WLP (W721) Signs of endings all around us

Piano     PARTS

Signs of endings all around us

Darkness, death and WInter Days
Shroud our lives in winter sadness
numbing mouths that long to praise.
Come, O Christ and dwell among us
Hear our cries, come set us free
Give us hope and faith and gladness
Show us what there yet can be.

Can it be that from our endings
new beginnings You create?
Life from death, and from our rendings
realms of wholeness generate?
Take our fears, then, Lord, and turn them
Into hopes for life anew
Fading light and dying season
Sing their Glorias to You.

Speak o God Your word among us.
Barren lives Your presence fill.
Swell our hearts with songs of gladness,
Terrors calm, forebodings still.
Let Your promised realm of justice
blossom now throughout the earth;
Your dominion bring now near us;
We await the saving birth.

MIDI    YoutTube          PARTS

One love, one heart

Let’s get together and feel all right

Hear the children crying (One love)

Hear the children crying (One heart)

Sayin’, give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right

Sayin’, let’s get together and feel all right

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (one love)

There is one question I’d really love to ask (one heart)

Is there a place for the hopeless sinner

Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own?

Believe me

One love, one heart

Let’s get together and feel all right

As it was in the beginning (one love)

So shall it be in the end (one heart)

Alright, give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right

Let’s get together and feel all right

One more thing

Let’s get together to fight this Holy Armageddon (one love)

So when the Man comes there will be no, no doom (one song)

Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner

There ain’t no hiding place from the Father of Creation

Sayin’, one love, one heart

Let’s get together and feel all right

I’m pleading to mankind (one love)

Oh, Lord (one heart) whoa

Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right

Let’s get together and feel all right

Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right

Let’s get together and feel all right

LEVAS2 (L060)   How great Thou art

HARVEST PARTS

1 O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds thy hands have made,
I see the stars I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy pow’r throughout the universe displayed.

Refrain:
Then sings my soul, my Savior, God, to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

2 When through the woods and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees,
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur,
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze. [Refrain]

3 And when I think that God, his Son not sparing,
Send him to die, I scarce can take it in,
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin. [Refrain]

4 When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration,
And there proclaim, my God how great thou art. [Refrain]

Dios es tan bueno
Dios es tan bueno
Bueno es el Senor

He cares for me,
He cares for me,
He’s so good to me.

El cuida de mi
El cuida de mi

Hymnal 1982 (H290)   Come, ye thankful people, come

HARVEST PARTS

1. Come, ye thankful people, come,
raise the song of harvest home;
all is safely gathered in,
ere the winter storms begin;
God, our Maker, doth provide
for our wants to be supplied;
come to God's own temple, come,
raise the song of harvest home.

2. All the world is God's own field,
fruit unto his praise to yield;
wheat and tares together sown,
unto joy or sorrow grown;
first the blade, and then the ear,
then the full corn shall appear;
grant, O harvest Lord, that we
wholesome grain and pure may be.

3. For the Lord our God shall come,
and shall take his harvest home;
from his field shall in that day
all offenses purge away;
give his angels charge at last
in the fire the tares to cast,
but the fruitful ears to store
in the garner evermore.

4. Even so, Lord, quickly come,
to thy final harvest home;
gather thou thy people in,
free from sorrow, free from sin;
there, forever purified,
in thy presence to abide;
come, with all thine angels come,
raise the glorious harvest home.

LEVAS2 - Hymn 1 Lift Every Voice and Sing

Piano    Parts    Soprano    Alto    Tenor    Bass     HARVEST

1 Lift ev’ry voice and sing,
Till earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the list’ning skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us;
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun
Of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory is won.

2 Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chast’ning rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over away that with tears has been watered;
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered;
Out from the gloomy past,
Till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.

3 God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who hast by thy might,
Led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met thee;
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget thee,
Shadowed beneath Thy hand,
May we forever stand,
True to our God, true to our native land.

Thank You Lord, for Your blessings on me

HARVEST

While the world looks upon me
As I struggle along
They say I've got nothing
But they are so wrong
In my heart I'm rejoicing
How I wish they could see
Thank you Lord
For your blessing on me!

There's a roof up above me
I've a good place to sleep
There's food on my table
And shoes on my feet
You gave me your love Lord
And a fine family
Thank you Lord
For your blessings on me!

I know I'm not wealthy
These clothes, they're not new
I don't have much money
But Lord I have you
And that's all that matters
Though the world may not see
Thank you Lord
For your blessings on me!

There's a roof up above me
I've a good place to sleep
There's food on my table
And shoes on my feet
You gave me your love Lord
And a fine family
Thank you Lord
For all your blessings on me!
