Christian Song Lyrics

1. When morning gilds the skies, My heart awaking cries: May Jesus Christ be praised! Alike at work and prayer, to Jesus I repair: May Jesus Christ be praised! 2. Does sadness fill my mind? A solace here I find: May Jesus Christ be praised! Or fades my earthly bliss? My comfort still is this: May Jesus Christ be praised! 3. Ye nations of mankind, in this your concord find: May Jesus Christ be praised! Let all the earth around ring joyous with the sound: May Jesus Christ be praised!

  When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of glory died My richest gain I count but loss And pour contempt on all my pride Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast Save in the death of Christ my God All the vain things that charm me most I sacrifice them to His blood See from His head, His hands, His feet Sorrow and love flow mingled down Did e’er such love and sorrow meet Or thorns compose so rich a crown Were the whole realm of nature mine That were an offering far too small Love so amazing, so divine Demands my soul, my life, my all Love so amazing, so divine Demands my soul, my life, my all

 1. What a friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer! Oh, what peace we often forfeit, Oh, what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer. 2. Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged; Take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness; Take it to the Lord in prayer.

 1. Were you there when they crucified my Lord? Were you there when they crucified my Lord? Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble Were you there when they crucified my Lord? 2. Were you there when they nailed him to the tree? Were you there when they nailed him to the tree? Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble Were you there when they nailed him to the tree? 3. Were you there when they laid him in the tomb? Were you there when they laid him in the tomb? Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble Were you there when they laid him in the tomb? 4. Were you there when he rose up from the grave? Were you there when he rose up from the grave? Oh! Sometimes I feel like shouting glory, glory, glory! Were you there when he rose up from the grave?

 1. We shall overcome, We shall overcome, We shall overcome someday; Deep in my heart, I do believe, We shall overcome someday. 2. We'll walk hand in hand, We'll walk hand in hand, We'll walk hand in hand today; Deep in my heart, I do believe, We'll walk hand in hand today. 3. We shall live in peace, We shall live in peace, We shall live in peace someday; Deep in my heart, I do believe, We shall live in peace someday.

1. We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing; He chastens and hastens his will to make known. The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing; Sing praises to his Name, he forgets not his own. 2. We all do extol thee, thou leader triumphant And pray that thou still our defender wilt be. Let thy congregation escape tribulation; Thy name be ever praised; O Lord, make us free!
