100. Now in a Song of Grateful Praise

L.M.
by S. Medley
1
Now in a song of grateful praise,
 
To our dear Lord the voice we’ll raise;
 
With all His saints we’ll join to tell,
 
"Our Jesus hath done all things well."
“And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.” (Mark 7:37)
2
All worlds His glorious power confess,
 
His wisdom all His works express;
 
But oh, His love — what tongue can tell?
 
"Our Jesus hath done all things well."
“For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.” (Romans 1:20)
“When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained.” (Psalm 8:3)
“O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!” (Romans 11:33)
“And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.” (Ephesians 3:19)
3
And since our souls have known His love,
 
What mercies has He made us prove,
 
Mercies which all our praise excel;
 
"Our Jesus hath done all things well."
“And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.” (1 John 4:16)
“For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.” (Psalm 108:4)
“The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.” (Psalm 119:64)
4
And when on that bright day we rise,
 
And join the anthems of the skies,
 
In heavenly songs this note shall swell,
 
"Our Jesus hath done all things well."
“Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” (1 Thessalonians 4:17)
“And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of saints. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation. And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands. Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing. And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.” (Revelation 5:8-13)
