in christ alone overtureKeith Getty & Stuart Townend Arranged: David Hamilton

hoW great thou art

Words & Music: Stuart Keene Hine © 1949 and 1953 Stuart Tine Trust Arranged: Noel Tredinnick

1. O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder,consider all the works thy hand hath made.I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,thy pow'r throughout the universe display'd:

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to thee,"How great thou art! How great thou art."Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to thee,"How great thou art! How great thou art."

2. And when I think that God his Son not sparing,sent him to die - I scarce can take it in;that on the cross my burden gladly bearing,he bled and died to take away my sin:Then sings my soul …

3. When Christ shall come with shout of acclamationand take me home - what joy shall fill my heart!Then shall I bow in humble adorationand there proclaim, my God, how great thou art!Then sings my soul …

Programme - Part One

The heavens are telling the glory of God,the wonder of his work displays the firmament. To-day that is coming, speaks it the day,the night that is gone, to following night.

The heavens are telling the glory of God,the wonder of his work displays the firmament.In all the lands resounds the word,never unperceived, ever understood.The heavens are telling the glory of God,

the wonder of his work displays the firmament.

the heavens are telling (from The Creation) - with joanne lunnJoseph Haydn

as Water to the thirsty - with helen-jane howellsWords: Timothy Dudley-Smith Music: Brian Coleman Arr.: Noël Tredinnick

As water to the thirsty,as beauty to the eyes,as strength that follows weakness,as truth instead of lies;as songtime and springtimeand summertime to be,so is my Lord, my living Lord,so is my Lord to me.

Like calm in place of clamour,like peace that follows pain,like meeting after parting,like sunshine after rain;

like moonlight and starlightand sunlight on the sea,so is my Lord, my living Lord,

As sleep that follows fever,as gold instead of grey,as freedom after bondage,as sunrise to the day;as home to the travellerand all he longs to see,so is my Lord, my living Lord,so is my Lord,so is my Lord to me. © : Timothy Dudley-Smith

in christ alone by the virtual Worship project

1. In Christ alone my hope is found.He is my light my strength my songThis Cornerstone this solid Groundfirm through the fiercest drought and storm.What heights of love what depths of peace,when fears are stilled when strivings cease.My Comforter, my All in All.Here in the love of Christ I stand.

2. In Christ alone who took on fleshfullness of God in helpless babe.This gift of love and righteousnessscorned by the ones he came to save.Till on that cross as Jesus diedthe wrath of God was satisfied.For every sin on him was laidhere in the death of Christ I live.

3. There in the ground his body laylight of the world by darkness slain.Then bursting forth in glorious dayup from the grave he rose again.And as he stands in victorysin's curse has lost its grip on me.For I am his and he is minebought with the precious blood of Christ.

4. No guilt in life no fear in deaththis is the power of Christ in me.From life's first cry to final breathJesus commands my destiny.No power of hell no scheme of mancan ever pluck me from his hand,Till He returns or calls me homehere in the power of Christ I'll stand.
