WORSHIP THE LORD IN THE BEAUTY OF HOLINESS
Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness;
Bow down before him, his glory proclaim;
Gold of obedience and incense of lowliness
Bring, and adore him: the Lord is his name.
Low at his feet lay thy burden of carefulness;
High on his heard he will bear it for thee,
Comfort thy sorrows, and answer thy prayerfulness,
Guiding thy steps as may best for thee be.
Fear not to enter his courts in the slenderness
Of the poor wealth thou canst recon as thine;
Truth in its beauty and love in its tenderness,
These are the offerings to lay at his shrine.
These though we bring them in trembling and fearfulness,
He will accept for the name that is dear,
Mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness
Trust for our trembling, and hope for our fear.
Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness;
Bow down before him, his glory proclaim;
Gold of obedience and incense of lowliness
Bring, and adore him: the Lord is his name.
LET US WITH A GLADSOME MIND
Let us with a gladsome mind praise the Lord, forever kind:
For his mercies aye endure, ever faithful, ever sure.
Who with all-commanding might filled the new-made world with light:
For his mercies aye endure, ever faithful, ever sure.
Who the golden-tressed sun caused all day its course to run:
For his mercies aye endure, ever faithful, ever sure.
All things living God doth feed, with full hand supplies their need:
For his mercies aye endure, ever faithful, ever sure.
Let us then with gladsome mind, praise the Lord, forever kind:
For his mercies aye endure, ever faithful, ever sure.
GOD OF ALL TIME
God of all time, all seasons of our living,
Source of our spark, protector of flame,
Blazing before our birth, beyond our dying –
God of all time, we come to sing your name.
Here in this place, wiere others have been building,
We come to claim the legacy of faith;
Take in your turn, the telling of your story;
And, though we tremble, speak your hope, your truth.
Spirit, who draws our fragile selves together;
Spirit, who turns a stranger to a friend:
Be at the table where we greet each other;
Be in the peace we pass from hand to hand.
Let us not die from poverty of caring;
Let us not starve, where love is to be shared.
Come, break us open to receive your healing;
Your broken body be our wine and bread.
ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS’ NAME
All hail the power of Jesus’ name! Let angles prostrate fall!
Bring forth the royal diadem and crown him, crown him, crown him
Crown him Lord of all.
Heal him, the heir of David’s line, whom David Lord did call,
the God incarnate, life divine, and crown him, crown him, crown him
Crown him Lord of all.
Crown him, you martyrs of your God, who from his altar call,
Praise him whose burning path you trod, and crown him, crown him, crown him
Crown him Lord of all.
Sinnner, whose love can ne’er forget the wormwood and the gall,
Go spread your trophies at this feet and crown him, crown him, crown him
Crown him Lord of all.
Let every tongue and every tribe, delivered from the fall,
to Christ all majesty ascribe, and crown him, crown him, crown him
Crown him Lord of all.
O that, with heaven’s sacred throng, we at his feet may fall
Lift high the universal song, and crown him, crown him, crown him,
Crown him Lord of all.
