Rev. Martin Duffield PRELUDE Holy God, we Praise Your Name Tune: GROSSER GOTT 1. Holy God, we praise Your name; Lord of all, we bow before You; all on earth Your scepter claim, all in heav'n above adore You. Infinite Your vast domain, everlasting is your reign. 2. Hark, the glad celestial hymn angel choirs above are raising; cherubim and seraphim in unceasing chorus praising, fill the heav'ns with sweet accord: "Holy, holy, holy Lord." + Hymn 1 Crown Him with Many Crowns Matthew Bridges 1800-94 and Godfrey Thring 1823-1903 Tune: DIADEMATA, Sir George J Elvey, 1816-93 1. Crown Him with many crowns, the Lamb upon His throne. Hark! How the heav'nly 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. 3. Crown Him the Lord of love; behold His hands and side; those wounds, yet visible above, in beauty glorified. No angel in the sky can fully bear that sight, but downward bends his burning eye at mysteries so bright. 4. Crown Him the Lord of peace Whose power a sceptre sways from pole to pole, that wars may cease, and all be prayer and praise. His reign shall know no end, and round His piercèd feet fair flow'rs of paradise extend their fragrance ever sweet. 5. Crown Him the Lord of years, the Potentate of time, Creator of the rolling spheres, ineffably sublime. All hail, Redeemer, hail! For Thou has died for me; Thy praise and glory shall not fail throughout eternity. + Hymn 2 Jesus the Everlasting Word Josiah Conder 1789-1855 Tune: SUPREMACY, Norman Tomblin, 1907-2001 1. Jesus the everlasting Word, only begotten Son, God manifestly seen and heard, and heaven's blessèd One. Worthy, O Lamb of God, we sing, Jesus, our Saviour, Lord and King, Jesus, our Saviour, Lord and King. 2. In You, most perfectly expressed, the Father's glories shine; of the full Deity possessed, eternally Divine: Worthy, ... 3. True image of the Infinite, Whose essence is concealed; brightness of uncreated light, the heart of God revealed: Worthy ... 4. But the high myst'ries of Your Name an angel's grasp transcends; the Father only, glorious claim, the Son can comprehend: Worthy, ... 5. Throughout the universe of bliss You are the soul and sun. th' eternal theme of praise is this, to heav'n's belovèd One: Worthy ... + Hymn 3 Glorious Things of You Are Spoken Psalm 87; John Newton 1725-1807 Tune: LUX EOI, Sir Arthur S Sullivan, 1842-1900 1. Glorious things of you are spoken, Zion, city of our God! He whose Word cannot be broken formed you for His own abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, what can shake your sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, you may smile at all your foes. 2. See, the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love; well supply your sons and daughters, and all fear of want remove: who can faint while such a river ever flows their thirst to assuage? Grace, which like the Lord, the Giver, never fails from age to age. 3. Round each habitation hovering see the cloud and fire appear for a glory and a covering, showing that the Lord is near: blest inhabitants of Zion, washed in their Redeemer's blood; Jesus, Whom their souls rely on makes them kings and priests to God. 4. Saviour, since of Zion's city, I through grace a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Your Name: fading are the world's best pleasures, all its boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasures none but Zion's children know. + Hymn 4 Look, You saints! The Sight Is Glorious Rev. Thomas Kelly 1769-1855 Tune: TRIUMPH, Henry J Gauntlett, 1805-76 1. Look, you saints: the sight is glorious! See the Man of Sorrows now; from the fight returned victorious, every knee to Him shall bow; crown ... crowns befit the Victor's brow. 2. Crown the Saviour! Angels, crown Him; rich the trophies Jesus brings; in the seat of pow'r enthrone Him, while the vault of heaven rings; crown ... crown the Saviour King of kings. 3. Sinners in derision crowned Him, mocked the dying Saviour's claim. Saints and angels crowd around Him, sing His triumph, praise His Name. Crown ... spread abroad the Victor's fame. 4. Hear the shout as He is greeted; hear those loud triumphant chords! Jesus Christ in glory seated; O what joy that sight affords! Crown ... King of kings and Lord of lords! + POSTLUDE Holy God, we Praise Your Name (as Prelude Hymn) 3. Lo! the apostolic train join Your sacred name to hallow; prophets swell the glad refrain, and the white-robed martyrs follow; and from morn to set of sun, through the church the song goes on. 4. Holy Father, Holy Son, Holy Spirit, Three we name You; while in essence only One, undivided God we claim You, and adoring bend the knee, while we sing this mystery.
