SECTION 4 - LIFT UP YOUR HEARTS and LAMB+ of GOD  

[Ancient Hymns of the Early Christians ]

This section includes worship from the Early Christians.  These words will be familiar to many because these early hymns are based in Scripture.

Lift up your hearts !

We lift them up unto The LORD.

Let us give thanks unto our LORD GOD.

It is meet and right so to do.

It is very meet, right, and our bounden duty,

that we should at all times and in all places

 give thanks unto THEE,

O LORD, HOLY FATHER, ALMIGHTY, EVER-LASTING GOD.

WHO in this Season of The HOLY TRINITY*,

GOD revealed HIMSELF to be The ELOHIM: 

The FATHER, SON+ and HOLY SPIRIT.

The Un-Divided Divine ECHAD*, The plural , United ONE,  

Being:

3-of-ONE Substance, ONE Character, ONE Will,

and ONE Power

~ as reveal-ed in THEIR Manifestations to men . . .

Therefore, with angels and archangels,

and with all the company of Heaven,

we laud and magnify Thy Glorious Name,

Evermore praising THEE and saying: 

HOLY, HOLY, HOLY 

LORD GOD of HOSTS,

Heavens and earth are full of Thy Glory.

Glory be to THEE , 

O LORD MOST HIGH.

Amen.

+  +  +

Let us pray: 

All glory be to THEE, Almighty GOD, our Heavenly FATHER, for that THOU,  of Thy tender mercy, didst give Thine Only-begotten SON+ , JESUS CHRIST, to suffer death upon the Cross for our redemption. 

Who+ made there ( by His+ one offering of HIMSELF+ ), a full, perfect, and sufficient sacrifice for the sins of the whole world;

and did institute and in His+ Holy Gospel, command us to continue a perpetual memory of that His+ Precious death and sacrifice . . . until His+ Coming Again.

+  +  +

Let the people praise THEE, O GOD, Let all the people praise THEE. 

Though HE+ were a Son,

yet learned HE+ obedience

by the things which HE+ suffered. 

Hebrews 5:8

LAMB+  of  GOD

LORD JESUS CHRIST,  LAMB+ of GOD,

which taketh away the sin of the world,

Apostle and High Priest of our profession:

Have mercy upon us.

LORD JESUS CHRIST,  LAMB+ of GOD,

Bearer of our sins,

Moganu Adonai**, The LORD our Shield,

Shepherd and Bishop of our Souls,

Have mercy upon us.

LORD JESUS CHRIST,  LAMB+ of GOD,

Savior+ of the world,

That Great SHEPHERD+ of the Sheep through The BLOOD+

of the Ever-lasting Covenant,

Author and Finisher of our faith:

Grant us Thy+ Peace.

+  +  +

 

Holy, holy, holy LORD GOD ALMIGHTY

Who+ is, Who+ was, and Who+ is to come,

The ALMIGHTY.

Revelation 1:8

*ECHAD: This is the Hebrew word which means “a collective ONE; a plural but unified ONE.” In English grammar, we would term it a collective noun. ECHAD [ eh-kawd ] is used in reference to The ELOHIM, which is a collective noun ( FATHER, SON+, and HOLY SPIRIT ) . 

Although “trinity” is not found directly in Scriptures, The ECHAD is, and ECHAD is used in reference throughout with The ELOHIM. The concept of the TRINITY, therefore, is established in the Old Covenant by The ELOHIM: GOD the FATHER, GOD the SON+, and GOD the HOLY SPIRIT, the 3-in-ONE.

**Moganu Adonai : These are Hebrew words which mean: mogan-NU =  Our Shield, and  ADONAI ( The LORD, which is in reference to The SON+ ). Hence, The LORD our Shield+ .
