Sunday Audio Service – The Transfiguration – Morning Worship – 15/02/26
IMMORTAL, INVISIBLE, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessèd, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.
Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might.
Thy justice like mountains high soaring above
Thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.
To all life Thou givest, to both great and small.
In all life Thou livest, the true life of all.
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish; but naught changeth Thee.
Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,
Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight.
All laud we would render: O help us to see
’Tis only the splendour of light hideth Thee.
Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessèd, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.
Walter Chalmers Smith.

CHRIST, WHOSE GLORY FILLS THE SKIES,
Christ, the true, the only light,
Sun of righteousness, arise,
Triumph o’er the shades of night:
Day-spring from on high, be near.
Day-star in my heart appear.
Dark and cheerless is the morn
Unaccompanied by Thee.
Joyless is the day’s return,
Till Thy mercy’s beams I see.
Till they inward light impart,
Glad my eyes, and warm my heart.
Visit then this soul of mine.
Pierce the gloom of sin and grief.
Fill me, radiancy divine.
Scatter all my unbelief.
More and more Thyself display,
Shining to the perfect day.
Charles Wesley

Sing Twice
MAJESTY, worship His majesty,
Unto Jesus be glory, honour and praise.
Majesty, kingdom authority,
Flow from His throne unto His own,
His anthem raise.
So exalt, lift up on high the name of Jesus,
Magnify, come glorify Christ Jesus the King.
Majesty, worship His majesty,
Jesus who died, now glorified,
King of all kings.
Jack W. Hayford.

REJOICE, THE LORD IS KING!
Your Lord and King adore;
Mortals, give thanks, and sing,
And triumph ever more:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice! Again I say: rejoice!
Jesus the Saviour reigns,
The God of truth and love;
When He had purged our stains,
He took His seat above:
His kingdom cannot fail,
He rules o’er earth and heaven;
The keys of death and hell
Are to our Jesus given:
He sits at God’s right hand
Till all His foes submit,
And bow to His command,
And fall beneath His feet:
Rejoice in glorious hope;
Jesus the Judge shall come,
And take His servants up
To their eternal home:
We soon shall hear the archangel’s voice.
The trump of God shall sound: rejoice!
Charles Wesley.
