Introductory pages - New Creation Teaching Ministry

5. The songs of the heavens break forth,
As myriads thunder their lays:
The anthems of centuries burst
In loveʼs most glorious praise.
6. The Ark of the Covenant stands
Aglow in the Temple of God;
The Mercy Seat proudly proclaims
The power of Covenant blood.
7. The life of the Spirit floods all,
The love of the Son is aflame:
The grace of the Father has won
The heart that wept in its shame.
8. All glory to Covenant grace,
To Father, and Spirit, and Son:
All glory forever to Him
Who rules all creation in one.

1. The head that once was crowned with
thorns
Is crowned with glory now:
A royal diadem adorns
The mighty Victorʼs brow.
2. The highest place that heaven affords
Is His by sovereign right:
The King of kings and Lord of lords,
He reigns in perfect light.
3. The joy of all who dwell above,
The joy of all below,
To whom He manifests His love,
And grants His name to know.
4. To them the cross, with all its shame,
With all its grace, is given:
Their name an everlasting name,
Their joy the joy of heaven.
5. They suffer with their Lord below;
They reign with Him above;
Their profit and their joy, to know
The mystery of His love.
6. The cross He bore is life and health,
Though shame and death to Him;
His peopleʼs hope, His peopleʼs wealth,
Their everlasting theme.

1. The Word of God has taken flesh,
Grace and truth made manifest;
And we have seen this holy One,
The glory of Godʼs only Son,
Of the Fatherʼs only Son.
2. Love in action on the Cross,
Bore our shame, became the curse;
Carried into death our pain,
And grace declares us free again,
Grace declares us free again.
3. Grace flows out as redeemed man
Joins the Fatherʼs glorious plan,
To bring His children, scattered wide,
Back to their loving Fatherʼs side,
To their loving Fatherʼs side.
4. As grace extends to more and more,
Praise will ring from every shore,
Until the earth renewed shall sing,
To see the glory of the King,
See the glory of our King!

128 Charles Wesley, 1707–88
1. Weary of wandering from my God,
And now made willing to return,
I hear, and bow me to the rod;
For Thee, not without hope, I mourn;
I have an Advocate above,
A Friend before the throne of Love.
2. O Jesus, full of truth and grace,
More full of grace than I of sin,
Yet once again I seek Thy face;
Open Thine arms, and take me in,
And freely my backslidings heal,
And love the faithless sinner still.
3. Thou knowʼst the way to bring me back,
My fallen spirit to restore;
O! for Thy truth and mercyʼs sake,
Forgive, and bid me sin no more;
The ruins of my soul repair,
And make my heart a house of prayer.
