All heaven declares the glory of the risen Lord
Who can compare with the beauty of the Lord?
Forever He will be (Forever He will be)
The Lamb upon the throne (The Lamb upon the throne)
I gladly bow the knee (I gladly bow the knee)
And worship Him alone

Who once was slain to reconcile man to God

321 Crown him with many crowns

Crown him with many crowns, 
the Lamb upon his throne.
Hark! How the heavenly anthem drowns 
all music but its own.
Awake, my soul, and sing of him 
who died for thee,
and hail him as thy matchless King 
through all eternity.

Crown him the virgin's Son, 
the God incarnate born,
whose arm those crimson trophies won 
which now His brow adorn;
fruit of the mystic rose, 
as of that rose the stem;
the root whence mercy ever flows, 
the Babe of Bethlehem.

Crown him the Lord of love.
Behold his hands and side,
Rich wounds, yet visible above,
In beauty glorified.
No angels in the sky
Can fully bear that sight,
But downward bend their burning eyes
At mysteries so bright.

Crown him the Lord of peace, 
whose power a sceptre sways
from pole to pole, that wars may cease, 
and all be prayer and praise.
his reign shall know no end, 
and round his pierced feet
fair flowers of paradise extend
their fragrance ever sweet.

Crown him the Lord of Heaven, 
one with the Father known,
and the blest Spirit through him given 
from yonder triune throne:
all hail, Redeemer, hail,
for thou hast died for me;
thy praise shall never, never fail
throughout eternity.

Alleluia! sing to Jesus! 
His the sceptre, His the throne.
Alleluia! His the triumph, 
His the victory alone.
Hark! The songs of peaceful Zion 
thunder like a mighty flood.
Jesus out of every nation 
has redeemed us by His blood.

Alleluia! Not as orphans 
are we left in sorrow now;
Alleluia! He is near us, 
faith believes, nor questions how;
Though the cloud from sight received Him 
when the forty days were o’er
Shall our hearts forget His promise, 
“I am with you evermore”?

Alleluia! Bread of angels, 
Thou on earth our food, our stay;
Alleluia! Here the sinful flee to Thee 
from day to day:
Intercessor, Friend of sinners, 
Earth’s Redeemer, plead for me,
Where the songs of all the sinless 
sweep across the crystal sea.

Alleluia! King eternal, 
Thee the Lord of lords we own;
Alleluia! Born of Mary, Earth Thy footstool, 
Heav’n Thy throne:
Thou within the veil hast entered, 
robed in flesh our great High Priest;
Thou on earth both priest and victim
in the Eucharistic feast.

Communion
795 I heard the voice of Jesus 

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,
so weary, worn, and sad;
I found in him a resting place,
and he has made me glad.

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.

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 traveling days are done.

Words: Horatio Bonar, 1846
Music: Kingsfold


948 Because the lord is my shepherd

1. Because the Lord is my shepherd,
I have ev’ry thing I need.
He lets me rest in the meadow and leads me
to the quiet streams.
He restores my soul and he leads me
in the paths that are right:

Refrain
Lord, you are my shepherd,
you are my friend.
I want to follow you always,
just to follow my friend.

2. And when the road leads to darkness,
I shall walk there unafraid.
Even when death is close I have courage,
for your help is there.
You are close beside me with comfort,
you are guiding my way:

3. In love you make me a banquet
for my enemies to see.
You make me welcome, pouring down honor
from your mighty hand,
and this joy fills me with gladness;
it is too much to bear:

4. Your goodness always is with me
and your mercy I know.
Your loving kindness strengthens me always
as I go through life.
I shall dwell in your presence forever,
giving praise to your name:

or 802 Loving Shepherd of Thy sheep


Loving Shepherd of Thy sheep,
keep me, Lord, in safety keep;
nothing can Thy power withstand,
none can pluck me from Thy hand.

Loving Shepherd, Thou didst give
Thine own life that I might live,
may I love Thee day by day,
gladly Thy sweet will obey. 

Loving Shepherd, ever near,
teach me still Thy voice to hear;
suffer not my steps to stray
from the straight and narrow way.

