He broke our bonds, He crushed our pain!
The Father’s grace, in power divine,
Has brought us to His Son’s design.

O Jesus Christ, our glorious Lord,
Your blood has won our soul’s reward!
Through sacrifice, our guilt is gone,
Forgiveness flows where love has shone.

No shadow stands where light prevails,
Your cross, O Christ, forever hails!
Redeemed, we rise, by mercy free,
All glory to our King shall be!

With joyful hearts, we sing Your praise,
Exalt Your name through endless days.
In You, our hope shall never dim,
Jesus, our Redeemer’s hymn!

With heaven’s presence constant at its side.

For in divine embrace the soul abides.
Though tempests roar and shadows veil the light,
Their steps are firm, the spirit stands secure.
God’s might upholds the soul through fiercest fight,
A shield of grace, eternal and pure.
No doubt can shake the trust the soul holds dear,
For God, its refuge, kindles sacred flame.
Joy fills the heart where faith forever clears,
And lifts all burdens to a holy name.
With eyes on God, the soul treads sacred way,
Unshaken, held by love that none can sway.

Lift thine eyes where hope does rise,
Beyond the self, where shadows flee.
The Spirit calls through morning skies,
To Christ alone—thy victory.

No sin too vast, no faith too small,
No wavering heart can dim His grace.
Satan’s whispers fade, his doubts forestall,
When Jesus’ merits fill thy gaze.

Not thy grip, nor joy, nor fervent plea,
But Christ’s own blood thy soul does free.
His cross, His wounds, His glory be
The anchor of eternity.

Turn from within, where fears abide,
And rest in Him who bore thy shame.
Each dawn, each night, let Christ abide,
His love thy peace, His name thy flame.

Follow close, with eyes held high,
To Jesus, source of hope’s bright call.
In Him alone thy soul shall fly,
For Christ, thy all, is all in all.

—1 Thessalonians 5:18

When morning’s glow does kiss the verdant earth,
And life’s delights like petals soft unfold,
We raise our song, a hymn of boundless worth,
To laud our Savior, whose warm light we hold.

When clouds descend and bitter winds assail,
With trials sharp as thorns on rugged ground,
Yet hope’s clear flame no tempest can curtail,
We praise our Lord, in whom our strength is found.

In sunlit joy or twilight’s quiet pain,
Through laughter’s dance or sorrow’s silent stream,
Give thanks, the soul in every moment gains,
For grace divine paints beauty in each dream.

In all we face, this truth shall ever call:
His boundless love, forever, crowns it all.
