All hail the pow'r of Jesus name
Let angels prostrate fall
Bring
forth the royal diadem
And crown Him Lord of all
Bring forth the
royal diadem
And crown Him Lord of all
Ye chosen seed of Israel's race
Ye ransomed from the fall
Hail
him who saves you by his grace
And crown him Lord of all
Hail him
who saves you by his grace
And crown him Lord of all
Let ev'ry kindred ev'ry tribe
On this terrestrial ball
To him all
majesty ascribe
And crown him Lord of all
To him all majesty
ascribe
And crown him Lord of all
O that with wonder sacred thong
We at his feet may fall
We'll
join the everlasting song
And praise him Lord of all
We'll join the
everlasting song
And praise him Lord of all

Lyrics:
On a hill far away
Stood an old rugged cross
The emblem of
suffering and shame
And I love that old cross
Where the dearest and
best
For a world of lost sinners was slain
Chorus:
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at
last I'll lay down
I will climb to the old rugged cross
And exchange
it some day for a crown
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory
died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my
pride
O that old rugged cross
So despised by the world
Has a wondrous
attraction for me
For the dear Lamb of God left his glory far
above
To bear it to dark Calvary
Repeat Chorus
Dou graças mil a meu Jesus
O amor provado sobre a cruz
Irá suster
e conduzir
A minha vida no porvir
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
Its shame and reproach
gladly bear
Then he's gonna call me some day
To my home far
away
Where his glory forever I'll share
Repeat Chorus
When I survey the wondrous cross
I'll exchange it someday for a
crown

Come home, come home
Ye who are weary, come
home
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling

Why should we linger and heed not his mercies?
Mercies for you
and for me

Lyrics:
Rock of ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in thee
Let the
water and the blood
From thy wounded side which flowed
Be of sin the
double cure
Save from wrath and make me pure

Simply to thy cross I cling
Naked come
to Thee for grace
Helpless look to Thee for grace
Vile I to the
fountain fly
Wash me Savior or I die
Rock of Ages
Rock of Ages

Lead: Robert C. Guy
Lyrics:
I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the
roses
And the voice I hear
Falling on my ear
The Son of God
discloses
Chorus:
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
(Jesus) And
He tells me I am His own (I belong to Him)
And the joy we share as we
tarry there
None other has ever known
He speaks and the sound of his voice
Is so sweet the birds hush
their singing
And the melody that he gave to me
Within my heart is
ringing
Repeat Chorus
Now Mary wept to the tomb
Angels said, "Why cry?"
She said, "Have
you moved him away
Tell me where and I'll get him"
Mary went to the
disciples
With great, great news
And she said, "I've seen the Lord"
I'd stay in the garden with Him
Tho the night around me be
falling
But He bids me go
Thru the voice of woe
His voice to me
is calling
Repeat Chorus (x2)

Lyrics:
Just as I am, without one plea
But that thy blood was shed for
me
And that thou bidd'st me come to thee
O, Lamb of God I come, I
come
I'm not that strong, my hands are unclean
My heart sometimes fills
with sins unseen
And yet he bids, oh, he pleads, but I can't
understand
Why he loves me, yet I come
(spoken)
Nobody knows me better than you Lord
- Nadie me
conoce mejor que Tu Señor,
I guess because you see beyond my
pretenses
- Debe ser porque Tu ves mas allá de mis
pretenciones,
Beyond what I say
- Mas allá de lo que
digo,
And What I do
- Mas allá de lo que hago,
Before
you, my heart seems to be as na open book
- Ante Ti mi corazón es un
libro abierto,
Exposed, and uncovered
- Expuesto, y
descubierto.
You not only see who I am
- Tu no solo ves quien
soy
But who I can be
- Pero quien puedo llegar a
ser.
And in spite of my frailties
- Y a pesar de mis
debilidades
You accept me
- Tu me aceptas
Just as I
am
- Tal como soy.
How do I say "Thank you?"
- ¿Cómo
puedo decir: Gracias?
Just as I am, thy love unknown
Has broken ever barrier down
Now
to be thine, yea thine alone
O, Lamb of God I come, I come

Lead: Gary Moyers
Lyrics:
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I
once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears
relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believe
Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come
Twas
grace that brought me safe thus far
And Grace will lead me home
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the
sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun
I once was lost but now I am found
Was blind but now I see

Praise

The clouds

The trump shall resound
And the Lord

Even so it is well with my soul
