Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father
There is no shadow of
turning with Thee
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail

Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy
great faithfulness, mercy and love
Chorus:
Great is Thy faithfulness (oh father)
Great is Thy
faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed
Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth (that endureth)
Thine own
dear presence to cheer and to guide (cheer and to guide)
Strength for
today and bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine, with ten
thousand beside
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chorus (with stepouts)

Lyrics:
Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer
That calls me from a
world of care
And bids me at my Father's throne
Make all my wants
and wishes known
In seasons of distress and grief
My soul has often
found relief
And oft escaped the tempter's snare
By thy return,
sweet hour of prayer
Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer
The joys I feel, the
bliss I share
Of those whose anxious spirits burn
With strong
desires for thy return
With such I hasten to the place
Where God my
Savior shows His face
And gladly take my station there
And wait for
thee, sweet hour of prayer
Sweet hour, sweet hour, sweet hour of prayer
Sweet hour, sweet hour
of prayer, sweet hour of prayer
Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer
Thy wings shall my
petition bear
To Him whose truth and faithfulness
Engage the waiting
soul to bless
And since He bids me seek His face
Believe His Word
and trust His grace, amazing grace
I'll cast on Him my every
care
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer
Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer

"Pray continually." 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Lyrics:
I heard an old, old story, how a Savior came from glory (how He gave
His life)
How He gave His life on Calvary to save a wretch like me
I
heard about His groaning, (of His blood's atoning) of His precious blood's
atoning
Then I repented (repented) of my sins (repented of my sins) and
won the victory
Chorus:
Oh victory in Jesus (victory in Jesus), my Savior (my
Savior) forever (forever)
He sought me and He bought me with His
redeeming blood (bought me with His blood)
He loved me 'ere I knew Him
and all my love is due Him
He plunged me to victory beneath the
cleansing flood
I heard about His healing, of His cleansing power revealing
How He
made the lame to walk again and caused the blind to see
And then I
cried, "Dear Jesus, come and heal my broken spirit"
I then obeyed His
blest command and gained the victory
Repeat Chorus
The flood...
I heard about a mansion He has built for me in glory
And I heard
about the street of gold beyond the crystal sea (beyond the crystal
sea)
About the angels singing (the angels are singing) and the old
redemption story
Oh and some sweet day I'll sing up there the song of
victory
Repeat Chorus (x2)
He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood
He plunged me
to victory beneath the cleansing flood
I've got a victory in Jesus
You've got a victory in Jesus

Lyrics:
Jesus, I want to be near the cross
Jesus keep me near the cross (Jesus keep me, Jesus keep me near the
cross)
There a precious fountain (There a fountain and it's
free)
Free to all, a healing stream (and it's free to all, it's a
healing stream)
Flows from Calvary's mountain (Calvary, and it flows
from Calvary)
In the cross, in the cross (oh, be my glory)
Be my glory ever (glory
ever, till my raptured soul)
Till my raptured soul shall find (I'm
gonna find it, gonna find rest beyond
Rest beyond the river (gonna find
it, I see it beyond the river)
Take a look can you see it?
It's just beyond the river
Near the cross I'll watch and wait (near the cross I'll watch for your
haste)
Hoping, trusting ever (I will see the hope, I'll always
trust)
Till I reach the golden strand (Till I reach, till I reach the
golden strand)
Just beyond the river
(I just wanna be)
In the cross, in the cross (I just wanna be,
oh)
Be my glory ever (gonna be, gonna be my glory)
Till my raptured
soul shall find (till my, till my soul shall find)
Rest beyond the
river (rest beyond the river)
Rest beyond the river
Keep me near the cross
I'll be watching, I'll be waiting

I'll be trusting near the cross
It's free to

It's a healing stream
Keep me near the
cross
