Tune: Come Thou Almighty King (F. de Giardini)

1. Glory to God on High, Let earth and heav'n reply,

"Praise ye His name!"

His love and grace adore, Who all our sorrows bore;

Sing aloud evermore, "WORTHY THE LAMB!"

2. Jesus, our Lord and God, Bore sin's tremendous load!

Praise ye His name!

Tell what His arm has done, What spoils from death He won,

Sing His great name alone, "WORTHY THE LAMB!"

3. While they around the throne Cheerfully join in one,

Praising His name!

Ye who have seen His blood Sealing your peace with God,

Sound His dear name abroad "WORTHY THE LAMB!"

The believer is perfect in Christ; but in himself he is a poor, feeble creature, ever liable to fall. Oh, the unspeakable blessedness of having One who can manage all his affairs for him at the right hand of the Majesty in the heavens; One who upholds him always by His right hand; ONE WHO WILL NEVER LET HIM GO; One who is “the same yesterday, today, and forever;” One who will bear him through all the difficulties and dangers which surround him and finally present him FAULTLESS before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy. Blessed forever be the grace that has made such provision for all our need in the blood of a spotless victim and the intercession of a Divine High Priest! --Scott Richardson

When I was young, I was sure of many things. But now that I am old, there are only two things which I am sure of:

1) One is that I am a miserable sinner!

2) Secondly, that Christ is an all-sufficient Savior!

He is well taught-who learns these two lessons.

“This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.” 1 Timothy 1:15 --John Newton

“Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.” Revelation 7:10

The Father . . .

decreed it,

willed it,

planned it.

His love chose every one of that vast multitude in His Son.

His grace gave the whole number to be . . .

His bride,

His jewels,

His crown.

His wisdom contrived the mode by which they should be cleansed from every stain, and gloriously enrobed in righteousness; and by the Spirit's power be purified, fitted, sanctified.

Every stone in salvation's beauteous fabric was selected, prepared, and placed by a loving Father's hand.

Salvation belongs to our God!

“Salvation is of the LORD.” --Henry Law
