†oPening HyMn #325 All Hail The Power Of Jesus’ Name

All hail the power of Jesus’ Name! Let angels prostrate fall; Bring forth the royal diadem, And crown Him Lord of all! (Repeat)

Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race, Ye ransomed from the fall,

Hail Him Who saves you by His grace, And crown Him Lord of all! (Repeat)

Let every kindred, every tribe, On this terrestrial ball, To Him all majesty ascribe, And crown Him Lord of all! (Repeat)

O, that with yonder sacred throng We at His feet may fall!

We’ll join the everlasting song, And crown Him Lord of all! (Repeat)

antHeM Deo Gratias

(Refrain) Loving God, to You we sing. Hear the grateful songs we bring. Deo gratias, Deo gratias, Deo gratias. Deo gratias, Deo gratias, Deo gratias.

(Congregation repeat refrain)

For the beauty of the earth, For the glory of the skies, For the love which from our birth, Over and around us lies:

Lord of all, to You we raise, This our hymn of grateful praise. (Cong. Refrain)

For Your Church that evermore, Lifts its holy hands above, Offering upon every shore, Its pure sacrifice of love:

Lord of all, to You we raise, This our hymn of grateful praise. (Cong. Refrain)

For Yourself, best Gift Divine, To this world so freely giv’n; Word Incarnate, God’s design, Peace on earth and joy in heaven:

Lord of all, to You we raise, This our hymn of grateful praise. (Cong. Refrain)

†closing HyMn #370 O God Our Help In Ages Past

O God Our Help In Ages Past, Our hope for years to come,

Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home.

Under the shadow of Thy throne, Still may we dwell secure; Sufficient is Thine arm alone, and our defense is sure.

Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame, from everlasting, Thou art God, To endless years the same.

A thousand ages, In Thy sight, Are like an evening gone;

Short as the watch that ends the night, Before the rising sun.

O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come; Be Thou our guide while life shall last, And our eternal home.
