Anabaptist Festival Choir - Songs of Love, Hope, and Peace

Give to our God immortal praise. Mercy and truth are all in His way. Wonders of grace to God belong; repeat His mercies in your song.

Give to the Lord of lords renown, the King of kings, with glory crown. His mercies shall endure when lords and kings are known no more.

He builds the earth, He spread the sky, and fixed the starry lights on high. Wonders of grace to God belong; repeat His mercies in your song. He paid His mercies in your song. He fills the sun with glorious light; He builds the moon direct the night.

His mercies ever shines and shines and shines and shines and shines and shines and shines and shines and do.

His mercies shine and shine and do. He sent His son to save from gift and darkness and the grey. Wonders of grace to God belong; repeat His mercies in your song. He paid His mercies in your song.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

Amen.

Heart and thoughts and hearts and voices of the notes of praise above. Jesus reigns and Him rejoices; Jesus reigns, the God of love. Cities and land are thrown; Jesus rules over the low. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Amen.

Sing. Sing how Jesus came from heaven; how He bore the cross below. How all power to Him is given; how He reigns in glory now. 'Tis a great and endless thing; for too sweet to sing of Him. Hallelujah.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Amen. Jesus said, Jesus said, Jesus said. Jesus said.

Jesus said, whose glory brightens all above and gives it worth. Lord of life, that smile enlightens; choose and charms that sits on earth. When we think of love—when we think of love—we're gone. Lord, we owe His love; Lord, we owe His love divine.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

King of glory—King of glory—reign forever. Thine and everlasting crown. Nothing from thy thoughts shall sever those who doubt; let us make thy hope. Happy are the objects of thy grace, destined to behold thy face. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Amen.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Amen.

Sing your hymns, and thine abysses will bring the voice in. When the arms of the teary heaven shall shove away, then with golden hearts we'll sing: glory, glory, glory to our King. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

Amen. Amen.

Amen.

I want to take this time to thank you for allowing us to be here and to sing and to honor and glorify God. And it's our desire today to praise the King who has saved us, who has brought salvation to us. And our prayer is that you could be blessed this morning. So worship with us.

Lost in trees spreads His greeting; cannot be fulfilled between the swarm and sky.

Not in selfish vanity, but with gentle touch we'll share and shelter so addicts with love. For when we love, still we love; when we love, even as we are loved, weary world can be transformed.

A busy brush builds her nest for dusty birds. A busy brush of foreplanes work to weave and set.

And for herself alone, a turntender brood to shape.

Then cherish so addicts with love. For when we love, still we love; when we love, even as we are loved, weary world can be transformed. Into the kingdom of God.

For when we love, we love; when we love, even as we are loved, weary world can be transformed. Into the kingdom of God.

And can it be, and can it be, how amazing love, how can it be? And can it be that I should gain an interest in the Savior's blood? Died He for me who caused His pain, for me who Him to death pursued.

How graceful love, how can it be that thou my God should die for me?

He left His Father's throne above; so free, so it is that death is waiting for me. He bent Himself above us all, bent Himself above us all, and bent for our thou thou thou sake. His mercies all immense and free for all my God.

It found out me in Him.

How can it be? How can it be? Amazing love, how can it be?

No condemnation now I dwell. Jesus and all in Him is my God. Alive in Him I live in heaven, and golden righteousness divine.

Oh, I am not eternal throne, and I'll claim my throne through Christ as my own God. And unhearing His love, how can it be that thou art all my God? That thou my God should die

for me? Amazing love, how can it be? Amazing love, how can it be?

I once was lost, I once was lost, and now am found.

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretched like me. I once was lost, and now am found. Was blind, and now I see.

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved. How precious is that grace of near the hour I first met. I once was lost, I once was lost. Through many dangers, doubts, and sins, I have already come to squeeze that prompting safeness known, and grace will heal me whole. The Lord hath promised good to me; His word I know secure.

He will my shield and portion be as long as life endures.

As long as life endures.

Yeah, when this wretched heart shall fail, and mortal life shall cease, I shall possess within the villa life of joy and peace. I shall possess within the villa life of joy and peace.

I once was lost,

and now am found.

