Introit: “God be in my head” H. Walford Davies
Hymn: All
hail the power of Jesus’ name!
Before Him angels fall,
before Him angels fall.
Bring forth the royal
diadem
and crown Him, crown Him,
crown Him, crown Him,
and crown Him Lord of all.
Crown Him, you
martyrs of our God,
who for His justice call,
who for His justice call;
exalt the One whose path you
trod,
Descendants of His chosen
race,
redeemed from Adam’s fall,
redeemed from Adam’s fall,
hail Him who saves you by His
grace,
Let every people, nation,
tribe,
on this terrestrial ball,
on this terrestrial ball,
to Him all majesty ascribe,
Edward
Perronet, 1726-1792 and John Rippon,
1751-1836

Hymn: Cross of Jesus, Cross of
Sorrow,
Where
the Blood of Christ was shed,
Perfect
man on thee was tortured,
Perfect
God on thee has bled.
Here
the King of all the ages,
Throned in light ere worlds could be
Robed
in mortal flesh is dying,
Crucified by sin for me.
O
mysterious condescending!
O
abandonment sublime!
Very
God Himself is bearing
All
the sufferings of time!
Cross of Jesus, Cross of Sorrow,
Where
the Blood of Christ was shed
Perfect
man on thee was tortured,
Perfect
God on thee has bled.

Hymn: When I survey the wondrous Cross
on which the Prince of glory died,
my richest gain I count but loss,
and pour contempt on all my pride.
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast
save in the Cross of Christ, my God;
all the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to his Blood.
See from his head, his hands, his feet,
sorrow and love flow mingled down;
did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
or thorns compose so rich a crown?
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
that were an offering far too small;
love so amazing, so divine
demands my soul, my life, my all.
