The splendour of Your majesty Your wondrous works surrounding me I will declare Your awesome greatness Your goodness truly overflows Your righteousness in which I'm clothed I will declare Your awesome greatness Great is the Lord, so great He is greatly to be praised His greatness is unsearchable Great is the Lord, so great He is greatly to be praised I stand amazed, I stand amazed You hold the falling in Your arms You raise up all who are bowed down I will declare Your awesome greatness You give me all that I require You satisfy my heart's desire I will declare Your awesome greatness

People of God, enter into rest People of God, know that you are blessed The grace of our Maker, has brought us salvation We have a high priest who makes propitiation Don't be made stone by the wiles of sin Encourage each other, strive to be like Him His word is living, the sharpest incision It pierces the soul with perfect precision We draw near with no fear before Him With boldness we seek His face There's mercy, forgiveness and comfort Draw near to His throne of grace Nothing can hide, everything is known Exposed to His eyes, all our secrets shown But the grace of our Maker, has brought us salvation We have a high priest who makes propitiation

Rich in mercy, rich in grace He has shown His heavenly face Rich in mercy, rich in grace We're seated with the Lord in the heavenly place

We were dead in all our sin Following our worldly course Slaves to our desires within We went astray Children of a righteous wrath Without hope, we stood condemned When there was no other path He made a way Pre-Chorus: Rich in mercy, rich in love God has brought us back to His side Raised with Jesus, and seated above We will be His bride Chorus 1: There will be joy There we will sing Our God is there He will wipe every tear away For by grace we have been saved Not by works, so none can boast So now as His workmanship, We walk His way Chorus 2: There will be joy There we will sing Our God is there He will wipe every tear away No more of death And no suffering Our God is there He will wipe every tear away We'll sing "Hallelujah, O Hallelujah"

The Lord forgives iniquity He heals all of our disease Redeems our lives from misery and crowns us with love and with mercy He shows compassion to us He knows our frame: that we are dust Our days are short and quickly past But His love is from everlasting Chorus: Bless the Lord O my soul And let all within bless His holy name Bless the Lord O my soul And never forget all His benefits The Lord is gracious and merciful His anger is slow, and love bountiful He will not always accuse us all Nor harbour his anger forever He has taken our sin Far away, far away As far as east is from west Far away, far away

(A few of the lesser-known verses of the hymn) Jesus shall reign wherever the sun Does its successive journeys run; His kingdom stretch from shore to shore, Till moons shall wax and wane no more. With power He vindicates the just, And treads the oppressor in the dust: His worship and His fear shall last Till hours, and years, and time be past. Chorus: We praise You, Lord We praise You, Lord For Your great love We praise You, Lord The heathen lands, that lie beneath The shades of overspreading death, Revive at His first dawning light; And deserts blossom at the sight. The saints shall flourish in His days, Dressed in the robes of joy and praise; Peace, like a river, from His throne Shall flow to nations yet unknown.

Like a river 03:25
Peace, like a river, from His throne Shall flow to nations yet unknown
9.
Oh, the depth of riches And wisdom of our God Unsearchable His judgments Inscrutable His ways For who has known the mind of God Or been His counsellor? Given any gift to Him That he might be repaid? For from him and through him and to him are all things Amen
