O Zion Haste

O Zion Haste


Bb
O Zion, haste, thy mission high fulfilling,
Eb         Bb      F                 Bb
To tell to all the world that God is light,
                     D                 Gm
That He who made all nations is not willing
C7              F       Bb      C         F
One soul should perish, lost in shades of night.


Chorus:
  F7         Bb       F          Bb7
Publish glad tidings, tidings of peace;
  G        C C7     Bb       F7    Bb
Tidings of Jesus, redemption and release.


Behold how many thousands still are lying
Bound in the darksome prison house of sin,
With none to tell them of the Saviour’s dying,
Or of the life He died for them to win.

Chorus

Proclaim to every people, tongue, and nation
That God, in Whom they live and move, is love;
Tell how He stooped to save His lost creation,
And died on earth that we might live above.

Chorus

’Tis thine to save from peril of perdition
The souls for whom the Lord His life laid down:
Beware lest, slothful to fulfill thy mission,
Thou lose one jewel that should deck His crown.

Chorus

Give of thy sons to bear the message glorious;
Give of thy wealth to speed them on their way;
Pour out thy soul for them in prayer victorious;
O Zion, haste to bring the brighter day.

Chorus

He comes again! O Zion, ere thou meet Him,
Make known to every heart His saving grace:
Let none whom he Hath ransomed fail to greet Him,
Through thy neglect, unfit to see His face.

O Worship the King

O Worship the King


  G       D   G         D7       G D7
O worship the King, all glorious above,
  G       D  G    C   G         D7  G
O gratefully sing His power and His love;
       D       A7 D7     G     D     G  D7
Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,
G          D  G          C   G      D7    G
Pavilioned in splendour, and girded with praise.


O tell of His might, O sing of His grace,
Whose robe is the light, Whose canopy space,
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.

The earth with its store of wonders untold,
Almighty, Thy power hath founded of old;
Established it fast by a changeless decree,
And round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea.

Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.

Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail;
Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end,
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.

O measureless might! Ineffable love!
While angels delight to worship Thee above,
The humbler creation, though feeble their lays,
With true adoration shall all sing Thy praise.

O Word of God Incarnate

O Word of God Incarnate



  E    A  B     E                 B       E
O Word of God incarnate, O Wisdom from on high,
        A B          G#       C#m E    A  B   B7   E
O Truth unchanged, unchanging, O Light of our dark sky:
B7        C#  F#m     C#m      F#m  C#m         F#7   B7
We praise You for the radiance that from the hallowed page,
  E       E7     A          E      A       B7     E
A Lantern to our footsteps, shines on from age to age.

The Church from You, our Saviour, received the Gift divine,
And still that Light is lifted over all the earth to shine.
It is the sacred Vessel where gems of truth are stored;
It is the heaven drawn Picture of Christ, the living Word.

The Scripture is a banner before God’s host unfurled;
It is a shining Beacon above the darkling world.
It is the Chart and Compass that over life’s surging tide,
Mid mists and rocks and quicksands, to You, O Christ, will guide.

O make your Church, dear Saviour, a lamp of purest gold,
To bear before the nations Your true light as of old.
O teach your wandering pilgrims by this their path to trace,
Till, clouds and darkness ended, they see You face to face.

O Sacred Head Now Wounded

O Sacred Head Now Wounded


   Am     Dm       G    E
Oh sacred head now wounded
     Am        E7            Am
With grief and shame weighed down
     Dm    G       E7
How scornfully surrounded
     Am     E7         Am
With thorns Thine only crown!
   G7               C
Oh sacred head what glory
     Am         Dm      A7
What bliss 'til now was Thine
D7  G       D7          Em
Yet though despised and lowly
   Dm     G7       C
I joy to call Thee mine

What Thou my Lord has suffered
Was all for sinner's gain
Mine, mine was the transgression,
But Thine the deadly pain.
Lo, here I fall, my Savior!
'Tis I deserve Thy place;
Look on me with Thy favor,
Vouchsafe to me Thy grace.

What language shall I borrow
To thank Thee, dearest friend,
For this Thy dying sorrow,
Thy pity without end?
O make me Thine forever,
And should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never,
Never outlive my love to Thee.

Am F C   Dm    C   F   G C
O sacred Head, now wounded,
E    Am        E7            Am
With grief and shame weighed down,
    F    C Dm  C  F   G C E    Am
Now scornfully surrounded with thorns,
      E7    Am
Thine only crown;
    Dm   Em   F   G    F  C
How pale Thou art with anguish,
C7   F    A7 Dm      A
With sore abuse and scorn!
D7    G  D    C   G  C  D7 G
How does that visage languish,
C     F    C   F      G  C
Which once was bright as morn!


What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered,
Was all for sinners’ gain;
Mine, mine was the transgression,
But Thine the deadly pain.
Lo, here I fall, my Saviour!
’Tis I deserve Thy place;
Look on me with Thy favour,
Vouchsafe to me Thy grace.

