Red Hymnal #24

O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus

O the deep, deep love of Jesus, Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free!

Rolling as a mighty ocean in its fullness over me!

Underneath me, all around me, is the current of Thy love –

Leading onward, leading homeward, to Thy glorious rest above!

O the deep, deep love of Jesus – Spread His praise from shore to shore!

How He loveth, ever loveth, changeth never, nevermore!

How He watches o’er His loved ones, died to call them all His own;

How for them He intercedeth, watcheth o’er them from the throne!

O the deep, deep love of Jesus, love of every love the best!

‘Tis an ocean full of blessing, ‘tis a haven giving rest!

O the deep, deep love of Jesus – ‘tis a heaven of heavens to me;

And it lifts me up to glory, for it lifts me up to Thee!

Words: Samuel Trevor Francis. Music: EBENEZER, Thomas J. Williams

Psalm 104F:                                                           Blue Psalter, page 664

O Worship the King

Verse 1 – All:

O worship the King, all glorious above,

O gratefully sing, His power and His love;

Our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days,

Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise.

Verse 2.— All:

O tell of His might, O sing of His grace,

Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space,

His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,

And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.

Verse 3 – Men & Boys:

Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite?

It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;

It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,

And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.

Verse 4 – Women & Girls:

Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,

In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail;

Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end,

Our maker, defender, redeemer, and friend.

Verse 5 – All:

O measureless might, Unchangeable love,

Whom angels delight to worship above!

Your ransomed creation, with glory ablaze,

In true adoration shall sing to your praise.

Words: Robert Grant, 1833, Music: (Lyons 10.10.11.11) W. Gardiner’s Sacred Melodies, 1815; attr. Johann Michael Haydn, P.D.

My Shepherd is the Lord; nothing indeed shall I want.

Fresh and green are the pastures where he gives me repose.

Near restful waters he leads me, to revive my drooping spirit.

Repeat Refrain

He guides me along the right path; he is true to his name.

If I should walk in the valley of darkness no evil would I fear.

You are there with your crook and your staff;

with these you give me comfort.

Repeat Refrain

You have prepared a banquet for me in the sight of my foes.

My head you have anointed with oil; my cup is overflowing.

Repeat Refrain

Surely goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life.

In the Lord’s own house shall I dwell for ever and ever.

To the Father and Son give glory; Give glory to the Spirit.

All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name

All hail the power of Jesus’ name!

Let angels prostrate fall, Let angels prostrate fall;

Bring forth the royal diadem, and crown Him,

Crown Him, crown Him, crown Him, and crown Him Lord of all.

Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race,

Ye ransomed from the fall; Ye ransomed from the fall;

Hail Him who saves you by His grace, and crown Him,

Crown Him, crown Him, crown Him, and crown Him Lord of all.

Let every kindred, every tribe

On this terrestrial ball, on this terrestrial ball,

To Him all majesty ascribe, and crown Him,

Crown Him, crown Him, crown Him, and crown Him Lord of all.

O that with yonder sacred thong

We at His feet may fall, We at His feet may fall!

We’ll join the everlasting song, and crown Him,

Crown Him, crown Him, crown Him, and crown Him Lord of all. Amen.

Words: Edward Perronet, John Rippon. Music: DIADEM, James Ellor.

There is a Higher Throne
1. There is a higher throne than all this world has known,
Where faithful ones from ev’ry tongue will one day come.

Before the Son we’ll stand, made faultless through the Lamb;

Believing hearts find promised grace; Salvation comes.

Chorus: Hear Heaven’s voices sing; Their thund’rous anthem rings

Through emerald courts and sapphire skies; Their praises rise.

All glory, wisdom, pow’r, strength,

thanks and honour are to God, our King,

Who reigns on high forevermore.
1. 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.
