Crown Him with Many Crowns Hymn 34

1st Stanza Crown Him with many crowns, The Lamb upon His throne: Hark! how the heav’nly anthem drowns All music but its own!

1st Stanza continued Awake, my soul, and sing Of Him who died for thee, And hail Him as thy matchless King Through all eternity.

2nd Stanza Crown Him the Lord of love: Behold His hands and side— Rich wounds, yet visible above, In beauty glorified;

2nd Stanza continued No angel in the sky Can fully bear that sight, But downward bends his wond’ring eye At mysteries so bright.

3rd Stanza Crown Him the Lord of life: Who triumphed o’er the grave,

3rd Stanza continued Who rose victorious to the strife For those He came to save;

3rd Stanza continued His glories now we sing, Who died and rose on high, Who died eternal life to bring And lives that death may die.

Last Stanza Crown Him the Lord of heav’n: One with the Father known, One with the Spirit through Him giv’n From yonder glorious throne.

Last Stanza continued To Thee be endless praise, For Thou for us hast died; Be Thou, O Lord, through endless days Adored and magnified.

Invocation & Gloria Patri Hymnal (inside front cover)

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;

as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, Amen.

Scripture Reading in Unison Nehemiah 1:5-11

5And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments:

6aLet thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night,

6bfor the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father’s house have sinned.

7aWe have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments,

7bwhich thou commandedst thy servant Moses.

8Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:

9aBut if ye turn unto me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven,

9byet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there.

10Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand.

11a O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name:

11b and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the king’s cupbearer.

Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah Hymn 348

1st Stanza Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah, Pilgrim through this barren land;

1st Stanza continued I am weak, but Thou art mighty— Hold me with Thy pow’rful hand:

1st Stanza continued Bread of Heaven, Feed me till I want no more, Feed me till I want no more.

2nd Stanza Open now the crystal fountain Whence the healing stream doth flow;

2nd Stanza continued Let the fire and cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through:

2nd Stanza continued Strong Deliv’rer, strong Deliv’rer,

2nd Stanza continued Be Thou still my strength and shield, Be Thou still my strength and shield.

Last Stanza When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside;

Last Stanza continued Bear me through the swelling current, Land me safe on Canaan’s side:

Last Stanza continued Songs of praises, songs of praises I will ever give to Thee, I will ever give to Thee.
