“’The Lord God omnipotent reigneth.’ Lord, the very sound of that phrase is great and inspiring. May I be full of the calm peace which comes from knowing Thou dost reign” (ref#27, p1).

Great Is the LORD and Greatly to Be Praised

I reach out for Your presence, O LORD,

Part the heavens and come down.
I lift my heart to meet You in the air—
I lift my heart…

How lovely is Your dwelling place,
O LORD of hosts.
My soul longs for Your courts,
I sing for joy to the living GOD… (Ps 84:1-2).

My strength is in You, LORD,
my heart longing for the highways to Zion (Ps 84:5).

I shall go from strength to strength;
Until I appear before You (Ps 84:7).

I come to Mount Zion and
To the city of the living GOD,
The heavenly Jerusalem,
To innumerable angels in festal gathering (Heb 12:22).

And to JESUS,
The mediator of a new covenant,
And to the sprinkled blood
That speaks a better word than the blood of Abel (Heb 12:24).
