God of our strength, enthroned above,
The source of life, the fount of love;
O let devotion’s sacred flame
Our souls awake to praise Thy Name.

Refrain

God of our strength, we wait on Thee,
Our sure defense forever be.

To Thee we lift our joyful eyes,
To Thee on wings of faith we rise;
Come Thou, and let Thy courts on earth
Ring out Thy praise in holy mirth.

Refrain

God of our strength, from day to day
Direct our thoughts and guide our way;
O may our hearts united be
In sweet communion, Lord, with Thee.

Refrain

God of our strength, on Thee we call;
God of our hope, our light, our all,
Thy Name we praise, Thy love adore,
Our Rock, our Shield, forevermore.

Refrain

The wondrous work the Lord has done
Let every voice proclaim!
And for the work of grace begun,
The wondrous battle fought and won,
Give glory to His Name!

Refrain

We pleaded for the Spirit,
He came in mighty power;
We pleaded for the droppings,
And lo, He sent the shower!

Unto the Lord doth praise belong,
O tell it everywhere!
Let every ransomed soul prolong
The loud hosannah of the song—
The Lord doth answer prayer!

Refrain

We’ll sing the power of Jesus’ Name,
And His atoning blood;
Today and evermore the same,
The vilest sinner to reclaim,
And bring Him back to God.

Refrain

Let every heart and every tongue
As one united host
Praise God for what His arm hath done—
Praise God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Holy Ghost!

Refrain

The sweetest story told on earth,
Or heard in Heav’n above,
Is told of Jesus and His birth,
Of Jesus and His love.

Refrain

O story never old,
The sweetest ever told!
Until the gates of gold swing back for me;
I’ll tell it o’er and o’er,
And then on yonder shore
It still forevermore my song shall be.

He took upon Himself the guilt
Of all my sins and thine,
And on the cross of Calvary
He paid thy debt and mine.

Refrain

“There was no other good enough
To pay the price of sin;
He only could unlock the gate
Of Heav’n and let us in.”

Refrain

“O dearly, dearly hath He loved
And we must love Him, too,
And trust in His redeeming love,
And try His works to do.”
