Sovereign Glory (An Advent Hymn)
Sovereign Glory – so shining, so bright
Poured down from God's heavenly throne on high
Pour out your praises to our sovereign King
Redeemed by His Glory – sovereign and sweet
Now let your voices raise, resound and sing
Glory in the highest to the sovereign King!Sovereign Son – so exalted, so high
Poured out from heav'n, humbled so we mightn't die
Pour out your praises to our sovereign King
Redeemed by His Son – sovereign and sweet
Now let your voices raise, resound and sing
Glory in the highest to the sovereign King!Sovereign Love – so wide, so deep
Poured out while we were powerless, asleep
Pour out your praises to our sovereign King
Redeemed by His Love – sovereign and sweet
Now let your voices raise, resound and sing
Glory in the highest to the sovereign King!Sovereign Mercy – so rich, so mighty
Poured out on poor wretches like you and me
Pour out your praises to our sovereign King
Redeemed by His Mercy – sovereign and sweet
Now let your voices raise, resound and sing
Glory in the highest to the sovereign King!Sovereign Grace – so abounding, so free
Poured out through Christ on the cross at Calvary
Pour out your praises to our sovereign King
Redeemed by His Grace – sovereign and sweet
Now let your voices raise, resound and sing
Glory in the highest to the sovereign King!Sovereign Ransom – so precious, so meek
Poured out His blood, a propitiation for the poor, the weak
Pour out your praises to our sovereign King
Redeemed by His Ransom – sovereign and sweet
Now let your voices raise, resound and sing
Glory in the highest to the sovereign King!Sovereign Peace – so quiet, so mild

How did I not comment on this one? I am really slipping....
This is so lovely and so powerful! Thank you for sharing it!
@quest4god@revelife - You're welcome. I posted it pretty late last night. I wasn't really expecting to write anything at all. I was reflecting on God's goodness to me and how happy and overwhelmed I was w/ all the Lord has done and then a few phrases came to mind and I began to write. Glory in the highest to the sovereign King!
Amen!
