'LORD of all being..'

[quietbloke]

'LORD of all being throned afar,Thy glory flames from sun and star. Centre and soul of every sphere,yet to each loving heart how near'
(O W Holmes). What a wonderful hymn this is! A hymn of adoration and praise to our Living God! It begins with,'LORD',Almighty God,Sovereign One. The One to whom we owe everything. 'My LORD and my God!' Thomas proclaimed of Jesus Christ,His Master. We are His servants who delight to serve Him and do His Will!

 

[Carl Emerson]

Yes - what a welcome relief from the mental contortions of some threads.

Keep up the supply of fresh air !!!

'God is still on the Throne and He will remember His own. Though trials may press us and burdens distress us,He never will leave us alone. God is still on the Throne and He will remember His own,His promise is true,He will not forget you! God is still on the Throne' (Old Pentecostal chorus)'. 'LORD OF ALL BEING THRONED AFAR'. 'LORD enthroned in heavenly splendour first begotten from the dead. Thou alone our strong Defender lifteth up Thy people's head. Strong Deliverer! Strong Deliverer,Jesus True and Living Bread' (as another hymn says) 'Our God reigns!' Jesus is LORD!'

'THY GLORY FLAMES FROM SUN AND STAR.' 'For as surely as I live all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord' His glory is what we should live for! Pursue the glory of the LORD!

 

[quietbloke]

'CENTRE AND SOUL OF EVERY SPHERE'. Christ Jesus is at the centre of all things. He is the Centre! His glory comes down to even you and me. The Majestic King of Glory takes up residence in our heart and life,through His Holy Spirit,when we receive
Him as Saviour and LORD!

 

[quietbloke]

"YET TO EACH .LOVING HEART HOW NEAR' Jesus is near to us as we love Him and others. By His Holy Spirit He is nearer than hands and feet! May we enthrone Him in our praises today!

'Sun of our life,Thy quickening ray,sheds on our path the glow of day. Star of our hope,Thy softened light,cheers the long watches of the night' (O W Holmes)

Jehovah of the Prophets and the Psalms is identified with the Christ of the Apostles, and what is affirmed of the former in the OT is ascribed to the latter in the NT. - Expositor's Greek

So true,dear 'rock'

 

[quietbloke]

'Sun of our life,Thy quickening ray,sheds on our path the glow of day. Star of our hope,Thy softened light,cheers the long watches of the night' (O W Holmes)

Every day God's radiant beams upon us shine. He is our Sun. He warms our cold hearts and brings hope each day. He is our Star. His light encourages us day and night.

 

[quietbloke]

'Our midnight is Thy smile withdrawn,our noontide is Thy gracious dawn. Our rainbow arch Thy mercies sign,all save the clouds of sin are Thine' (O W Holmes)

 

[quietbloke]

God is always with us,during the night and day and in every season of the year!

 

[quietbloke]

'Grant us Thy truth to set us free and kindling hearts that burn for Thee. 'Til all Thy living altars claim,one holy light,one heavenly flame' (O W Holmes)

 

[quietbloke]

I will walk in Thy truth!

Psalm 84 (NRSV)

How lovely is your dwelling place,
O Lord of hosts!
My soul longs, indeed it faints
for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh sing for joy
to the living God.
Even the sparrow finds a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may lay her young,
at your altars, O Lord of hosts,
my King and my God.
Happy are those who live in your house,
ever singing your praise.
Happy are those whose strength is in you,
in whose heart are the highways to Zion.
As they go through the valley of Baca
they make it a place of springs;
the early rain also covers it with pools.
They go from strength to strength;
the God of gods will be seen in Zion.
O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
give ear, O God of Jacob!
Behold our shield, O God;
look on the face of your anointed.
For a day in your courts is better
than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than live in the tents of wickedness.
For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
He bestows favour and honour.
No good thing does the Lord withhold
from those who walk uprightly.
O Lord of hosts,
happy is everyone who trusts in you.

O sweetest love of God too little known
Whoever finds you is at rest
Let everything change, o my God
that we may rest in you.
O my God, how sweet is your presence to me
You who are the one true Good.
I will rejoice in nothing
Until I am in your arms, O Lord
I beseech you
Leave me not for a moment
Because I know not the value of my soul.
Amen.
(St John of the Cross)

Lord of all life,below,above,whose light is truth,whose warmth is love. Before Thy ever blazing throne we ask no lustre of our own' (O W Holmes)
