Easter Praise Wednesday 31 March 2021

Come on and celebrate!
His gift of love we will celebrate –
the Son of God, who loved us
and gave us life.

We’ll shout Your praise, O King:
You give us joy nothing else can bring;
we’ll give to You our offering
in celebration praise.

Come on and celebrate, celebrate,
celebrate and sing,
celebrate and sing to the King:
Come on and celebrate, celebrate,
celebrate and sing,
celebrate and sing to the King!

There is a green hill far away
without a city wall,
where the dear Lord was crucified,
who died to save us all.

We may not know, we cannot tell
what pains He had to bear;
but we believe it was for us
He hung and suffered there.

He died that we might be forgiven,
He died to make us good,
that we might go at last to heaven,
saved by His precious blood.

There was no other good enough
to pay the price of sin;
He only could unlock the gate
of heaven, and let us in.

O dearly, dearly has He loved,
and we must love Him too,
and trust in His redeeming blood,
and try His works to do.

Meekness and majesty,
manhood and deity,
in perfect harmony,
the man who is God:
Lord of eternity
dwells in humanity,
kneels in humility
and washes our feet.

O what a mystery,
meekness and majesty:
bow down and worship,
for this is your God,
this is your God!

Father’s pure radiance,
perfect in innocence,
yet learns obedience
to death on a cross:
suffering to give us life,
conquering through sacrifice;
and, as they crucify,
prays, ‘Father, forgive.’

O what a mystery,
meekness and majesty:
bow down and worship,
for this is your God,
this is your God!

Wisdom unsearchable,
God the invisible,
Love indestructible
in frailty appears.
Lord of infinity;
stooping so tenderly,
lifts our humanity
to the heights of His throne.

O what a mystery,
meekness and majesty:
bow down and worship,
for this is your God,
this is your God!

When I survey the wondrous cross
on which the Prince of glory died,
my richest gain I count but loss,
and pour contempt on all my pride.

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
save in the death of Christ my God:
all the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.

See from His head, His hands, His feet,
sorrow and love flow mingled down:
did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
or thorns compose so rich a crown?

Were the whole realm of nature mine,
that were an offering far too small,
love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all.

All heaven declares
the glory of the risen Lord;
who can compare
with the beauty of the Lord?
For ever He will be
the Lamb upon the throne;
I gladly bow the knee,
and worship Him alone.

I will proclaim
the glory of the risen Lord,
who once was slain
to reconcile man to God.
For ever You will be
the Lamb upon the throne;
I gladly bow the knee,
and worship You alone.

There is a Redeemer,
Jesus, God’s own Son,
precious Lamb of God, Messiah,
Holy One.

Thank You, O my Father,
for giving us Your Son,
and leaving Your Spirit
till the work on earth is done.

Jesus, my Redeemer,
name above all names,
precious Lamb of God, Messiah,
O for sinners slain:
Thank You ...

Thank You, O my Father,
for giving us Your Son,
and leaving Your Spirit
till the work on earth is done.

When I stand in glory
I will see His face,
and there I’ll serve my King for ever
in that holy place
Thank you….

Thank You, O my Father,
for giving us Your Son,
and leaving Your Spirit
till the work on earth is done.

To God be the glory!
great things He hath done;
so loved He the world
that He gave us His Son;
who yielded His life
an atonement for sin,
and opened the life gate
that all may go in.

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord!
let the earth hear His voice;
praise the Lord, praise the Lord!
let the people rejoice:
O come to the Father,
through Jesus the Son
and give Him the glory;
great things He hath done!

O perfect redemption,
the purchase of blood!
to every believer the promise of God;
the vilest offender who truly believes,
that moment from Jesus
a pardon receives.
Praise the Lord ...

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord!
let the earth hear His voice;
praise the Lord, praise the Lord!
let the people rejoice:
O come to the Father,
through Jesus the Son
and give Him the glory;
great things He hath done!

Great things He hath taught us,
great things He hath done,
and great our rejoicing
through Jesus the Son;
but purer, and higher,
and greater will be
our wonder, our rapture,
when Jesus we see.

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord!
let the earth hear His voice;
praise the Lord, praise the Lord!
let the people rejoice:
O come to the Father,
through Jesus the Son
and give Him the glory;
great things He hath done!
