The lyrics of this C.D. are given below:

 
1. Let all the islands rise and sing
Let all the islands rise and sing
And to our God their praise bring
On strings and drum His might proclaim
To shout the glory of His name
 
We praise Him for the ocean vast
With throbbing reef and coral shore
For fish and shell and mighty whale
For all His gifts our thanks we pour
 
And when we see the stars at night
The many worlds which cross the sky
The sun and moon which give us light
We lift our hearts to God on high
 
The children playing on the shore
The sounds of laughter which we hear
Their love increasing more and more
Remind us that our God is near
 
The palms which bend towards the sky
The clouds which hurry to and fro
the birds which fly both low and high
Give joy to men on earth below
 
To God the Father, God the Son
And God the Spirit, praise be done
May Christ the Lord upon us pour
The Spirit's gift for ever more
 
 
2. Prepare ye the way of the Lord
Prepare ye the way of the Lord
 
Jesus is risen He is risen from the dead
 
Alleluia to our King
 
 
3. Gloria
Glory be to God on high, and on earth peace to men of good will. We praise you, we bless you, we worship you, we glorify you, we thank you for your great glory, O Lord God, heavenly King, God the Father Almighty, God the Father Almighty.
o Lord, the only-begotten Son Jesus Christ; O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, you take away the sin of the world, have mercy on us. O Lord, you take away the sin of the world, receive our prayer. O Lord, you sit at the right hand of God the Father, have mercy on us. have mercy on us
You only are the Holy One, you alone are Lord, you alone, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, are most high in the glory of God the Father. Amen

5. Sing praise to God on high

6. Oh Christ in thee
Oh Christ in thee my soul I have found
And found in thee alone
The peace and joy I sought so long
The blessed still unknown
 
Now none but Christ can satisfy
None other name for me
There's love and life and lasting joy
Lord Jesus found in thee
 
I sighed for rest and happiness
I yearned for them not thee
But while I passed my Saviour by
His lovely laid on me.
 
I tried the broken cisterns Lord
But ah the waters failed
Even as I stood to thy fled
And met me as I wait.
 
The pleasure lost I sadly received
But never wept for thee
Till grace the sightless eyes received
The loveliness to see

9. Like wandering sheep
Like wondering sheep over mountain cold
Since all have gone astray
To life and peace within the fold
How many found the way
 
I am the way and the truth and the life
I am the way, l am the way
I am the truth and the life
No man cometh unto the Father but by me
 
Be wondered oft with doubt and care
To God I fain would go
But while they cry to here to there
The truth how may I know
 
To Christ the way the truth the life
I come no more to to roam
He'll guide me to my Father's house
To my eternal home

12.There is a light
There is a light a blessed light
That comes from God above
And in the face of Christ the light
Reflects the Fathers love
 
Let us walk in the light
Let us walk in the light of god
 
There is a light a glorious light
That falls upon our way
And brighter shineth as we go
Till last in perfect day
 
There is a light a holy light
by which we now behold
The jasper walls the pearly gate
And streets of shining gold
 
O blessed, blessed Holy light
To all so freely given
Shine forth, shine forth O light of life
And guide us safe to heaven

21. I love to tell the story
I love to tell the story of unseen things above
Of Jesus and his glory of Jesus and his love
I love to tell the story because I know its true
It satisfies my longing as nothing else would do
 
I love to tell the story 'twill be my theme in glory
To tell the old old story of Jesus and his 1ove
 
I love to tell the story more wonderful it seems
Then all the golden fancies of all our golden dreams
I love to tell the story it did so much for me
And that is just the reason I tell it know to thee
 
I love to fell the story tis pleasant to repeat
What seems each time I tell it more wonderfully sweet
I love to tell the story for some have never heard
The message of salvation from God's own holy word
 
I love to tell the story for those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsty to hear it like the rest
And when in scenes of glory I sing the new new song
Twill be the old old story that I have loved so long
