1

Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly dove,

Come to Thy people from above,

Fill them with graces, and restore

Thy creatures as they were before.

2

For Comforter is Thy sweet name,

A gift which from the highest came,

A precious ointment from above,

A living fount, a fire of love.

3

Our minds enlighten, and inspire

Our souls with love’s celestial fire;

And since Thou know’st how frail we be,

Confirm and make us strong in Thee.

4

Drive far away our wily foe,

And by Thy grace sweet peace bestow

That in Thy footsteps we may run

And soul-destroying mischief shun.

5

Let us by Thee the Father know,

His Son, Christ Jesus, also show,

That full of faith we may know Thee

Derived from both eternally.

6

To God the Father, and the Son.

Who rose again, be honour done,

With Him who came at Pentecost,

The Comforter, the Holy Ghost.

1

O my God I cry to Thee

Because my sins have covered me

I'm too ashamed to lift my face

My sins have left me in disgrace

2

O my God I cry to Thee

Because of my iniquity

Has risen to the heights of heav’n

I pray my cry to Thee has ris’n

3

O my God I cry to Thee

I know that Thou hast set me free

From all my guilt, and all my sin

Thy Son’s death didst salvation win

4

O my God I cry to Thee

I thank Thee for redeeming me

By the blood of Thy gracious Son

Through Jesus Christ the vict’ry won

Words by Rev. Jake Zabel

1

O come, O come, Immanuel,

And ransom captive Israel,

That mourns in lonely exile here,

Until the Son of God appear;

Rejoice, rejoice! Immanuel

Shall come to you, O Israel

2

O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free

Thine own from Satan’s tyranny;

From depths of hell Thy people save,

And give them victory o’er the grave:

3

O come, Thou Dayspring come and cheer

Our spirits by Thine advent here;

Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,

And death's dark shadows put to flight.

4

O come, Thou Key of David, come

And open wide our heavenly home;

Make safe the path that leads on high,

And close the path to misery:

5

O come, O come, thou Lord of might,

Who to Thy tribes on Sinai's height

In ancient times didst give the law

In cloud and majesty, and awe.

6

O come, our Wisdom from on high,

Who ordered all things mightily,

To us the path of knowledge show,

And teach us in her ways to go.

7

O come, King of nations, bind,

In one the hearts of all mankind,

Oh bid our sad divisions cease,

And be Thyself our King of Peace.

1

Rejoice, the Lord is King!

Your Lord and King adore;

Mortals, give thanks and sing,

And triumph evermore:

Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;

Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.

2

Jesus, The Saviour, reigns,

The God of truth and love;

When He had purged our stains,

He took His seat above:

Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;

Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.

3

His kingdom cannot fail;

He rules o’er earth and heaven;

The keys of death and hell

Are to our Jesus given:

Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;

Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.

4

He sits at God’s right hand

Till all His foes submit,

And bow to His command,

And fall beneath His feet:

Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;

Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.

On this episode we have a conversation with Pastor Edgar Mayer of Living Grace Church in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia

1

See, the Conqueror mounts in triumph,

See the King in royal state,

Riding on the clouds, His chariot,

To His heavenly palace gate!

Hark! The choirs of angel voices

Joyful hallelujahs sing,

And the portals high are lifted

To receive their heavenly King.

2

Who is this that comes in glory,

With the trump of jubilee?

Lord of battles, God of armies,

He has gained the victory.

He who on the cross did suffer,

He who from the grave arose,

He has vanquished sin and Satan,

He by death has spoiled His foes.

3

While He lifts His hands in blessing,

He is parted from His friends;

While their eager eyes behold Him,

He upon the cloud ascends;

He who walked with God and pleased Him,

Preaching truth and doom to come,

He, our Enoch, is translated

To His everlasting home.

4

Now our heavenly Aaron enters,

With His blood, within the veil’

Joshua now is come to Canaan,

And the kings before Him quail;

Now He plants the tribes of Israel

In their promised resting-place;

Now our great Elijah offers

Double portion of His grace.

5

Thou hast raised our human nature

On the clouds to God’s right hand;

There we sit in heavenly places,

There with Thee in glory stand.

Jesus reigns, adored by angels,

Man with God is on the throne;

Mighty Lord, in Thine ascension

We by faith behold our own.

1

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.

2

Crown Him the Son of God

Before the world began;

And ye, who tread where He hath trod,

Crown Him the Son of man,

Who every grief hath known

that wrings the human breast,

And takes and bears them for His own,

That all in Him may rest.

3

Crown Him, the Lord of love;

Behold His hands and side,

Those wounds yet visible above

In beauty glorified:

All hail, Redeemer, Hail!

For Thou hast died for me;

Thy praise shall never, never fail

Throughout eternity.

4

Crown Him the Lord of life,

Who triumphed o’er the grave,

And rose victorious in 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.

5

Crown Him the Lord of heaven,

Enthroned in worlds above;

Crown Him the King to whom is given

The wondrous name of Love:

Crown Him with many crowns

As thrones before Him fall;

Crown Him, ye kings, with many crowns,

For He is King of all.
