Revelation 5:11-12
[Keys: D,Eb,E]

Verse 1
I heard the voice of many angels
‘Round about the throne
And the beasts and the elders
And I beheld, and the number of them
Was ten thousand times ten thousand
And thousands of thousands;
Saying with a loud voice:

Chorus
Worthy is the Lamb!
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain,
To receive power and riches,
And wisdom and strength
And honor and glory and blessing!

[Key change]
Worthy is the Lamb!
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain!

Worthy is the Lamb!
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
To receive power and riches,
And wisdom and strength
And honor and glory and blessing
Worthy is the Lamb!

O Sacred Head, Now Wounded

Download
915

Bernard of Clairvaux, 1091-1153
[Key: F]

Verse 1
O sacred Head now wounded, with grief and shame weighed down,
Now scornfully surrounded with thorns, Thine only crown;
How pale Thou art with anguish, with sore abuse and scorn!
How does that visage languish, which once was bright as morn!

Verse 2
What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered, was all for sinners’ gain;
Mine, mine was the transgression, but Thine the deadly pain.
Lo, here I fall, my Savior! ‘Tis I deserve Thy place;
Look on me with Thy favor, vouchsafe to me Thy grace.

Verse 3
What language shall I borrow to thank Thee, Dearest Friend,
For this Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end?
O make me Thine forever, and should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never outlive my love to Thee.

Verse 4
My Shepherd, now receive me; my Guardian, own me Thine.
Great blessings Thou didst give me, O Source of gifts divine.
Thy lips have often fed me with words of truth and love;
Thy Spirit oft hath led me to heavenly joys above.

Verse 5
My Savior, be Thou near me when death is at my door;
Then let Thy presence cheer me, forsake me nevermore!
When soul and body languish, oh, leave me not alone,
But take away mine anguish by virtue of Thine own

Psalm 22 (My God, My God)

Based on Psalm 22
Music: Irish Melody- Kingsfold
[Key: Db Minor]

Verse 1
My God, my God,
O why Have you forsaken me?
O why are you so far from Giving help
And from my groaning cry?
By day and night, my God, I call;
Your answer still delays.
And yet you are the Holy One
Who dwells in Israel’s praise.

Verse 2
Our fathers put their trust in you;
From you their rescue came.
They begged you and you set them free;
They were not put to shame.
But as for me, I am a worm
And not a man at all.
To men I am despised and base;
Their scornings on me fall.

Verse 3
All those who look at me will
laugh and cast reproach at me.
Their mouths they open wide;
They wag their heads in mockery:
“The Lord was his reliance once;
Now see what God will send.
Yes, let God rise and set him free,
This man that was his friend.”

Verse 4
You took me from my mothers womb
To safety at the breast.
Since birth when I was cast on you,
In you, my God, I rest.
When I proclaim my praise of you,
Then all the church will hear,
And I will pay my vows in full
Where men hold him in fear.

What can wash away my sin?

Oh! Precious is the flow

For my cleansing, this I see,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Nothing can for sin atone,

Not What My Hands Have Done

Horatius Bonar, 1861
[Key: Bb]

Verse 1
Not what my hands have done
Can save my guilty soul;
Not what my toiling flesh has borne
Can make my spirit whole
Not what I feel or do
Can give me peace with God;
Not all my prayers and sighs and tears
Can bear my awful load.

Verse 2
Thy work alone, O Christ,
Can ease this weight of sin;
Thy blood alone, O Lamb of God
Can give me peace within.
Thy love to me, O God,
Not mine, O Lord, to Thee,
Can rid me of this dark unrest,
And set my spirit free.

Verse 3
Thy grace alone, O God,
To me can pardon speak;
Thy power alone, O Son of God,
Can this sore bondage break.
No other work, save Thine,
No other blood will do;
No strength, save that which is divine,
Can bear me safely through

Verse 4
I bless the Christ of God;
I rest on love divine;
And with unfaltering lip and heart,
I call this Savior mine.
His cross dispels each doubt;
I bury in His tomb
Each thought of unbelief and fear
Each lingering shade of gloom.

Verse 5
I praise the God of grace;
I trust His truth and might;
He calls me His, I call Him mine,
My God, my joy, my light.
‘Tis He who saveth me,
And freely pardon gives;
I love because He loveth me,
I live because He lives.

Matt Redman

Verse 1
I will kneel in the dust
At the foot of the cross,
Where mercy paid for me.
Where the wrath I deserved,
It is gone, it has passed.
Your blood has hidden me.

Mercy, mercy
As endless as the sea.
I’ll sing Your hallelujah
For all eternity.

We will lift up the cup
And the bread we will break,
Remembering Your love.
We were fallen from grace,
But You took on our shame
And nailed it to the cross.

Mercy, mercy
As endless as the sea.
I’ll sing Your hallelujah
For all eternity.

Bridge
May I never lose the wonder,
Oh, the wonder of Your mercy.
May I sing Your hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Amen.

May I never lose the wonder,
Oh, the wonder of Your mercy.
May I sing Your hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Amen.

Chorus
Mercy, mercy
As endless as the sea.
I’ll sing Your hallelujah
For all eternity.

Verse 4
I will kneel in the dust
At the foot of the cross,
Where mercy paid for me.

Marvelous Grace

Julia H. Johnston, 1910
[Key: Eb]

Verse 1
Marvelous grace of our loving Lord,
Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt!
Yonder on Calvary’s mount outpoured,
There where the blood of the Lamb was spilt.

Chorus
Grace, grace, God’s grace,
      [Marvelous grace, infinite grace]
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within;
Grace, grace, God’s grace,
      [Marvelous grace, infinite grace]
Grace that is greater than all our sin.

Verse 2
Sin and despair, like the sea waves cold,
Threaten the soul with infinite loss;
Grace that is greater, yes, grace untold,
Points to the Refuge, the Mighty Cross.

Chorus
Grace, grace, God’s grace,
      [Marvelous grace, infinite grace]
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within;
Grace, grace, God’s grace,
      [Marvelous grace, infinite grace]
Grace that is greater than all our sin.

Verse 3
Dark is the stain that we cannot hide.
What can avail to wash it away?
Look! There is flowing a Crimson Tide,
Brighter than snow you may be today.

Chorus
Grace, grace, God’s grace,
      [Marvelous grace, infinite grace]
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within;
Grace, grace, God’s grace,
      [Marvelous grace, infinite grace]
Grace that is greater than all our sin.
