TELL OUT MY SOUL
1 Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the Lord!
unnumbered blessings, give my spirit voice;
tender to me the promise of his word;
in God my Saviour shall my heart rejoice.

2 Tell out, my soul, the greatness of his name!
make known his might, the deeds his arms have done;
his mercy sure, from age to age the same;
his holy name, the Lord, the Mighty One.

3 Tell out, my soul, the greatness of his might!
pow’rs and dominions lay their glory by.
Proud hearts and stubborn wills are put to flight,
the hungry fed, the humble lifted high.

4 Tell out, my soul, the glories of his word!
firm is his promise, and his mercy sure.
Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the Lord
to children’s children and forevermore!

MY SOUL FINDS REST
1 My soul finds rest in God alone,
my Rock and my salvation,
a fortress strong against my foes,
and I will not be shaken.
Though lips may bless and hearts may curse,
and lies like arrows pierce me,
I’ll fix my heart on righteousness,
I’ll look to him who hears me.

O praise him, hallelujah,
my delight and my reward;
everlasting, never failing,
my Redeemer, my God.

2 Find rest, my soul, in God alone
amid the world’s temptations;
when evil seeks to take a hold,
I’ll cling to my salvation.
Though riches come and riches go,
don’t set your heart upon them;
the fields of hope in which I sow
are harvested in heaven.

O praise him, hallelujah,
my delight and my reward;
everlasting, never failing,
my Redeemer, my God.

3 I’ll set my gaze on God alone,
and trust in him completely;
with every day pour out my soul,
and he will prove his mercy.
Though life is but a fleeting breath,
a sigh too brief to measure,
my King has crushed the curse of death
and I am his forever.

O praise him, hallelujah,
my delight and my reward;
everlasting, never failing,
my Redeemer, my God.

WONDERFUL, MERCIFUL SAVIOUR
1 Wonderful, merciful Saviour,
precious redeemer and friend,
who would have thought that a lamb could
rescue the souls of men—
oh you rescue the souls of men!

You are the one that we praise,
you are the one we adore,
you give the healing and grace our
hearts always hunger for—
oh, our hearts always hunger for!

2 Counsellor, comforter, keeper,
Spirit we long to embrace,
you offer hope when our hearts have
hopelessly lost the way—
oh, we hopelessly lost the way!

You are the one that we praise,
you are the one we adore,
you give the healing and grace our
hearts always hunger for—
oh, our hearts always hunger for!

3 Almighty infinite Father,
faithfully loving your own,
here in our weakness you find us
falling before your throne—
oh, we’re falling before your throne!

You are the one that we praise,
you are the one we adore,
you give the healing and grace our
hearts always hunger for—
oh, our hearts always hunger for!

HOW GREAT IS YOUR LOVE
1 No eye has seen, and no ear has heard,
and no mind has ever conceived
The glorious things that you have prepared
for everyone who has believed!
You brought us near, and you called us your own,
and made us joint-heirs with your Son!

How high and how wide, how deep and how long,
how sweet and how strong is your love!
How lavish your grace, how faithful your ways,
how great is your love, O Lord!

2 Objects of mercy, who should have known wrath,
we’re filled with unspeakable joy;
Riches of wisdom, unsearchable wealth,
and the wonder of knowing your voice!
You are our treasure and our great reward,
our hope and our glorious King!

How high and how wide, how deep and how long,
how sweet and how strong is your love!
How lavish your grace, how faithful your ways,
how great is your love, O Lord!

BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD ABOVE
1 Before the throne of God above,
I have a strong and perfect plea;
a great High Priest whose name is love,
who ever lives and pleads for me.
My name is graven on his hands!
My name is written on his heart!
I know that while in heav’n he stands,
no tongue can bid me thence depart;
no tongue can bid me thence depart.

2 When Satan tempts me to despair,
and tells me of the guilt within,
upward I look and see him there,
who made an end to all my sin.
Because the sinless Saviour died,
my sinful soul is counted free!
For God the just is satisfied,
to look on him and pardon me;
to look on him and pardon me.

3 Behold him there the risen Lamb,
my perfect, spotless righteousness;
the great unchangeable I AM,
the King of glory and of grace.
One with himself I cannot die,
my soul is purchased with his blood;
my life is hid with Christ on high:
with Christ my Saviour and my God;
with Christ my Saviour and my God.

O THE MERCY OF GOD
1 O, the mercy of God, the glory of grace,
that you chose to redeem us, to forgive and restore,
and you called us your children, chosen in Christ
to be holy and blameless to the glory of God.

To the praise of his glorious grace,
to the praise of his glory and pow’r;
to him be all glory, honour and praise
forever and ever and ever, amen.

2 O the richness of grace, the depths of his love,
in him is redemption, the forgiveness of sin.
You called us as righteous, predestined in him
for the praise of his glory, included in Christ.

To the praise of his glorious grace,
to the praise of his glory and pow’r;
to him be all glory, honour and praise
forever and ever and ever, amen.

3 O, the glory of God expressed in his Son,
his image and likeness revealed to us all;
the plea of the ages completed in Christ,
that we be presented perfected in him.

To the praise of his glorious grace,
to the praise of his glory and pow’r;
to him be all glory, honour and praise
forever and ever and ever, amen.

GLORIOUS CHRIST
1 The radiance of the Father,
before the dawn of time,
you spoke and all creation came to be.
The molecules and planets
reveal your great design,
and every one was made so we could see,
so we could see.

You are the glorious Christ,
the greatest of all delights,
your pow’r is unequalled,
your love beyond all heights.
No greater sacrifice
than when you laid down your life—
we join the song of angels,
who praise you day and night:
glorious Christ.

2 You left the air of heaven
to breathe the dust of earth
and dwell among the outcast and the poor.
You came to be forsaken,
and died to take our curse,
so you could be our joy forevermore—
forevermore.

Bridge: You’re seated now in heaven,
enthroned at God’s right hand—
you’ve shattered death and freed us from our fears;
and though we cannot see you,
you’re coming back again,
and all will be made right when you appear—
and all will be made right when you appear.
