And ye floods above the sky.

From the earth, O praise Jehovah,

All ye floods, ye dragons all,

Fire and hail and snow and vapors,

Stormy winds that hear Him call.

Sing on, ye joyful pilgrims,

Nor think the moments long;

My faith is heavenward rising

With every tuneful song;

Lo! on the mount of blessing,

The glorious mount, I stand;

And looking over Jordan,

I see the promised land.

The time will not be long,

Till in our Father's kingdom

Where those we love are waiting

To greet us on the shore;

We'll meet beyond the river,

Where surges roll no more.

Trying to walk in the steps of the Savior,

Trying to follow our Savior and King;

Shaping our lives by His blessed example,

Happy, how happy, the songs that we bring.

Stepping in the light,



Led in paths of light!

Pressing more closely to Him who is leading,

When we are tempted to turn from the way;

Trusting the arm that is strong to defend us,

Happy, how happy, our praises each day.















4.

Trying to walk in the steps of the Savior,

Upward, still upward we'll follow our Guide;

When we shall see Him, "the King in His beauty,"

Happy, how happy, our place at His side!















Joyful, Joyful We Adore TheeJoyful, Joyful We Adore Thee

#362#362

1.

Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee,

God of glory, Lord of love;

Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee,

Opening to the sun above,

Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;

Drive the dark of doubt away;

Giver of immortal gladness,

Fill us with the light of day!

2.

All Thy works with joy surround Thee,

Earth and heaven reflect Thy rays,

Stars and angels sing around Thee,

Center of unbroken praise;

Field and forest, vale and mountain,

Flowery meadow, flashing sea,

Chanting bird and flowing fountain

Call us to rejoice in Thee.






3.

Thou art giving and forgiving,

Ever blessing, ever blest,

Wellspring of the joy of living,

Ocean depth of happy rest!

Thou our father, Christ our Brother,

All who live in love are Thine;

Teach us how to love each other,

Lift us to the joy divine.






4. Mortals join the mighty chorus,

Which the morning stars began;

Father love is reigning o'er us,

Brother love binds man to man.

Ever singing, march we onward,

Victors in the midst of strife;

Joyful music leads us sunward

In the triumph song of life.

When peace like a river attendeth my way,

When sorrows like sea billows roll;

Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,

"It is well, it is well with my soul."

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought

My sin, not in part but the whole,

Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more:

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!










4.

And, Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight,

The clouds be rolled back as a scroll,

The trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend,

"Even so" it is well with my soul.










There Is A FountainThere Is A Fountain

1.

There is a fountain filled with blood,

Drawn from Immanuel's veins;

And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,

Lose all their guilty stains.

Lose all their guilty stains,

Lose all their guilty stains;

And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,

Lose all their guilty stains.

1 1 –– There Is a FountainThere Is a Fountain

Words by: William Cowper

Music by: Lowell Mason© 2001 The Paperless Hymnal™







3.

Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood

Shall never lose its power,

Till all the ransomed church of God

Be saved to sin no more.

Be saved to sin no more,

Be saved to sin no more;

Till all the ransomed church of God

Be saved to sin no more.










3.

E'er since by faith I saw the stream

Thy flowing wounds supply,

Redeeming love has been my theme,

And shall be till I die.

And shall be till I die,

And shall be till I die;

Redeeming love has been my theme,

And shall be till I die.
