O Worship the King
O worship the King, all glorious above,
O gratefully sing His wonderful love;
Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,
pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.
O tell of His might, O sing of His grace,
whose robe is the light, whose canopy space.
His chariot of wrath the deep thunder-clouds form,
and dark is His path on the wings of the storm.
Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
in You do we trust, nor find You to fail;
Your mercies how tender, how firm to the end,
our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.

Justice and Mercy
"On the cross neither justice nor mercy loses out--both are fulfilled at once. Jesus' death was necessary if God was going to take justice seriously and still love us. The same concern for both love and justice should mark all our relationships. We should never acquiesce in injustice. Jesus identified with the oppressed. Yet we should not try to overcome evil with evil. Jesus forgave his enemies and died for them."

Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus
Come, thou long-expected Jesus,
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.
Words: Charles Wesley (1707-1788), 1744
