Acts 3:11-16

Holy, Holy, Holy

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, holy, holy! – merciful and mighty,
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
Which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.

Holy, holy, holy! – though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see;
Only Thou art holy, there is none beside Thee,
Perfect in power, in love, and purity.

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God almighty!
All Thy works shall praise Thy name, in earth, and sky, and sea:
Holy, holy, holy! – merciful and mighty,
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

Reginald Heber

Look Ye Saints

Look, ye saints! The sight is glorious;
See the Man of Sorrows now
From the fight return victorious,
Every knee to Him shall bow:
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Crowns become the Victor’s brow.

Crown the Saviour! Angels crown Him,
Rich the trophies Jesus brings;
In the seat of power enthrone Him,
While the vault of heaven rings;
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Crown the Saviour King of kings!

Sinners in derision crowned Him,
Mocking thus the Saviour’s claim;
Saints and angels crowd around Him,
Own His title, praise His name:
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Spread abroad the Victor’s fame.

Hark, those bursts of acclamation!
Hark, those loud triumphant chords!
Jesus takes the highest station:
O what joy the sight affords!
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Crown Him! Crown Him!
King of kings, and Lord of lords!

There is a Higher Throne

There is a higher throne than all this world has known,
Where faithful ones from every tongue will one day come.
Before the Son we’ll stand,
Made faultless through the Lamb;
Believing hearts find promised grace: salvation comes.

Hear heaven’s voices sing,
Their thunderous anthem rings
Through emerald courts and sapphire skies, their praises rise.
All glory, wisdom, power,
Strength, thanks and honour are
To God, our King who reigns on high for ever more.

And there we’ll find our home, our life before the throne;
We’ll honour Him in perfect song where we belong.
He’ll wipe each tear-stained eye,
As thirst and hunger die;
The Lamb becomes our Shepherd King: we’ll reign with Him.

Kristyn Lennox and Keith Getty

Lo He Comes

Lo! He comes with clouds descending,
Once for favoured sinners slain;
Thousand thousand saints attending,
Swell the triumph of His train!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Jesus comes, and comes to reign.

Ev’ry eye shall now behold Him
Robed in dreadful majesty;
Those who set at naught and sold Him,
Pierced and nailed Him to the tree,
Deeply wailing, deeply wailing, deeply wailing,
Shall the true Messiah see.

When the solemn trump has sounded,
Heav’n and earth shall flee away;
All who hate Him must, confounded,
Hear the summons of that day -
Come to judgement! Come to judgement! Come to judgement!
Come to judgement, come away!

Now redemption, long expected,
See in solemn pomp appear!
All His saints, by men rejected,
Now shall meet Him in the air;
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
See the day of God appear!

Yea, Amen! Let all adore Thee,
High on Thine eternal throne;
Saviour, take the power and glory,
Claim the kingdom for Thine own!
Oh, come quickly! Oh, come quickly! Oh, come quickly!
Hallelujah! Come, Lord, come!
