I will give thanks to Thee,

O Lord, among the people.

I will sing praises to Thee

Among the nations.

For Thy steadfast love is great,

Is great to the heavens

And Thy faithfulness,

Thy faithfulness to the clouds.

Refrain:

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens

Let Thy glory be over all the earth.

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens

Let Thy glory be over all the earth.

To end:

Let Thy glory, let Thy glory

Let Thy glory be over all the earth.

Be still for the presence of the Lord,

The Holy One, is here.

Come, bow before Him now

With reverence and fear.

In Him no sin is found,

We stand on holy ground.

Be still for the presence of the Lord,

The Holy One, is here.

Be still for the glory of the Lord

Is shining all around.

He burns with holy fire

With splendor He is crowned.

How awesome is the sight,

Our radiant King of light!

Be still for the glory of the Lord

Is shining all around.

Be still for the power of the Lord

Is moving in this place.

He comes to cleanse and heal,

To minister His grace.

No work too hard for Him,

In faith receive from Him.

Be still for the power of the Lord

Is moving in this place.

Behold the Lamb, our sacrifice

Once bound in death, now stands alive.

Behold His light, full shining forth

And stand amazed,

All you nations on the earth!

All praise to the Son,

Who rules o’er all men!

All praise to the One

Who died for us and lives again!

Our Shepherd and King

Is raised up on high.

Our Lord Jesus Christ,

Both God and man, is glorified.

He lives evermore,

His reign without end,

Our gracious High Priest

Whose blood has slain

Both death and sin.

He has shaken the earth

Destroying the veil

He opens the way

The Father’s throne is now revealed!

Come, enter His gates,

You righteous draw near,

Give thanks to His name

With songs of joy His vict’ry share.

All heavenly choirs,

All servants of God, proclaim His truth:

He is alive!

Men: He reigns on high!

Women: Hallelujah!

Men: He reigns on high!

Women: Hallelujah!

Men: He reigns on high!

Women: Hallelujah!

Both: He reigns on high!

Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart

Naught be all else to me save that Thou art.

Thou my best thought by day or by night

Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my wisdom and Thou my true word

I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord.

Thou my great Father, I Thy true son

Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my battle shield, sword for my fight

Be Thou my dignity, Thou my delight.

Thou my soul’s shelter, Thou my high tow’r

Raise Thou me heav’nward,

O Pow’r of my pow’r.

Riches I heed not nor man’s empty praise

Thou mine inheritance now and always.

Thou and Thou only, first in my heart

High King of heaven, my treasure Thou art.

High King of heaven, my victory won

May I reach heaven’s joys,

O bright heaven’s Son.

Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,

Still be my vision, O Ruler of all.

Behold the Lamb, our sacrifice

Once bound in death, now stands alive.

Behold His light, full shining forth

And stand amazed,

All you nations on the earth!

All praise to the Son,

Who rules o’er all men!

All praise to the One

Who died for us and lives again!

Both God and man, is glorified.

His reign without end,

Our gracious High Priest

Whose blood has slain

Both death and sin.

The Father’s throne is now revealed!

Come, enter His gates,

You righteous draw near,

Behold, God is my salvation

I will trust and will not be afraid.

For the Lord, my God

Is my strength and song,

He also has become my salvation.

For the Lord, my God

Is my strength and song,

He also has become my salvation.

Refrain:

La la la la la la…

La la la la la la…

Bethlehem rejoices

Hark! The voices clear

Singing in the starlight

Nearer and more near.

Refrain:

Unto God be glory

Peace to men be given.

This is His will who dwelleth

In the heights of heaven.

Heaven cannot contain Him

Nor the bounds of earth.

Yet, O glorious mystery,

Virgin gives Him birth.

Refrain:

Unto God be glory

Peace to men be given.

This is His will who dwelleth

In the heights of heaven.

Now the light ariseth

In the darkened skies.

Now the proud are humbled

And the lowly rise.

Refrain:

Unto God be glory

Peace to men be given.

This is His will who dwelleth

In the heights of heaven.

Blest are You, Lord God of all creation

Thanks to Your goodness

This bread we offer

Fruit of the earth, work of our hands

It will become the Bread of Life.

Refrain:

Blessed be God! Blessed be God!

