With a praying heart for God's Self-revelation, gaze upon the beauty of Christ in the Word. Here are the songs that will be used in corporate worship tomorrow morning:
“Crown Him with Many Crowns”
Bridge,Thring/Elvey
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.
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.
Crown Him the Lord of love; behold His hands and side,
Rich wounds, yet visible above, in beauty glorified;
No angels in the sky can fully bear that sight,
But downward bend their burning eyes at mysteries so bright.
Crown Him the Lord of years, the Potentate of time,
Creator of the rolling spheres, ineffably sublime.
All hail, Redeemer, hail! For Thou hast died for me;
Thy praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity.

“Fairest Lord Jesus”
Christy Nockels, Nathan Nockels
Fairest Lord Jesus, ruler of all nature!
O Thou of God and man the Son!
Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor,
Thou, my soul's glory, joy, and crown.
Fair are the meadows; fairer still the woodlands,
Robed in the blooming garb of spring.
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer,
Who makes the woeful heart to sing.
Chorus
You are fairer still today.
You are fairer still today.
Precious Jesus Lord,
You are adored as we worship,
As we worship.
Fair is the sunshine, fairer still the moonlight,
And all the twinkling, starry host.
Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer,
Than all the angels heav’n can boast.
Chorus
Beautiful Savior! Lord of all nations!
Son of God and Son of man!
Glory and honor, praise, adoration,
Now and forevermore be Thine!

“Before the Throne of God Above”
Bancroft / V. Cook
Before the throne of God above
I have a strong a perfect plea.
A great High Priest whose name is love,
Who ever lives and pleads for me.
My name is graven on His hands,
My name is written on His heart.
I know that while in heav’n He stands,
No tongue can bid me thence depart,
No tongue can bid me thence depart.
When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within.
Upward I look and see Him there,
Who made an end of all my sin.
Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free.
For God the just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me,
To look on Him and pardon me.
Behold Him there the Risen Lamb,
My perfect spotless Righteousness.
The Great Unchangeable I am,
The King of glory and of grace.
One with Himself I cannot die,
My soul is purchased by His blood.
My life is hid with Christ on high
With Christ my Savior and my God,
With Christ my Savior and my God.

“At the Name of Jesus”
Caroline M. Noel/James Mountain
At the Name of Jesus, every knee shall bow,
Every tongue confess Him King of glory now;
’Tis the Father’s pleasure we should call Him Lord,
Who from the beginning was the mighty Word.
Mighty and mysterious in the highest height,
God from everlasting, very light of light:
In the Father’s bosom with the spirit blest,
Love, in love eternal, rest, in perfect rest.
At His voice creation sprang at once to sight,
All the angel faces, all the hosts of light,
Thrones and dominations, stars upon their way,
All the heavenly orders, in their great array.
Humbled for a season, to receive a name
From the lips of sinners unto whom He came,
Faithfully He bore it, spotless to the last,
Brought it back victorious when from death He passed.
Bore it up triumphant with its human light,
Through all ranks of creatures, to the central height,
To the throne of Godhead, to the Father’s breast;
Filled it with the glory of that perfect rest.
Name Him, brothers, name Him, with love strong as death
But with awe and wonder, and with bated breath!
He is God the Savior, He is Christ the Lord,
Ever to be worshipped, trusted and adored.
In your hearts enthrone Him; there let Him subdue
All that is not holy, all that is not true;
Crown Him as your Captain in temptation’s hour;
Let His will enfold you in its light and power.
Brothers, this Lord Jesus shall return again,
With His Father’s glory, with His angel train;
For all wreaths of empire meet upon His brow,
And our hearts confess Him King of glory now.

“Rock of Ages”
Toplady/Hastings
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in Thee,
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure, save from wrath and make me pure.
Could my tears forever flow, could my zeal no languor know,
These for sin could not atone,
Thou must save and Thou alone.
In my hand no price I bring, simply to Thy cross I cling.
While I draw this fleeting breath, when my eyes shall close in death,
When I rise to worlds unknown,
And behold Thee on Thy throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in Thee.
