HYMN: How Great Though Art
1. Oh Lord, my God
When I, in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed
2. Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
3. And when I think that God, His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin
4. Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
5. When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration
And then proclaim, my God, how great Thou art
6. Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
How great Thou art, how great Thou art

As Thou hast been Thou forever will be.

Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided—

Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

RECESSIONAL HYMN: When We All Get to Heaven
1. Sing the wondrous love of Jesus,
Sing His mercy and His grace;
In the mansions bright and blessed
He’ll prepare for us a place.
Refrain:
When we all get to heaven,
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
We’ll sing and shout the victory!
2. While we walk the pilgrim pathway,
Clouds will overspread the sky;
But when trav’ling days are over,
Not a shadow, not a sigh.
3. Let us then be true and faithful,
Trusting, serving every day;
Just one glimpse of Him in glory
Will the toils of life repay.
4. Onward to the prize before us!
Soon His beauty we’ll behold;

HYMN: It is Well With My Soul
When peace like a river attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot Thou hast taught me to say,
“It is well, it is well with my soul!”
It is well with my soul!
It is well, it is well with my soul!
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
My sin—oh, the bliss of this glorious thought—
My sin, not in part, but the whole,
Is nailed to His Cross, and I bear it no more;
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live;
If dark hours about me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.
CHORUSES
No Grave Can Hold My Body Down
No grave can hold my body down, No grave can hold my body down.
When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound,
And the dead in Christ shall rise;
No grave, can hold my body down.
Wont it be a time when we get over yonder
Wont it be a time when we get over yonder
Wont it be a time when we get over yonder
Wont it be a time when we get over yonder
Wont it be a time when we get over yonder
Oh wont it be a time
We’re gonna sing and shout and dance about
When we get over yonder
We’re gonna sing and shout and dance about
When we get over yonder
We’re gonna sing and shout and dance about
When we get over yonder
Oh wont it be a time
I’m Gonna To Walk Those Streets Of Glory
I’m gonna walk those streets of glory by and by
I’m gonna walk those streets of glory by and by
I’m gonna walk those streets of glory
I’m gonna sing redemption story
I’m gonna walk those streets of glory by and by.
