1 I’m gonna sing when the Spirit says sing. I’m gonna sing when the Spirit says sing. I’m gonna sing when the Spirit says sing and obey the Spirit of the Lord.
2 I’m gonna pray when the Spirit says pray. I’m gonna pray when the Spirit says pray. I’m gonna pray when the Spirit says pray and obey the Spirit of the Lord.
3 I’m gonna cry when the Spirit says cry. I’m gonna cry when the Spirit says cry. I’m gonna cry when the Spirit says cry and obey the Spirit of the Lord.
4 I’m gonna shout when the Spirit says shout. I’m gonna shout when the Spirit says shout. I’m gonna shout when the Spirit says shout and obey the Spirit of the Lord.

1 All praise to our redeeming Lord, who joins us by his grace, and bids us, each to each restored, together seek his face.
2 He bids us build each other up; and, gathered into one, to our high calling’s glorious hope we hand in hand go on.
3 The gift which he on one bestows, we all delight to prove; the grace through every vessel flows, in purest streams of love.
4 Ev’n now we think and speak the same, and cordially agree; concentred all, through Jesus’ name, in perfect harmony.
5 We all partake the joy of one, the common peace we feel, a peace to sensual minds unknown, a joy unspeakable.
6 And if our fellowship below in Jesus be so sweet, what heights of rapture shall we know when round his throne we meet!

1 In unity we lift our song of grateful adoration, for brothers brave and sisters strong; what cause for celebration! For those whose faithfulness has kept us through distress, who’ve shared with us our plight, who’ve held us in the night, the blessed congregation.
2 For stories told and told again to every generation, to give us strength in time of pain, to give us consolation. Our spirits to revive, to keep our dreams alive, when we are far from home and evil seasons come; how firm is our foundation.
3 For sacred scriptures handed down, a blessed trust and treasure, which give us hope when hope is gone and make us weep with pleasure. And when our eyes grow blind and death is close behind, we shall recite them still, whose words our hearts can fill with hope beyond all measure.
4 For God our way, our bread, our rest, of all these gifts the Giver. Our strength, our guide, our nurturing breast, whose hand will yet deliver. Who keeps us till the day when night shall pass away, when hate and fear are gone and all our work is done, and we shall sing forever.

1 Together we serve, united by love, inviting God’s world to the glorious feast. We work and we pray through sorrow and joy, extending God’s love to the last and the least.
2 We seek to become a beacon of hope, a lamp for the heart and a light for the feet. We learn, year by year, to let love shine through until we see Christ in each person we meet.
3 We welcome the scarred, the wealthy, the poor, the busy, the lonely, and all who need care. We offer a home to those who will come, our hands quick to help, our hearts ready to dare.
4 Together, by grace, we witness and work, remembering Jesus, in whom we grow strong. Together we serve in Spirit and truth, remembering love is the strength of our song.
