249. COME SING THE PRAISE OF JESUS
1. Come sing the praise of Jesus,
Sing his love with hearts aflame,
Sing His wondrous birth of Mary,
When to save the world He came;
Tell the life He live for others,
And His mighty deeds proclaim,
For Jesus Christ is King.
Chorus:
Praise and glory be to Jesus,
Praise and glory be to Jesus,
Praise and glory be to Jesus,
For Jesus Christ is King!
2. When foes arose and slew Him,
He was victor in the fight;
Over death and hell He triumphed
In His resurrection might;
He has raised our fallen manhood
And enthroned it in the height,
For Jesus Christ is King.
3. There’s joy for all who serve Him,
More than human tongue can say;
There is pardon for the sinner;
And the night is turned to day;
There is healing for our sorrows,
There is music all the way,
For Jesus Christ is King.
4. We witness to His beauty,
And we spread His love abroad;
And we cleave the host of darkness,
With the Spirt’s piercing sword;
We will lead the souls in prison
To the freedom of the Lord,
For Jesus Christ is King.
5. To Jesus be the glory,
The dominion, and the praise;
He is Lord of all creation,
He is Guide of all our ways
And the world shall be His empire
In the fullness of the days
For Jesus Christ is King.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
