Come, Christians, join to sing,
Alleluia, Amen!
Loud praise to Christ our King,
Alleluia, Amen!
Let all with heart and voice
Before his throne rejoice;
Praise is his gracious choice;
Alleluia, Amen!
Come, lift your hearts on high;
Alleluia, Amen!
Let praises fill the sky;
Alleluia, Amen!

To us he'll condescend;

On Heaven's blissful shore
His goodness we'll adore,
Singing forever more,
Alleluia, Amen!

Holy God
Holy and mighty
Holy Immortal One
Have mercy, have mercy on us
Song: Heal Us Emmanuel
CHORUS
Heal us, Emmanuel, here we are
We long to feel Thy touch
Deep wounded souls to Thee we fly
O Savior hear our cry
Our faith is feeble, we confess
We faintly trust Thy word
But will You pity us the less?
Be that far from You Lord!
CHORUS
Remember him who once applied
With trembling for relief
“Lord, I believe,” with tears he cried
“O help my unbelief!"
CHORUS
She, too, who touched you in the press
And healing virtue stole
Was answered, “Daughter, go in peace
Thy faith has made thee whole.”
CHORUS
Like her, with hopes and fears we come
To touch You if we may
O send us not despairing home
Send none unhealed away

Song: Power in the Blood
Would you be free from the burden of sin?
There’s pow’r in the blood,
Pow’r in the blood
Would you o’er evil a victory win?
There’s wonderful pow’r in the blood
CHORUS
There is pow’r, pow’r, wonder-working pow’r
In the blood of the Lamb
There is pow’r pow’r, wonder-working pow’r
In the precious blood of the Lamb
Would you be free from your passion and pride?
There’s pow’r in the blood, pow’r in the blood;
Come for a cleansing to Calvary’s tide;
There’s wonderful pow’r in the blood.
CHORUS
Would you be whiter, much whiter than snow?There’s pow’r in the blood, pow’r in the blood;
Sin stains are lost in its life giving flow;
There’s wonderful pow’r in the blood.
CHORUS
Would you do service for Jesus your King?
There’s pow’r in the blood, pow’r in the blood;
Would you live daily His praises to sing?
There’s wonderful pow’r in the blood.

Song: A Mighty Fortress is Our God
A Mighty fortress is our God
A Bulwark never failing
Our Helper He amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing
For still our ancient Foe
Doth seek to work us woe
His craft and pow’r are great
And armed with cruel hate
On earth is not his equal
Did we in our own strength confide
Our striving would be losing
Were not the right man on our side
The man of God’s own choosing
Dost ask who that may be
Christ Jesus it is He
Lord Sabbaoth His name
From age to age the same
And He must win the battle
And though this world with Devils filled
Should threaten to undo us
We will not fear for God has willed
His truth to triumph through us
The Prince of darkness grim
We tremble not for him
His rage we can endure
For lo his doom is sure
One little word shall fell him
That Word above all earthly pow’r
No thanks to them abideth
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through HIm who with us sideth
Let goods and kindred go
This mortal life also
The body they may kill
God’s truth abideth still
His kingdom is forever
