Jerusalem, Jerusalem above!
In you dwells all my hope,
My joy, my life, my love.
This life is exile
And I'm just passing through,
Holding within my heart
The highways home to you.
Refrain:
If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
Let my right hand wither,
Let my tongue cleave to my mouth,
Let my soul perish, let me be destroyed
Unless Jerusalem
Remain my highest joy.
O Lord, how lovely
Is Your dwelling place
And how I long to come
And see You face to face.
My soul is thirsting
In this dry and weary land
And I will always thirst
Till in Your courts I stand.
Refrain:
If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
Let my right hand wither,
Let my tongue cleave to my mouth,
Let my soul perish, let me be destroyed
Unless Jerusalem
Remain my highest joy.
Jerusalem the golden
With milk and honey blest
Beneath thy contemplation
Sink heart and voice opprest.
I know not, O I know not
What abundant joys are there
What radiancy of glory
What light beyond compare!
They stand, those walls of Zion,
All jubilant with song
And bright with many an angel
And all the martyr throng.
The Prince is ever in them
The daylight is serene
The pastures of the blessed
Are decked in glorious sheen.
There is the throne of David
And there from care released
The song of them that triumph
The shout of them that feast.
And they who with their Leader
Have conquered in the fight
Forever and forever
Are clad in robes of white.
O sweet and blessed country,
Shall I e'er see thy face?
O sweet and blessed country,
Shall I e'er win thy grace?
Exult, O dust and ashes,
The Lord shall be thy part!
His only, His forever,
Thou shalt be and thou art.
Coda:
Exult, O dust and ashes,
The Lord shall be thy part!
His only, his forever
Thou shalt be and thou art.
Jesus Christ is ris'n today, Alleluia!
Our triumphant holy day, Alleluia!
Who did once upon the cross, Alleluia!
Suffer to redeem our loss, Alleluia!
Hymns of praise then let us sing, Alleluia!
Unto Christ, our heav'nly king, Alleluia!
Who endured the cross and grave, Alleluia!
Sinners to redeem and save, Alleluia!
But the gains which He endured, Alleluia!
Our salvation have procured, Alleluia!
Now above the sky He's King, Alleluia!
Where the angels ever sing, Alleluia!
Sing we to our God above, Alleluia!
Praise eternal as His love, Alleluia!
Praise Him, all ye heav'nly host, Alleluia!
Father, Son and Holy Ghost, Alleluia!
Beautiful, beautiful, Jesus is beautiful.
Jesus makes beautiful things of my life.
Carefully touching me
Causing my eyes to see
That Jesus makes beautiful things
Of my life.
All glory to the Father of life,
Praise be to the Holy Spirit,
And to the shining light of this world,
Jesus is the One who saves.
You're the first-born of all of the sons,
King of the new creation.
You're the brother who makes us all one,
Jesus is the One who saves.
Thank you, Jesus, for rising for us,
The Father's love complete and glorious.
Now we claim the vict'ry You give to us
Jesus is the One who saves.
Just call upon the name of the Lord,
Ask Him for His Holy Spirit.
You'll find the one truth of this world:
Jesus is the One who saves.
Jesus is the One who saves.
Jesus is the One who saves.
Jesus, Jesus, You are the Christ,
God's Anointed Son.
Jesus, Jesus, You are Messiah,
The Savior who has come.
Flesh and blood did not
Reveal this to me
But my Father in heaven
Opened my eyes, now I can see that
Jesus, Jesus,
Jesus, you're the One.
Join with us
And let us go to His dwelling place
Beyond the veil where we see His face
Where we are lifted in holy praise.
We worship Him.
Behold such beauty and worship Him.
The gates of heaven resound within
For we were made for
This glorious grace.
Refrain:
Every heart cries "Holy!"
Every knee bends low.
Always steadfast, ever faithful,
How Your love endures!
Face to face with glory
That no eye has seen:
"We become like Him
Whom we behold."
Beholding You!
We sing to You,
Our lives surrendered as offerings,
Our faith in You as the gift we bring.
The veil is lifted before Your throne.
We come to You,
Conformed to You in Your lowliness,
Transformed by You in Your holiness.
We rise from glory to glory, Lord!
Refrain:
Every heart cries "Holy!"
Every knee bends low.
Always steadfast, ever faithful,
How Your love endures!
Face to face with glory
That no eye has seen:
"We become like Him
Whom we behold."
Beholding You!
Joy of my desire, all consuming fire
Lord of glory, rose of Sharon
Rare and sweet.
You are now my peace,
Comforter and friend,
Wonderful, so beautiful You are to me.
I worship You, in Spirit and in truth.
I worship You, in Spirit and in truth.
There will never be a friend
As dear to me as You.
