1. Blessing of Glory

Words: Rev. Sun Myung Moon 1950 ; Music: Duk Chin Kim

(Listen to Midi - or WAVE-File or go back to list of Holy Songs)

Now the light of glory arises like the sun that shines on high;
Now awaken into freedom, O revive, you spirits, O revive!
Wake the mountains and the valleys; bring alive the springs of the earth.
Light the world forever with the Light of your rebirth.
Light the world forever with the Light of your rebirth.
 
We are called to bring back the glory to the life of God above;
Now the Lord in His greatness fills the universe with tender love,
Ever seeking souls awakened, ever calling them to be free.
How shall I attend Him who is calling to me?
How shall I attend Him who is calling to me?
 
From the dark of death I awaken and rejoice to live in grace;
When the one who came to save me holds me tenderly in His embrace;
How can I return the blessing? Though in all my life I will try.
I can never stop feeling how unworthy am I.
I can never stop feeling how unworthy am I!

7. Song of the Spring Breeze

Korean Song

(Listen to Midi -File or go back to list of Holy Songs)

Snow and cold wind of the bitter dark night,
Lift off the weight of your cold ruthless hand;
Spring breeze will chase you and bring flowery fragrances,
Breathing new life to the suffocated hills.
 
Though you most ruthless of winter winds blow,
Doomed in a moment you too shall be calmed;
Spring breeze will chase you and bring flowery fragrances,
Breathing new life to the suffocated hills.
 
Butterfly awake and you meadow lark of spring,
Our land has suffered this nightmare too long;
Spring breeze will chase you and bring flowery fragrances,
Breathing new life to the suffocated hills.

Words: Cho Bong Pak ; Music: Jai Hoon Pak

(Listen to Midi -File or go back to list of Holy Songs)

O, my little lambs, wandering on the lonely plain.
Someday you may fall, overcome by your despair.
Weak, wounded soul, no one will come to comfort you;
Alone, you have no one to love you, no one to bring the truth.
 
Oh, my little lambs, here is the One who heals your sins.
O, see how He carries the cross and leads the way.
Come, follow Him, He is the shepherd you have sought.
Without Him you tremble in weakness, far from the path of life.
 
Oh, my little lambs, hunger and thirst may torture you,
Receive Him completely with all that you have.
You shall be healed, Heavenly strength will fill your soul,
And deep boundless joy will swell within you eternally.
 
O, my little lambs, now is the time for joyful heart,
Sing praise to the Lord; raise your voices in strength.
Love all mankind, Love everyone throughout the world.
O give them the love that I give you, O my little lambs.

Words and music: Hyo Min Eu 1956

(Listen to Midi -File or go back to list of Holy Songs)

Now I have to come to know, I've truly come to know,
Father, how your heart is filled with tears,
For your altar stands and waits for an offering never made.
He cries through all the ages for still no offering comes,
Our Father cries in loneliness for He cannot share His heart.
 
Now I have come to know, I've truly come to know,
Father, now I know your blessed grace;
For you raised me from the darkness and gave to me new life.
I live and stand before you, but now you cry again.
My Father has to say to me,
"Go and die now in my place."
 
Now pledging I will go, determined I will go,
Father, now I'm changing to Your way,
For no other will I follow, but go my Father's way
Upon Your waiting altar I kneel without a word.
My life shall be the sacrifice;
I will faithfully obey.

Spreading forth the glory of the Father, and His great will forevermore.

	Unite, Unite, let's unite into one
	Bring about one nation uniting all the people of the world.

Raise the white cross on our banner, high upon Mt. Everest it waves;
In the blue Pacific waters, cleanse the sword that brought the victory.
Come, ye people all around the world, let's unite into one.
Now resolve to end the deep resentment, of the long centuries past
 
Build a fortress to defend the peace, on the great new heaven and new earth;
We will all sing 'Hallelujah,' safe within the bosom of the Lord.
Come, ye people all around the world, let's unite into one.
Share the joy and glory of Heaven, hidden so long from every eye.

