Revelation 1:8-11

• [Rev 1:8] Alpha, Omega

  Alpha, Omega, beginning and end, Who is, who was, and who is yet to come— May grace and peace now upon us descend From Father, Spirit, and Christ the Son. Lord Jesus Christ, First and Last, faithful e’er, Once You were dead; now You live evermore. The keys to death and to hell You now bear. You rule the kings of earth by Your power. To Him Who loves us and shed His own blood— All of our sins in His body He bore, Made us a kingdom and priests serving God— To Him be glory, pow’r evermore! Look, He is coming! With clouds He’s adorned. All eyes will see Him when He comes again. Because of Him, all earth’s peoples will mourn. So shall it be! Amen and amen.

• [Rev 1:8] Bring, O Morn, Thy Music

  Bring, O morn, thy music! Night, thy starlit silence! Oceans, laugh the rapture to the storm winds coursing free! Suns and planets chorus, Thou art our Creator, Who wert, and art, and evermore shalt be! Life and death, Thy creatures, praise Thee, mighty Giver! Praise and prayer are rising in Thy beast and bird and tree: Lo! they praise and vanish, vanish at Thy bidding, Who wert, and art, and evermore shalt be! Light us! lead us! love us! cry Thy groping nations, Pleading in the thousand tongues, but naming only Thee, Weaving blindly out Thy holy, happy purpose, Who wert, and art, and evermore shalt be! Life nor death can part us, O Thou Love eternal, Shepherd of the wandering star and souls that wayward flee! Homeward draws the spirit to Thy Spirit yearning, Who wert, and art, and evermore shalt be!

• [Rev 1:9] An Exile For The Faith

  An exile for the faith, Of His incarnate Lord, Beyond the stars, beyond all space, His soul in vision soared. There saw in glory Him Who liveth, and was dead, There Judah’s Lion, and the Lamb That for our ransom bled. There of the Kingdom learned The mysteries sublime; How, sown in martyrs’ blood, the faith Should spread from clime to clime. Lord, give us grace, like him, In Thee to live and die; To spurn the fleeting things of earth, And seek for joys on high. Jesu, our risen Lord, We praise Thee and adore, Who art with God the Father One And Spirit evermore.

• [Rev 1:11] Always And Ever

  Always and ever, God reigns eternal, Ceaseless, unchanging, Ancient of Days. From choirs below and angels supernal Alpha-Omega hears endless praise. In the beginning, ere the first star birth, There was the Father, Spirit and Son. Maker, Creator, Heaven and earth Sprang from His will—the plan was begun. Down through the ages, secrets unlocking, To save a people fettered with sin, He sent the Word. He’s tenderly knocking: Open your heart and let Him come in. Always and ever, you can be with Him In paradise, there no more to grieve. Praising forever, Savior and Sovereign Through endless ages—only believe!
