Worship in Music (8:30) Choral Worship “Passacaglia of Praise” Craig Courtney The Sanctuary Choir; Michelle Cook, flute I will praise Thee, O my Savior, I will magnify Thy name; Yea, my heart and tongue rejoicing, Thy salvation shall proclaim. I will praise Thee, O my Savior, and Thy wondrous love recall: Thou hast covered my transgressions by Thy off’ring once for all. For Thy gift by faith that saves me, precious gift of grace so free, shall my soul pour out its fullness in a grateful song to Thee. Thou hast covered my transgressions with Thy righteousness divine. Through Thy mercy I was pardoned, cleansed and made a child of Thine. I will praise Thee, O my Savior, till my mortal pow’rs shall fail; then in nobler strains I’ll praise Thee when I anchor in the vale. For Thy gift by faith that saves me, precious gift of grace so free, shall my soul pour out its fullness in a grateful song to Thee. ©Text by Fanny Crosby
