O Lord, we thank Thee for this chance anew, To turn our nation’s heart to Thee alone, A gift of grace America holds in view, That Thou art God, our only cornerstone. May we, as one, proclaim Thy holy reign, The land we love beneath Thy sovereign care, No other lord shall claim our soul’s domain, For Thou dost rule with mercy rich and rare. Thy lavish love upon our fields does pour, A flood of kindness we could ne’er deserve, We praise Thee, Lord, from shore to shining shore, Thy will our guide, Thy truth our hearts preserve. So here we stand, redeemed by grace divine, One nation blest, forever wholly Thine.
Because our Savior’s grandeur reigns supreme, A royal heir dares lift a fervent prayer, To Him, the Sovereign of the cosmic gleam, Lord of the universe, beyond compare.
With faith unwavering, steadfast, bold, and high, Mountains quake and yield before His might, The impossible bends ‘neath His sovereign sky, Through hope-filled cries, His power shines alight.
O praise our King, enthroned in splendor vast, Whose greatness spans the heavens’ endless frame, Magnificent, eternal, unsurpassed, All glory crowns His everlasting name!
We, truly born anew by grace divine, Hold favor from our Triune God sublime. Innumerable blessings freely flow, Through Jesus Christ, our Lord, we know. A treasury of wealth beyond all price, Unfurls in gifts from His sacrifice— Here but a glimpse, a radiant few, Of ceaseless riches ever true!
Justified, we stand in holy sight, Redeemed from darkness into light, Regenerate, with life reborn, New creatures rise, no longer torn. Through prayer, we seek the King of Kings, Sonship and daughtership He brings, Joint-heirs with Christ, His throne to share, Reconciled by love beyond compare.
Forgiveness washes every stain, Eternal life, our grand refrain, To Heaven’s courts our souls ascend, The mind of Christ, our thought’s new friend. The Spirit dwells within our frame, Resurrection crowns His name! These gifts, a fraction of His store, Bless us beyond what we implore.
O blessed are we, redeemed, restored, With treasures vast from Christ our Lord, Born again, in ceaseless praise we sing, To Him, our all, our conquering King!
Whether the approval, applause, or adoration of a sin-stained world surrounds us, it matters little— for we bask in the celebratory delight of our Triune God, the resounding cheers of Heaven, and the shield of angelic armies wielding the armory of eternity!
Rejoice! The battle is not ours to bear— it belongs to our mighty, untiring, majestic Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who reigns ceaselessly over Heaven and Earth, the soon-coming King enthroned forever! Yes, we know—with unshakable certainty— that our King of Kings and Lord of Lords holds sovereign sway, unchanging, eternal.
Oh, let us always rejoice! For the royal hope within us is Emmanuel—God with us— Jesus Christ, dwelling in our hearts, the gift beyond all gifts. Be jubilant, find your all in all in our Lord and Savior: Creator of worlds, Prophet of truth, Priest of grace, gentle Shepherd, Redeemer of souls, Author of salvation, fierce and just Holy Warrior, and truest Friend everlasting!
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Romans 1:16 (KJV)
For the soul reborn, authentic and true, Boldness blooms where faith runs deep, A herald’s cry for our Savior so dear, His holy ways, a treasure to keep. With hearts aflame, we dance in His light, Divine joy swells, pure and vast, Unashamed of the gospel’s might, We sing His truth to the last. O stand unflinching, bold and free, For Christ our King, till time is done— Till He descends in glory’s gleam, Or calls us home, face to face, as one.
One humble prayer, a holy plea, Can shift the world, its wonders wake, For our Father reigns, the King of Kings, His throne eternal, none forsake. May prayer rise ceaseless, pure, divine, A sacred discourse, heart to soul, Weaving dreams vast, needs deep, hopes high, To claim the lost, to make them whole. O privilege sweet, this holy call, To seek His will, His kingdom’s gain, For precious souls, eternal, prized, Through saving grace, forever reign.
With our Savior abiding deep within, Our earthly frames, His sacred keep, Each dawn unfurls a joyous chance, A dance of holy wonders steep. Impossibilities bow to His might, In temples frail yet Spirit-filled, Every day, a radiant delight, His boundless grace forever spilled.
Emmanuel, God with us, the timeless strain, A song of ages, from dawn to now unfurled, Through ancient scrolls and modern tongue proclaimed, A golden thread that binds the weary world. His name resounds, a gift beyond compare, Salvation flows through Christ’s redeeming blood, Pulpits thunder, pages gleam with prayer, Extolling grace, the Savior’s boundless flood.
Emmanuel has hushed the mourner’s cry, Stilled trembling hearts with strength divine, To dying saints, His presence drawing nigh, A balm for souls where mortal hopes decline. For the persecuted, bruised yet bold, Whose pleas stir Heaven’s tearful gaze, Emmanuel, their fortress unconsoled, Lifts battle-weary spirits with His rays.
God with us, the anthem of the skies, Messiah’s melody, both fierce and sweet, A symphony cascading where faith lies, Redeemed souls kneel at His majestic feet. Clothed in robes of gold, with gems arrayed, The royal redeemed in awe confess, Emmanuel, our sun, our hearts’ crusade, In worship, praise, and holy tenderness.
From Genesis’ breath to Revelation’s close, His promise echoes, steadfast, pure, and grand, Oh, blessed kin, in royal lineage chose, With King of Kings, we ever firmly stand! Shout it loud—Emmanuel, arise! Sing, scribe, and paint His radiant gleam, The gift of gifts within our souls enskies, Restoring life in His eternal stream.
Emmanuel, our battle cry, our psalm, The angels’ herald, saints’ abiding plea, God with us, the promise ever calm, For all who turn, believe, and bend the knee. Let this motif, triumphant, royal, rare, Weave through our days, a holy, ceaseless call, Emmanuel, God with us, beyond compare, Our song, our strength, our Savior, all in all!
