How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! PEOPLE: Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor? Who has ever given to God, that God should repay him? LEADER: For from him and through him and to him are all things. ALL: (with a loud voice) To him be the glory forever! Amen. SONGS OF PRAISE ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS NAME All hail the power of Jesus name! Let angels prostrate fall; Bring forth the royal diadem, And crown Him Lord of all; Bring forth the royal diadem, And crown Him Lord of all. Let every kindred, every tribe, On this terrestrial ball, To Him all majesty ascribe, And crown Him Lord of all; To Him all majesty ascribe, And crown Him Lord of all. O that with yonder sacred throng, We at His feet may fall! We ll join the everlasting song, And crown Him Lord of all; We ll join the everlasting song, And crown Him Lord of all. 2

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word; I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord; Thou my great Father, I Thy true son; Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one. Riches I heed not, nor man s empty praise, Thou mine Inheritance, now and always: Thou and Thou only, first in my heart, High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
