Long in darkness we have waited,
For the shining of the light;
Long have felt the things we hated,
Sink us still in deeper night.
Blessed Jesus, loving Savior!
Tender, faithful, strong and true,
Break the fetters that have bound us,
Make us in Thyself anew.
Now, at last, the Light appeareth,
Jesus stands upon the shore;
And with tender voice, He calleth,
Come to Me and sin no more!
Nothing have we, but our weakness,
Naught but sorrow, sin and care;
All within is loathsome vileness,
All without is dark despair.
All our talents we have wasted,
All Thy laws have disobeyed,
But Thy goodness now we've tasted,
In Thy robes we stand arrayed.
Thou hast saved us--do Thou keep us,
Guide us by Thine eye divine;
Let the Holy Spirit teach us,
That our light may ever shine.
Long in darkness we have waited,
For the shining of the light;
Long have felt the things we hated,
Sink us still in deeper night.
Blessed Jesus, loving Savior!
Tender, faithful, strong and true,
Break the fetters that have bound us,
Make us in Thyself anew.

In all we do, and hear, and see,
Is restless Toil and Vanity.
While yet the rolling earth abides,
Men come and go like ocean tides;
And ere one generation dies,
Another in its place shall rise;
That, sinking soon into the grave,
Others succeed, like wave on wave;
And as they rise, they pass away.
The sun arises every day,
And, hastening onward to the West,
He nightly sinks, but not to rest:
Returning to the eastern skies,
Again to light us, he must rise.
And still the restless wind comes forth,
Now blowing keenly from the North;
Now from the South, the East, the West,
For ever changing, ne'er at rest.
The fountains, gushing from the hills,
Supply the ever-running rills;
The thirsty rivers drink their store,
And bear it rolling to the shore,
But still the ocean craves for more.
'Tis endless labor everywhere!
Sound cannot satisfy the ear,
Light cannot fill the craving eye,
Nor riches half our wants supply;
Pleasure but doubles future and pain,
And joy brings sorrow in her train;
Laughter is mad, and reckless mirth--
What does she in this weary earth?
Should Wealth, or Fame, our Life employ,
Death comes, our labor to destroy;
To snatch the untasted cup away,
For which we toiled so many a day.
What, then, remains for wretched man?
To use life's comforts while he can,
Enjoy the blessings Heav'n bestows,
Assist his friends, forgive his foes;
Trust God, and keep His statutes still,
Upright and firm, through good and ill;
Thankful for all that God has giv'n,
Fixing his firmest hopes on Heav'n;
Knowing that earthly joys decay,
But hoping through the darkest day.
Hoping through the darkest day.

Light of light, enlighten me
Now anew the day is dawning
Sun of grace, the shadows flee
Brighten Thou my Sabbath morning
Fountain of all our joy and peace
To Thy living waters lead me
Thou from earth my soul release
And with grace and mercy feed me
Bless Thy word, that it may prove
Rich in fruits that Thou dost love
With Thy joyous sunshine blest
Happy is my day of rest
With Thy joyous sunshine blest
Happy is my day of rest
Light of light, Sun of grace
Fountain of all our joy and peace
Kindle thou the sacrifice
That upon my lips is lying
Clear the shadows from my eyes
That, from every error flying
No strange fire may in me glow
That Thine altar doth not know
Light of light, Sun of grace
Fountain of all our joy and peace
Hence all care, all vanity
For the day to God is holy
Come, Thou glorious majesty
Deign to fill this temple lowly
Let me with my heart today
Holy, Holy, Holy singing
Rapt awhile from earth away
All my soul to Thee upbringing
Rest in me, and I in Thee
Build a paradise within me
O reveal Thyself to me
Blessed Love, who diedst to win me
Have a foretaste inly given
How they worship Thee in heaven
Fed from Thine exhaustless urn
Pure and bright my lamp shall burn
Light of light, Sun of grace
Fountain of all our joy and peace

here's a promise from the Lord
'Tis recorded in His Word
That the faithful He'll reward
And that promise I believe
Oh, my heart is full of son
I am singing all day long
In my weakness I am strong
For my strength is in the Lord
Oh, His wondrous grace to me
Shall my theme for ever be
With His blood He made me free
I am happy in His love
To the palace gates on high
He will guide me with His eye
I shall see Him by and by
And in glory at His feet
I delight in weakness!
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I am trusting in the Lord
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I am trusting in the Lord
Praise His name, praise His name!

Like the roaring lion
Like the eagle in the sky
The Metal and the Iron
Raise the banner high
His word is true and holy
His promises secure
He comforts the poor and lonely
He strengthens and makes pure
Hail hail - more hail
To God - Soli Deo Gloria
Bible Based Death Metal
His eyes are upon us
In his hands we are safe
We fear not Satan and no evil
We ride on the winds and waves
We glorify his holiness
Pounding Metal shall prevail
Praise him in music and in life
Death Metal in our veins
Hail hail - more hail
To God - Soli Deo Gloria
He gave his life to set us free
Heavy Metal for all eternity
By his blood - freedom rings
We fly on holy wings
Hail him the King of Kings
Bible Based Death Metal
Hail him the King of Kings

Oh! Echoes of glory
From angels so fair
Listen to the music
That floats in the air
Soli Deo Gloria - SDG
Echoes of glory are ringing
Down thro' the gates so fair
News of sweet rest they are bringing
To hearts that are weary with care
Echoes of glory are sweetly
Coming to cheer the weak
Filling the soul thus completely
With love that the sorrowing seek
Echoes of glory come ever
Telling of rest at last
When we shall cross o'er the river
And life with its turmoil is past
Oh! Echoes of glory
From angels so fair
Listen to the music
That floats in the air

