All my Hope on God is Founded
All People that on Earth do Dwell
Draw Near and Take the Body of the Lord
Glorious Things of Thee are Spoken
God is Working His Purpose Out
He's Got the Whole World in His Hand
Holy God we Praise Thy Name
Holy Holy Holy
How Can I Keep from Singing
I Sing the Mighty Power of God
Immortal Invisible God Only Wise
Jesus Shall Reign Where'er the Sun
