Anthem of the Redeemed

Anthem of the Redeemed
Warwick Allen
Wednesday, 12 March 2025

[Verse 1]
From every nation, tribe, and tongue,
A multitude in white has come,
Before the throne, their voices ring,
To God and Lamb, their praise they bring.
Sealed by grace, the chosen stand,
Marked by heaven's holy hand,
Through tribulation's darkened tide,
They rise to glory at His side.


[Chorus]
Glory to our God on high,
To Him who reigns
over earth and sky,
And to the Lamb who once was slain,
Forevermore we sing His name!
Amen, amen, the anthem swells,
Blessing and power where glory dwells,

Deepest praise, thanks and honour,
Unto our God, Yeshua

[Verse 2]
The angels bow, the elders fall,
A mighty chorus fills the hall,
The One who sits upon the throne,
Has called His own to
their home.
No hunger now, no thirst to bear,
Their God will dry their every tear,
By living springs of joy they stand,
In the majesty of the Lamb.

[Chorus]
Glory to our God on high,
To Him who reigns
over earth and sky,
And to the Lamb who once was slain,
Forevermore we sing His name!
Amen, amen, the anthem swells,
Blessing and power where glory dwells,

Deepest praise, thanks and honour,
Unto our God, Yeshua

[Verse 3]
Twelve times twelve, the thousands called,
A righteous host with Him will rule,
Clothed in robes of purest light,
Washed in blood, made clean and bright.
Day and night, their song ascends,
A praise that never, never ends,
For He who
created with His breath,
Has conquered sin and vanquished death.


[Chorus]
Glory to our God on high,
To Him who reigns over earth and sky,
And to the Lamb who once was slain,
Forevermore we sing His name!
Amen, amen, the anthem swells,
Blessing and power where glory dwells,

Deepest praise, thanks and honour,
Unto our God, Yeshua

[Verse 4]
The bright Morning Star is coming,
His just reward, He is bringing.
Blessed are those who've washed their robe,
Through the city gate they may go,
And they have been given the right
To eat fruit of the tree of life.
And the Spirit and bride invite
To drink of the water of life.

[Chorus]
Glory to our God on high,
To Him who reigns over earth and sky,
And to the Lamb who once was slain,
Forevermore we sing His name!
Amen, amen, the anthem swells,
Blessing and power where glory dwells,

Deepest praise, thanks and honour,
Unto our God, Yeshua

[Outro]
Forevermore, the throne we see,
The Lamb, our Shepherd, sets us free,
With every voice, we join
in praise,
Glory and honour to the Endless of Days!

A lie torturous
Sold
By men contemptuous
Told
To lives precious
Cold
Hearts treat worthless
Gold
Their sole worship
Hell
Their course plotted
How
To touch minds knotted
Tell
Men, men corrupted
Yell
The truth unhindered
Smell
Life sweetly savoured
Now
Through our Saviour
Old
Courses Altered
Cold
Hearts are melted
Evil
Men made righteous
All
Souls are precious

Look at the Picture

Look at the Picture

look at the picture
whom do you see
is it you
is it me
a slice of
  humanity

look at the picture
whom do you see
is it you
is it He
a glimpse of
  divinity

odd is the picture
laid out here now
it is mixed
already fixed
but in cloud
  hard to see

that day of despair
He said, “It's done!”
hope was lost
hope was won
won back at
  Calvery

look at the picture
sprinkled with Blood
it was you
now it's He
Dad sees His
  purity

beautiful's the picture
our Dad does see
sin is hid
taken away
it is rid
  eternally

beautiful's the picture
we strain to see
is it true
could it be
us restored
  completely

Easter Joy (Immanuel Is His Name)

Easter Joy (Immanuel Is His Name)
Warwick Allen
Saturday, 29 March 1997


Original poem, “Easter Joy” (1997)
O rejoice, all you peoples of the Earth!
Rejoice, for the Lord is with us,
And God is among us,
And Immanuel is His name.

For unto us He was given,
And for our sake He was slain;
That God's love shan't be hidden,
He suffered our pain.

But our Lord, He is risen;
His glory we shall proclaim.

O rejoice, all you peoples of the Earth!
Rejoice, for the Lord is with us,
And God is among us,
And Jesus is His name.


Song arrangement, with an added verse and pre-chorus (2025), retitled as “Immanuel Is His Name” (2026)
[Chorus 1]
O rejoice, all you peoples of the Earth!
Rejoice, for the Lord is with us,
And God is among us,
And Immanuel is His name.

[Verse 1]
For unto us He was given,
And for our sake He was slain;
That God's love shan't be hidden,To buy for us a pardon
He suffered our pain.

[Chorus 2]
O rejoice, all you peoples of the Earth!
Rejoice, for the Lord is with us,
And God is among us,
And Immanuel is His name.

[Verse 2]
Equal with God, was His dueTruly God in His essence,
But He came down, became manHe came down and took on flesh,
His rights He chose to eschewThrough suff'ring, learnt obedience,
Obediently bore our shameBecame the death of our death!

[Pre-Chorus]
But our Lord, He is risen,
And the Name He is given,:
It's above every name.
His glory we shall proclaim!

[Chorus 3]
O rejoice, all you peoples of the Earth!
Rejoice, for the Lord is with us,
And God is among us,
And Jesus is His name.

[Outro]
Jesus is His name.
