Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me

Author: Augustus M. Toplady Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2,910 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 5:6 Lyrics: 1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee; let the water and the blood, from thy wounded side which flowed, be of sin the double cure, save from wrath and make me pure. 2 Not the labors of my hands can fulfill thy law's demands; could my zeal no respite know, could my tears forever flow, all for sin could not atone; thou must save and thou alone. 3 Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to the cross I cling; naked, come to thee for dress, helpless, look to thee for grace; foul, I to the fountain fly, wash me, Savior, or I die! 4 While I draw this fleeting breath, when my eyes shall close in death, when I soar to worlds unknown, see thee on thy judgment throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee.

Oh, glorious victory That overcomes the world. 2. His banner over us is love, Our sword the Word of God; We tread the road the saints above With shouts of triumph trod. By faith they, like a whirlwind's breath, Swept on o'er ev'ry field; The faith by which they conquered death Is still our shining shield. Faith is the victory! Faith is the victory! Oh, glorious victory That overcomes the world. 3. To him who overcomes the foe White raiment shall be giv'n; Before the angels he shall know His name confessed in heav'n. Then onward from the hills of light, Our hearts with love aflame; We'll vanquish all the hosts of night, In Jesus' conq'ring name. Faith is the victory! Faith is the victory! Oh, glorious victory That overcomes the world. Used With Tune: SANKEY

Nor let our voices cease To sing the Savior's name; Jesus, th' ambassador of peace, How cheerfully he came! It cost him cries and tears To bring us near to God; Great was our debt, and he appears To make the payment good.] [My Savior's pierced side Poured out a double flood; By water we are purified, And pardoned by the blood. Infinite was our guilt, But he, our Priest, atones; On the cold ground his life was spilt, And offered with his groans.] Look up, my soul, to him Whose death was thy desert, And humbly view the living stream Flow from his breaking heart. There, on the cursed tree, In dying pangs he lies, Fulfils his Father's great decree, And all our wants supplies. Thus the Redeemer came By water and by blood; And when the Spirit speaks the same, We feel his witness good. While the eternal Three Bear their record above, Here I believe he died for me, And seal my Savior's love. [Lord, cleanse my soul from sin Nor let thy grace depart; Great Comforter, abide within, And witness to my heart.]

Lift Every Voice and Sing

Author: James Weldon Johnson, 1871-1938 Meter: Irregular Appears in 48 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 5:4 Lyrics: 1 Lift every voice and sing, Till earth and heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of liberty; Let our rejoicing rise High as the listening skies, Let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us, Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; Facing the rising sun Of our new day begun, Let us march on till victory is won. 2 Stony the road we trod, Bitter the chastening rod, Felt in the days when hope unborn had died; Yet with a steady beat, Have not our weary feet Come to the place for which our fathers sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has been watered, We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered; Out from the gloomy past, Till now we stand at last Where the bright gleam of our bright star is cast. 3 God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way; Thou who hast by Thy might, Led us into the light, Keep us forever in the path, we pray. Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee, Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee; Shadowed beneath Thy hand, May we forever stand, True to our God, True to our native land. Topics: Kingdom of God on Earth Patriotic; Brotherhood; Faith; National; Opening Used With Tune: LIFT EVERY VOICE

Lyrics: 1 When the hosts of Israel, led by God, Round the walls of Jericho softly trod, Trusting in the Lord, they felt the conqu’ror’s tread, By faith they saw the victory ahead. Refrain: Victory ahead! Victory ahead! Through the blood of Jesus, victory ahead; Trusting in the Lord, I hear the conqu’ror’s tread, By faith I see the victory ahead! 2 David with a shepherd’s sling and five stones, Met the giant on the field all alone, Trusting in the Lord, he knew what God had said, By faith he saw the victory ahead. [Refrain] 3 Daniel prayed unto the Lord thrice each day, Then unto the lion’s den led the way, Trusting in the Lord, he did not fear or dread, By faith he saw the victory ahead. [Refrain] 4 Often with the carnal mind I was tried, Asking for deliverance oft I cried, Trusting in the Lord, I reckoned I was dead, By faith I saw the victory ahead. [Refrain] 5 When like those who’ve gone before to that land, By death’s river cold and dark I shall stand; Trusting in the Lord, I will not fear or dread, By faith I see the victory ahead.
