What shall I do, my God to love, my loving God to praise! The length, and breadth, and height to prove and depth of sovereign grace? Thy sovereign grace to all extends, immense and unconfined; From age to age it never ends, it reaches all mankind. Come quickly, then, my Lord, and take possession of Thine own; My longing heart promise to make thine everlasting throne. Throughout the world its breadth is known, wide as infinity, So wide it never passed by one; it never passed by me. Assert Thy claim, receive Thy right, come quickly from above, And sink me to perfection’s height, the depth of humble love.

Hark, the voice of love and mercy sounds aloud from Calvary; See, it rends the rocks asunder, shakes the earth, and veils the sky: “It is finished, It is finished,” Hear the dying Savior cry; “It is finished, It is finished,” Hear the dying Savior cry. “It is finished,” O what pleasure do these charming words afford; Heav’nly blessings, without measure, flow to us from Christ the Lord: “It is finished, it is finished,” Saints the dying words record. “It is finished, it is finished,” Saints the dying words record. Finished all the types and shadows of the ceremonial law; Finished all that God had promised; Death and hell no more shall awe: “It is finished, it is finished,” Saints from hence your comfort draw. “It is finished, it is finished,” Saints from hence your comfort draw. Tune your harps anew, ye seraphs, Join to sing the pleasing theme; Saints on earth, and all in heaven, Join to praise Emmanuel’s name: Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Glory to the bleeding lamb! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Glory to the bleeding lamb!

O for a heart prepared to sing, To God, my Savior and my King; While with his saints I join to tell, My Jesus has done all things well. How sovereign, wonderful, and free, Is all his love to sinful me! He plucked me as a brand from hell; My Jesus has done all things well. And since my soul has known his love, What mercies has he made me prove; Mercies which all my praise excel; My Jesus has done all things well. Soon shall I pass the vale of death, And in his arms shall lose my breath; Yet then my happy soul shall tell, My Jesus has done all things well. And when to that bright world I rise, And join the anthems in the skies, Among the rest this note shall swell, My Jesus has done all things well.

Fountain of Grace wash over me; Healing water make me clean. And in my unbelief, help me to believe; Fountain of Grace wash over me (Chorus) You promise me Your word is true, and Lord, I live because of you; My only hope, I seek your face, You wash me clean, Fountain of Grace. Fountain of grace wash over me; Open my eyes that I may see. When I am fearful let me hide in Thee; Fountain of Grace wash over me (Chorus) Fountain of Grace restore my soul; Mend my heart and make me whole. Lord, I am tired and weary from the road; Fountain of Grace restore my soul. (Chorus)

Alleluia! sing to Jesus! His the scepter, his the throne. Alleluia! His the triumph, his the vict’ry, his alone. Hark! the songs of peaceful Zion thunder like a mighty flood. Jesus out of every nation hath redeemed us by his blood. Alleluia! not as orphans are we left in sorrow now; Alleluia! He is near us, faith believes, nor questions how; Though the cloud from sight received him when the forty days were o'er shall our hearts forget his promise, 'I am with you evermore'? Alleluia! bread of heaven, here on earth our food and stay! Alleluia! here the sinful flee to thee from day to day. Intercessor, Friend of sinners, earth's Redeemer, plead for me. Where the songs of all the sinless sweep across the crystal sea. Alleluia! King eternal, thee the Lord of lords we own; Alleluia! born of Mary, earth thy footstool, heaven thy throne. Thou within the veil hast entered, robed in flesh, our great High Priest. Thou on earth both Priest and Victim in the Eucharistic Feast. Alleluia! sing to Jesus! His the scepter, his the throne. Alleluia! His the triumph, his the vict’ry, his alone. (2x)

It’s not enough to know you love me when my heart hurts this way When I don’t feel your presence, I don’t know what to pray Right now all I feel is empty inside and afraid this pain won’t ease Hold on to me wipe these tears from my face in my faltering faith I cry Hold on to me in my weakness be strong I can’t stand or even breathe Hold on to me People try to explain it, they say she’s safe in your hands But I can’t help but question if this was your plan Right now all I feel is empty inside and afraid this pain won’t ease Hold on to me wipe these tears from my face in my faltering faith I cry Hold on to me in my weakness be strong I can’t stand or even breathe Hold on to me Did you know at night that I’m afraid to close my eyes I see her face so clearly, and I believe the lies If this be a dream awaken me that I may rise and praise thee Hold on to me wipe these tears from my face in my faltering faith I cry Hold on to me in my weakness be strong I can’t stand or even breathe I can’t stand and I can’t breathe

The strife is o'er, the battle done, the victory of life is won; the song of triumph has begun. Alleluia, allelu! The powers of death have done their worst, but Christ their legions hath dispersed: let shout of holy joy outburst. Alleluia, allelu! Alleluia, allelu! Alleluia, alleluia! The three sad days are quickly sped, he rises glorious from the dead: all glory to our risen Head! Alleluia, allelu! He closed the yawning gates of hell, the bars from heaven's high portals fell; let hymns of praise his triumphs tell! Alleluia, allelu! Alleluia, allelu! Alleluia, alleluia! Lord! by the stripes which wounded thee, from death's dread sting thy servants free, that we may live and sing to thee. Alleluia, allelu! Alleluia, allelu! Alleluia, alleluia!