(Listen to Midi -File or go back to list of Holy Songs)

We are the youth, soldiers of the truth, called by our God on high;

Too long the dark night of sin held in fear the people of the world,
We'll drive the darkness away, bringing in the new day.

	Lift high! Lift high! The banner of Truth on high;
	March forward crossing the sea, to the ends of the earth.

Heaven and earth all are made anew, blessed by the light of God;

This is the land of the heart, every people living as one,
Glad voices filling the land, sing a joyful song.
 
Proud is my heart bursting with my hope, we are the youth of God;
See how we go moving as one, marching at His command.
Five colors shine in the ranks, every people, every race of man.
We'll shake the heavens and earth, with our victory song.

15. March of the New Age

Words and music: Duk Chin Kim 1956

(Listen to Midi -File or go back to list of Holy Songs)

Win the whole world, heaven and earth,
God's will for all shall be fulfilled;
Teach to all men God's divine word,
Source of the Father's highest truth
Wake the mighty land that remains asleep;
Loudly ring the bell and proclaim to all;
Fighting on till the day Satan falls in defeat,
I'll take the task on by myself.
Share the persecution that Jesus knew,
Suffering abuse from the mocking crowd.
 
Win the whole world, heaven and earth,
God's will for all shall be fulfilled;
Teach to all men God's divine word,
Source of the Father's blessed grace.
Two hundred million in darkness dwell;
Bring to the fire giving light to all;
Fighting on till the day Satan falls in defeat,
I'll hold the burden by myself.
Share the heart of sadness that Jesus felt,
Praying in the Garden alone with God.
 
Win the whole world, heaven and earth,
God's will for all shall be fulfilled;
Teach to all men God's divine word,
Source of the Father's deepest life.
Tell the universe in the black of night;
Shout it with a strong voice awakening all;
Fight on on till the day Satan falls in defeat,
I'll fight the battle by myself.
Take the cross and follow as Jesus did,
Dying on the mountain at Calvary.
 
Win the whole world, heaven and earth,
God's will for all shall be fulfilled;
Teach to all men God's divine word,
Source of the Father's greatest love.
Tell the people trapped in a world of fear;
Raising up the flag, we will free them all;
Fighting on till the day Satan falls in defeat,
I'll persevere now by myself.
Let our Father rest from His lonely toil,
History awaits us to do His will.

16. Song of the Heavenly Soldiers

Words: Sang Chul Kim 1958; Music: Duk Chin Kim

(Listen to Midi -File or go back to list of Holy Songs)

Beautiful morning sunrise, calm above the land of our hope;
Robed in white chosen people, fighting for the land of God.
Towering high the snow white mountain stands aloft in majesty.
Ruling with power over the world, shining o'er the universe.
Marching on Heavenly soldiers, marching on with His love,
Uniting in life eternal with our God in Heaven and earth.
 
Heavenly soldiers fighting strongly for the victory;
Bringing lost souls to harvest from the fallen world of fear,
Freely giving love and beauty to them from our Parents' Heart.
Spreading the word over the world, rescuing the family of God.
Marching on Heavenly soldiers, marching on with His love,
Uniting in life eternal w*h our God in Heaven and earth.
 
Sanctified, brave crusaders, join in our True Parents' fight;
Lifting high the rod of iron, smashing evils of the world!
Now restoring Eden's glory, on the earth eternally,
Praising our God, Heavenly Father, giving joy to comfort His heart
Marching on Heavenly soldiers, marching on with His love.
Uniting in life eternal with our God in Heaven and earth.

Strong bond of heart is the force bringing the world into life,

18. Light in the East

Words and music: Duk Chin Kim 1956

Light that drives out the darkness is shining brightly from the East.
Sons and daughters of light are dwelling in the Garden there.
This is God's land of righteousness, chosen by Him to do His will;
These are God's people, chosen ones, upright in mind and heart.
 
	Chorus:
	As we now receive the love of God, our boundless source of ]light,
	Come, let's join together and in brightness we shall live;
	We'll shine like the brightest star to all of heaven and earth!

