Majesty, worship his Majesty;unto Jesus be glory, honour and
praise.Majesty, kingdom, authority,
flows from his throne unto his own,
his anthem raise.
So exalt, lift up on high the name of Jesus,
magnify, come glorify, Christ Jesus the King.
Majesty, worship his Majesty,Jesus who died, now glorified,
King of all kings.
Jack Hayford
Give glory to God, all you heavenly creatures;
all glory and power belong to the Lord!
So drop to your knees and respect what is holy,
Be quiet and listen: the voice of the Lord!
The voice of the Lord rolls out over the waters;
it thunders and echoes his glory abroad.
The voice of the Lord is majestic and mighty;
Its power resounds, and his creatures are awed.
The voice of the Lord now is breaking the cedars;
he shatters the trees while Mount Lebanon quakes.
God speaks: all the hills jump like antelopes startled –
the voice of the Lord makes us creatures to shake.
The voice of the Lord whips out lightning-like flashes.The voice of the Lord
makes the desert to reel.The voice of the Lord
sets the oak tree awhirling.God strips forests bare by the force of his gale.
The creatures now worship the God of all power;
All creatures respond, “May God’s glory increase.”
The Lord gives his people their strength and all blessing;
the Lord shall encircle his people with peace.

O worship the King,all glorious above;O gratefully sing
his power and his love;our shield and defender,
the ancient of days,pavilioned in splendour,and girded with praise.
O tell of his might,O sing of his grace,
whose robe is the light,whose canopy, space;his chariots of wrath
the deep thunder-clouds form,and dark is his path
on the wings of the storm.
The earth, with its storeof wonders untold,
Almighty, thy powerhath founded of old:hath stablished it fast
by a changeless decree,and round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea.
Thy bountiful carewhat tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air,it shines in the light,
it streams from the hills,it descends to the plain,
and sweetly distilsin the dew and the rain.
Frail children of dust,and feeble as frail,
in Thee do we trust,nor find Thee to fail:
Thy mercies, how tender,how firm to the end,our maker, defender,
Redeemer, and friend!
Robert Grant
O Lord of all might, how boundless thy love!
While angels delight to hymn thee above,the humble creation,
though feeble their lays,with true adoration
shall sing to thy praise.

Isaiah 6:1-8In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. And they were calling to one another:
“Holy, holy holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.”At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke...
Isaiah 6:1-8“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”
Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
I, the Lord of sea and sky,I have heard my people cry.
All who dwell in dark and sinmy hand will save.
I, who made the stars of night,I will make their darkness bright.Who will bear my light to them?
Whom shall I send?
Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me.I will hold your people in my heart.
I, the Lord of snow and rain,I have borne my people’s pain.I have wept for love of them.
They turn away.I will break their hearts of stone,give them hearts for love alone.I will speak my word to them.
Whom shall I send?
Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me.I will hold your people in my heart.
I, the Lord of wind and flame,I will tend the poor and lame.
I will set a feast for them.My hand will save.
Finest bread I will providetill their hearts be satisfied.I will give my life to them.
Whom shall I send?
Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me.I will hold your people in my heart.
Daniel L Schutte
Psalm 29Ascribe to the Lord, you heavenly beings, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendour of his holiness. The voice of the Lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the Lord thunders over the mighty waters. The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is majestic. The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars; the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon...
Psalm 29... He makes Lebanon leap like a calf, Sirion like a young wild ox.The voice of the Lord strikes with flashes of lightning. The voice of the Lord shakes the desert;the Lord shakes the Desert of Kadesh. The voice of the Lord twists the oaks and strips the forests bare. And in his temple all cry, “Glory!”The Lord sits enthroned over the flood; the Lord is enthroned as King forever. The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace.

The Sacrament of Holy Communion
Ye gates, lift up your heads on high;ye doors that last for aye,
be lifted up, that so the Kingof glory enter may.
But who of glory is the King?The mighty Lord is this;
even that same Lord that great in might
and strong in battle is,even that same Lord
that great in mightand strong in battle is.
Ye gates, lift up your heads; ye doors,
doors that do last for aye,be lifted up, that so the King
of glory enter may.
But who is he that is the King,the king of glory? who is this?
The Lord of hosts, and none but he,the King of glory is,
the Lord of hosts, and none but he,the King of glory is.
Alleluia! Alleluia!Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Amen, Amen, Amen.

The Sacrament of Holy Communion
Ye servants of God,your master proclaim,
and publish abroadhis wonderful name;
the name all-victoriousof Jesus extol;
his kingdom is glorious,and rules over all.
God ruleth on high,almighty to save;
and still he is nigh,his presence we have;the great congregationhis triumph shall sing,
ascribing salvationto Jesus our King.
‘Salvation to Godwho sits on the throne’,
let all cry aloud,and honour the Son:the praises of Jesusthe angels proclaim,
fall down on their faces,and worship the Lamb.
Then let us adore,and give him his right –
all glory and power,all wisdom and might:
all honour and blessing,with angels above;
and thanks never-ceasing,and infinite love.
