Worship the LORD with gladness; welcome his presence here!

The earth is giving way;
Mountains fall into the sea
Waters rise against us,
We will not fear; we will not fear
God is our strength! God is our strength!
Powerless as we are, God is our strength!
God is our strength! God is our strength!
Our present help in trouble, God is our strength!
Nations rise to war;
Kingdoms plot and darkness looms.
But God lifts up His voice,
He is with us, He is with us
A River with living streams
is making glad the holy city.
For God is in the midst of her,
She won’t be moved; she won’t be moved

Come, Thou Holy Spirit, Come, Make within our hearts thy home
shed thy light and brilliancy:
Father of the poor, draw near; Giver of all gifts, be here;
come the soul's true radiancy.
Come, of comforters the best, of the soul the sweetest guest,
come in toil refreshingly:
Thou in labor, rest most sweet, Thou art shadow from the heat, comfort in adversity.
O most blessed Light Divine, Shine within these hearts of thine,
And our inmost being fill
Heal our wounds and strength renew, on our dryness pour thy dew,
renew our minds within Thy will
Sinful hearts do thou make whole, bring to life the arid soul,
guide the feet that go astray.
Make the stubborn heart unbend, to the faint new hope extend,
wounded souls, their hurt allay.
Come, Thou Holy Spirit, Come; make within our hearts thy home.

The songs were written at St. Aidan's Anglican Church in Kansas City, MO. They were recorded and made available for the use of the church. We hope these time-honored words put to fresh melody and expression can be a blessing to the body of Christ.