Good that wins over evil is now uniting in the East.
People longing for good are dwelling in the garden there.
Country of prayer and holy life, honoring God eternally;
People who wear the robe of white, sacrificing for the Lord;
 
Love that ends all the hatred is now to blossom in the East.
Men refusing to sin are dwelling in the garden there.
Ridiculed and rejected land, separates good from sinfulness;
People who know the thorny path knowing God's wondrous love;
 
Greatest victory eternal is now beginning in the East.
Those who crush evil ways are dwelling in the garden there.
Country divided North and South truly knows good from sinfulness;
People who shed their precious blood, given for the sins of men;
 
Brilliant glory of Heaven now comes in power from the East.
Those who carry the cross, are dwelling the garden there.
Country where soon the Sun will rise, welcoming soon the Son of Man;
There the bright Rose of Sharon blooms,
beautiful garden of God;

March along, march along, Have no fear, but march along;
For you go to victory, Heaven's soldiers, march along.

20. My Promise

Words: Hwan Chai Hwang 1956; Music: Duk Chin Kim

(Listen to Midi -File or go back to list of Holy Songs)

I pledge I will go, I pledge I will go;
Go as my Father has gone.
Tears fall on the path,
Lonely and silent the path of the Father,
Going to suffer the way of the Cross.
Ready to follow His will.
I pledge I will go forward to Him;
Ready to follow His will,
I pledge I will go forward to Him.
 
I'll follow the way, I'll follow the way;
Follow the path of my Lord.
Though thorny the path,
Now persevere as the brightness is growing,
On to the victory and glorious crown,
Giving my body and soul,
I'll follow the Lord all of the way;
Giving my body and soul, I'll follow the Lord all of the way.
 
I'm ready to serve, I'm ready to serve.
Serving my Father's desire,
Trials darken the path,
Deep in my heart the desire of the ages,
Fighting until we come home to the Lord,
Satan will bow in defeat,
I'm ready to serve all of my life;
Satan will bow in defeat, I'm ready to serve all of my life.

21a. Suffering

Words: Hyo Won Eu 1956; Music: Duk Chin Kim

(Click here to listen to Midi -File or go back to list of Holy Songs)

 
So many saints have journeyed this road;
No one could make the pathway complete;
Now at last He opens the way,
Calls us to come, waits for us all;
All the host of men and angels
Failed to do the will of Heaven;
Now the Lord is still awaiting,
You alone must answer His call.
 
Glory concealed, He suffers again,
Wrongly accused of lowliest crimes,
Though His path is thorny and long
Still I must go, follow my Lord;
In His presence Eden blossoms,
So a dungeon may be Eden;
Just to be with my beloved,
I'd endure all torture and pain.
 
I give my pledge to go with my Lord,
I too shall walk the way He has gone;
Though I meet the shadow of death,
He is my life, I am His own;
Strong desire swells within me,
Leading me to go be with Him;
In my heart such strong desire,
Not a one can stand in my way.
 
Shameless disgrace! You tie Him in chains
Scorning my Lord, you lead Him away;
Words and pictures witness your sin;
All men shall, judgment shall fall;
Blind officials ridicule Him,
Still the high priests; mock the Saviour;
Do you mean to force upon us
Tragedy and suffering again?

21b. New Life

Words: Hyo Won Eu 1956; Music: Duk Chin Kim

(Click here to listen to Midi -File or go back to list of Holy Songs)

 
Where are His children who answered the call
Of the archangel sounding afar?
People who trembled as lightning flashed,
Blazing the sky from the East to the West,
Dark is the sun, dim is the moon,
Thousands of stars falling to darkness;
Where are the ones blessed with new life,
Liberated from the dead?
 
Now we behold a new heaven and earth,
Holy Jerusalem, standing anew;
After our search of six thousand years,
Eden rejoices to welcome us home.
All of our tears, wipe them away;
Sorrowful sighs, we will not need them;
Where is my Lord, He who returns?
Where is Heaven's glorious One?
 
Once He departed by way of the cross,
Now He returns and He suffers again;
One way is given to me our Lord;
Follow the path to the bottom of hell.
Glorious star, Lebanon's light,
Shining on all, lighting the ages;
There is the great city of God,
Where the sun arises and shines.
 
