Blessed is he who delights

In the law of the Lord.

But whose delight is the law of the Lord

And who ponders his law day and night.

Beside the flowing waters,

And night unto night makes known the message.

Yet their span goes forth through all the earth.

Their words to the utmost bounds of the world.

It comes forth like a bride-groom

Coming from his tent

Rejoices like a champion to run its course.

At the end of the sky is the rising of the sun;

To the furthest end of the sky is its course;

There is nothing concealed

From its burning heat.

But, when thy kingdom first began

On earth, thy kingdom was a home,

A child, a woman, and a man.

O blessed Jesus, Holiest One

The center and the fount of love,

A child, a woman, and a man,

Imaging that sweet Trinity

The brooding spirit of thy Dove

HOW GREAT IS YOUR NAME

 

VERSE 1

How great is your name for

Those who can see

Where it’s written all over the sky

Where the stars sing their praise

Spell your name many ways

Or the eagle that fly with

The clouds on high

While the mountains declare:

“I am Lord everywhere

In the wide restless sea that

Is shouting of me.’’

 

VERSE 2

How clear is your voice for

Those who will stop

To hear what you have to say

It is heard in the breeze

As it rustles the leaves

Or the raindrops that spray

On a gray stormy day

But the heart hears it best

When the mind is at rest

And the stubbornest will is

Surrendered and still.

 

VERSE 3

How lovely your face for

Those who will see

Where it’s found on earth

Everywhere in the glance of a child

Or a mother so mild

In a sinner’s despair or a

Saint that’s in prayer

In every person that we

Meet in a crowded city street

We can see where your face

Is in the whole human race

I WILL SING, I WILL SING

 

VERSE 1

I will sing, I will sing a song

Unto the Lord (3X)

Reap in joy (3X)

And ev’ry tongue confess (3X)

That Jesus Christ is Lord.

In His name, in His name,

We have the victory (3X)

Alleluia, glory to the Lord

PRAISE THE HOLY OF HOLIES

Fields full of flowers and

Woods full of pine

And the waters clear and blue

Every bird who is winging

Through the sky overhead

Lift our hearts to thoughts of

You God of hosts

They Lift our hearts to you.

 

CHORUS

All of heavens and all of the earth

Will praise the Holy of holies.
