Praise to the Lord (the Almighty)

Verse 1
Praise to the Lord
The Almighty, the king of creation
O my soul praise him
For he is your health and salvation
Come all who hear
Now to his altar draw near
Joining in glad adorationVerse 2
Praise to the Lord
Who shall prosper our work and defend us
Surely his goodness and mercy
Shall daily attend us
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do
Who with his love will befriend usVerse 3
Praise to the Lord
O let all that is in us adore him
All that has life and breath
Come now with praises before him
Let the “Amen”
Sound from his people again
Now as we worship before him

At Thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee.

Communion Hymn

Be Not Afraid

Verse 1
You shall cross the barren desert
But you shall not die of thirst
You shall wander far in safety
Though you do not know the way
You shall speak your words in foreign lands
And all will understand
You shall see the face of God and liveRefrain
Be not afraid
I go before you always
Come follow Me
And I will give you restVerse 2
If you pass through raging waters in the sea
You shall not drown
If you walk amid the burning flames
You shall not be harmed
If you stand before the pow'r of hell
And death is at your side
Know that I am with you through it allRefrain
Be not afraid
I go before you always
Come follow Me
And I will give you restVerse 3
Blessed are your poor
For the kingdom shall be theirs
Blessed are you that weep and mourn
For one day you shall laugh
And if wicked tongues insult and hate you
All because of Me
Blessed, blessed are you!Refrain
Be not afraid
I go before you always
Come follow Me
And I will give you rest
