1 To God be the glory great things He has done So loved He the world that He gave us His Son who yielded His life an atonement for sin and opened the life-gate that all may go in.
REFRAIN:
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord; let the earth hear His voice.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord; let the people rejoice.
Come to the Father through Jesus the Son. Give Him the glory; great things He has done.
2 O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood to every believer the promise of God. The vilest offender who truly believes that moment from Jesus a pardon receives. REFRAIN
3 Great things He has taught us, great things He has done and great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son. But purer, and higher, and greater will be our wonder, our worship, when Jesus we see. REFRAIN

He Touched Me (UMH 367)

1 Shackled by a heavy burden ‘Neath a load of guilt and shame; then the hand of Jesus touched me And now I am no longer the same

REFRAIN:
He touched me, oh, He touched me and oh, the joy that floods my soul. Something happened, and now I know. He touched me, and made me whole.

2 Since I’ve met this blessed Savior, since He’s cleansed and made me whole. Oh, I will never cease to praise Him (to praise Him). I’ll shout it while eternity rolls.  REFRAIN X2

Shine, Jesus, Shine

REFRAIN:
Shine, Jesus, shine; fill this land with the Father’s glory.  Blaze, Spirit, blaze; set our hearts on fire. Flow, river, flow, flood the nations with grace and mercy.  Send forth your word.  Lord, and let there be light.
1 Lord, the light of your love is shining in the midst of the darkness, shining.  Jesus, Light of the world, shine upon us set us free by the truth you now bring us. Shine on me, shine on me. (REFRAIN)
2 Lord, I come to your awesome presence. From the shadows into your radiance.
By the blood I may enter your brightness.  Search me, try me, consume all my darkness. Shine on me, shine on me (REFRAIN)
3 As we gaze on your kingly brightness so our faces display your likeness
Ever changing from glory to glory; mirrored here may our lives tell your story.  Shine on me, shine on me (REFRAIN)

Refrain:
There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole; there is a balm in Gilead to heal the sin sick soul. (x2)
1. Sometimes I feel discouraged, and think my work’s in vain, but then the Holy Spirit revives my soul again. Refrain
2. Sometimes I feel discouraged, for Jesus is your friend. And if you look for knowledge, he’ll ne’er refuse to lend. Refrain
3. If you can’t preach like Peter, if you can’t pray like Paul, just tell the love of Jesus, and say He died for all. Refrain

There’s a sweet, sweet spirit in this place , and I that it’s the spirit of the Lord. There are sweet expressions on each face and I know that it’s the Spirit of the Lord.
Sweet Holy Spirit, sweet, heavenly dove. Stay right here with us filling us your love.
And, for those blessings, we lift our heart in praise. Without a doubt, we’ll know that we have been revived when we shall leave this place.

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. 
Refrain:
I love to tell the story, 
’twill be my theme in glory, 
to tell the old, old story 
of Jesus and his love.
2 I love to tell the story; more wonderful it seems than all the golden fancies of all our golden dreams. I love to tell the story, it did so much for me; and that is just the reason I tell it now to thee. (Refrain)
3 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 G-d’s own holy Word. (Refrain)
4 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. (Refrain)
