Song: All Things New CCLI #5448157
Come Lord and tarry not; bring the long looked for day;
O why these years of waiting here, these ages of decay?
Come for thy saints still wait; daily ascends their sigh;
The Spirit and the Bride say “Come”, dost thou not hear the cry?
CHORUS:
O come and make all things new, come and make all things new
O come and make all things new, build up this ruined Earth,
Come and make all things new
Come for creation groans, impatient of thy stay
Worn out with these long years of ill, these ages of delay.
Come for love waxes cold, its steps are faint and slow;
Faith now is lost in unbelief, Hope’s lamp burns dim and low.

Song: Give Reviving CCLI #5706868
Father for Thy promised blessing, Still we plead before Thy throne
For the times of, sweet refreshing, Which can come from Thee alone
Blessed earnests, Thou hast given, But in these we would not rest
Blessings still with Thee are hidden, Pour them forth and make us blest!
Prayer ascendeth to Thee ever, Answer! Father, answer prayer
Bless oh bless each weak endeavor, Blood-bought pardon to declare
Wake Thy slumbering children, wake them, Bid them to Thy harvest go
Blessings O our Father make, Round their steps let blessings flow
Let no people be forgotten, Let Thy showers on all descend
That in one loud blessed anthem, millions may in triumph blend
Give reviving, give refreshing, Give the looked-for Jubilee
To Thyself may crowds be pressing, Bringing glory unto Thee
