13. I know that while in heaven He stands No tongue can bid me thence depart

14. When Satan tempts me to despair, And tells me of the guilt within,

15. Upward I look, and see Him there Who made an end of all my sin.

16. Because a sinless Savior died, My sinful soul is counted free,

17. For God, the Just, is satisfied To look on Him and pardon me

18. Behold Him there, the risen Lamb My perfect, spotless Righteousness,

19. The great unchangeable I am, The King of glory and of grace!

20. One with Himself, I cannot die My soul is purchased by His blood

34. O praise the name of the Lord our God O praise His name forevermore
He shall return in robes of white,
The blazing Son shall pierce the night.
And I will rise among the saints,
My gaze transfixed on Jesus' face
O praise the name of the Lord our God
O praise His name forevermore
For endless days we will sing Your praise
Oh Lord, oh Lord our God

For endless days we will sing Your praise
Oh Lord, oh Lord our God
O praise the name of the Lord our God
O praise His name forevermore
For endless days, we will sing Your praise
Oh Lord, oh Lord our God
Then on the third at break of dawn,
The Son of heaven rose again.
O trampled death, where is your sting?
The angels roar for Christ the King
His body bound and drenched in tears
They laid Him down in Joseph's tomb.
The entrance sealed by heavy stone
Messiah still and all alone
O praise the name of the Lord our God
O praise His name forevermore
For endless days, we will sing Your praise
Oh Lord, oh Lord our God
I cast my mind to Calvary
Where Jesus bled and died for me.
I see His wounds, His hands, His feet.
My Saviour on that cursed tree
