1

Awake, my soul, to joyful lays.

And sing thy great Redeemer’s praise,

He justly claims a song from me:

His loving-kindness, O how free!

2

He saw me ruined in the fall,

Yet loved me notwithstanding all;

He saved me from my lost estate:

His loving-kindness, O how great!

3

When I was Satan’s easy prey,

And deep in debt and bondage lay,

He paid His life for my discharge;

His loving-kindness, O how large!

4

Though numerous hosts of mighty foes,

Though earth and hell my way oppose,

He safely leads my soul along:

His loving-kindness, O how strong!

5

When trouble, like a gloomy cloud,

Has gathered thick and thundered loud,

He near my soul has always stood:

His loving-kindness, O how good!

6

So oft I feel my sinful heart

Prone from my Jesus to depart;

But though I have Him oft forget,

His loving-kindness changes not.

7

When I will pass death’s gloomy vale,

And all my mortal power must fail,

O may my last expiring breath

His loving-kindness sing in death.

1

All hail the power of Jesus’ name,

Let angels prostrate fall;

Bring forth the royal diadem,

And crown Him Lord of all.

Crown Him, ye martyrs of your God,

Who from His altar call;

Extol the stem of Jesse’s rod,

And crown Him Lord of all.

2

Ye seed of Israel’s chosen race,

Ye ransomed from the fall,

Hail Him who saves you by His grace,

And crown Him lord of all.

Hail Him, ye heirs of David’s line,

Whom David Lord did call,

The God incarnate, man divine,

And crown Him Lord of all.

3

Sinners, whose love can ne’er forget

The wormwood and the gall,

Go spread your trophies at His feet,

And crown Him Lord of all.

Let every tribe and every tongue

Before Him prostrate fall,

And shout in universal song,

The crowned Lord of all.

1

One there is above all others,

Well deserves the name of friend;

His is love beyond a brother’s,

Costly, free, and knows no end;

They who once His kindness prove

Find it everlasting love.

2

Which of all our friends, to save us,

Could or would have shed his blood?

But our Jesus died to have us

Reconciled in Him to God;

This was boundless love indeed;

Jesus is a friend in need.

3

When He lived on earth abased

Friend of sinners was His name;

Now above all glories raised,

He rejoices in the same;

Still He calls them brethren, friends,

And to all their wants attends.

4

O for grace our hearts to soften!

Teach us, Lord at length to love.

We, alas, forget too often

What a friend we have above;

But when home our souls are brought

We will love Thee as we ought.

Sermon by Rev. Jake Zabel of St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Dalby, Queensland, Australia.

1

Love divine, all loves excelling,

Joy of heaven, to earth come down,

Fix in us Thy humble dwelling,

All Thy faithful mercies crown.

Jesus, Thou art all compassion,

Pure unbounded love Thou art;

Visit us with Thy salvation,

Enter every trembling heart.

2

Come, almighty to deliver,

Let us all Thy grace receive;

Suddenly return, and never,

Never more Thy temples leave.

Thee we would be always blessing,

Serve Thee as Thy hosts above;

Pray, and praise Thee, without ceasing,

Glory in Thy perfect love.

3

Finish then Thy new creation,

Pure and spotless let us be;

Let us see Thy great salvation,

Perfectly restored in Thee;

Changed from glory into glory,

Till in heaven we take our place,

Till we cast our crowns before Thee,

Lost in wonder, love, and praise.