Come in rejoicing and look to the light,
See how the darkness is rolling away;
Out of the few come a multitude;
Joyfully building the city of God.
Children of life stream thru the gates,
Close to His heart, singing to please Him;
Raising the white cross to the sky,
Praising our eternal new life.

22. Suffering Jesus

Words and music: Yun Young Yang 1956

(Click here to listen to Midi -File orgo back to list of Holy Songs)

 
See Lord Jesus bent in prayer, in the garden late at night,
See Lord Jesus bent in prayer, in the garden late at night.
See Him crying sweating blood watch it mingle with His tears;
Twelve disciples all asleep, even Peter nods and snores.
Iscariot comes with a kiss, hands Him over He is betrayed.
How could it be? Tragic sight innocent Lord precious Lord.
Twelve disciples watch from afar, everyone is running away.
Jesus alone captured and chained; soldiers lead Him to the prison.
Frightened Peter runs from the scene; with his tunic hides his face;
Look at Peter treacherous man, now pretends he does not know.
He who made the lame leap for joy, He who made the blind man see,
He who freely walked on the waves, where are all those miracles now?
 
See Lord Jesus bent in shame, see Him bear His heavy cross,
See Lord Jesus bent in shame, see Him bear His heavy cross.
Spent, exhausted, body and soul, now He stumbles and He falls;
Whipped from behind, driven along, Jesus treated just like a cow,
Where are His men? Where are the twelve? Jesus now is standing alone.
Not even one man is there bearing the cross for his Lord.
Tho' the crowd may pity a thief, freeing sinful men of this world,
Who'd volunteer to take His place, take the cross for God's son Jesus?
How very sad, how very sad, mighty Father shedding tears;
 
Lost and betrayed, lost and betrayed, all the Father's hopes are gone.
 
Even the most ignorant men have a shred of common sense;
 
Who can see the Father's despair, who can share His suffering pain?
 See Lord Jesus on the cross, nails are hammered through His hands,
See Lord Jesus on the cross, nails are hammered through His hands.
What kind of sin did He commit, this, the only Son of God?
Like a pure innocent sheep, He is dying, dying for you.
Father above He cannot watch; When He turns His face from His Son.
"My God, my God" Jesus cries "Why do you now forsake me?"
Twelve disciples shared all His ways, still were deaf and blind to His heart
All gone to waste, all gone to waste, Providence of God is broken
No use now to cry and repent, all repentance comes too late.
To prepare His coming again, sacrifices must be found.
All the faithful shedding their blood, spilling for two thousand years.
All this bloodshed, salvation's price, for three billion men of today.

23. Suffering Heart

Words: Rev. Sun Myung Moon 1951; Music: Duk Chin Kim

(Click here to listen to Midi -File or go back to list of Holy Songs)

 
Darkness gaining power within, tempting my soul to fall.
Weak is my heart, blurred are my thoughts, soon I am overcome.
Blind to the truth, losing the way, thinking of myself;
So I can see how sin began sprouting within my soul.
So I can see how sin began sprouting within my soul.

When my Lord came over to me, I would not hear His voice;
Blinded and deaf, closing my heart, I ran away from Him.
So I remained lost in desire only for myself.
Grieving the Lord suffered for me, going again to the cross.
Grieving the Lord suffered for me, going again to the cross.
 
To restore the black lonely night held by the power of sin,
Deserts He crossed, walking the way, climbing the rocky peaks.
Searching for us people of sin who deserve to die,
How then could I ever begin thanking the Lord for such grace?
How then could I ever begin thanking the Lord for such grace?
 
To defeat the power of death, fighting the realm of sin.
I sought the Lord, longing for Him, Bridegroom of my soul.
Tortured my heart, suffering alone, fighting deepest pain,
Finally today I greet the Lord, gaining all comfort from Him.
Finally today I greet the Lord, gaining all comfort from Him.
 
Joy eternal lifting my heart, swelling within my breast;
Now I behold, Heavenly life, glory and happiness.
Always before stung by my sin, I was doomed to die.
Finally today I am reborn, filled with abundant new life,
Finally today I am reborn, filled with abundant new life.
 
