1. What shall I do, my God to love,My loving God to praise!The length, and breadth, and height to proveAnd depth of sovereign grace?

2. Thy sovereign grace to all extends,Immense and unconfined;From age to age it never ends,It reaches all mankind.

3. Throughout the world its breadth is known,Wide as infinity,So wide it never passed by one;Or it had passed by me.

4. My trespass was grown up to Heaven;But far above the skies,In Christ abundantly forgiven,I see Thy mercies rise!

5. The depth of all-redeeming love,What angel-tongue can tell?O may I to the utmost proveThe gift unspeakable!


6. Deeper than hell, it plucked me thence;Deeper than inbred sin:Jesus’ love my heart shall cleanse,When Jesus enters in.

7. Come quickly, then, my Lord, and takePossession of Thine own;My longing heart vouchsafe to makeThine everlasting throne.

8. Assert Thy claim, receive Thy right,Come quickly from above,And sink me to perfection’s height,The depth of humble love.

Iamcharis, you beha park well!!

O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home.

2. Under the shadow of thy throne,
still may we dwell secure;
sufficient is thine arm alone,
and our defense is sure.

3. Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received her frame,
from everlasting, thou art God,
to endless years the same.

4. A thousand ages, in thy sight,
are like an evening gone;
short as the watch that ends the night,
before the rising sun.

5. Time, like an ever rolling stream,
bears all who breathe away;
they fly forgotten, as a dream
dies at the opening day.

6. O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come;
be thou our guide while life shall last,
and our eternal home.

iAmCharis:
Not so great sir.

Oh God our help in ages past, our hope for years to come.

Chris Tomlin's "Indescribable" isn't an hymn but thee lyrics is wowwwwwwwwwww. One would shiver at the mightiness of God



From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
You are amazing God

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
Incomparable, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same
You are amazing God
You are amazing God

Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all

Jesus, my Lord, my God, my All,
hear me, blest Savior, when I call;
hear me, and from thy dwelling-place
pour down the riches of thy grace;
Jesus, my Lord, I thee adore,
O make me love thee more and more.

They were gathered in an upper chamber,
as commanded by the risen Lord,
and the promise of the Father
there they sought with one accord,
when the Holy Ghost from heaven
descended
like a rushing wind and tongues of fire:
so dear Lord, we seek Thy blessing,
come with glory now our hearts inspire.

Let the fire fall, let the fire fall,
let the fire from heaven fall;
we are waiting and expecting,
now in faith, dear Lord, we call;
let the fire fall, let the fire fall,
on Thy promise we depend;
from the glory of Thy presence
let the Pentecostal fire descend

I love so many hymns.. ..ive discovered that singing hymns helps me know how to sing in parts



I come to the garden alone,
While the dew is still on the roses,
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear,
The Son of God discloses.

[Chorus:]
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.

[Verse 2:]
He speaks, and the sound of His voice,
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that He gave to me,
Within my heart is ringing.

[Chorus:]
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.

[Verse 3:]
I'd stay in the garden with Him,
Tho' the night around me be falling,
But He bids me go, thro' the voice of woe,
His voice to me is calling.

[Chorus:]
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.

Ho, my comrades! 
see the signal waving in the sky! 
Reinforcements now appearing, 
victory is nigh.

Refrain. 
“Hold the fort, for I am coming,” 
Jesus signals still; 
Wave the answer back to Heaven, 
“By Thy grace we will.”

2. See the mighty host advancing, 
Satan leading on; 
Mighty ones around us falling, 
courage almost gone!

Refrain. 
“Hold the fort, for I am coming,” 
Jesus signals still; 
Wave the answer back to Heaven, 
“By Thy grace we will.”

3. See the glorious banner waving! 
Hear the trumpet blow! 
In our Leader’s Name we triumph 
over ev’ry foe.

Refrain. 
“Hold the fort, for I am coming,” 
Jesus signals still; 
Wave the answer back to Heaven, 
“By Thy grace we will.”

4. Fierce and long the battle rages, 
but our help is near; 
Onward comes our great Commander, 
cheer, my comrades, cheer!

Refrain. 
“Hold the fort, for I am coming,” 
Jesus signals still; 
Wave the answer back to Heaven, 
“By Thy grace we will.”

Epic.
The story behind some of these hymns makes you love them more. Hope you know what led to Horatio Spafford composing this great motivational hymn.
The song "It Is Well With My Soul" was written by a successful Christian lawyer Heratio Spafford, his only son died at age 4 in 1871, in 1872, the great Chicago fire wiped out his vast estate made from a successful legal career, in 1873 he sent his wife and 4 daughters over to Europe on a summer trip on the ill fated SS ville du Havre. Since he had a lot of work to do, he planned to follow them later. The Ship sank and he lost his 4 daughters with the wife being the only survivor, she sent him a famous telegram which simply read, SAVED ALONE.... On His return home, his Law firm was burned down and the insurance refused to pay, they said "It's An Act Of God". He had no money to pay for his house and no work, he also lost his house. Then while sitting and thinking what's happening to him, being a spiritual person, he wrote a song - whatever my Lord, you have taught me to say - It is well, it is well with my soul. My dear friend, a good attitude will determine your altitude. When you look at your life, career, job or family life, what do you say? Do you praise God? Do you blame the devil? A good attitude towards God makes Him move on your behalf. Just sit down and say, "Today God, it is well with my soul, I am thankful I had a peaceful sleep, I am thankful I am alive with possibilities, I am thankful I have a roof over me, I am thankful I have a job, I am thankful that I have Family and Friends. Above all, I am thankful that I have the Lord Jesus Christ on my side. Be blessed and don't be envious or shocked when others are prospering because you don't know what they have been through to get there (test, trials and tribulation) so thank God for what you have. Little is much when God is in it. It Is Well With My Soul!
