My Hope Is In The Lord
[ Verse 1 ]
My hope is in the Lord
Who gave Himself for me,
And paid the price of all my sin
at Calvary

Refrain:
For me He died, For me He lives,
And everlasting life and light
He freely gives.
[Verse 2
No merit of my own
His anger to suppress.
My only hope is found in
Jesus’ righteousness.
[ Verse 3 ]
And now for me He stands
Before the Father’s throne.
He shows His wounded hands,
and names me as His own.
[ Verse 4 ]
His grace has planned it all,
’Tis mine but to believe,
And recognize His work of love
And Christ receive.

REJOICE, THE LORD IS KING
[ Verse 1 ]
Rejoice, the Lord is King: Your Lord and King adore!
Rejoice, give thanks, and sing, And triumph evermore,  
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say rejoice!
[ Verse 2 ]
Jesus, the Savior reigns, The God of truth and love;
When He had purged our stains, He took His seat above:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say rejoice!
[ Verse 3 ]
His Kingdom cannot fail, He rules o'er earth and heav'n;
The Keys of death and hell, Are to our Jesus giv'n:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say rejoice!
[ Verse 4 ]
Rejoice, in glorious hope! Our Lord the Judge shall come,
And take His servants up, To their eternal home.
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say rejoice!

CROWN HIM WITH MANY CROWNS
[ Verse 1 ]
Crown Him with many crowns, The Lamb upon His throne;
Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns All music but its own
Awake, my soul, and sing of Him who died for thee,
And hail Him as thy matchless King Through all eternity.
[ Verse 2 ]
Crown Him the Son of God Before the worlds began,
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.
[ Verse 3 ]
Crown Him the Lord of life, Who triumphed o'er 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.
[ Verse 4 ]
Crown Him the Lord of love! Behold His hands and side,
Rich wounds, yet visible above, In beauty glorified:
All hail, Redeemer, hail! For Thou has died tor me:
Thy praise shall never, never fail Throughout eternity.
[ Heading 6b ]
SOLDIERS OF CHRIST, ARISE
[ Verse 1 ]
Soldiers of Christ, arise, And put your armor on,
Strong in the strength which God supplies Through His eternal Son,
Strong in the Lord of hosts. And in His mighty power,
Who in the strength of Jesus trusts Is more than conqueror.
[ Verse 2 ]
Stand then in His great might, With all His strength endued,
And take, to arm you for the fight, The panoply of God;
That having all things done, And all your conflicts past,
Ye may o’ercome through Christ alone, And stand entire at last.
[ Verse 3 ]
Leave no unguarded place. No weakness of the soul;
Take every virtue, every grace. And fortify the whole.
From strength to strength go on, Wrestle and fight and pray,
Tread all the powers of darkness down, And win the well-fought day.
