Lord of all, we bow before you.
All on earth your sceptre claim;
all in heaven above adore you.
Infinite your vast domain;
everlasting is your reign.
2 Hark, the glad celestial hymn
angel choirs above are raising;
cherubim and seraphim,
in unceasing chorus praising,
fill the heavens with sweet accord:
"Holy, holy, holy Lord."
3 Lo, the apostolic train
joins your sacred name to hallow;
prophets swell the glad refrain,
and the white-robed martyrs follow;
and from morn to set of sun,
through the church the song goes on.
4 Glory through eternity:
Spirit, Word, and blest Creator,
God of gracious tenderness,
at your feet we sinners gather;
light and mercy, now, we pray,
give your people for this day. Topics: Communion of Saints; Martyrs; Praise of God; Trinity; You are God (Te Deum) Used With Tune: GROSSER GOTT Text Sources: You Are God (Te Deum, Latin hymn, 400?)

'Twas the commission of the Lord
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 104 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 22:31 Lyrics:
'Twas the commission of our Lord,
"Go teach the nations, and baptize:"
The nations have received the word
Since he ascended to the skies.
He sits upon th' eternal hills,
With grace and pardon in his hands;
And sends his cov'nant with the seals,
To bless the distant British lands.
"Repent, and be baptized," he saith,
For the remission of your sins:"
And thus our sense assists our faith,
And shows us what his gospel means.
Our souls he washes in his blood,
As water makes the body clean;
And the good Spirit from our God
Descends like purifying rain.
Thus we engage ourselves to thee,
And seal our cov'nant with the Lord;
O may the great eternal Three
In heav'n our solemn vows record!

O Perfect Life of Love
Author: Henry W. Baker, 1821-77 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 86 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 22 First Line: O perfect life of love! Lyrics: 1 O perfect life of love!
All, all, is finished now,
All that He left His throne above
To do for us below.
2 No work is left undone
Of all the Father willed;
His toil, His sorrows, one by one,
The Scriptures have fulfilled.
3 No pain that we can share
But He has felt its smart;
All forms of human grief and care
Have pierced that tender heart.
4 And on His thorn-crowned head
And on His sinless soul
Our sins in all their guilt were laid
That he might make us whole.
5 In perfect love He dies;
For me He dies, for me.
O all atoning Sacrifice,
I cling by faith to Thee.
6 In ev'ry time of need,
Before the judgment throne,
Thy work, O Lamb of God, I'll plead,
Thy merits, not mine own.
7 Yet work, O Lord, in me
As Thou for me hast wrought;
And let my love the answer be
To grace Thy love has brought.

Kingdom of Christ

The wond'rous things foretold
Of thee in sacred writ,
With joy our eyes behold:
Still does thine arm new trophies wear,
And monuments of glory rear.
2 To thee the hoary head
Its silver honours pays;
To thee the blooming youth
Devotes his brightest days:
And ev'ry age their tribute bring,
And bow to thee, all conqu'ring King!
3 O haste, victorious Prince,
That happy, glorious day,
When souls like drops of dew
Shall own thy gentle sway:
O may it bless our longing eyes,
And bear our shouts beyond the skies.
4 All hail, triumphant Lord!
Eternal be thy reign;
Behold the nations sue
To wear thy gentle chain:
When earth and time are known no more,
Thy throne shall stand forever sure. Text Sources: Wesley's Coll.
Kingdom of Christ
The Victory of the King of Kings
Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 44 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 22:28 First Line: The mighty frame of glorious grace Lyrics: 1 The mighty frame of glorious grace,
That brightest monument of praise
That e'er the God of love design'd,
Employs and fills my laboring mind.
2 Begin, my soul, the heav'nly song,
A burden for an angel's tongue:
When Gabriel sounds these awful things,
He tunes and summons all his strings.
3 Proclaim inimitable love:
Jesus, the Lord of worlds above,
Puts off the beams of bright array,
And veils the God in mortal clay.
4 He that distributes crowns and thrones
Hangs on a tree, and bleeds, and groans:
The Prince of Life resigns his breath,
The King of Glory bows to death.
5 But see the wonders of his power,
He triumphs in his dying hour,
And, while by Satan's rage he fell,
He dash'd the rising hopes of hell.
6 Thus were the hosts of death subdu'd,
And sin was drown'd in Jesus's blood:
Thus he arose, and reigns above,
And conquers sinners by his love.
7 Who shall fulfil this boundless song?
The theme surmounts an Angel's tongue:
How low, how vain are mortal airs,
When Gabriel's nobler harp despairs! Topics: The Exaltation of the Prince of Peace: The Saviour of the World

Glad was my heart to hear
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 37 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 22 Lyrics:
Glad was my heart to hear
My old companions say,
Come,--in the House of God appear,
For 'tis an holy day.
Our willing feet shall stand
Within the temple-door,
While young and old in many a band
Shall throng the sacred floor.
Thither the tribes repair,
Where all are wont to meet,
And joyful in the House of Prayer
Bend at the Mercy-seat.
Pray for Jerusalem,
The city of our God;
The Lord from Heaven be kind to them
That love the dear abode.
Within these walls may peace
And harmony be found:
Zion, in all thy palaces,
Prosperity abound.

God scorns not humble things;
These, though the proud despise,
The children of the King of kings,
Are training for the skies.
May none who thus are taught,
From glory be cast down,
But all through faith and patience brought
To an eternal crown.
For friends and brethren dear,
Our prayer shall never cease,
Oft as they meet for worship here,
God send his people peace.
