Crown Him with Many Crowns
Hymn 234
Crown Him with many crowns, The Lamb upon His throne;Hark! how the heav’nly 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 Lord of love; Behold His hands and side—Rich wounds, yet visible above, In beauty glorified.No angel in the sky Can fully bear that sight,But downward bends his wondering eye At mysteries so bright.
Crown Him the Lord of life; Who triumphed o’er the grave,Who rose victorious to the strife For those He came to save.His glories now we sing, Who died and rose on high,Who died eternal life to bring And lives that death may die.
Crown Him the Lord of heav’n; One with the Father known,One with the Spirit through Him giv’n From yonder glorious throne.To Thee be endless praise, For Thou for us hast died;Be Thou, O Lord, through endless days, Adored and magnified.
In Christ Alone
In Christ alone my hope is found,He is my light, my strength, my song;This Cornerstone, this solid Ground,Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.What heights of love, what depths of peace,When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!My Comforter, my All in All,Here in the love of Christ I stand.
In Christ alone!—who took on flesh,Fullness of God in helpless Babe!This gift of love and righteousness,Scorned by the ones He came to save:’Til on that cross as Jesus died,The wrath of God was satisfied—For ev’ry sin on Him was laid;Here in the death of Christ I live.

In Christ Alone
In Christ alone my hope is found,He is my light, my strength, my song;This Cornerstone, this solid Ground,Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.What heights of love, what depths of peace,When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!My Comforter, my All in All,Here in the love of Christ I stand.
In Christ alone!—who took on flesh,Fullness of God in helpless Babe!This gift of love and righteousness,Scorned by the ones He came to save:’Til on that cross as Jesus died,The wrath of God was satisfied—For ev’ry sin on Him was laid;Here in the death of Christ I live.
Christ the Lord Is Risen Today
Hymn 217
Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia!Sons of men and angels say: Alleluia!Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply: Alleluia!
Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia!Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!Dying once He all doth save, Alleluia!Where thy victory, O grave? Alleluia!
Love’s redeeming work is done, Alleluia!Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia!Death in vain forbids Him rise, Alleluia!Christ hath opened paradise, Alleluia!
Soar we now where Christ has led, Alleluia!Following our exalted Head, Alleluia!Made like Him, like Him we rise, Alleluia!Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, Alleluia!
There in the ground His body lay,Light of the world by darkness slain:Then bursting forth in glorious DayUp from the grave He rose again!And as He stands in victorySin’s curse has lost its grip on me,For I am His and He is mine—Bought with the precious blood of Christ.
No guilt in life, no fear in death,This is the power of Christ in me;From life’s first cry to final breath,Jesus commands my destiny.No power of hell, no scheme of man,Can ever pluck me from His hand;’Til He returns or calls me home, Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand!

Prayer / Praise
• Pray for the Lord’s grace in the lives of our first-year students. The first year is always demanding, with difficulties in finances as well as facing the clear teaching of God’s Word that often challenges their theology.
• Pray for the successful accreditation of our bachelor’s degree program, which will help us avoid further accreditation issues as we offer additional degrees.
Faith PromiseThank you for helping our missionary families. Due to your generosity, last week we collected $18,819 for a running total of $937,150.
