NCC Family,
Welcome to our eighth virtual hymn-sing! Music and lyrics are below. I hope you continue to enjoy singing together! As always, don’t be shy–sing out loud and strong from your home computer!
Psalm 135:3 – “Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing praise to his name, for that is pleasant.”
Keep sending me your requests and keep singing!
Blessings,

Father Abraham
For “littles” and “young at heart”
LYRICS
Father Abraham had many kids, Many kids had Father Abraham.
I am one of them and so are you. So let’s just praise the Lord!

Add the next body action to each verse)
Right arm!
Left arm!
Right foot!
Left foot!
Chin up!
Turn around!
Sit down!
Crown Him with Many Crowns
LYRICS
1. Crown him with many crowns, the Lamb upon his throne.
Hark! How the heavenly anthem drowns all music but its own.
Awake, my soul and sing of him who died for thee,
And hail him as thy matchless King through all eternity.
2. Crown him the Lord of life, who triumphed o’er the grave,
And rose victorious in the strife for those he came to save;
His glories now we sing who died and rose on high,
Who died, eternal life to bring, and lives that death may die.
4. Crown him the Lord of love, behold his hands and side,
Those wounds, yet visible above, in beauty glorified.
All hail, Redeemer, hail! For thou hast died for me;
Thy praise and glory shall not fail throughout eternity.
On Eagle’s Wings
LYRICS
1. You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord,
who abide in God’s shadow for life,
Say to the Lord: “My refuge, my rock in whom I trust!”
Refrain:
“And I will raise you up on eagle’s wings,
bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
and hold you in the palm of my hand.”
2. The snare of the fowler will never capture you,
and famine will bring you no fear;
Under God’s wings your refuge,
God’s faithfulness your shield.
Refrain
3. You need not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day;
though thousands fall about you,
near you it shall not come.
Refrain
4. For to God’s angels is given a command
to guard you in all of your ways;
Upon their hands they will bear you up,
lest you dash your foot against a stone.
Refrain
Spirit
LYRICS
Refrain:
Spirit, Spirit of gentleness, blow through the wilderness; calling and free,
Spirit, Spirit of restlessness, stir me from placidness, wind on the sea.
1. You moved on the waters, you called to the deep,
You coaxed up the mountains from the valleys of sleep,
And over the eons you called to each thing,
“Awake from your slumbers and rise on your wings.”
Refrain
2. You swept through the desert, you stung with the sand,
And you gifted your people with a law and a land.
When they were confounded with idols and lies,
Then you spoke through your prophets to open their eyes.
Refrain
3. You sang in the stable, you cried from a hill,
Then you whispered in silence when the whole world was still.
And down in the city you called once again
When you blew through your people on the rush of the wind.
Refrain
4. You call from tomorrow, you break ancient schemes,
From the bondage of sorrow the captives dream dreams;
Our women see visions, our men clear their eyes.
With bold new decisions your people arise.
Refrain
