Today... 'Ensign for Nations
Swiftly the dispersed of Judah meet together'
From all the four corners of the earth they gather.
You said 'If I be lifted up for men to see'
'Then will the people from all nations come to me.'
So to the top of Golgotha's steep slope You went
and hung on the cross there until Your life was spent.
Now the people from every tribe and nation
see lifted high the Author of their salvation.

Today... 'Firstborn Over All Creation
Displaying supremacy over all His foes
when bursting up from the grave the Firstborn arose.
The power of death vanquished and hell w assubdued
and His kingdom the new creation shall include.
Beyond all thrones and powers His reign transcending
and authorities before His lordship bending.
All things have been created for His good pleasure
and the extent of His kingdom we cannot measure.

Today... 'The Glory Of Their Strength
'T'will not be by might nor by power' says the Lord
for this battle will not to be waged with a sword
The victory's been accomplished by My Dear Son
and it's by My Holy Spirit that it is won.
As the Glory of their Strength I will be their song
and they shall rejoice in My name all the day long
There in the light of My countenance they will walk
and of the Holy One of Israel men shall talk

Today... 'The Firstborn Of The Dead
Hell could not hold onto its prey
He tore the bars of death away
and up from the grave He arose
triumphing o'er all His foes.
The First begotten of the dead
has now become our Living Head
the Ruler over all the kings
and of His praise all heaven sings.
'Worthy the lamb that died they cry'
'Worthy the lamb' is our reply
For He has washed us from our sin
opened heaven and let us in.

Today... 'Gift of God
God's remarkable gift was given
wrapped in flesh and came down from heaven.
For God so loved the world that He gave
His Belovèd Son mankind to save.
'Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift'
I cry as to the heavens my hands I lift.
This Gift of God we all love and cherish.
for those trusting in Him will never perish.
To us living water He shall give
so that we can drink from Him and live.

Today... 'The Confidence Of All The Ends Of The Earth
My confidence is in the God of my salvation
for I will not trust any other man or nation.
He is the confidence of all the ends of the earth
The Only One Who has come to us by virgin birth.
He Who by His mighty strength established the mountains
The Eternal God the Omnipotent One Who reigns.
He stills the tumult of the people, the waves and sea
with awesome deeds of righteousness He answers me.

Today... 'The Daysman
Between God and us there is standing a sinless man
For Mediating between us is our great Daysman
This Arbiter and Intercessor pleads for our soul
Laying His outstretched hands upon us making us whole
The rod of God's judgement has now been taken away
No more should we be terrified on the Judgement Day
Because the Lord our Daysman has paid the price
And we can go free because of His great sacrifice

Today... 'Heir of all things
To Him everything shall be given
Things on earth and things in heaven.
The Son is the rightful heir of all things
He is the Lord of lords and King of kings.
For God has spoken to us in these last days
and throughout the universe displays
in majestic splendour His power and might
so that all men may behold the wondrous sight
and know that the Christ of whom angels sing
is the One and Only Heir of Everything.

Today... 'The Giver of Every Good and Perfect Gift
God's Unspeakable Gift descended down from heaven
when from the Father of Lights to earth it was given.
The Giver of Every Good and Perfect Gift shows
no variation and no shadow of turning knows.
For every good and perfect gift comes from above
and is bestowed upon men from the Father of Love.
With His arms outstretched reaching out to all who believe
He brings the gift of forgiveness for us to receive.
