Song 4: All creatures of our God and King
Song 1: Psalm 23

The Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want;

Verse 1 He makes me down to lie
All creatures of our God and King In pastures green; he leadeth me
Lift up your voice and with us sing The quiet waters by.
O praise Him alleluia
Thou burning sun with golden beam My soul he doth restore again,
Thou silver moon with softer gleam And me to walk doth make
O praise Him O praise Him Within the paths of righteousness,
Alleluia alleluia alleluia E'en for his own name's sake.

Verse 2 Yea, though I walk through death's dark vale,

Thou rushing wind that art so strong Yet will I fear no ill;
For thou art with me; and thy rod
Ye clouds that sail in Heav'n along
And staff me comfort still.
O praise Him alleluia
Thou rising moon in praise rejoice
My table thou hast furnishèd
Ye lights of evening find a voice
In presence of my foes;
O praise Him O praise Him My head thou dost with oil anoint,
Alleluia alleluia alleluia And my cup overflows.

Verse 3 Goodness and mercy all my life

Let all things their Creator bless Shall surely follow me;
And worship Him in humbleness And in God's house forever more
O praise Him alleluia My dwelling place shall be.
Praise praise the Father praise the Son
And praise the Spirit three in One
O praise Him O praise Him
Alleluia alleluia alleluia

Song 2: Cornerstone Song 3: O Praise the Name

Verse 1 Verse 1
My hope is built on nothing less I cast my mind to Calvary
Than Jesus blood and righteousness Where Jesus bled and died for me
I dare not trust the sweetest friend I see His wounds His hands His feet
But wholly trust in Jesus’ name My Saviour on that cursed tree
(Repeat)
Verse 2
Chorus His body bound and drenched in tears
Christ alone They laid Him down in Joseph's tomb
Cornerstone The entrance sealed by heavy stone
Weak made strong Messiah still and all alone
In the Saviour's love
Through the storm Chorus
He is Lord O praise the Name of the Lord our God
Lord of all O praise His Name forevermore
For endless days we will sing Your praise
Verse 2 Oh Lord oh Lord our God
When darkness seems to hide His face
I rest on His unchanging grace Verse 3
In every high and stormy gale Then on the third at break of dawn
My anchor holds within the veil The Son of heaven rose again
My anchor holds within the veil O trampled death where is your sting
The angels roar for Christ the King
Verse 3
When He shall come with trumpet sound Verse 4
Oh, may I then in Him be found He shall return in robes of white
Dressed in His righteousness alone The blazing sun shall pierce the night
Faultless stand before the throne And I will rise among the saints
My gaze transfixed on Jesus' face
