A LL H AIL T HE P OWER Edward Perronet

All hail the power of Jesus’ name let angels prostrate fall Bring forth the royal diadem and crown Him Lord of all Bring forth the royal diadem and crown Him Lord of all!

Crown Him, ye morning stars of light, Who fixed this floating ball Now hail the strength of Israel’s might and crown Him Lord of all Now hail the strength of Israel’s might and crown Him Lord of all!

You chosen seed of Israel’s race, You ransomed from the fall Hail Him who saves you by His grace and crown Him Lord of all Hail Him who saves you by His grace and crown Him Lord of all!

Sinners, whose love can ne’er forget the wormwood and the gall Go spread your trophies at His feet and crown Him Lord of all Go spread your trophies at His feet and crown Him Lord of all!

Oh, that with yonder sacred throng we at His feet may fall We’ll join the everlasting song and crown Him Lord of all! We’ll join the everlasting song and crown Him Lord And crown Him Lord And crown Him Lord of all!

T HE P OWER OF THE C ROSS Stuart Townend & Keith Getty

Oh to see the dawn of the darkest day Christ on the road to Calvary Tried by sinful men torn and beaten then nailed to a cross of wood

Oh to see the pain written on Your face bearing the awesome weight of sin Every bitter thought every evil deed crowning Your blood-stained brow

This the power of the cross: Christ became sin for us Took the blame, bore the wrath We stand forgiven at the cross

Now the daylight flees now the ground beneath quakes as its Maker bows His head Curtain torn in two dead are raised to life ‘Finished!’ the victory cry

This the power of the cross: Christ became sin for us Took the blame, bore the wrath We stand forgiven at the cross

Oh to see my name written in the wound for through Your suf‘fring I am free Death is crushed to death life is mine to live won through Your selfless love

This the power of the cross: Son of God slain for us What a life, what a cost! We stand forgiven at the cross

God’s Beauty This attribute is closely related to that of his perfection, but there is a notable difference. Regarding his perfection, we state that God does not lack anything that would be desirable for him. The attribute of beauty is defined in a positive way to show that God actually does possess all desirable qualities. 20

God’s Beauty Beauty means that God has everything desirable; he is the sum of all desirable qualities. It reminds us that all our good and righteous desires, all of the desires that really ought to be in us or in any other creature, find their ultimate fulfillment in God and in no one else. 21

God’s Beauty David speaks of the beauty of the Lord in Psalm 27:4, One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.” A similar idea is expressed in Psalm 73:25, “Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you.” 22

God’s Beauty In both cases, the psalmist recognizes that his desire for God -- who is the sum of everything desirable -- far surpasses other desires. We should also remember that we reflect God’s beauty in our own lives when we exhibit conduct that is pleasing to him. 23

God’s Beauty We also delight in God’s beauty as we see it manifested in the lives of our brothers and sisters in the Lord. Therefore it is right that we feel joy and delight in the fellowship of one another, and that this joy deepens as our conformity to the life of Christ increases. 24

God’s Beauty When we delight in the godliness of God’s people, we are ultimately delighting in God himself as we see his character evidenced in the lives of his followers. 25

26 Give Thanks to the Lord For He is Good His Love Endures Forever

Great God How Infinite Art Thou Isaac Watts

Thy throne eternal ages stood Ere seas or stars were made Thou art the ever living God Were all the nations dead

Nature and time quite naked lie To Thine immense survey From the formation of the sky To the great burning day

Great God, how infinite art Thou O'er all eternity! Let the whole race of creatures bow And pay their praise to Thee!

Eternity, with all its years Stands present in Thy view To Thee there's nothing old appears Great God! There's nothing new

Our lives through various scenes are drawn And vexed with trifling cares While Thine eternal thought moves on Thine undisturbed affairs

Great God, how infinite art Thou O'er all eternity! Let the whole race of creatures bow And pay their praise to Thee!

Great God, how infinite art Thou O'er all eternity! Let the whole race of creatures bow And pay their praise to Thee!

W E THE I MPRISONED By Nate Elkington

When we, the imprisoned, once pondered our plight Confined by the shackles formed by our own might Cried out to the Father “Let justice be stayed” His pardon to grant us this day

He, doubtlessly sovereign, eternally knew And surely in power could capably prove The loving Creator had always a plan To free the most wretched of men

At an infinite cost was our debt to be paid Assumed by the Ancient of Days He, in humble submission, came eagerly nigh To live and to suffer and rise!

So God in His fullness to Bethlehem came And truly a human would always remain Our Kinsman Redeemer and Lord of all life Here meet in the person of Christ

He, though purposed to love us and faultless indeed Unwarranted fury received Yet we mocked and afflicted and bid He should save Himself from enduring the grave

To the shame of the cross watch Him willfully go And look to His wounds as love earnestly flows The chasm betwixt the Almighty and man Is once and effectually spanned

Now behold His ascension, see evil is sheathed Rejoice, it’s destruction complete Hear the Father’s “Amen” as the curtain is torn Our shackles restricting no more

Did shadows e’er plead on behalf of our souls? Could sin here be cleansed by the kindred of bulls? Would rituals offered at altars unclean Present us before Him redeemed?

Condescension for mercy, come amnesty down Grace, and not wrath, now abounds! ‘Midst unmerited favor still justice is done His covenant with us is love

He Knows My Name © 1996 Doulos Publishing (Maranatha! Music) CCLI

I have a Maker, He formed my heart Before even time began My life was in His hands He knows my name He knows my every thought He sees each tear that falls And hears me when I call

I have a Father He calls me His own He’ll never leave me no matter where I go He knows my name He knows my every thought He sees each tear that falls And hears me when I call

He knows my name He knows my every thought He sees each tear that falls And hears me when I call

S INNERS R EJOICE ! Words by John and Charles Wesley PLEASE BE SEATED

Sinners, rejoice! Your peace is made your Savior on the cross has bled Your God, in Jesus, reconciled on all His works again has smiled Now grace through Him and blessing giv’n to all in earth and all in Heav’n

Angels rejoice in Jesus’ grace and vie with man’s more favored race The blood that did for us atone conferred on them some gift unknown Their joy through Jesus’ pain abounds they triumph by His glorious wounds

Him they beheld, our conquering God returned with garments rolled in blood In awe awakened at the sight they filled, with shouts, the realms of light With loudest hallelujahs met all fell and kissed His bleeding feet

No angel tongue can ever express the indescribable happiness Nor human hearts can ever conceive the bliss wherein through Christ they live But all your Heav’n, ye glorious powers and all your God, is doubly ours!

HEBREWS 4:7-13 (NIV) God set a certain day, calling it “Today.” This he did when a long time later he spoke through David, as in the passage already quoted: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.” For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.

There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.

For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

This is the Word of the Lord Thanks be to God  Numbers 6:24-26 
