We decided to attend Hawthorn Presbyterian Church this morning only to find out upon arrival that the service marked the 150th anniversary of the congregation’s beginning.
A time of worship, thanksgiving and affirming timeless truths, a Saviour who is the same yesterday, today and forever.
Among the songs of praise was Name Of All Majesty.
The lyrics:
1.
Name of all majesty,
fathomless mystery,
King of the ages
by angels adored;
power and authority,
splendour and dignity,
bow to his mastery,
Jesus is Lord!
2.
Child of our destiny,
God from eternity,
love of the Father
on sinners outpoured;
see now what God has done
sending his only Son,
Christ the beloved One,
Jesus is Lord!
3.
Saviour of Calvary,
costliest victory,
darkness defeated
and Eden restored;
born as a man to die,
nailed to a cross on high,
cold in the grave to lie,
Jesus is Lord!
Source of all sovereignty,
light, immortality,
life everlasting
and heaven assured;
so with the ransomed, we
praise him eternally,
Christ in his majesty,
Jesus is Lord!
Timothy Dudley-Smith