Guide My Ways
04:03
|
|||
O that the Lord would guide my ways
To keep His statutes still!
O that my God would grant me grace
To know and do His will!
O send Thy Spirit down to write
Thy law upon my heart!
Nor let my tongue indulge deceit
Nor act the liar's part
O guide my ways
O grant me grace
From vanity turn off my eyes
Let no corrupt design
Nor covetous desires, arise
Within this soul of mine
Order my footsteps by Thy Word
And make my heart sincere
Let sin have no dominion, Lord
But keep my conscience clear
O guide my ways
O grant me grace
My soul hath gone too far astray
My feet too often slip
Yet since I've not forgot Thy way
Restore Thy wand'ring sheep
Make me to walk in Thy commands
'Tis a delightful road
Nor let my hand, or heart, or hands
Offend against my God
O guide my ways
O grant me grace

Arise And Shine
05:25
|
|||
Arise and shine! Thy light is come
The glory of the Lord is risen upon our gloom
Arise and shine! Thy light is come
The glory of the Lord is risen upon our gloom
Out of darkness into light
Jesus calls the sons of night
Out of midnight into day
Jesus bids us come away
From the prison house of sin
From the power without, within
From this mortal weariness
Jesus calls to Joy and peace
Arise and shine! Thy light is come
The glory of the Lord is risen upon our gloom
Arise and shine! Thy light is come
The glory of the Lord is risen upon our gloom
From this world's alluring snares
From its perils and its cares
From its vanity and strife
Jesus beckons us to life
From the vanity of youth
Into rest and love and truth
Into joy that never palls
Jesus now in mercy calls
Arise and shine! Thy light is come
The glory of the Lord is risen upon our gloom
Arise and shine! Thy light is come
The glory of the Lord is risen upon our gloom

To Conquer Death
04:30
|
|||
Born to bless us, born to save!
Praise His name with joyful breath!
Sing through life, nor fear the grave!
Jesus lives to conquer death!
Every birth is changed from hence
Each may take a pathway bright
Reaching soon the tomb, but thence
Issuing in unfading light
We fly on wings of hope!
To conquer death!
Humblest cradles now shall show
Clearly show to loving eyes
Oft while tears of rapture flow
Flowerets born for Paradise
Parents now shall sink to rest
Hoping soon to clasp in Heaven
Lovely as a seraph blest
Every child whom God hath given
Parents, children, young and old
If but strong in faith and love
Shall, with gratitude untold
Oft foretaste the joys above
We fly on wings of hope!
To conquer death!
Lowly Babe of Bethlehem!
Glorious Lord of life and light!
Humble branch of Jesse's stem!
God! Thy grace is infinite
We fly on wings of hope!
To conquer death!

The Hope Of The Ages
04:58
|
|||
Jesus comes, He comes in glory
Echoes through the ages hoary
Blessed hope and thrilling story
Hallelujah! Jesus comes!
Jesus comes, the dead are waking
Earth with mortal pangs is quaking
Stars are falling, heavens shaking
Hallelujah! Jesus comes!
Hope of all the ages past
King of kings, He comes at last
Up, ye saints of God awaking!
See the morning light is breaking!
Jesus comes, in clouds descending
Sins restraining, sorrow ending
Broken ties forever mending
Hallelujah! Jesus comes!
Jesus comes, all things restoring
Cry aloud, His grace imploring
Bow the knee, the King adoring
Hallelujah! Jesus comes!
Jesus comes, He comes in glory
Jesus comes, the dead are waking
Jesus comes, in clouds descending
Jesus comes, all things restoring

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly trust in Jesus' name
On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all my hope and stay
When darkness seems to hide His face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds...
When He shall come with trumpet sound
Oh may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone
Faultless to stand before the throne
On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
|

12. |

A fountain of life and of grace
In Christ our Redeemer we see
For us who His offers embrace
For all it is open and free!
Jehovah Himself doth invite
To drink of His pleasures unknown
The streams of immortal delight
That flow from His heavenly throne
As soon as in Him we believe
By faith of His Spirit we take
And freely forgiven, receive
The mercy for Jesus' sake
We gain a pure drop of His love
The life of eternity know
Angelical happiness prove
And witness a heaven below

Be Ye Reconciled
04:34
|
|||
I am a stranger here
Within a foreign land
My home is far away
Upon a golden strand
Ambassador to be
Of realms beyond the sea
I'm here on business for my king
This is the message that I bring
A message angels fain would sing
Thus saith my Lord and king
Oh, be ye reconciled to God
This is the King's command
That all men, everywhere
Repent and turn away
From sin's seductive snare
That all who will obey
With Him shall reign for aye
And that's my business for my king
My home is brighter far
Than Sharon's rosy plain
Eternal life and joy
Throughout its vast domain
My sovereign bids me tell
Tow mortals there may dwell
And that's my business for my king

Death Is Destroyed
07:04
|
|||
Led like a lamb - to the slaughter in silence and shame
There on your back - you carried a world of violence and pain
Bleeding, dying, bleeding, dying
Jesus is alive, he washed away our sins
He died for you, for you to be alive
666 - a number lost symbolic value
Hallelujah, death is destroyed
At the break of dawn - poor Mary still weeping she came
When though her grief - she heard your voice now speaking her name
Mary, Master, Mary, Master
Jesus is alive, he washed away our sins
He died for you, for you to be alive
666 - a number lost symbolic value
Hallelujah, death is destroyed
At the right hand - of the father now seated on high
You have begun - your eternal reign of justice and joy
Glory, Glory, Glory, Glory
Jesus is alive, he washed away our sins
He died for you, for you to be alive
666 - a number lost symbolic value
Hallelujah, death is destroyed
