C F C G CO worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness,F C a D GBow down before Him, His glory proclaim;C F GWith gold of obedience, and incense of lowliness,C Ab G/C a C/G G CKneel and a-dore Him: the Lord is His name.

Low at His feet lay thy burden of carefulness,High on His heart He will bear it for thee,Comfort thy sorrows, and answer thy prayerfulness,Guiding thy steps as may best for thee be.

Fear not to enter His courts in the slendernessOf the poor wealth thou wouldst reckon as thine;Truth in its beauty, and love in its tenderness,These are the offerings to lay on His shrine.

These, though we bring them in trembling and fearfulness,He will accept for the name that is dear;

The Lord in Zion reigneth, and who so great as He?The depths of earth are in His hands; He rules the mighty sea.O crown His Name with honor, and let His standard wave,Till distant isles beyond the deep shall own His power to save.

The Lord in Zion reigneth, these hours to Him belong;O enter now His temple gates, and fill His courts with song;Beneath His royal banner let every creature fall,Exalt the King of heaven and earth, and crown Him Lord of all.

Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine;So from the beginning the fight we were winning;Thou, Lord, were at our side, all glory be Thine!

We all do extol Thee, Thou leader triumphant,And pray that Thou still our defender wilt be.

O enter then his gates with praise; approach with joy his courts unto; praise, laud, and bless his name always, for it is seemly so to do.

For why! the Lord our God is good; his mercy is forever sure; his truth at all times firmly stood, and shall from age to age endure.

Sun of our life, Thy quickening ray Shed on our path the glow of day; Star of our hope, Thy softened light Cheers the long watches of the night, Cheers the long watches of the night.

Our midnight is Thy smile withdrawn; Our noontide is Thy gracious dawn; Our rainbow arch, Thy mercy's sign; All, save the clouds of sin, are Thine,All, save the clouds of sin, are Thine.

Lord of all life, below, above Whose light is truth, whose warmth is love, Before Thy ever-blazing throne We ask no luster of our own, We ask no luster of our own.

Grant us Thy truth to make us free And kindling hearts that burn for Thee; Till all Thy living altars claim One holy light, one heavenly flame! One holy light, one heavenly flame.

Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might;Thy justice, like mountains, high soaring aboveThy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love.

To all, life Thou givest, to both great and small;In all life Thou livest, the true life of all;We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,And wither and perish - but naught changeth Thee.

Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight;All praise we would render; O help us to see'Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee!

God is our Song, for Jesus comes to save;While praising Him we offer all we have.New songs we sing, in ventures new unite,When Jesus leads us upward into light,When Jesus leads us upward into light.

This is the Song no conflict ever drowns;Who praises God our human wrath disowns.Love knows what rich complexities of soundGod builds upon a simple common ground,God builds upon a simple common ground.

God is our Silence when no songs are sung, When ecstasy or sorrow stills the tongue.Glorious the faith which silently obeysUntil we find again the voice of praise,Until we find again the voice of praise

His voice, as the sound of the dulcimer sweet,Is heard through the shadows of death;The cedars of Lebanon bow at His feet,The air is perfumed with His breath.

His lips, as a fountain of righteousness flow,To water the gardens of grace;From which their salvation the Gentiles shall know,And bask in the smiles of His face.

He looks, and ten thousands of angels rejoice,And myriads wait for His word;He speaks, and eternity, filled with His voice,Reechoes the praise of the Lord.

I need Thy presence every passing hour.What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power?Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?I triumph still, if Thou abide with me!

We thank Thee that Thy church, unsleeping while earth rolls onward into light,through all the world her watch is keeping, and rests not now by day or night.

As o'er each continent and island the dawn leads on another day, the voice of prayer is never silent, nor die the strains of praise away.

So be it, Lord; Thy throne shall never, like earth's proud empires, pass away. Thy kingdom stands, and grows forever, till all Thy creatures own Thy sway.

This star drew nigh to the northwest,O'er Bethlehem it took its rest,And there it did both stop and stay,Right over the place where Jesus lay.

Then entered in those wise men three,Full reverently upon the knee,And offered there, in His presence,Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.

I've found a Friend; oh, such a Friend!He bled, He died to save me;And not alone the gift of life,But His own self He gave me.Nought that I have my own I call,I hold it for the Giver;My heart, my strength, my life my all,Are His, and His forever.

I've found a Friend; oh, such a Friend!All power to Him is given;To guard me on my upward course,And bring me safe to heaven.The eternal glories gleam afar,To nerve my faint endeavor;So now to watch, to work, to war,And then to rest forever.

A Dthey will fold their wings, G D/F# A/E DFor angels never felt the joys A 7 Dthat our salvation brings.

But I hear another anthem, blending voices clear and strong,"Unto Him who hath redeemed us and hath bought us," is the song;We have come thro' tribulations to this land so fair and bright,In the fountain freely flowing He hath made our garments white.

Then the angels stand and listen, for they cannot join that song,Like the sound of many waters, by that happy, blood-washed throng;For they sing about great trials, battles fought and vict'ries won,And they praised the great Redeemer, who hath said to them, "Well done."

So, although I'm not an angel, yet I know that over thereI will join a blessed chorus that the angels cannot share;I will sing about my Savior, who upon dark CalvaryFreely pardoned my transgressions, died to set the sinner free.

And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us, we will not fear, for God hath willed his truth to triumph through us. The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him; his rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure; one little word shall fell him.

That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth; the Spirit and the gifts are ours, thru him who with us sideth. Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also; the body they may kill; God's truth abideth still; his kingdom is forever.
