the Lamb upon his throne:
hark, how the heavenly anthem drowns
all music but its own!

who died for thee,
and hail him as thy matchless King
through all eternity.
2 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.
3 Crown him the Lord of peace,
whose power a sceptre sways
from pole to pole, that wars may cease,
absorbed in prayer and praise.
His reign shall know no end;
and round his pierced feet
fair flowers of paradise extend
their fragrance ever sweet.
4 Crown him the Lord of love;
behold his hands and side,
rich wounds yet visible above
in beauty glorified.

for thou hast died for me;
thy praise shall never, never fail
throughout eternity. Topics: Jesus, the Lamb; Praise of God; Reign of Christ; Ascension and Exaltation Used With Tune: DIADEMATA

till they inward light impart,

pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
fill me, Radiancy divine,
scatter all my unbelief;

while the depths of hell before thee
trembling and defeated bow.

follow thee above the sky;
hear our prayers thy grace imploring,
lift our souls to thee on high.

on the clouds of heaven shalt shine
we thy flock may stand before thee,
owned for evermore as thine.

Creator God, the world around
Author: Brian Hoare (b. 1935) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Hebrews 1:1-3 Lyrics: 1 Creator God, the world around
declares your glory — flower and tree,
the evening sky and torrent's sound
and mountain stream and rolling sea.
Yet all this beauty cannot show
a God whom we can truly know.
2 Composer God, all music sings
your power, your praise, your majesty:
in drum and trumpet, flute and strings,
in choir and song and symphony.
Yet music which inspires our praise
can never fathom all your ways.
3 Designer God, in shape and form
the beauty you inspire is shown;
in line and colour, etched or drawn,
in sculpture, painting, glass and stone.
Yet all these talents can't express
the full truth of your loveliness.
4 Mysterious God, though all the arts
of nature and of human skill
may move us, yet our longing hearts
are never satisfied until
in Jesus Christ you show your face:
a God of love and truth and grace. Topics: Arts and Creativity; Beauty; Creation; Creation and the Environment; God in mystery; Longing; Music and Song Used With Tune: MELITA
