1. Unless our Sovereign builds the house,
The builders labor all in vain;
Unless Almighty God keeps watch,
All other guards keep watch in vain.
2. In vain we rise in morning’s light,
And labor long before we cease;
We eat the bread of anxious toil,
God labors while we rest in peace.
The Lord will fight for us,
And we will praise;
And as His kingdom comes,
We’ll stand amazed.
The Lord will fight for us,
Our strivings cease;
And while he labors on,
We rest in peace.
3. Our sons are God’s inheritance,
Our daughters are rewards of grace;
Like arrows in a warrior’s hand
Are children born in youthful days. (Chorus)
4. Bless’d is the one whose quiver brims
With arrows for the day of war;
They’ll never know defeat or shame,
But victory on Satan’s shore. (Chorus)

1. I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew
He moved my soul to seek him, seeking me;
It was not I that found, O Savior true;
It was not I, no, I was found of thee.
Not I, but Christ;
Not I, but Christ.
Thou art the seeker,
And I the found.
2. Thou didst reach forth thy hand and mine enfold;
I walked and sank not on the stormy sea;
’Twas not so much that I on thee took hold;
As thou, dear Lord, had taken hold of me. (Chorus)
3. What but such grace can woo my heart to love—
To worship thee and seek my neighbor’s best?
When in the end I reach the heav’ns above,
All was of grace that lifted me to rest. (Chorus)
Glory to God,
And to the Son,
And to the Spirit,
For I am found.
To God the glory,
For I am found.

1. Ride on, ride on in majesty!
Hear all the tribes hosanna cry!
O Savior meek, pursue your road
With palms and scattered garments stroked.
2. Ride on, ride on in majesty!
In lowly pomp ride on to die.
O Christ, your triumphs now begin
O’er captive death and conquered sin.
Ride on to die; ride on to die;
Then take, O Christ, your power and reign.
3. Ride on, ride on, in majesty!
The hosts of angels in the sky
Look down with sad and wondering eyes
To see th’approaching Sacrifice.
4. Ride on, ride on, in majesty!
Your last and fiercest strife is nigh.
The Father on his sapphire throne
Awaits his own anointed Son. (Chorus)
5. Ride on, ride on, in majesty!
In lowly pomp, ride on to die.
Bow your meek head to mortal pain,
Then take, O Christ, your power and reign. (Chorus)

1. When we see the risen Savior with the bread that he has blessed,
He becomes the living Servant, heav’nly food for holy rest.
Stay with us, for day is fading, feast with us, O secret King,
Show to us how Scripture’s story speaks of you in everything.
Do not our hearts burn now?
For you’re here in power.
2. Jesus, show yourself the Author and Perfecter of our faith,
In your living and your dying, consummation of God’s grace.
From creation to the exile, incarnation to the grave,
Resurrection to ascension; come, O Jesus, come to save.
Do not our hearts burn now?
For you’re here in power.
Open our eyes, shine on our sight,
O risen Lord, reigning on high;
Give us your life, bread from the skies;
Lift up our hearts, open our eyes.
3. You’re the Word that spoke creation, you’re the end of Moses’ Law,
You’re the goal of Abram’s blessing, you’re the King whom David saw;
You’re the Day the prophets longed for, you’re the covenant of grace,
You’re the hero of the Scriptures, now we see you face to face.
Do not our hearts burn now?
For you’re here in power. (Chorus)
4. Jesus, show yourself the Prophet, Jesus, show yourself the King,
Jesus, show yourself the Priest, all in all, and everything.

1. Light after darkness, gain after loss,
Strength after weakness, crown after cross;
Sweet after bitter, hope after fears,
Home after wandering, praise after tears.
2. Sheaves after sowing, sun after rain,
Sight after mystery, peace after pain;
Joy after sorrow, calm after blast,
Rest after weariness, sweet rest at last.
Weeping may remain for a night
But joy arrives in morning’s new light
I’ll praise the God of merciful plight
Still I will praise him, still I will praise him, my God.
3. Near after distant, gleam after gloom,
Love after loneliness, life after tomb;
After long agony, rapture of bliss,
Right was the pathway, leading to this.
You give and you take away
In darkness still I will say:
“A good God I serve this day.”
Still I will praise you, still I will praise you.

1. O God, you are my God,
Earnestly I seek you,
Ever fainting for you.
O God, you are my God,
In a barren wasteland,
Waterless and tasteless.
O God, I have looked on you;
O God, glory shining through.
O your love is better than life;
O your love is better than life.
I will praise you, I will bless you
As long as I live.
O your love is better than life;
O your love is better than life.
I will praise you, I will bless you
As long as I live.
2. O God, you are my God,
My fullest satisfaction,
My joyful adoration.
O God, you are my God,
My evening meditation,
My song in tribulation.
O God, my soul clings to you;
O God, your hand holds me through. (Chorus)
In your name, I will lift up my hands. (4X) (Chorus)
3. O God, you are my God,
The enemy that seeks me,
You’ll crush him underneath me.
O God, you are my God,
Your sword will ever guard me,
Your Word will ever guide me.
O God, as I joy in you,
O God, Satan can’t accuse. (Bridge) (Chorus)

1. Come, thou Almighty King, help us thy name to sing.
Help us to praise:
Father all glorious, o’er all victorious,
Come and reign over us, Ancient of Days.
2. Come, thou Incarnate Word, gird on thy mighty sword
Our prayers attend.
Come, and thy people bless, and give thy Word success
Spirit of holiness, on us descend.
3. Come, Holy Comforter, thy sacred witness bear
In this glad hour.
Thou, who almighty art, now rule in ev’ry heart,
And ne’er from us depart, Spirit of Pow’r.
Father, now call us out of our wandering.
Jesus, now come and cast out our fear.
Spirit, now preach the Son to our deafness:
Open our hearts, open our hearts.
4. To thee, great One in Three, eternal praises be
Hence evermore:
Thy sov’reign majesty may we in glory see,
And to eternity, love and adore.

1. My Savior left His throne above
Exchanged His wealth for poverty
He took my hate and gave His love
All this and more He did for me
Because He chose the lowly way
And bowed before His Father’s will
I can with all assurance say
My God is near and loves me still
My God is near and loves me still
2. He felt the storms of human pain
He felt temptation’s whelming seas
He felt the tears of sorrow’s rain
All this and more He felt for me
Because He knows my every strife
And is acquainted with my grief
I can’t be shaken in this life
The Friend of Sinners walks with me
The Friend of Sinners walks with me
3. He kept His Father’s every word
The Law He followed perfectly
So all God’s pleasure He secured
All this and more He earned for me
Because His righteous life is mine
And all His merits now I own
I am a child of God on high
I am adopted, loved, and known
I am adopted, loved, and known
4. When Jesus left His heavenly home
His face was set on Calvary
The steepest hill He climbed alone
All this and more He did for me
Because He died once for all time
And bore the curse of death and hell
Final forgiveness here is mine
So it is finished, all is well
Yes, it is finished, all is well
