NOW THANK WE ALL OUR GOD,

1. Now thank we all our God,

with heart and hands and voices,

who wondrous things has done,

in whom this world rejoices;

who from our mothers' arms

has blessed us on our way

with countless gifts of love,

and still is ours today.

2.  O may this bounteous God

through all our life be near us,

with ever joyful hearts

and blessed peace to cheer us;

and keep us still in grace,

and guide us when perplexed;

and free us from all ills,

in this world and the next.

3.  All praise and thanks to God

the Father now be given;

the Son, and him who reigns

with them in highest heaven;

the one eternal God,

whom earth and heaven adore;

for thus it was, is now,

and shall be evermore.

HO, MY COMRADES, SEE THE SIGNAL

1. Ho, my comrades, see the signal,

waving in the sky!

Reinforcements now appearing,

victory is nigh.

“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!

3. See the glorious banner waving!

Hear the trumpet blow!

In our Leader’s Name we triumph

over every foe.

4. Fierce and long the battle rages,

but our help is near;

Onward comes our great Commander,

cheer, my comrades, cheer!

ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS,

1. One there is above all others,

Oh, how He loves!

His is love beyond a brother’s,

Oh, how He loves!

Earthly friends may fail or leave us,

One day soothe, the next day grieve us;

But this Friend will ne’er deceive us:

Oh, how He loves!

2 ’Tis eternal life to know Him,

Oh, how He loves!

Think, oh, think how much we owe Him,

Oh, how He loves!

With His precious blood He bought us,

In the wilderness He sought us,

To His flock He safely brought us:

Oh, how He loves!

3. Blessed Jesus! would you know Him?

Oh, how He loves!

Give yourselves entirely to Him,

Oh, how He loves!

Think no longer of the morrow,

From the past new courage borrow,

Jesus carries all your sorrow:

Oh, how He loves!

4. All your sins shall be forgiven,

Oh, how He loves!

Backward shall your foes be driven,

Oh, how He loves!

Best of blessings He’ll provide you,

Nought but good shall e’er betide you,

Safe to glory He will guide you:

Oh, how He loves!

THROUGH THE LOVE OF GOD

1.Through the love of God our Saviour                 

All will be well

Free and changeless in His favour                          

All, will be well                                                 

Precious is the blood that sealed us;           

Perfect is the grace that sealed us;  

Strong the hand stretched forth to shield us                      

All, will be well                                          

 

2.Though we pass through tribulation,                  

All will be well                                         

Ours is such a full salvation                                 

All, will be well         

Happy still in God confiding,                      

Fruitful if in his abiding;                                  

Holy through the Spirit's guiding                           

All, will be well     

                                   

3.We expected as bright tomorrow,

All will be well

Faith can sing through days of sorrow

All will be well

On our Father's love relying,

Jesus every need supplying,

Then in living and in dying

All will be well
