No greater honor can we claim, Nor privilege shines with brighter flame, Than this: redeemed, we bear His mind, Christ’s thoughts in us, so pure, refined.
Through grace and knowledge, day by day, In Bible study, prayer’s sweet sway, We grow in Christ, our Lord, our Guide, His will with ours becomes allied.
Oh, praise our Savior, Lord of might, For benefits that gleam so bright! Miraculous, ceaseless, ever near, His love transforms us year by year!
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!
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!
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!
O what glad and joyous greetings rise, When in prayer we seek our Savior’s face, To speak, to ponder, plead beneath His skies, To grieve, repent, and bask in boundless grace. To worship, learn His holy, tender ways, To dwell within His presence, unmatched, divine— O what jubilant welcome crowns our days, When Christ, our Lord, bids us to intertwine! A privilege rare, a blessing deep and sweet, This joy of prayer, where mortal meets the King, In fellowship with Him, our hearts replete, His glorious love makes every soul take wing.
I dream of Heaven’s halls aglow, Where chandeliers in radiant streams cascade, Diamonds dance with pink sapphires’ glow, Rubies flare, and emeralds softly fade. Malachite swirls, rhodochrosite gleams, Topaz sparkles, smoky quartz shines through, Amethysts sing, pearls weave their dreams, A jeweled splendor ever fresh and new. In rooms and homes of God’s eternal reign, The Triune King adorns His boundless space— Yet midst this glory, one Light shall remain, The truest brilliance, Christ’s unrivaled grace.
For He, the Lord, the King of Kings Most High, The Light of Worlds, all beauty’s sovereign source, Outshines the gems that dazzle mortal eye, His radiance reigns with uncreated force. O wondrous home, our Heaven’s vast estate, Its marvels call through endless years to roam, Yet Jesus Christ, the Chandelier of Fate, Illumes forever our eternal home.