O my dearest Heavenly bride, now you've come home at last,
Deserts you crossed, searching for me, climbing the rocky peaks;
You persevered, faithful to me, longing for this day.
How you've become lovely to see through all your suffering and pain,
How you've become lovely to see through all your suffering and pain.
 
Come, O come, together we'll sing songs of eternal praise.
Taste now my love, treasure so pure, Heaven's gift for you;
All of my heart waited for you, yearning for this day.
All of my heart waited for you now I can give you my love.
All of my heart waited for you now I can give you my love.

24. Heart of the Father

Words: Young Hi Yi; Music: Hung Ryol Lee

(Click here to listen to Midi -File or go back to list of Holy Songs)

 
Longing to live in deepest joy and love eternal,
God was ever seeking for a people all His own.
Who can know the yearning of His lonely broken heart?
Tears were falling as a river through His countless years alone.
Out of all the multitude there was none who knew
How the Father's heart was aching, grieving after man.
 
Glorious God, who started life throughout the heavens,
Bore the deepest torture as He saw His children die.
Every day He seeks the beauty lost inside our hearts,
Tenderly with love He leads us back to life with Him on high.
How many fathoms deep is His aching heart?
All the tears He shed for earth became an endless sea.
 
Deep from within the heart of heaven came the secret,
Now the mighty word, the trumpet call will surely sound.
But as in the time of Noah people laugh and mock,
Satisfied to wander aimless in the darkness underground.
Fearful is the time to come when the price is paid!
One and all will face the judgment from an angry God.
 
Quickly believe, my people quickly turn and follow!
You can be enfolded in the warmth of Father's heart.
All the joy that life can offer calls us home to Him,
Now He calls you to be near Him never again to be apart.
When at last we run to Him, how He'll cry with joy!
All rejoicing, all together now and evermore.

25. Pledge

(Click here to listen to Midi -File or go back to list of Holy Songs)

 
My fallen figure shames the earth;
Once I was born, yet never I lived,
Never forsaking, You came to me
Giving my life and breaking my chains
Tenderly You gathered me up;
Filled with love and sweating blood,
Ever patient, You taught me the word,
Carved in my heart, it forever remains.
 
Never I knew what life should be;
All I can do is follow your way.
When on the path, I stumble and fall,
Turning, You give the courage I need.
Though the path is narrow and steep;
Cruel thorns leave a trail of blood.
Still I pledge I will follow the way,
Follow as far as my Father will lead.
 
Freed from a sleep so deep and dark,
gladly I wake to knowing your will.
Though death may stab me time and again,
Nothing can change a loyal heart.
This I pledge, my life is for You;
For Your will I rush forward to die.
This I pledge till the struggle is done,
'Till we proclaim the victorious day.

Words and music: anonymous

The Lord into His garden comes;
The spices yield a rich perfume;
The lilies grow and thrive, the lilies grow and thrive.
Refreshing showers of grace divine,
From the Father flow to every vine,
And make the dead revive, and make the dead revive.
 
Oh that this dry and barren ground
In springs of water may abound;
A fruitful soil become, a fruitful soil become.
The desert blossoms as the rose,
When the Saviour conquers all his foes,
And makes His people one, and makes His people one.
 
Come brethren you that love the Lord,
And taste the sweetness of His word;
In Father's ways go on, in Father's ways go on,
Our trouble and our trials here,
Will only make us richer there,
When we arrive at home, when we arrive at home.

Bringing tidings of a new world to families in the field.
Let us hasten to send the news all throughout the world,
Eden's glory spreading forever the hope of joy and peace.
 
Chorus:
	Dawn, golden dawn, throughout the shining Fatherland,
	Tells the tidings of the rising sun that brings us life.
 
Harvest quickly men of the fields, hasten to harvest now;
Crops are ripened and ready to bring into the heavenly barn.
Saints and angels and heavenly hosts gather to speed the task;
All will share the harvest of joy at the banquet of our Lord.
 
