VERSE 1
To God be the glory,
Great things
He has done,
So loved He the world
That He gave us His Son;
Who yielded His life,
An atonement for sin,
And opened the life-gate
That all may go in.
CHORUS
Oh, praise the Lord,
Let the earth
Hear His voice,
Oh, praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice;
Oh, come to the Father
Through Jesus His Son,
And give Him thе glory,
Great things
He has done!
REFRAIN
Praise the Lord!
(Praisе the Lord!)
Praise the Lord!
(Praisе the Lord!)
To God be the glory!
VERSE 2
Oh, perfect redemption,
The purchase of blood,
To every believer,
The promise of God;
The vilest offender
Who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus,
A pardon receives.
CHORUS
Oh, praise the Lord,
Let the earth
Hear His voice,
Oh, praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice;
Oh, come to the Father
Through Jesus His Son,
And give Him thе glory,
Great things
He has done!
REFRAIN (2X)
Praise the Lord!
(Praisе the Lord!)
Praise the Lord!
(Praisе the Lord!)
To God be the glory!
VERSE 3
Great things
He has taught us,
Great things
He has done;
And great our rejoicing
Through Jesus the Son.
But purer, and higher,
And greater will be,
Our wonder,
Our transport,
When Jesus we see.
REFRAIN
Praise the Lord!
(Praisе the Lord!)
Praise the Lord!
(Praisе the Lord!)
To God be the glory!
CHORUS (2X)
Oh, praise the Lord,
Let the earth
Hear His voice,
Oh, praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice;
Oh, come to the Father
Through Jesus His Son,
And give Him thе glory,
Great things
He has done!
REFRAIN (2X)
Praise the Lord!
(Praisе the Lord!)
Praise the Lord!

To God be the glory!

VERSE 1
What wonder
Of wonders,
What love is this,
That Christ
Would die for me?;
His goodness, His merit,
His righteousness,
This sinner’s only plea.
O foolish pride,
Be crucified,
The work is finished!
CHORUS 1
All my boast is in Jesus,
All my hope is His love;
And I will glory forever
In what the cross
Has done!
VERSE 2
Now fully forgiven,
My life is filled
With graces undeserved;
For mercy
That flowed down
That sacred hill,
Let praises now return.
Rise up my soul
And bless the Lord,
Who else is worthy?
CHORUS 1
All my boast is in Jesus,
All my hope is His love;
And I will glory forever
In what the cross
Has done.
BRIDGE (2X)
O praise the One,
Forever blessed,
Him alone
My heart adores;
And I will boast
In nothing less
Than the Love
Of Christ my Lord.
VERSE 3
I boast not in riches,
In strength or might,
But in the grace of God;
I glory in weakness,
To live is Christ,
In plenty or in want.
That I may know,
That all may see,
His pow’r within me.
CHORUS 1
All my boast is in Jesus,
All my hope is His love,
And I will glory forever
In what the cross
Has done.
CHORUS 2
Now I stand
In His freedom,
Ransomed clean
In His sight;
And I cannot
Be ashamed for
My boast is Jesus Christ.
My boast is Jesus Christ.
Forever, my boast
Is Jesus Christ!
MATTHEW 28:16-20
A Gospel liturgy that declares the fullness of God in Christ, the need of the world for salvation, the exaltation of Jesus, and our response to believe and obey.
16 Now the eleven
disciples
went to Galilee,
to the mountain to which
Jesus had directed them.
17 And when
they saw him
they worshiped him,
but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came
and said to them,
“All authority
in heaven and on earth
has been given to me.
19 Go therefore
and make disciples
of all nations,
baptizing them
in the name of
the Father
and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit,
20 Teaching them
to observe
all that I have
commanded you.
And behold,
I am with you always,
to the end of the age.”
HIS MERCY IS MORE

