All hail the power of Jesus' name --
A mighty fortress is our God --
Calm on the listening ear of night --
O little town of Bethlehem --
From greenland's Icy mountains --
Speed away --
How firm a foundation --
My country, 'Tis of thee --
God bless our native land --
Jesus, lover of my soul --
Nearer, my God, to thee --
Jesus as I am --
Rock of ages --
Take my life --
My faith looks up to thee --
In the cross of Christ, I glory --
Sun of my soul --
Am I a soldier of the cross --
Stand up, stand up for Jesus --
Onward, Christian soldiers --
Awake, my soul --
Abide with me --
God be with You till we meet again --
O day of rest and gladness --
In this consecration hour --
Blest be the tie that binds --
If you cannot on the ocean --
Art thou weary, art thou languid --
Courage, brother! do not stumble --
Two empires by the sea --
Summer suns are glowing --
Behold! a stranger at the door --
Bright was the guiding star that let --
Father, let me dedicate --
Oh, could I speak the matchless worth --
Crown Him with many crowns --
O love that wilt not me go --
Jesus, the very thought of thee --
Majestic sweetness sits enthroned --
For the beauty of the earth --
Onward, Christian, though the region --
O golden day so long desired --
In the field with their flocks --
Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings --
Sweet hour of prayer --
The day of resurrection --
While thee I seek, protecting power --
I love thy kingdom, Lord --
Hail! Columbia --
The sands of time are sinking --
There are lonely hearts to Cherish --
What shall the harvest be --
The God of Abraham praise --
There's a song in the air --
When morning gilds the skies --
Somebody did a golden deed --
O God, the rock of ages --
Lord, it belongs no to my care --
O Lord, how full of sweet content --
Cast thy burden on the Lord --
The breaking waves dashed high --
There is a happy land --
I am so glad that our Father in heaven --
When He cometh --
Day by day tha manna fell --
Shout the glad tidings --
Jesus, saviour, pilot me --
Let us with a gladsome mind --
We give thee thanks, O God, this day --
Break thou the bread of life --
Still, still with thee --
Come, Disconsolate --
Oh, worship the King, all-glorious above --
We thank thee, Lord, for this fair earth -
Once in royal David's city --
While shepherds watched their flocks by night --
Great God! We sing thy mighty hand --
Father, I know that all my life --
O, where are kings and empires now --
Come, said Jesus; sacred voice --
That sweet story of Old --
The star-spangled banner --
Lord of all being, throned afar --
O God, beneath thy guiding hand --
Tell me the Old, Old story --
Glorious things of thee are spoken --
God moves in a mysterious way --
Shepherd of tender youth --
Jesus, still lead on --
O master, let me walk with thee --
I do not ask, O Lord, that life may be --
Walk in the light: so shalt thou know --
America, the beautiful --
Saviour! Teach me day by day --
Come, thou fount of every blessing --
Sunset and evening star --
Immortal love, for ever full --
Shall we gather at the river --
Throw out the life-line --
Souls of men, why will ye scatter --
Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning --
My tiems are in thy hand --
We plough the fields --
Oh, still in accents sweet and strong --
The spacious firmament on high --
When, marshaled on the nightly plain --
Father, whate'er of earthly bliss --
More love to thee, O Christ --
As shadows cast by cloud and sun --
The king of love my shpehered Is --
Prayer is the soul's sincere desire --
Thy way, not mine, O Lord --
Hark! ten thousand haprs and voices --
Fight the good fight --
Lead, kindly light --
Pass it on
