[Verse 1]
What is our hope in life and death?
Christ alone, Christ alone.
What is our only confidence?
That our souls to Him belong.
Who holds our days within His hand?
What comes, apart from His command?
And what will keep us to the end?
The love of Christ, in which we stand.

[Chorus]
O sing, “Hallelujah!”
Our hope springs eternal.
O sing, “Hallelujah!”
Now and ever we confess:
Christ our hope in life and death.

[Verse 2]
What truth can calm the troubled soul?
God is good, God is good.
Where is His grace and goodness known?
In our great Redeemer’s blood.
Who holds our faith when fears arise?
Who stands above the stormy trial?
Who sends the waves that bring us nigh
Unto the shore, the rock of Christ?

[Chorus]
O sing, “Hallelujah!”
Our hope springs eternal.
O sing, “Hallelujah!”
Now and ever we confess:
Christ our hope in life and death.

[Verse 3]
Unto the grave, what will we sing?
“Christ, He lives! Christ, He lives!”
And what reward will heaven bring?
Everlasting life in Him,
There we will rise to meet the Lord,
Then sin and death will be destroyed,
And we will feast in endless joy,
When Christ is ours forevermore.

[Chorus x2]
O sing, “Hallelujah!”
Our hope springs eternal.
O sing, “Hallelujah!”
Now and ever we confess:
Christ our hope in life and death.

[Ending]
Now and ever we confess:
Christ our hope in life and death.

[Verse 1]
I love to tell the story
Of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory,
Of Jesus and His love.
I love to tell the story,
Because I know ’tis true;
It satisfies my longings
As nothing else can do.

[Chorus]
I love to tell the story,
‘Twill be my theme in glory
To tell the old, old story
Of Jesus and His love.

[Verse 2]
I love to tell the story;
‘Tis pleasant to repeat
What seems each time I tell it,
More wonderfully sweet.
I love to tell the story,
For some have never heard
The message of salvation
From God’s own holy Word.

[Chorus]
I love to tell the story,
‘Twill be my theme in glory
To tell the old, old story
Of Jesus and His love.

[Verse 3]
I love to tell the story;
For those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting
To hear it, like the rest.
And when, in scenes of glory,
I sing the new, new song,
‘Twill be the old, old, story
That I have loved so long.

[Chorus]
I love to tell the story,
‘Twill be my theme in glory
To tell the old, old story
Of Jesus and His love.

[Verse 1]
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling for you and for me;
See, on the portals, He’s waiting and watching,
Watching for you and for me.

[Chorus]
Come home, come home,
Ye who are weary come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!

[Verse 2]
Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading,
Pleading for you and for me?
Why should we linger and heed not His mercies,
Mercies for you and for me?

[Chorus]
Come home, come home,
Ye who are weary come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!

[Verse 3]
Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing,
Passing from you and from me;
Shadows are gathering, deathbeds are coming,
Coming for you and for me.

[Chorus]
Come home, come home,
Ye who are weary come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!

[Verse 4]
Oh! For the wonderful love He has promised,
Promised for you and for me;
Though we have sinned He has mercy and pardon,
Pardon for you and for me.

[Chorus]
Come home, come home,
Ye who are weary come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!

[Verse 1]
You have been our dwelling place,
O everlasting God.
Before You formed the mountaintops,
You were before it all.
And soon our lives turn back to dust.

[Chorus]
When the sun comes up satisfy us,
Before the day has passed us by.
Before our hearts forget all Your goodness,
Satisfy us with Your love.

[Verse 2]
The wrath of God poured out for sin,
On Jesus crucified.
Consider Him, our hiding place,
Our shelter is alive,
Because He lived and died for us.

[Chorus]
When the sun comes up satisfy us,
Before the day has passed us by.
Before our hearts forget all Your goodness,
Satisfy us with Your love.

[Bridge]
Teach us, Lord, to number our days on earth.
And give us more wisdom in the secret heart,
As You display amazing grace in Jesus Christ for us.

[Chorus x2]
When the sun comes up satisfy us,
Before the day has passed us by.
Before our hearts forget all Your goodness,
Satisfy us with Your love.

[Chorus 2]
When the sun comes up satisfy us,
Before the day has passed us by.
Before our hearts give up, Spirit fill us.
Satisfy us with Your love.
Satisfy us with Your love.

[Verse 1]
Lord, I come, I confess,
Bowing here I find my rest.
And without You I fall apart,
You’re the One that guides my heart.

[Chorus]
Lord, I need You, oh, I need You.
Ev’ry hour I need You.
My one defense, my righteousness,
Oh God, how I need You.

[Verse 2]
Where sin runs deep Your grace is more.
Where grace is found is where You are.
And where You are, Lord, I am free;
Holiness is Christ in me.
Yes, where You are, Lord I am free;
Holiness is Christ in me.

[Chorus]
Lord, I need You, oh, I need You.
Ev’ry hour I need You.
My one defense, my righteousness,
Oh God, how I need You.

[Bridge]
So, teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way.
And when I cannot stand I’ll fall on You.
Jesus, You’re my hope and stay.
And when I cannot stand I’ll fall on You.
Jesus, You’re my hope and stay.

[Chorus x2]
Lord, I need You, oh, I need You.
Ev’ry hour I need You.
My one defense, my righteousness,
Oh God, how I need You.

[Tag]
My one defense, my righteousness,
Oh God, how I need You.
