MP 465 Meekness and majesty
-
Meekness and majesty,
manhood and deity,
in perfect harmony,
the man who is God:
Lord of eternity
dwells in humanity,
kneels in humility
and washes our feet.
O what a mystery,
meekness and majesty:
bow down and worship,
for this is your God,
this is your God!
-
Father’s pure radiance,
perfect in innocence,
yet learns obedience
to death on a cross:
suffering to give us life,
conquering through sacrifice;
and, as they crucify,
prays, ‘Father, forgive.’
O what a mystery,
meekness and majesty:
bow down and worship,
for this is your God,
this is your God!
-
Wisdom unsearchable,
God the invisible,
Love indestructible
in frailty appears.
Lord of infinity;
stooping so tenderly,
lifts our humanity
to the heights of His throne.
O what a mystery,
meekness and majesty:
bow down and worship,
for this is your God,
this is your God!

MP 708 To God be the glory
-
To God be the glory!
great things He hath done;
so loved He the world
that He gave us His Son;
who yielded His life
an atonement for sin,
and opened the life gate
that all may go in.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord!
let the earth hear His voice;
praise the Lord, praise the Lord!
let the people rejoice:
O come to the Father,
through Jesus the Son
and give Him the glory;
great things He hath done!
-
O perfect redemption,
the purchase of blood!
to every believer the promise of God;
the vilest offender who truly believes,
that moment from Jesus
a pardon receives.
Praise the Lord ...
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord!
let the earth hear His voice;
praise the Lord, praise the Lord!
let the people rejoice:
O come to the Father,
through Jesus the Son
and give Him the glory;
great things He hath done!
-
Great things He hath taught us,
great things He hath done,
and great our rejoicing
through Jesus the Son;
but purer, and higher,
and greater will be
our wonder, our rapture,
when Jesus we see.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord!
let the earth hear His voice;
praise the Lord, praise the Lord!
let the people rejoice:
O come to the Father,
through Jesus the Son
and give Him the glory;
great things He hath done!
