Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless God’s holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless God’s holy name! God has done great things, God has done great things, God has done great things, bless God’s holy name!

Congregational Hymn

O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made, I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy pow'r throughout the universe displayed

Refrain:

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee; How great Thou art, how great Thou art! Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee; How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

When through the woods and forest glades I wander And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees; When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze; Refrain

And when I think that God, his Son not sparing, Sent him to die, I scarce can take it in; That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, he bled and died to take away my sin; Refrain

When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart! Then I shall bow in humble adoration

And there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art! Refrain

Recessional

“When We All Get to Heaven”

Sing the wondrous love of Jesus Sing his mercy and His grace; In the mansions bright and blessed he'll prepare for us a place.

Refrain:

When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be!

When we all see Jesus, we'll sing and shout the victory!

While we walk the pilgrim pathway Clouds will overspread the sky; But when trav'ling days are over Not a shadow, not a sigh. Refrain

Let us then be true and faithful, Trusting, serving ev'ry day; Just one glimpse of Him in glory Will the toils of life repay. Refrain

Onward to the prize before us! Soon His beauty we'll behold;

Soon the pearly gates will open– We shall tread the streets of gold. Refrain