Men mock and taunt and jeer Thee,
Thou noble countenance,
Though mighty worlds shall fear Thee
And flee before Thy glance.
How art thou pale with anguish,
With sore abuse and scorn!
How doth Thy visage languish
That once was bright as morn!

Now from Thy cheeks has vanished
Their color once so fair;
From Thy red lips is banished
The splendor that was there.
Grim death, with cruel rigor,
Hath robbed Thee of Thy life;
Thus Thou hast lost Thy vigor,
Thy strength in this sad strife.

My burden in Thy Passion, Lord,
Thou hast borne for me,
For it was my transgression
Which brought this woe on Thee.
I cast me down before Thee,
Wrath were my rightful lot;
Have mercy, I implore Thee;
Redeemer, spurn me not!

What language shall I borrow
To thank Thee, dearest friend,
For this Thy dying sorrow,
Thy pity without end?
O make me Thine forever,
And should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never,
Never outlive my love to Thee.

My Shepherd, now receive me;
My Guardian, own me Thine.
Great blessings Thou didst give me,
O source of gifts divine.
Thy lips have often fed me
With words of truth and love;
Thy Spirit oft hath led me
To heavenly joys above.

Here I will stand beside Thee,
From Thee I will not part;
O Saviour, do not chide me!
When breaks Thy loving heart,
When soul and body languish
In death’s cold, cruel grasp,
Then, in Thy deepest anguish,
Thee in mine arms I’ll clasp.

The joy can never be spoken,
Above all joys beside,
When in Thy body broken
I thus with safety hide.
O Lord of Life, desiring
Thy glory now to see,
Beside Thy cross expiring,
I’d breathe my soul to Thee.

My Saviour, be Thou near me
When death is at my door;
Then let Thy presence cheer me,
Forsake me nevermore!
When soul and body languish,
Oh, leave me not alone,
But take away mine anguish
By virtue of Thine own!

Be Thou my consolation,
My shield when I must die;
Remind me of Thy passion
When my last hour draws nigh.
Mine eyes shall then behold Thee,
Upon Thy cross shall dwell,
My heart by faith enfolds Thee.
Who dieth thus dies well.

Onward Christian Soldiers

Onward Christian Soldiers



G                D         D7             G
Onward Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
                  Em D  A7       D
With the cross of Jesus going on before!
D7               G                         C
Christ the royal Master, leads against the foe;
             Am   C   Am  C       Am     D
Forward into battle, see His banner go!


Chorus:

G                D
Onward Christian soldiers,
D7             G
Marching as to war,
         C        G  Em
With the cross of Jesus
C     D    G
Going on before!


At the sign of triumph Satan’s host doth flee;
On then, Christian soldiers, on to victory.
Hell’s foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.


Like a mighty army moves the Church of God;
Brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod.
We are not divided, all one body we;
One in hope and doctrine, one in charity.


Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdoms rise and wane,
But the Church of Jesus constant will remain.
Gates of hell can never gainst that Church prevail;
We have Christ’s own promise and that cannot fail.


Onward, then, ye people, join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices in the triumph song.
Glory, laud, and honour unto Christ the King;
This through countless ages men and angels sing.

On the Jericho Road..... will you answer His call.

No more and no less,..... just Jesus and you;
Each burden He'll bear,..... each sorrow He'll share.

The Only Thing That Matters

The Only Thing That Matters


Capo 1st fret  (Intro A D A D A E A D E)

     A
Some people save their money
                             E
For the hard times that's to come

Planning for the future
                       A
Of their daughters and sons

But when life down here on earth is through
                          D
And we face the judgement throne
    E
The only thing that matters
                       A
Is if to Him your soul belongs

Chorus:
    D                          A
The only thing that matters if you've been born again
        D                           A                E
Has the blood been applied, are you forgiven of your sins
            A                                                D
And when He opens up the Book of Life and into your heart He stares
    E                                                  A      (E A D A E)
the only thing that matters is if your name is written there

In this modern age we live in
Many seek for worldly gain
They lay up earthly treasures
And live for wealth and fame
But if they would only realise
When you die it's all in vain
The only thing that matters
Is if He knows your name

In Thy glorious name.

Claim this life for Thine own, to be used,
My Savior, ev'ry moment for Thee.

He enters all rooms, "the doors being shut,"
He never forsakes, He never is gone;
So count His presence in darkness and dawn.

On Jordan's Stormy Banks


   E               B7
On Jordan’s stormy banks I stand,
    E              B7
And cast a wishful eye

To Canaan’s fair and happy land,

Where my possessions lie.

Sweet fields arrayed in living green,
And rivers of delight!

There generous fruits that never fail,
On trees immortal grow;
There rocks and hills, and brooks and vales,
With milk and honey flow.

O’er all those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day;
There God the Son forever reigns,
And scatters night away.

No chilling winds or poisonous breath
Can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more.

When I shall reach that happy place,
I’ll be forever blest,
For I shall see my Father’s face,
And in His bosom rest.

Chorus

Filled with delight my raptured soul
Would here no longer stay;
Though Jordan’s waves around me roll,
Fearless I’d launch away.