Blessed be God forever, Amen!

Blessed be God! Blessed be God!

Blessed be God forever, Amen!

Blest are You, Lord God of all creation

Thanks to Your goodness

This wine we offer

Fruit of the vine, work of our hands

It will become the Cup of Joy.

Blessed be the name of the Lord.

He is worthy to be praised and adored.

So we lift up holy hands in one accord

Singing: Blessed be the name,

Blessed be the name,

Blessed be the name of the Lord.

Refrain:

Blessing and glory,

Wisdom and thanksgiving,

Honor and power and might

Be to our God, forever and ever.

Amen.  Amen.  Amen.

The kingdom of the world has become

The kingdom of our Lord

And of His Christ

And He shall reign forever and ever.

Amen.

Refrain:

Blessing and glory,

Wisdom and thanksgiving,

Honor and power and might

Be to our God, forever and ever.

Amen.  Amen.  Amen.

Now the salvation and the power

And the kingdom of our God

And the authority of His Christ have come.

Refrain:

Blessing and glory,

Wisdom and thanksgiving,

Honor and power and might

Be to our God, forever and ever.

Amen.  Amen.  Amen.

Blest the man whose trust is the Lord

And his heart delights

Not in false reward.

But his hope is at the end of his days

To behold his God and on Him gaze.

Greater joy a man has not

Than to lay his life before his God.

He will find a treasure held secure

In that place of rest forever more.

Sacrifice Thou hast not desired

But obedience that’s tried by fire

An offering of life unreserved

Poured out in love to You, O Lord.

We give loyalty and honor to You,

Our King and Captain, Master true.

And to You alone be honor and laud

Our souls’ delight, the Triune God.

Born into a battle,

A warfare to know

Beyond the visible we see it,

The army, the field and the foe.

God alone in the garden

Where it began long ago

Where the enemy who rose up

Deceived the man God made

Where God stated His intention

To crush that serpent’s head.

Refrain:

For the kingdom of this world it shall become

The kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ

And He shall reign forever and evermore.

Entered into vict’ry,

What wisdom this plan?

God’s Son, born of a woman,

Messiah, an ordinary man.

Satan said, “It seems so easy.”

As nail through flesh and blood ran

“Sure this foolishness can’t threaten

My reign of death and sin.”

But the third day Jesus rose up

And triumphed over him.

Refrain:

For the kingdom of this world it shall become

The kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ

And He shall reign forever and evermore.

Toward the final conflict

God’s Word our command

We move inevitably onward

God’s weapons held in our hands.

In Him we shall do more than conquer

Before our Lord, who can stand?

Man shall glorify his Maker

God shall be enjoyed

And that one called the deceiver

His works shall be destroyed.

Refrain:

For the kingdom of this world it shall become

The kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ

And He shall reign forever and evermore.

See God rise up in shouts

Of jubilant praise

He appears with robes of light.

O exalt Him, acclaim the Ancient of days

Celebrate with all your might.

Refrain:

Build Your throne in our assembly

For we prepare Your habitation.

Pitch Your tent in our praise and glory

Build Your throne, O Lord.

Our enemies attack with iron and steel

We advance with harps and lyre.

They do battle in vain using their skill

For we fight with holy fire.

Refrain:

Build Your throne in our assembly

For we prepare Your habitation.

Pitch Your tent in our praise and glory

Build Your throne, O Lord.

Admire the towers, the walls,

The fortress of God

We are hid beneath His wings.

Lord and warrior is armed

With sceptre and rod

And triumph we see Him bring.

Refrain:

Build Your throne in our assembly

For we prepare Your habitation.

Pitch Your tent in our praise and glory

Build Your throne, O Lord.

O Jerusalem, declare:

“Who is your King?”

Elohim, dreaded and strong.

All dominions, the pow’rs,

Spirits of the air

Shall receive the full wrath of God.

Refrain:

Build Your throne in our assembly

For we prepare Your habitation.

Pitch Your tent in our praise and glory

Build Your throne, O Lord.

To end:

Build Your throne, build Your throne

Build Your throne, O Lord!

By Your steadfast love,

I will enter Your house.

I will worship You,

In Your holy temple,

And revere Your name,

As I bow before You,

Exalt in You, my Lord, my shield.

Alleluia (8x)
