FINAL HYMN O God Beyond All Praising    (Perry/THAXTED)  

 O God beyond all praising,   We worship you today  And sing the love amazing,   That songs cannot repay;  For we can only wonder at every gift you send,  At blessings without number   And mercies without end:  We lift our hearts before you,   And wait upon your word,  We honour and adore you,   Our great and mighty Lord.   Then hear, O gracious Savior,   Accept the love we bring,  That we who know your favor,   May serve you as our king;  And whether our tomorrows,   Be filled with good or ill,  We'll triumph through our sorrows,  And rise to bless you still:  To marvel at your beauty,   And glory in your ways,  And make a joyful duty,   Our sacrifice of praise.
