Proclamation

Colossians 3 ¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. ¹⁷ And whatever you all do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

'The Head that once was crowned with thorns'

Hymn by Thomas Kelly. (Redemption Hymnal), sung at Whitewell Metropolitan Tabernacle, Belfast, Northern Ireland

Hebrews 10

¹² But this man [Jesus Christ], after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; ¹³ from henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

[Psalm 110 v 1]

¹⁴ For by one offering he has perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

[1 John 3 vv 1 - 6]

¹⁵ Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before

[Jeremiah 31 vv 33 & 34]

¹⁶ This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord,

'I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

¹⁷ and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.'

[Hebrews 8 vv 6 - 13]

¹⁸ Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

¹⁹ Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ by a new and living way, which he has consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

²¹ And having an high priest over the house of God; ²² let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

²³ Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

²⁴ And let us consider one another to provoke to love and to good works:

²⁵ Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you all see the day approaching.

'Here is love vast as the ocean'

Hymn by William Rees and William Williams. Tune by Robert Lowry.

Bethany Baptist says this hymn was often sung during the services of the Welsh Revival in 1904 - 1906.

Here is love, vast as the ocean, loving-kindness as the flood,

When the Prince of Life, our Ransom, shed for us His precious blood.

Who His love will not remember? Who can cease to sing His praise?

He can never be forgotten, throughout heav’n’s eternal days.

On the mount of crucifixion, fountains opened deep and wide;

Through the floodgates of God’s mercy flowed a vast and gracious tide.

Grace and love, like mighty rivers, poured incessant from above,

And heav’n’s peace and perfect justice kissed a guilty world in love.

Let me, all Thy love accepting, love Thee, ever all my days;

Let me seek Thy kingdom only, and my life be to Thy praise;

Thou alone shalt be my glory, nothing in the world I see;

Thou hast cleansed and sanctified me, Thou Thyself hast set me free.

In Thy truth Thou dost direct me by Thy Spirit through Thy Word;

And Thy grace my need is meeting, as I trust in Thee, my Lord.

Of Thy fullness Thou art pouring Thy great love and pow’r on me,

Without measure, full and boundless, drawing out my heart to Thee.

Or, As I yield myself to Thee.

' ... Comfort divine...'

A capella Psalm

Words for psalm 145 vv 9 - 14 are on YouTube. The words below, full of holy scripture references, were translated by John Wesley, and also can be sung (a little faster and more triumphantly) to this tune.

1 Jesus, thy blood and righteousness my beauty are, my glorious dress;

'Midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed, with joy shall I lift up my head.

2 Bold shall I stand in thy great day; for who aught to my charge shall lay?

Fully absolved through these I am from sin and fear, from guilt and shame.

3 When from the dust of death I rise to claim my mansion in the skies, 

E'en then this shall be all my plea, Jesus has lived, has died, for me.

4 Jesus, be endless praise to thee, whose boundless mercy has for me, 

For me a full atonement made, an everlasting ransom paid.

5 O let the dead now hear thy voice; now bid thy banished ones rejoice;

Their beauty this, their glorious dress, Jesus, thy blood and righteousness.
