Gathering Song He shall reign forevermore (Tomlin)
In the bleak mid-winter, all creation groans
For a world in darkness, frozen like a stone
Light is breaking, in a stable
For a throne
And He shall reign forevermore, forevermore
And He shall reign forevermore, forevermore
Unto us a child is born
The King of kings and Lord of lords
And He shall reign forevermore, forevermore
If I were a wise man, I would travel far
And if I were a shepherd, I would do my part
But poor as I am
I will give to Him my heart
Here within a manger lies
The One who made the starry skies
This baby born for sacrifice
Christ, the Messiah
Into our hopes, into our fears
The Saviour of the world appears
The promise of eternal years
Christ, the Messiah
Welcome and notices
Call to worship Philippians 2.9-11 (p.1179)
Come, thou long-expected Jesus, MP 102
Born to set thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us;
Let us find our rest in thee.
Israel's strength and consolation,
Hope of all the earth thou art,
Dear desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.
Born thy people to deliver,
Born a child, and yet a King,
Born to reign in us for ever,
Now thy gracious kingdom bring.
By thine own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By thine all-sufficient merit
Raise us to thy glorious throne.
Prayer of approach to God
Together Time
Jesus is the name we honour; MP 870
Jesus is the name we praise.
Majestic Name above all other names,
The highest heaven and earth proclaim
That Jesus is our God.
We will glorify,
We will lift Him high,
We will give Him honour and praise.
We will glorify,
We will lift Him high,
We will give Him honour and praise.
Jesus is the name we worship;
Jesus is the name we trust.
He is the King above all other kings,
Let all creation stand and sing
That Jesus is our God.
Jesus is the Father’s splendour;
Jesus is the Father’s joy.
He will return to reign in majesty,
And every eye at last shall see
That Jesus is our God.
Bible readings Matthew 24.26-31, 42-44, 25.31-33 (p.993)
Lo, He comes, with clouds descending, MP 424
Once, for favoured sinners slain;
Thousand thousand saints attending
Swell the triumph of His train:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
God appears on earth to reign.
Every eye shall now behold him
Robed in dreadful majesty;
Those who set at naught and sold Him,
Pierced and nailed Him to the tree,
Deeply wailing, deeply wailing, deeply wailing,
Shall the true Messiah see.
Now redemption, long expected,
See in solemn pomp appear;
All the saints by man world rejected
Now shall meet Him in the air.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
See the day of God appear!
Yea, amen! let all adore You,
High on Your eternal throne;
Saviour, take the power and glory,
Claim the kingdom of Your own:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Everlasting God, come down!
Sermon The Coming of the Son of Man
Christ is surely coming bringing His reward MP 75
Alpha and Omega, First and Last and Lord:
Root and stem of David, brilliant Morning Star:
Meet your Judge and Saviour, nations near and far;
Meet your Judge and Saviour, nations near and far!
See the holy city! There they enter in,
All by Christ made holy, washed from every sin:
Thirsty ones, desiring all He loves to give,
Come for living water, freely drink, and live;
Come for living water, freely drink, and live!
Grace be with God's people! Praise His holy name!
Father, Son, and Spirit, evermore the same.
Hear the certain promise from the eternal home:
'Surely I come quickly!' Come, Lord Jesus, come;
'Surely I come quickly!' Come, Lord Jesus, come!
Prayer of thanksgiving and intercession
Look, ye saints, the sight is glorious; MP 426
See the Man of sorrows now;
From the fight returned victorious,
Every knee to Him shall bow;
Crown Him! Crown Him! Crown Him! Crown Him!
Crowns become the Victor’s brow.
Crown the Saviour! Angels, crown Him!
Rich the trophies Jesus brings;
In the seat of power enthrone Him,
While the vault of heaven rings:
Crown Him! Crown Him! Crown Him! Crown Him!
Crown the Saviour King of kings.
Sinners in derision crowned Him,
Mocking thus the Saviour’s claim;
Saints and angels crowd around Him,
Own His title, praise His name:
Crown Him! Crown Him! Crown Him! Crown Him!
Spread abroad the Victor’s fame.
Hark! those bursts of acclamation!
Hark! those loud triumphant chords!
Jesus takes the highest station;
O what joy the sight affords!
Crown Him! Crown Him! Crown Him! Crown Him!
King of kings and Lord of lords!
