Hymnals are amazing treasures of generative, imaginative renditions of faithfulness. This stately, regal hymn voices a dimension of gospel faith that is almost lost in the sweet romanticism of much recent church music. In a frightened, lonely culture of alienation like ours, the accent of much current church music concerns intimate one-on-one contact with God. The lyrics and the music together offer intimacy with God. In the midst of such music, this hymn stands as a mighty insistence that the reality of God cannot be reduced to comfortable, reassuring companionship.
The hymn insists that the God the church worships is an awesome sovereign to whom willing yielding is appropriate. In current church usage, the hymn is regularly linked to the celebration of Trinity Sunday, as the hymn quite intentionally asserts that distinct formulation of God in the full majesty of mystery.
That is a legitimate ecclesial extrapolation, even though in the biblical texts that evoked the hymn Rev. You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.
From its outset the church, after the manner of Israel, has known that such an unutterable claim for God can only be expressed in poetic, doxological cadence. The purpose of doxology is to defy such explanatory reasoning, which is why at its best the church sings rather than reasons or disputes.
That text narrates a tumultuous experience of the prophet Isaiah in Jerusalem: the prophet has a vision of the awesome sovereign God and in response accepts the burdensome assignment of a prophetic vocation. They cover their faces with two wings because they dare not see the Holy One. The temple cannot contain the divine glory that spills over throughout all creation.
Isaiah is startled beyond explanation that in his disqualification he nonetheless can receive this vision of the holy God. More than a vision, this holy God, via the ministry of the winged creatures, removes his guilt and blots out his sin. It is astonishing that the Holy One will invest in pardon!
The people of God are to be subjected to profound judgment; that is the burden of the prophetic vocation of Isaiah. While we regularly choose to disregard this note as does Revelation , it is important to notice that the New Testament repeatedly cites this text as a judgment on Israel, which we can readily extend to the church Matt.
Already in its first verse, the hymn moves beyond Isaiah and Revelation to situate our singing in the doctrinal formulation of Nicaea:. Among her dead husband's papers she found the words of one of the most powerful and beautiful hymns ever written.
But years would pass before the lines took their place in worship services around the world. In , a publisher rediscovered the words. He asked John Bacchus Dykes to furnish him with a tune. It made sense for him to turn to John who had a natural aptitude for music he graduated with a music master that same year. John had been a church organist since he was ten-years-old and was co-founder and president of the Cambridge University Musical Society.