The King of love my shepherd is, whose goodness fell and never. By nothing lack if I am rich, that He is mine forever.

When streams of living water flow, my runs unsold believe. And when the woods and pastures grow, with food celestial feed them.

And so through all the length of days, thy goodness fell and never. Whose shepherd may I sing thy praise within thy house forever?

How great a chasm that lay between us! How high the mountain I could not climb. In desperation I turned to heaven, and spoke your name into the night. And through the darkness, your loving kindness tore through the shadows of my soul.

The work is finished, the end is written. Jesus Christ, my living hope. Who could imagine so great a mercy as thou the Father such boundless grace thou not obeyed? Not obeyed! That thou hast brought unknown law to where my sin, to where my sin and my shame.

The cross hast spoken, I have forgiven. The King of kings taught me his own. Beautiful Savior, I'm yours forever. I'm yours forever, Jesus Christ, my living hope. Hallelujah! Praise thou one who set me free. Hallelujah! Death hath lost his grip on me. You have broken every chain. There's salvation in your name, Jesus Christ, my living hope.

When came the morning that sealed thou promise, your merry body began to breathe. How dull the silence! The roaring lion declared the grave has no claim on me. Then came the morning that sealed thou promise, your merry body began to breathe. How dull the silence! The lion declared the grave has no claim on me.

Jesus, yours is the victory. Yours is the victory. Hallelujah! Praise thou one who set me free. Hallelujah! Death hath lost his grip on me. You have broken every chain. There's salvation in your name, Jesus Christ, my living hope. Jesus Christ, my living hope.

You are my living hope.

Let the weak say I am strong. Let the poor say I am rich. Let the blind say I can see. What the Lord has done in me. Let the weak say I am strong. Let the poor say I am rich. Let the blind say I can see.

What the Lord has done in me. Let the weak say I am strong. Let the poor say I am rich. Let the blind say I can see. What the Lord has done in me. Hosannah, Hosannah to the Lamb that was slain.

Hosannah, Hosannah. Jesus died and rose again. Hosannah, Hosannah to the Lamb that was slain. Hosannah, Hosannah. Jesus died and rose again. Jesus died and rose again. Jesus died and rose again. Jesus died and rose again.

Jesus died and rose again.

Let's stand and sing number 720.

Help no me! The sands of time were sinking the corn of heaven grace. The sun newborn I signed for the fair sweet morn I'll raise. Dark, dark and thin the midnight, the day spring is at hand. And glory, glory dwelleth in Emmanuel's land.

O Christ, He is the fountain of deep sweet well of love. The springs on earth I tasted fordeep outring above. There too an ocean fullness His mercy doth expand. And glory, glory dwelleth in Emmanuel's land.

Oh, I am thy the awaited mighty daughter's wife. He brings a poor of sinners into His house of wine. I stand upon His merit, I know no other stand. Now a deep where glory dwelleth in Emmanuel's land.

The brightest water guaranteth the earthy bright room stays. I will not gate at glory but on my King of grace. Not at the crown He giveth, but on His pierced hand. The Lamb is of the glory of Emmanuel's land.

Just wanted to take a little bit of time to explain a little bit who we are, who is Annabaptist Festival Choir, and honestly, it's just a name that we put so we could have something to say to people when we ask to use their building and such like. So nothing too high and lofty there. Our vision is to serve the broader Annabaptist community by providing opportunities to sing and to worship through good choral music. So whether that's you as an audience worshiping or worshiping up here and also just learning music, just a time to collaborate. All ages and ranges of experience, just to come together in our commonalities.

It is our mission to honor God through music, to inspire, uplift, and draw our audience's mind to God, and to provide like-minded musicians a place to learn, grow, and utilize the talents that God has given them. So that's who we are. It was the brainchild of four of us: myself, Josh Martin, Aaron Stright, Kevin Beachy. Aaron and I are from the Cumberland Valley area here. So it's our hope that you can worship with us here this morning as we sing for you. If you do decide to donate, we're not necessarily taking an offering, I don't believe. There is a QR code.

There's a few expenses for this weekend, not a lot. Most of that's covered, and we want to put as much as possible towards new music composition. So a little bit about us. Continue worshiping with us.

