Thou hast searched me and known me.
Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising,
Thou understandest my thought afar off.

Thou compassest my path and my lying down,
And art acquainted with all my ways.
For there is not a word, not a word in my tongue,
But lo, O LORD Thou knowest it altogether.
Thou hast beset me behind and before,
And laid Thine hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me.
It is high, I cannot attain unto it.

Thou hast beset me behind and before,
And laid Thine hand upon me.
O LORD, Thou hast searched me,
Thou hast searched me, and known me.
