Crown Him with Many Crowns
Hymn 34
1st Stanza
Crown Him with many crowns,The Lamb upon His throne:Hark! how the heav’nly anthem drownsAll music but its own!
1st Stanza continued
Awake, my soul, and sing Of Him who died for thee,And hail Him as thy matchless KingThrough all eternity.
2nd Stanza
Crown Him the Lord of love:Behold His hands and side – Rich wounds, yet visible above,In beauty glorified;
2nd Stanza continued
No angel in the skyCan fully bear that sight,But downward bends his wond’ring eyeAt mysteries so bright.
3rd Stanza
Crown Him the Lord of life:Who triumphed o’er the grave,
3rd Stanza continued
Who rose victorious to the strifeFor those He came to save;
3rd Stanza continued
His glories now we sing,Who died and rose on high,Who died eternal life to bringAnd lives that death may die.
Last Stanza
Crown Him the Lord of heav’n:One with the Father known,One with the Spirit through Him giv’n From yonder glorious throne.
Last Stanza continued
To Thee be endless praise, For Thou for us hast died;Be Thou, O Lord, through endless daysAdored and magnified.

is now and ever shall be,world without end.

Scripture Reading
in Unison
Psalm 95
1 O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
3 For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.
5 The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.
7 For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,
8 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
10 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
11 Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.
It Is A Thing Most Wonderful
Hymn 187
1st Stanza
It is a thing most wonderful,Almost too wonderful to be,
1st Stanza continued
That God’s own Son should come from heav’nAnd die to save a child like me.
2nd Stanza
And yet I know that it is true:He came to this poor world below,
2nd Stanza continued
And wept and toiled and mourned and died,Only because He loved us so.
3rd Stanza
I cannot tell how He could loveA child so weak and full of sin;
3rd Stanza continued
His love must be most wonderful,If He could die my love to win.
4th Stanza
I sometimes think about His cross,And shut my eyes, and try to see
4th Stanza continued
The cruel nails, and crown of thorns,And Jesus crucified for me.
5th Stanza
But even could I see Him die,I could but see a little part
5th Stanza continued
Of that great love which, like a fire,Is always burning in His heart.
6th Stanza
It is most wonderful to knowHis love for me so free and sure;
6th Stanza continued
But ’tis more wonderful to seeMy love for Him so faint and poor.
Last Stanza
And yet I want to love Thee, Lord:O light the flame within my heart,
Last Stanza continued
And I will love Thee more and more,Until I see Thee as Thou art!

Last Stanza
Father, I have wandered from Thee,Often has my heart gone astray;我舆天父相隔疏远,邪思恶念筑成墙垣,

Crimson do my sins seem to me –Water cannot wash them away.无数罪恶重压身心,单用水洗何得洁净,
Last Stanza continued
Jesus, to that Fountain of Thine,Leaning on Thy promise, I go;今日纔知靠主恩典,一心投奔求主可怜。

Cleanse me by Thy washing divine,And I shall be whiter than snow.用祢宝血洗我罪孽, 使我成为洁白於雪。
