Let Us Exalt His Name Together
Verse 1
At all times I will bless Him
His praise will be in my mouth
My soul makes its boast in the Lord
The humble man will hear Him
The afflicted will be glad
And join with me to magnify the LordChorus
Let us exalt His name together forever
I sought the Lord, He heard me
And delivered me from my fears
Let us exalt His name together forever
Oh, sing His praises magnify the LordVerse 2
The angel of the Lord encamps
'Round those who fear His name
To save them and deliver them from harm
Though lions roar with hunger
We lack of no good thing
No wonder then we praise Him with our songChorus
Let us exalt His name together forever
I sought the Lord, He heard me
And delivered me from my fears
Let us exalt His name together forever
Oh, sing His praises magnify the LordVerse 3
Come children now and hear me
If you would see long life
Just keep your lips from wickedness and lies
Do good and turn from evil
Seek peace instead of strife
Love righteousness and God will hear You cryFinal Chorus
Let us exalt His name together forever
I sought the Lord, He heard me
And delivered me from my fears
Let us exalt His name together forever
Oh, sing His praises magnify the Lord
Oh, sing His praises magnify the Lord

Offertory Hymn
He
Verse 1
He can turn the tides and calm the angry sea;
He alone decides who writes a symphony;
He lights every star that makes the darkness bright;
He keeps watch all through each long and lonely night;He still finds the time to hear a child's first prayer;
Saints or sinners call and always finds him there
Though it makes him sad to see the way we live
He'll always say, "I forgive."Verse 2
He will come to us and heal our sinful soul,
He alone says your sins I forgive you
He will light your way and make your darkness bright
He keeps watch all through the lonely years aheadHe still finds the time to wipe our tears away
Saints or sinners still He loves us all the same
Though it hurts Him much to see the way we live
He'll always say: "I forgive."Verse 3
He can grant a wish or make a dream come true;
He can paint the clouds and turn the grey to blue;
He alone knows where to find the rainbow's end;
He alone can see what lies beyond the bend;He can touch a tree and turn the leaves to gold;
He knows every lie that you and I have told
Though it makes him sad to see the way we live
He'll always say, "I forgive."

my heart to those in need.

Beloved one.Verse 5
Father I’ve returned,

knowing that you’ll sayChorus

Beloved one.