VERSE 1
What love
could remember,
No wrongs
we have done?
Omniscient, all knowing,
He counts not their sum.
Thrown into a sea
Without bottom or shore;
Our sins they are many,
His mercy is more!
CHORUS
Praise the Lord!
His mercy is more!
Stronger than darkness,
New every morn;
Our sins they are many,
His mercy is more!
VERSE 2
What patience
Would wait
As we constantly roam?
What father, so tender,
Is calling us home?
He welcomes
The weakest,
The vilest, the poor;
Our sins they are many,
His mercy is more!
CHORUS
Praise the Lord!
His mercy is more!
Stronger than darkness,
New every morn;
Our sins they are many,
His mercy is more!
VERSE 3
What riches of kindness
He lavished on us
His blood was
The payment,
His life was the cost;
We stood 'neath a debt
We could never afford;
Our sins they are many,
His mercy is more!
CHORUS (2X)
Praise the Lord!
His mercy is more!
Stronger than darkness,
New every morn;
Our sins they are many,
His mercy is more!
Our sins they are many,
His mercy is more!
Our sins they are many,
His mercy is more!

VERSE 1
What is our hope
In life and death?
Christ alone!
Christ alone!
What is our only
Confidence?
That our souls
To Him belong.
Who holds our days
Within His hand?
What comes, apart
From His command?
And what will keep us
To the end?
The love of Christ
In which we stand.
CHORUS
O Sing, Hallelujah!
Our hope springs
Eternal,
O Sing, Hallelujah!
Now and ever
We confess,
Christ our hope
In life and death!
VERSE 2
What truth can calm
The troubled soul?
God is good;
God is good.
Where is His grace
And goodness known?
In our great
Redeemer's blood.
Who holds our faith
When fears arise?
Who stands above
The stormy trial?
Who sends the waves
That bring us nigh?
Unto the shore,
The rock of Christ!
CHORUS
O Sing, Hallelujah!
Our hope springs
Eternal,
O Sing, Hallelujah!
Now and ever
We confess,
Christ our hope
In life and death!
VERSE 3
Unto the grave,
What shall we sing?
Christ, He lives!
Christ, He lives!
And what reward
Will heaven bring?
Everlasting life with Him.
There we will rise
To meet the Lord,
Then sin and death
Will be destroyed;
And we will feast
In endless joy,
When Christ is ours
Forevermore!
CHORUS
O Sing, Hallelujah!
Our hope springs
Eternal.
O Sing, Hallelujah!
Now and ever
We confess
Christ our hope
In life and death!
ENDING
Now and ever
We confess,
Christ our hope
In life and death!
IN CHRIST ALONE

VERSE 1
In Christ alone
My hope is found,
He is my light
My strength, my song.
This Cornerstone,
This Solid Ground,
Firm through the fiercest
Drought and storm.
What heights of love!
What depths of peace!
When fears are stilled
When strivings cease.
My Comforter,
My All in All,
Here in the love
Of Christ I stand.
VERSE 2
In Christ alone
Who took on flesh,
Fullness of God
In helpless babe.
This gift of love
And righteousness,
Scorned by the ones
He came to save.
Till on that cross,
As Jesus died,
The wrath of God
Was satisfied;
For every sin
On Him was laid,
Here in the death
Of Christ I live.
VERSE 3
There in the ground
His body lay,
Light of the world
By darkness slain.
Then bursting forth
In glorious Day,
Up from the grave
He rose again.
And as He stands
In victory,
Sin's curse has lost
Its grip on me;
For I am His
And He is mine,
Bought with the precious
Blood of Christ.
VERSE 4
No guilt in life,
No fear in death,
This is the power
Of Christ in me.
From life's first cry
To final breath
Jesus commands
My destiny.
No power of hell,
No scheme of man,
Can ever pluck
Me from His hand;
Till He returns,
Or calls me home,
Here in the power
Of Christ I'll stand.
TAG
Till He returns,
Or calls me home,
Here in the power
Of Christ I'll stand.
