Pale silver moon that gently gleams,

waiting to hush our final breath,

O praise him, Alleluia!

You lead back home the child of God,

for Christ our Lord that way has trod:

O praise him, O praise him,

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

LEVAS II - Hymn 115 Spirit of the Living God

Piano    Parts    Soprano    Alto    Tenor    Bass

Spirit of the Living God, fall fresh on me.

Melt me, mold me, fill me, use me.

Spirit of the Living God, fall fresh on me. 

LEVAS II - Hymn 111 Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Piano    Parts    Soprano    Alto    Tenor    Bass

1 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 the mount, O fix me on it.

Mount of God’s unchanging love.

2 Here I raise my Ebenezer,

Hither by thy help I’m come;

And I hope, by thy good pleasure,

Surely to arrive at home.

Jesus sought me when a stranger,

Wand’ring from the fold of God.

He, to save my soul from danger,

Interposed His precious blood.

3 O, to grace how great a debtor,

Daily I’m constrained to be;

Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter,

Bind my wand’ring heart to Thee.

Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,

Prone to leave the God I love.

Here’s my heart, Lord, take and seal it,

Seal it from thy courts above.

LEVAS II - Hymn 136 I Have Decided to Follow Jesus

Piano    Parts    Soprano    Alto    Tenor    Bass

1 I have decided to follow Jesus,

I have decided to follow Jesus,

I have decided to follow Jesus,

No turning back, no turning back!

2 Though no one join me, still I will follow,

Though no one join me, still I will follow,

Though no one join me, still I will follow,

No turning back, no turning back!

3 The world behind me, the cross before me,

The world behind me, the cross before me,

The world behind me, the cross before me,

No turning back, no turning back!

LEVAS II - Hymn 135 Is Your All on the Altar

Piano    Parts    Soprano    Alto    Tenor    Bass

1 You have longed for sweet peace

and for faith to increase,

And have earnestly, fervently prayed;

But you cannot have rest or be perfectly blest

Until all on the altar is laid.

Refrain:

Is your all on the altar of sacrifice laid?

Your heart does the Spirit control?

You can only be blest and have peace and sweet rest

As you yield Him your body and soul.

2 Would you walk with the Lord

in the light of His word,

And have peace and contentment alway?

You must do His sweet will to be free from all ill,

On the altar your all you must lay. [Refrain]

3 O we never can know

what the Lord will bestow

Of the blessings for which we have prayed

Till our body and soul He doth fully control,

And our all on the altar is laid. [Refrain]

4 Who can tell all the love

He will send from above,

And how happy our hearts will be made;

Of the charity sweet we shall share at His feet

When our all on the altar is laid. [Refrain]

Piano    Parts    Soprano    Alto    Tenor    Bass

And I know that it's the Spirit of the LORD

There are sweet expressions on each face

And I know they feel the presence of the LORD

[Refrain] Sweet Holy Spirit, sweet Heavenly Dove,

Stay Right here with us, filling us with Your love.

And for these blessings, we lift our hearts in praise;

Without a doubt, we'll know, 

That we have been revived 

When we shall leave this place.

2. There are blessings you cannot receive

Till you know Him in His fullness and believe

You're the one to profit when you say

"I am going to walk with Jesus all the way" [Refrain]

3. If you say He saved you from your sin

Now you're weak, you're bound, and cannot enter in

You can make it right if you yield

You'll enjoy the Holy Spirit that we feel [Refrain]

and ye, who tread where he hath trod,
crown him the Son of man;
who every grief hath known
that wrings the human breast,
and takes and bears them for his own,
that all in him may rest.
who triumphed over the grave,
and rose victorious in the strife
for those he came to save;
his glories now we sing,
who died, and rose on high,
who died, eternal life to bring,
and lives that death may die.
who over all doth reign,
who once on earth, the incarnate Word,
for ransomed sinners slain,
now lives in realms of light,
where saints with angels sing
their songs before him day and night,
their God, Redeemer, King.
enthroned in worlds above;
crown him the King,to whom is given,
the wondrous name of Love.
Crown him with many crowns,
as thrones before him fall,
crown him, ye kings, with many crowns,
for he is King of all.

All because we do not carry
Ev’rything to God in prayer!

Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge,
Take it to the Lord in Prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in Prayer.
In his arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.

HYMNODY (Playlist)

525 The Church's One Foundation    MIDI    PIANO

PARTS     SOPRANO    ALTO    TENOR    BASS

1 The Church's one foundation
is Jesus Christ her Lord;
she is his new creation
by water and the word:
from heaven he came and sought her
to be his holy bride;
with his own blood he bought her,
and for her life he died.

2 Elect from every nation,
yet one o'er all the earth,
her charter of salvation,
one Lord, one faith, one birth;
one holy Name she blesses,
partakes one holy food,
and to one hope she presses,
with every grace endued.

3 Though with a scornful wonder
men see her sore oppressed,
by schisms rent asunder,
by heresies distressed;
yet saints their watch are keeping,
their cry goes up, "How long?"
and soon the night of weeping
shall be the morn of song.

4 Mid toil and tribulation,
and tumult of her war
she waits the consummation
of peace for evermore;
till with the vision glorious
her longing eyes are blessed,
and the great Church victorious
shall be the Church at rest.

5 Yet she on earth hath union
with God, the Three in one,
and mystic sweet communion
with those whose rest is won.
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we
like them, the meek and lowly,
on high may dwell with thee.

Lord God, Lamb of God, 
you take away the sins of the world,
have mercy on us;
you are seated at the right hand of the Father,
receive our prayer.
For you alone are the Holy One,
you alone are the Lord,
you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ,
with the Holy Spirit,
in the glory of God the Father.
