HYMN Mission Praise 109 ‘Crown him with many crowns’

John 20:19-31
Jesus appears to his disciples
19 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you!’ 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.
21 Again Jesus said, ‘Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.’ 22 And with that he breathed on them and said, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.’
Jesus appears to Thomas
24 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, ‘We have seen the Lord!’
But he said to them, ‘Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.’
26 A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you!’ 27 Then he said to Thomas, ‘Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.’
28 Thomas said to him, ‘My Lord and my God!’
29 Then Jesus told him, ‘Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.’
The purpose of John’s gospel
30 Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. 31 But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

HYMN Mission Praise 14 ‘All heaven declares’

All Heaven Declares
The Glory Of The Risen Lord.
Who Can Compare
With The Beauty Of The Lord?

Forever He Will Be
The Lamb Upon The Throne.
I Gladly Bow The Knee
And Worship Him Alone.

I Will Proclaim
The Glory Of The Risen Lord.
Who Once Was Slain
To Reconcile Man To God.

Forever You Will Be
The Lamb Upon The Throne.
I Gladly Bow The Knee
And Worship You Alone.

HYMN Mission Praise 109 ‘Crown him with many crowns’

Crown him with many crowns,
the Lamb upon his throne.
Hark! How the heavenly anthem drowns
all music but its own.
Awake, my soul, and sing of him
who died for thee,
and hail him as thy matchless King
through all eternity.

Crown him the Son of God,
before the worlds began,
Let all who tread where he hath trod,
crown him the Son of Man;
who every grief hath known
by which we are oppressed,
and takes and bears them for His own,
that all in him may rest.

The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen.

Crown him the Lord of life,
who triumphed over the grave,
who rose victorious of the strife
for those he came to save.
His glories now we sing,
who died, and rose on high,
who died eternal life to bring,
and lives that death may die.

Crown him the Lord of years,
the ruler of all time,
Creator of the rolling spheres,
in majesty sublime.
all hail, Redeemer, hail!
For you have died for me;
thy praise shall never never fail
throughout eternity.

Matthew Bridges and Godfrey Thring
