Come Let Us Join

Immortal Invisible

Standing on the Promises

His Hands were Pierced

 

Come, let us join our cheerful songs
With angels round the throne;
Ten thousand thousand are their tongues,
But all their joys are one.

“Worthy the Lamb that died!” they cry,
“To be exalted thus”;
“Worthy the Lamb!” our lips reply,
“For He was slain for us.”

Jesus is worthy to receive
Honour and power divine;
And blessings more than we can give
Be, Lord, for ever Thine.

The whole creation join in one,
To bless the sacred name
Of Him that sits upon the throne,
And to adore the Lamb.

-Isaac Watts


Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.

Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might;
Thy justice like mountains high soaring above
Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love.

To all, life Thou givest, to both great and small;
In all life Thou livest, the true life of all;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish, but nought changeth Thee.

Great Father of glory, pure Father of Light,
Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight;
All laud we would render; O help us to see
‘Tis only the splendour of light hideth Thee.

Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.

-Walter Smith


Standing on the promises of Christ my King,
Through eternal ages let His praises ring:
“Glory in the highest!” I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.

Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Saviour,
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises that cannot fail,
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
By the living word of God I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises I now can see
Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;
Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,
Standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,
Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,
Standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises I cannot fall,
Listening every moment to the Spirit’s call,
Resting in my Saviour as my all in all,
Standing on the promises of God.

-R. Carter


His hands were pierced, the hands that made
The mountain range and everglade;
That washed the stains of sin away
And changed earth’s darkness into day.

His feet were pierced, the feet that trod
The furthest shining star of God;
And left their imprint deep and clear
On every winding pathway here.

His heart was pierced, the heart that burned
To comfort every heart that yearned;
And from it came a cleansing flood,
The river of redeeming blood.

His hands and feet and heart, all three
Were pierced for me on Calvary;
And here and now, to Him I bring
My hands, feet, heart, an offering.
