The Processional “All Hail the Power of Jesus Name” (Diadem) AMEC Hymnal No. 5
1. All hail the power of Jesus’ name! Let angels prostrate fall, Let angels prostrate fall; Bring forth the royal diadem, And crown Him, crown Him, crown Him, crown Him, And crown Him Lord of all.
2. Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race, Ye ransomed from the fall, Ye ransomed from the fall, Hail Him who saves you by His grace, And crown Him, crown Him, crown Him, crown Him, And crown Him Lord of all.
3. Sinners whose love can ne’er forget The wormwood and the gall, The wormwood and the gall, Go spread your trophies at His feet, And crown Him, crown Him, crown Him, crown Him, And crown Him Lord of all.
4. Let every kindred, every tribe, On this terrestrial ball, On this terrestrial ball, To Him all majesty ascribe, And crown Him, crown Him, crown Him, crown Him, And crown Him Lord of all.
5. O that with yonder sacred throng We at His feet may fall, We at His feet may fall! We’ll join the everlasting song, And crown Him, crown Him, crown Him, crown Him, And crown Him Lord of all.
The Doxology “Praise God from Whom all Blessing Flow” The Hymn of Praise “Hold to Gods Unchanging Hand”
AMEC Hymnal No. 513
1. Time is filled with swift transition, Naught of earth unmoved can stand, Build your hopes on things eternal, Hold to God’s unchanging hand.
Refrain: Hold to God’s unchanging hand, Hold to God’s unchanging hand; Build your hopes on things eternal, Hold to God’s unchanging hand.
2. Trust in Him who will not leave you, Whatsoever years may bring, If by earthly friends forsaken Still more closely to Him cling.
3. Covet not this world’s vain riches, That so rapidly decay; Seek to gain the heavenly treasures: They will never pass away.
4. When your journey is completed, If to God you have been true, Fair and bright the home in glory Your enraptured soul will view.