Where Thou leadest may I go,
walking in Thy steps below;
then before Thy Father’s throne,
Jesu, claim me for Thine own.


Final   320 Hail, Redeemer, King divine

Hail Redeemer, King divine!

Lord of life, earth, sky and sea,
King of love on Calvary!"

rule our minds, our hearts, our wills,
till in peace, each nation rings
with thy praises, King of kings. (refrain)

King most holy, King of truth,
guard the lowly, guide the youth;
Christ the King of glory bright,
be to us eternal light. (refrain)

Shepherd-king, o'er mountains steep
homeward bring the wandering sheep;
shelter in one royal fold
states and kingdoms, new and old. (refrain)

Entrance 321 Crown him with many crowns

Crown him with many crowns, 
the Lamb upon his throne.
Hark! How the heavenly anthem drowns 
all music but its own.
Awake, my soul, and sing of him 
who died for thee,
and hail him as thy matchless King 
through all eternity.

Crown him the virgin's Son, 
the God incarnate born,
whose arm those crimson trophies won 
which now His brow adorn;
fruit of the mystic rose, 
as of that rose the stem;
the root whence mercy ever flows, 
the Babe of Bethlehem.

Crown him the Lord of love.
Behold his hands and side,
Rich wounds, yet visible above,
In beauty glorified.
No angels in the sky
Can fully bear that sight,
But downward bend their burning eyes
At mysteries so bright.

Crown him the Lord of peace, 
whose power a sceptre sways
from pole to pole, that wars may cease, 
and all be prayer and praise.
his reign shall know no end, 
and round his pierced feet
fair flowers of paradise extend
their fragrance ever sweet.

Crown him the Lord of Heaven, 
one with the Father known,
and the blest Spirit through him given 
from yonder triune throne:
all hail, Redeemer, hail,
for thou hast died for me;
thy praise shall never, never fail
throughout eternity.

Refrain:
In the breaking of the bread
We have known him; we have been fed.
Jesus the stranger, Jesus the Lord,
Be our companion, be our hope.

Bread for the journey, strength for our years,
manna of ages of struggle and tears.
Cup of salvation, fruit of the land,
bless and receive now the work of our hands. (refrain)

Bread for the promise, people of hope,
wine of compassion, life for the world.
Gathered at table, joined as his body,
sealed in the Spirit, sent by the Lord. (refrain)

Communion 1:  871 Lord you have come to the seashore

Lord, You have come to the seashore
Neither searching for the rich nor the wise
desiring only that I should follow.

Refrain:
O Lord, with Your eyes set upon me,
gently smiling, You have spoken my name;
All I longed for I have found by the water.
At your side, I will seek other shores.

Lord, see my goods, my possessions;
in my boat you find no power, no wealth
Will you accept then my nets and labour?
(Refrain)

Lord, take my hands and direct them
Help me spend myself in seeking the lost
returning love for the love you gave me.
(Refrain)

Lord, as I drift on the waters
be the resting place of my restful heart
my life's companion, my friend and refuge
(Refrain)

Communion 2:  760 All Heaven Declares

All heaven declares the glory of the risen Lord
Who can compare with the beauty of the Lord?
Forever He will be (Forever He will be)
The Lamb upon the throne (The Lamb upon the throne)
I gladly bow the knee (I gladly bow the knee)
And worship Him alone

I will proclaim the glory of the risen Lord
Who once was slain to reconcile man to God
Forever You will be (Forever You will be)
The Lamb upon the throne (The Lamb upon the throne)
I gladly bow my knee (I gladly bow my knee)
And worship You alone
(Repeat verse 1 with descant)

Final 866 I will be with you

Refrain:
I will be with you wherever you go
Go now throughout the world!
I will be with you in all that you say
Go now and spread my word!

1. Come walk with me on stormy waters
Why fear? reach out, and I'll be there

2. And you, my friend, will you now leave me,
or do you know me as your Lord?

3. Your life will be transformed with power
by living truly in My name

4. And if you say: 'Yes, Lord I love you'
then feed my lambs and feed my sheep.