When the woes of six thousand years are gone from the Father's heart,
Sons and daughters shall live with great joy, our True Parents' own
Saints and sages and men of good faith all waited for this day;
Loyal men of hope and fidelity yearned to see this day.

29. He Has Called Me

Christian korean hymn

(Click here to listen to Midi -File or go back to list of Holy Songs)

 
The Lord has called and I will go, where He leads me I will follow;
The same in sorrow as in joy; with one heart I follow my Lord.
For none on earth can turn me back, not even death can stop me,
No none on earth can turn me back, not even death can stop me.
 
To barren valleys piled with bones, I will take the living message;
To Sodom's foul and wretched streets, I will bear the word with love.
I bind my heart, my life to Yours, that it may be an offering,
I bind my heart, my life to Yours, that it may be an offering.
 
To You belongs our full acclaim, all glory power and honor,
The world's contempt I do not fear, I will gladly bear the cross.
Without esteem, without renown, I only wish to follow,
Without esteem, without renown, I only wish to follow.

30. O, My Child Come Home Again

Christian korean hymn

(Click here to listen to Midi -File or go back to list of Holy Songs)

 
O my child, come home again; How I beg you to come home.
Though your sin be deep and dark, and your burden hard to bear,
Still the Lord of all will forgive you, and accept you in His grace.
For the heart of God is deep and wide,
Boundless and eternal His love.
 
O my child, come home again; How I beg you to come home.
How He searches every day, for the children of His heart.
Every night the Lord leaves the doorway open wide for their return,
And He longs for them to come back home,
All the ones who left Him behind.
 
O my child, come home again; How I beg you to come home,
Though the whip has stung your back, in the tender hands of God,
All your suffering path can be lightened, and the Lord can ease your pain,
Come and rest within the Father's heart,
O my children quickly come home.

31. My Cross

Words: Kwang Yol Yoo; Music: Doo Wan Kam

(Click here to listen to Midi -File or go back to list of Holy Songs)

 
Who can I go to for my help to bear my heavy cross?
Has not the Lord been helping me before I ever knew?
Because I had no strength to bear the load He gave to me,
Six thousand yeas of blood was shed, the thorny path prolonged.
 
Chorus:
	I will shoulder now the cross, and pledge I shall endure;
	Far beyond Golgotha's pain, now hear the victory.
 
The Lord would never give to me a cross I could not bear.
If I give all the strength I have I shall achieve the goal.
I sacrifice to do His will, no trial I cannot bear.
I give my life to go this way, no one can turn me back.
 
Our Father always persevered to see His will be done,
If all His children join the task it soon will be achieved.
If not, the lonely years of strife will all have been in vain.
No matter what, in fighting on, we'll win eternal joy.

Come dwell with me my altar now awaits;
O come to the altar waiting for you,
But lost and hidden by the night.
O come! My Lord, You are the light that fills the world;
Come purify my altar by Your light.
O how I pray that You will come soon;
Many altars wait, Dwell with them, O Lord.
 
O come my Lord; I beg You to come.
O come and bring new life to all the earth;
O come save the world from dying in pain;
Restore our sinful world.

Crying my heart, Come to us, O Lord.

34. When I Behold the Lord

Christian japanese hymn

(Click here to listen to Midi -File or go back to list of Holy Songs)

 
When I behold the Lord of all, my old self dies away.
So dies the world of sinfulness giving birth to good.
Soon a new self emerges, clear and bright and pure;
Come and behold the new life, heaven and earth reborn.
 
Now I behold Jerusalem, city of loveliness,
Gently descending from above, ever to be my own.
Joy never ending is with me, long as the Lord is near;
Joy ever flows in sweetness, river of precious life.
 
Kingdom of God eternal fervently I desired;
heavenly rays so softy fall, shining the Sun of Grace.
Springing forth in ripeness, fruit of the Tree of Life,
Torment of doubt is over, gone is the shadow of death.
 
Torturing every part of me, sinfulness rules my soul.
Still God can raise me purified, giving creation to me.
Letting me live in his palace, shining with golden light;
Boundless His love and kindness, boundless His love for me!

All things decay; still there is One,
True and faithful, God is love.
