Great and glorious is the Lord in majesty,
Glorious in power eternal, mighty and loving Father
Praise Him for His greatness, for all his exceeding greatness,

Let us extol him forevermore
Praise ye the Lord, for it is good to sing praises unto our God.
Glorious and mighty, loving Father, glorious ever in majesty.
Praise to Thy name, Thy holy name evermore.
God is near to all that call truly upon Him.
The Lord upholds all who fall and gently he raises those who are bowed down.
Great and glorious….

Out of the Deep / from REQUIEM by John Rutter (English)
Text: Psalm 130
Out of the deep have I called unto thee, O Lord:
Lord, hear my voice.
O let thine ears consider well the voice of my complaint.
If thou, Lord, wilt be extreme to mark what is done amiss:
O Lord, who may abide it?
For there is mercy with thee: therefore shalt thou be feared.
I look to the Lord; my soul doth wait for him,
and in his word is my trust.
My soul fleeth unto the Lord: before the morning watch, I say,
before the morning watch.
O Israel trust in the Lord, for with the Lord there is mercy:
and with him is plenteous redemption.
And he shall redeem Israel from all his sins.

I Will Be a Child of Peace / American Hymn, arr. Elaine Hagenberg
O holy Father, I would be a child of peace and purity
For well I know Thy hand will bless the seeker after righteousness.
Tune My Heart to Sing God’s Praise / American Hymn arr. Lloyd Larson
Come, thou Fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing thy grace;
streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise His name! I'm fixed upon it, name of God’s redeeming love.
Here I raise my Ebenezer; hither by thy help I've come;
and I hope, by thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger, interposed His precious blood.
O to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love;
here's my heart, O take and seal it, seal it for thy courts above.
