MusicNotes

Behold our holy mighty Lord
Just King of Righteousness
Behold the vengeance of His sword
His treading the winepress

Remember our Lord’s steadfast love
His goodness, compassion
His Holy Spirit from above
His wond’rous salvation

Redeemer Father God we pray
Show forth your zeal and might
Your presence may we know today
Turn back the evil night

We plead O Lord your grace impart
A new work now begin
Revive and soften every heart
And forgive every sin

– From a sermon on Isaiah 63-64
(To the tune of “O For A Thousand Tongues To Sing”)

MusicNotes

Our hope is found in nothing less
Than Christ coming one day
And then we’ll dwell in righteousness
In all we do and say

Instead of ruin – great beauty
Made splendid in His sight
He loves and rejoices in me
In us our Lord delights

Pass thru the gates, in this hope dwell
And to our Savior cling
Prepare the way, His gospel tell
And pray for his coming

– From a sermon on Isaiah 62
(To the tune of “O For A Thousand Tongues To Sing”)
