Mission Praise 1072:

1.  In Christ alone my hope is found,

He is my light, my strength, my song;

this cornerstone, this solid ground,

firm through the fiercest drought and storm

what heights of love, what depths of peace,

when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!

My comforter, my all in all,

here in the love of Christ I stand. 

 

2.  In Christ alone, who took on flesh,

fullness of God in helpless Babe!

This gift of love and righteousness,

scorned by the ones he came to save,

till on that cross as Jesus died,

the wrath of God was satisfied,

for every sin on Him was laid;

here in the death of Christ I live.

 

3.  There in the ground his body lay,

light of the world by darkness slain,

then, bursting forth in glorious day,

up from the grave He rose again! 

And as he stands in victory

sin's curse has lost its grip on me,

for I am His and He is mine-

bought with the precious blood of Christ.

 

4.  No guilt in life, no fear in death,

this is the power of Christ in me;

from life's first cry to final breath,

Jesus commands my destiny.

No power of hell, no scheme of man

can ever pluck me from His hand;

till He returns or calls me home,                                                                                 here in the power of Christ I'll stand!

Mission Praise:  757

1.  When peace like a river attendeth my way,

when sorrows like sea-billows roll;

whatever my lot, You have taught me to say, 

'It is well, it is well with my soul'

 

It is well with my soul;

it is well, it is well with my soul

 

2.  Though Satan should buttet, if trials should come,

let this blessed assurance control,

that Christ has regarded my helpless estate, 

and has shed His own blood for my soul.

 

It is well.......

 

3.  My sin - O the bliss of this glorious thought -

my sin - not in part - but the whole

is nailed to His cross; and I bear it no more;

praise the Lord, praise the Lord O my soul,

 

It is well...............

 

4.  For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live!

If Jordan above me shall roll,

no pang shall be mine, for in death as in life,

You will whisper Your peace to my soul.

 

It is well.......

 

5.  But Lord, it's for You - for Your coming we wait,

the sky, not the grave, is our goal;

O trump of the angel!  O voice of the Lord!

Blessed hope!  blessed rest of my soul.

 

It is well.........
