HYMNS:
142 Based on REVELATION 5:11-13
COME, let us join our cheerful songs
with angels round the throne;
ten thousand thousand are their tongues,
but all their joys are one.
2 ‘Worthy the Lamb that died’, they cry,
‘to be exalted thus!’
‘Worthy the Lamb’, our lips reply,
‘for He was slain for us!’
3 Jesus is worthy to receive
honour and power divine;
and blessings, more than we can give,
be, Lord, for ever Thine.
4 Let all that dwell above the sky,
and air, and earth, and seas,
conspire to lift Thy glories high,
and speak Thine endless praise.
5 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, 1674-1748

COME down, O Love divine,
and seek this soul of mine,
and visit it with Your own ardour glowing;
O Comforter, draw near,
within my heart appear,
and kindle it, Your holy flame bestowing.
2 O let it freely burn,
till earthly passions turn
to dust and ashes, in its heat consuming;
and let Your glorious light
shine ever on my sight,
and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
3 Let holy charity
my outward garment be,
and lowliness become my inner clothing;
true lowliness of heart,
which takes the humbler part,
and o’er its own shortcomings weeps with
loathing.
4 And so the yearning strong,
with which the soul will long,
shall far outpass the power of human telling;
for none can guess its grace,
till he become the place
wherein the Holy Spirit makes His dwelling.
Bianco da Siena, c. 1350-1434;
tr. by Richard Frederick Littledale, 1833-90

I HEARD the voice of Jesus say,
‘Come unto Me and rest;
lay down, thou weary one, lay down
thy head upon My breast!’
I came to Jesus as I was,
weary, and worn, and sad;
I found in Him a resting-place,
and He has made me glad.
2 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
‘Behold, I freely give
the living water – thirsty one,
stoop down, and drink, and live!’
I came to Jesus, and I drank
of that life-giving stream;
my thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
and now I live in Him.
3 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
‘I am this dark world’s Light;
look unto Me, thy morn shall rise,
and all thy day be bright.’
I looked to Jesus, and I found
in Him my star, my sun;
and in that light of life I’ll walk
till travelling days are done.
Horatius Bonar, 1808-89

O LOVE divine! what have You done?
The immortal God has died for me!
The Father’s co-eternal Son
bore all my sins upon the tree;
the immortal God for me has died!
my Lord, my Love is crucified.
2 Behold Him, you that pass Him by,
the bleeding Prince of life and peace!
Come, sinners, see your Maker die,
and say, was ever grief like His?
Come, feel with me His blood applied:
my Lord, my Love is crucified:
3 Is crucified for me and you,
to bring us rebels back to God:
believe, believe the record true,
you now are bought with Jesus’ blood,
pardon for sin flows from His side:
my Lord, my Love is crucified.
4 Then let us sit beneath His cross,
and gladly catch the healing stream,
all things for Him account but loss,
and give up all our hearts to Him;
of nothing think or speak beside:
my Lord, my Love is crucified.

Charles Wesley, 1707-88
