Purify my heart,
Let me be as gold and precious silver.
Purify my heart,
Let me be as gold, pure gold.
Refrain:
Refiner's fire,
My heart's one desire is to be holy,
Set apart for You, Lord.
I choose to be holy,
Set apart for You, my Master
Ready to do Your will.
Purify my heart,
Cleanse me from within
And make me holy.
Purify my heart,
Cleanse me from my sin deep within.
Refrain:
Refiner's fire,
My heart's one desire is to be holy,
Set apart for You, Lord.
I choose to be holy,
Set apart for You, my Master
Ready to do Your will.
Refrain:
Renew us, O Lord.
Raise our hearts to You
And not be conformed
To the cares of this world.
Let us seek the glory of Your face
Here on earth.
Lord, You alone can satisfy us.
Lord, You alone can make us whole.
In Your mercy bring us to Yourself
Beholding Your face.
Return, O Israel.
Let us return to the Lord our God.
For we have stumbled in our iniquity
And fallen in our sin.
Take with you words. Cry unto Him:
"Receive us, O Lord.
Remove from us our guilt.
And we shall offer to You what is good
And never more shall say, 'Our God'
To the work our hands have made."
"I will love you freely," says the Lord,
"And I will heal you of your faithlessness
I will betroth you to me in righteousness
And in mercy and in steadfast love."
"For I will sow you as a fruitful field
And I will bless you as a growing tree.
And you shall prosper
As a well-watered garden
If you would but return to Me.
If you would but return to Me.
Return, return, O Israel."
To end:
Return, return, O Israel.
Return, return, O Israel.
Verse 1:
The Lord is gracious; He is merciful.
In my distress I called to Him, He rescued me.
Refrain:
Return, O my soul, to your rest,
Return, my soul,
For the Lord has been good to you.
Verse 2:
My soul He freed from death, my eyes from tears.
I shall walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
Verse 3:
How can I repay the Lord for all His goodness to me?
I will pay my vows to Him before His people.
Rise, O people, called to worship
Heaven's highest praise to share
Clothed by God in holy splendor
Joined by Jesus' priestly prayer.
Here and now we see but dimly
Then and there our eyes behold
Him whom we by faith now worship
Soon by sight to ever know.
Refrain:
You, O fount of life eternal
You, the source of endless joy
Face to face with love forever:
"Gloria!" will angels cry
"Glory!" will our hearts reply.
"Holy, holy, holy is the Lord!"
Lives we've offered brought before You
As all heaven's hosts adore
Pray'rs with heav'nly incense burning
Rise to shroud Your holy throne.
Countless saints
Robed white in splendor
Washed in blood of spotless Lamb
Never more to thirst or hunger
Ever more to understand.
Refrain:
You, O fount of life eternal
You, the source of endless joy
Face to face with love forever:
"Gloria!" will angels cry
"Glory!" will our hearts reply.
"Holy, holy, holy is the Lord!"
Ev'ry tear wiped by the Father
Every nation's tumult quelled
Roar of sea and crash of thunder
By His will creation stilled.
Heaven's hosts then awed to silence
At the Lamb enthroned above
Then will we the silence shatter
Worshipping the Face of love!
Refrain:
You, O fount of life eternal
You, the source of endless joy
Face to face with love forever:
"Gloria!" will angels cry
"Glory!" will our hearts reply.
"Holy, holy, holy is the Lord!"
Rise up, O men of God
Have done with lesser things.
Give heart and soul
And mind and strength
To serve the King of kings.
Rise up, O men of God
His Kingdom tarries long.
Bring in the day of brotherhood
And end the night of wrong.
Rise up, O men of God
The church for you doth wait.
Her strength unequal to her task
Rise up and make her great.
Lift high the cross of Christ!
Tread where His feet have trod.
As brothers of the Son of man,
Rise up, O men of God!