To the hills I will lift my nights, and I am not afraid. To the hills I will lift my nights, and I am not afraid. To the hills I will lift my nights, and I am not afraid. to the hills I will lift my nights, and I am not afraid.

Be it sun by day or the moon by night, my courage will not fade. Be it sun by day or the moon by night, I am not afraid. To the hills I will lift my nights, and I am not afraid. To the hills I will lift my nights, and I am not afraid.

In the morning smile or the evening veil, my courage will not fade. In the morning smile or the evening veil, I am not afraid. To the hills I will lift my nights, and I am not afraid. To the hills I will lift my nights, and I am not afraid.

Oh, guide my feet and guard my way, my courage will not fade. Oh, guide my feet and guard my way, I am not afraid. To the hills I will lift my nights, and I am not afraid. To the hills I will lift my nights, and I am not afraid.

To the hills I will lift my nights, and

How many of you have people in your lives who deal with dementia, or you know people? Raise your hand. And raise your hand if you all have. So it's something that connects us, and we don't talk about it a lot. And this next song brings hope.

Pardon me. A few years ago, my wife and I had the privilege to have her grandmother living with us for a few months. And caregivers have a lot of weight on their shoulders, and yet the hope of heaven and legacies living on. Just be blessed by the words. It's a different song we don't sing about a lot, but I think it's important. So worship with us.

When memory fades and recognition falters, when eyes green love grow dim and minds confused, speak to our souls of love that never alters. Speak to our hearts by pain and fear abused. O God of life and healing, peace empower us with patient courage by your grace infused.

As grandness grows and youthful strengths diminish, in weary arms which were terror-ness filled, your aging servants labor not to finish their earthly tasks as fits your ministry's will. We grieve their waning, yet rejoice believing. Your arms unwearied shall uphold us still.

Your arms unwearied shall uphold us still.

Within your spirit, goodness lives unfading. The past and future mingle into one. All joys remain unshadowed, light pervading. No valued deed will ever be undone. Your mind enfolds all finite acts and offerings. Held in your heart, your deathless life is one.

When memory fades and recognition falters, your arms unwearied shall uphold us still.

Do not be afraid.

Do not be afraid.

Do not be afraid.

Do not be afraid.

For I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name. You are mine. You are mine.

When the fear of loneliness is looming, then remember I am at your side. When you dwell in the exilable stranger, remember you are precious in my eyes. Do not be afraid.

Do not be afraid.

For I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name. You are mine. You are mine. You are mine, O my child.

Oh, I am your Father, and I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you with a perfect love, a perfect love.

Do not be afraid.

Do not be afraid.

For I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name. You are mine. You are mine.

You are mine.

When peace like a river attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows row, whatever my lost thou hast taught me to say, it is well, it is well with my soul.

It is well with my soul. With my soul. It is well, it is well with my soul.

Those sentence should buffet, though trial should come, let this best assurance control, that Christ of regard yet my helpless estate, and that shed is of blood for my soul. It is well with my soul. With my soul. It is well, it is well with my soul.

My sin, for the bliss of this glorious doctor, I sin not in part, but the whole is nailed to his cross, and I bear it no more. Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul.

It is well with my soul. With my soul. It is well, it is well with my soul.

And Lord, hast the day when my fate shall be sung, the clouds be rowed back as a troll, the trumpet shall resound, and the Lord shall be sound. Even so, it is well with my soul.

It is well with my soul. With my soul. It is well, it is well with my soul.

It is well with my soul. With my soul. It is well, it is well with my soul.

In the name of the Three, the Three, You are one. By the will of the King, of the King, of God.

Thy shall lay me down in peace and take my rest. Thy shall lay me down in peace and take my rest. If I close my eyes, I shall sleep and rest.

If I close my mouth, my eyes, I shall sleep and rest.

Imagine, imagine, imagine.

Fair are the meadows, fair are the woodlands, thrilled in flowers of blooming spring.

Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer, he makes our sorrowing spirit sleep.

Beautiful Savior, Lord of the nations, Son of God and Son of man.

Glory and honor, praise and adoration, now and forevermore be done. Now and forever, now and forevermore. Be done.
