Song Lyrics for Today's Worship

"How Great Thou Art"

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 pow­er through­out the uni­verse dis­played:

​

REFRAIN:  Then sings my soul, my Sav­ior God, to thee:
How great thou art! How great thou art! (x2)

​

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.  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)

“Blest Are They"

​

1. Blest are they, the poor in spirit; theirs is the kingdom of God. Blest are they, full of sorrow, they shall be consoled. 

 

CHORUS:  Rejoice and be glad! Blessed are you; holy are you! Rejoice and be glad! Yours is the kingdom of God!

 

3. Blest are they, who show mercy, mercy shall be theirs. Blest are they, the pure of heart, they shall see God. 

 

CHORUS:  Rejoice and be glad! Blessed are you; holy are you! Rejoice and be glad! Yours is the kingdom of God!

 

4. Blest are you who suffer hate, all because of me. Rejoice, be glad; yours is the kingdom; shine for all to see. 

 

CHORUS (2x):  Rejoice and be glad! Blessed are you; holy are you! Rejoice and be glad! Yours is the kingdom of God!
