3. Jesus Christ, the king of glory,

heaven opened to believers,

sinners justified by grace.

save your people, God, we pray.

The God of Abra'am praise

The God of Abra'am praise

The God of Abra'am praise

1. The God of Abra'am praise

Who reigns enthroned above;

Ancient of everlasting days,

And God of love:

Jehovah, Great I AM,

By earth and heaven confess’d

I bow and bless the sacred name

Forever bless’d.

2. The God of Abra’am praise,

At whose supreme command

From earth I rise, and seek the joys

At His right hand:

I all on earth forsake

Its wisdom, fame, and power;

And Him my only portion make,

My shield and tower.

3. He by Himself hath sworn;

I on His oath depend;

I shall, on eagle’s wings upborne,

To heaven ascend;

l shall behold His face,

I shall His power adore;

And sing the wonders of His grace

For evermore.

4. Though nature’s strength decay,

And earth and hell withstand,

To Canaan’s bounds I urge my way,

At his command

the watery deep I pass,

With Jesus in my view;

And through the howling wilderness

My way pursue.

5. The God, who reigns on high,

The great archangels sing,

And “Holy, Holy, Holy” cry

Almighty King;

Who was and is the same,

And evermore shall be:

Jehovah, Father, Great I AM,

We worship Thee.

6. The whole triumphant host

Give thanks to God on high;

Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

They ever cry.

Hail, Abra'am’s God, and mine,

I join the heavenly lays;

All might and majesty are Thine,

And endless praise.

Angel voices ever singing

Angel voices ever singing

Angel voices ever singing

1. Angel voices ever singing

Round Thy throne of light

Angel harps for ever ringing,

Rest not day or night;

Thousands only live to bless Thee,

And confess Thee,

Lord of might.

2. Thou, who art beyond the farthest

Mental eye can scan.

Can it be that Thou regardest

Songs of sinful man?

Can we feel that Thou art near us

And wilt hear us?

Yea, we can.

3. Yea, we*know Thy love rejoices

O’er each work of Thine;

Thou didst ears and hands and voices

For Thy praise combine;

Craftsman’s art and music’s measure

For Thy pleasure

Didst design.

4. Here, great God, today we offer

Of Thine own to Thee;

And for Thine acceptance proffer,

All unworthily,

Hearts and minds, and hands, and voices

In our choicest Melody.

5. Honour, glory, might, and merit,

Thine shall ever be,

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,

Blessed Trinity:

Of the best that Thou hast given,

Earth and heaven

Render Thee.

Come ye faithful raise the anthem

Come ye faithful raise the anthem

Come ye faithful raise the anthem

1. Come, ye faithful, raise the anthem;

Cleave the skies with shouts of praise;

Sing to Him who brought salvation,

Wondrous in His works and ways;

God eternal, Word incarnate,

Whom the heaven of heavens

obeys.

2. Ere He raised the lofty mountains,

Form’d the sea, or spread the sky,

Love eternal, free and boundless,

Moved the Lord of life to die;

Foreordain’d the Prince of princes

For the throne of Calvary.

3. Now above the sapphire pavement,

High in unapproached light,

Lo, He lives and reigns for ever

Victor after hard-won fight!

Where the song of the redeemed

Rings unceasing day and night.

4. Yet this earth He still remembers,

Still by Him the flock are fed:

Yea, He gives them food immortal,

Gives Himself, the living bread;

Leads them where the precious fountain

From the smitten Rock is shed.

O render thanks to God above

O render thanks to God above

O render thanks to God above

1. Oh render thanks to God above,

The fountain of eternal love,

Whose mercy firm through ages past

Has stood, and shall for ever last.

2. Who can His mighty deeds

express,

Not only vast, but numberless?

What mortal eloquence can raise

His tribute of immortal praise?

3. Happy are they, and only they,

Who from His judgements fear to stray

Who know and love His perfect will,

And all His righteous laws fulfil.

4. Extend to me that favour, Lord,

Thou to Thy chosen dost afford;

When Thou return’st to set them free,

Let Thy salvation visit me.
