Verse 1
Christ the sure and steady Anchor
In the fury of the storm!
When the winds of doubt blow through me,
And my sails have all been torn,
In the suffering, in the sorrow,
When my sinking hopes are few,
I will hold fast to the Anchor
It shall never be removed.

Verse 2
Christ the sure and steady Anchor
While the tempest rages on.
When temptation claims the battle,
And it seems the night has won,
Deeper still then goes the Anchor!
Though I justly stand accused,
I will hold fast to the Anchor
It shall never be removed.

Verse 3
Christ the sure and steady Anchor
Through the floods of unbelief.
Hopeless, somehow, oh my soul now,
Lift your eyes to calvary!
This my ballast of assurance
See His love forever proved!
I will hold fast to the Anchor
It shall never be removed.

Verse 4
Christ the sure and steady Anchor
As we face the wave of death.
When these trials give way to glory,
And we draw our final breath,
We will cross that great horizon,
Clouds behind and life secure,
And the calm will be the better,
For the storms that we endure.

Ending
Christ the Sure of our Salvation,
Ever faithful, ever true!
We will hold fast to the Anchor,
It shall never be removed.

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!

Chorus 2
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!

Chorus 2
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!
Holy, holy are You Lord!

Words: Thomas Kelly 1806
Music: Traditional German Melody
[Key: A]

Verse 1
Praise the Savior, you who know Him!
Who can tell how much we owe Him?
Gladly let us render to Him
All we are and have.

Verse 2
Jesus is the name that charms us;
He for conflict fits and arms us;
Nothing moves and nothing harms us
While we trust in Him.

Verse 3
Trust in Him, you saints, forever;
He is faithful, changing never;
Neither force nor guile can sever
Those He loves from Him.

Verse 4
Keep us, Lord, O keep us cleaving
To Thyself and still believing,
Till the hour of our receiving
Promised joys with Thee.

Verse 5
Then we shall be where we would be,
Then we shall be what we should be;
Things that are not now, nor could be,
Soon shall be our own.

Keith Getty and Stuart Townend
[Key: A]

Verse 1
From the breaking of the dawn
To the setting of the sun,
I will stand on every promise of Your Word.
Words of power, strong to save,
That will never pass away,
I will stand on every promise of Your Word.
For Your covenant is sure,
And on this I am secure
I can stand on every promise of Your Word.

Verse 2
When I stumble and I sin,
Condemnation pressing in,
I will stand on every promise of Your Word.
You are faithful to forgive
That in freedom I might live,
So I stand on every promise of Your Word.
Guilt to innocence restored,
You remember sins no more
So I’ll stand on every promise of Your Word.

Verse 3
When I’m faced with anguished choice,
I will listen for Your voice,
And I’ll stand on every promise of Your Word.
Through this dark and troubled land
You will guide me with Your hand
As I stand on every promise of Your Word.
And You’ve promised to complete
Every work begun in me
So I’ll stand on every promise of Your Word.

Verse 4
Hope that lifts me from despair,
Love that casts out every fear,
As I stand on every promise of Your Word.
Not forsaken, not alone,
For the Comforter has come,
And I stand on every promise of Your Word.
Grace sufficient, grace for me,
Grace for all who will believe
We will stand on every promise of Your Word.

Eva B. Lloyd, 1966
[Key: D#]

Verse 1
Come, all christians, be committed
To the service of the Lord.
Make your lives for Him more fitted;
Tune your hearts with one accord.
Come into His courts with gladness;
Each his sacred vows renew.
Turn away from sin and sadness;
Be transformed with life anew.

Verse 2
Of your time and talents give Him-
They are gifts from God above
To be used by Christians freely
To proclaim His wondrous love.
Come again to serve the Savior;
Tithes and off’rings with you bring.
In your work, with Him find favor,
And with joy His praises sing.

Verse 3
God’s command to love each other
Is required of ev’ry one.
Showing mercy to each other
Mirrors His redeeming Son.
In compassion He has given
Of His love that is divine.
On the cross sins were forgiven;
Joy and peace are fully thine.

Verse 4
Come in praise and adoration,
All who on Christ’s name believe.
Worship Him with consecration;
Grace and love will you receive.
For His grace give Him the glory,
For the Spirit and the Word;
And repeat the Gospel story
Till the world His Name has heard.

Verse 1
I serve a risen Savior,
He’s in the world today;
I know that He is living,
Whatever men may say;
I see His hand of mercy,
I hear His voice of cheer,
And just the time I need Him
He’s always near.

Chorus
He lives! He lives!
Christ Jesus lives today!
He walks with me, and talks with me
Along life’s narrow way.
He lives! He lives, salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know He lives:
He lives within my heart!

Verse 2
In all the world around me,
I see His loving care,
And though my heart grows weary
I never will despair;
I know that He is leading
Through all the stormy blast,
The day of His appearing
Will come at last!

Verse 3
Rejoice, rejoice, oh Christian,
Lift up your voice and sing
Eternal hallelujahs to
Jesus Christ the King!
The hope of all who seek Him,
The help of all who find,
None other is so loving,
So good and kind!

Chorus
He lives, He lives,
Christ Jesus lives today!
He walks with me and talks with me
Along life’s narrow way.
He lives, He lives, salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know He lives:
He lives within my heart!

The Master Has Come

Sarah Doudney, 1811-1920
[Key: Eb]

Verse 1
The Master has come
And He calls us to follow
The track of His footprints
He leaves on our way;

Far over the mountain
And through the deep hollow,
The path leads us on
To the eternal day:

The Master has called us,
The children who fear Him,
Who march ‘neath Christ’s banner
His own little flock;

We love Him and seek Him,
We long to be near Him,
And rest in the strength
Of this unyielding Rock.

Verse 2
The Master has called us
To walk in the valleys,
The shadow of death
And the evil so near;

But God who does lead us
To feed in green meadows,
We hear His rejoicing
That brings us to cheer.

The Master has called us,
We run hard to hold Him,
And cling to our Shepherd,
Who stands as our King;

Defends us and helps us,
Our hearts now adoring,
We’ll pass thru this valley
And shout as we sing.

Verse 3
The Master has called us
To live for His glory,
To tell of His mercy
And wonderful grace;

Salvation, revelation,
Redeemed is our story,
He seeks us and finds us
And quickens our pace.

The Master has called us
And love is His banner,
The sheep of His pasture
The chosen in Him;

Our bondage is broken,
Our enemies fallen,
We’ll march on victorious
Thru God we shall win.

Verse 4
The Master has called us
The road may be dreary;
And dangers and demons
May form their attack;

Press onward, look upward
Through much tribulation,
We follow the Savior
And cannot turn back.

The Master has called us
A people most favored,
To ever move forward
And never retreat;

So work on dear brethren
Till we rest from labor,
When we’re in the presence
Of Jesus so sweet.
