On Earth The Song Begins

Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and chanting with your heart to the Lord; Ephesians 5:19

That the proving of your faith, much more precious than of gold which perishes, though it be proved by fire, be found to praise and glory and honour in [the] revelation of Jesus Christ: whom, having not seen, ye love; on whom [though] not now looking, but believing, ye exult with joy unspeakable and filled with [the] glory, 1 Peter 1:7,8

  1. Ephesians 5:19, 1 Peter 1:4On earth the song begins,

    Revelation 5:9, 1 Peter 1:4In heav'n more sweet and loud:

    Revelation 1:5, 1 Peter 3:18To Him who cleansed our sins

    Revelation 5:9, 1 Peter 1:19By His atoning blood,

    Ephesians 5:19, 1 Peter 1:8To Him, we sing in joyful strain,

    Hebrews 2:9, 1 Peter 1:7Be honour, power and praise, Amen.

  2. 1 Peter 2:24, 1 Peter 4:1Alone He bore the cross,

    Isaiah 53:4,5, 1 Peter 1:1Alone its grief sustained;

    Hebrews 12:2, 1 Peter 1:11His was the shame and loss,

    Colossians 2:14,15, Revelation 3:21And He the vict'ry gained;

    Acts 4:11,12, Revelation 3:21The mighty work was all His own,

    Revelation 3:21Though we shall share His glorious throne.
