First Kings chapter 10, beginning
at verse 1. And when the queen of Sheba heard
of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the Lord, she came
to prove him with hard questions. And she came to Jerusalem with
a very great train, with camels that bear spices and very much
gold and precious stones. And when she was come to Solomon,
she communed with him of all that was in her heart. And Solomon
told her all her questions. There was not anything he had
from the king which he told her not. He answered everything she
asked. And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's
wisdom in the house that he had built, and the meat of his table,
and the setting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers,
and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his assent by which he went
up into the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her. She was just overwhelmed. And
she said to the king, it was a true report that I heard in
my own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom. Howbeit, I believed
not the words until I came, and mine eyes had seen it. And behold,
the half was not told me. Thy wisdom and prosperity exceeded
the fame which I heard. Paul said that I have not seen,
neither ear heard what God has prepared for them that love him.
The half has not yet been told. Happy, verse 18, happy are thy
men, happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before
thee, and that hear thy wisdom. Blessed be the Lord thy God,
which delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel,
because the Lord loved Israel forever. Therefore made he thee
king to do judgment and justice. And she gave the king 120 talents
of gold, and of spices very great, a very great store, and precious
stones. There came no more such abundance
of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave the king
Solomon. And there may be also of Hiram
that brought gold from Ophir, brought it from Ophir from great
plenty, of almug trees and precious stones. And the king made of
the almond trees pillars for the house of the Lord and for
the king's house, harps also and saltaries for singers. There
came no such almond trees nor were it seen until this day.
And King Solomon gave unto the Queen of Sheba all her desire,
whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of
his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her
own country, she and her servants. After that account that we just
read of concerning the Queen of Sheba's visit to King Solomon,
we find that a record in Matthew 2 about another visit to Jerusalem,
about a thousand years after that which we read of concerning
the Queen of Sheba. She came to hear the wisdom of
Solomon, and she did. She wasn't disappointed. She
returned to her own land declaring, the half wasn't told me. I thought
what I was hearing from afar while I was still in my own country,
Sheba, I thought it's too good to be true, but I tell you it
is true and more than that. The half wasn't told me. In Matthew 2 we read of some
wise men that came to Jerusalem seeking another king. And they
laid their gifts at his feet. They came seeking not Solomon,
but one greater than Solomon. And they found him in Bethlehem,
even the Prince of Peace, the Savior of his people, the King
who would reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of whose
kingdom there should never be an end. And finding him, we read
in Matthew 2, that they rejoiced with great joy, a joy that no
man could take from them. That's the joy of a believing
heart. You remember in Luke, we'll go
to Matthew 12 in a minute, but turn if you will to Luke, Luke
chapter 1. These are the words of Gabriel
to Mary. Before she had conceived, he
comes to tell her that she would. And he tells her something about
that divine, unique person that would be in her womb. In verse
30 of Luke chapter 1, And Daniel said unto her, Fear not, Mary,
for thou hast found favor with God. And behold, thou shalt conceive
in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shall call his name
Jesus. He shall be great. He shall be
great. Behold a greater one. He shall be great. and shall
be called the Son of the Highest. And the Lord God shall give unto
him the throne of his father David. And he shall reign over
the house of Jacob forever. His kingdom, unlike Solomon's,
will never end. His reign shall have no end.
He shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his
kingdom there shall be no end. And after Mary had conceived,
just as the angel had told her, He went to Joseph with these
words concerning that one that should be called Jesus. He repeated
the words to Joseph and added this, call his name Jesus for
he, highlight he, highlight him, he shall save his people from
their sins. I'm aware, as we've already made
mention, that Some of us amongst our little flock are going through
some tough times, some heavy trials, some sickness, physical
suffering, and some heart pain, heart pain. And I want to be some help to
you. I want to be some comfort to you. The Lord told the prophet,
comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith the Lord. How can I do
that? He said, tell them, remind them
that their warfare is accomplished and that their iniquity is put
away. He shall save his people from
their sins. The best thing I can do for myself
and for you is to remind us of our great God and Savior. Mary, that one that will be conceived
in you, Jesus, he shall be Great. All for a refreshing view, a
reviving view. We just sang it. Lord, revive
us again. All for a reviving view of Jesus
Christ. About seven or eight years ago,
Darwin Pruitt preached a message in one of the conferences in
Danville, Kentucky at Grace Baptist Church. His text was Ephesians
chapter 2, verses 4 through 7. But he was telling a story. He
illustrated it like this. He said he'd been to a basketball
game to watch the Kentucky Wildcats play. And on this occasion in
Rupp Arena, he was in the cheap seats, the nosebleed section.
And he said he looked down. And I've been there, too, the
only time I watched them play a game. But he looked down on
that court, and he said, man, they were so tiny. Looked like
ants down there. He said sometime later, the fellow
that he was working for, his boss at the time, gave him some
tickets, his seats. And Darwin said, man, it was
right down there near center court. I mean, it was down there
close. And he said, you could see everything.
The title of his message was A Seat with a View, A Seat with
a View. And his text was right here.
And second, rather, Ephesians 2, listen to this. But God, verse
4, was rich in mercy for his great love with which he loved
us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together
with Christ, by grace you say, and hath raised us up together
and made us set together, my soul, in heavenly places in Christ. Indeed, that is a seat with a
view, is it not? That in the ages to come he might
show the exceeding riches of his grace and his kindness toward
us through Christ Jesus. The title of our message is Behold
One Greater. Yesterday evening as I was preparing
this and studying the speak to you and praying that God would
be pleased to bless it, I heard the thunder outside. The wind
began to blow. And I'll tell you what, I have
a tough time staying in when I hear that. When I hear my great
God displaying some of his majesty, I want to
go out and be a witness to it. So I went outside for just a
few minutes and watched the wind, or heard the wind rather, and
watched the effects of it. and the thunder. And remind me
of that hymn. You're probably thinking of it
as well. Oh, Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder consider
all the worlds thy hands have made, I see the stars, I hear
the rolling thunder. Thy power throughout the universe
displayed. And a child of God, thankfully,
doesn't attribute that to nature, but to creators. He doesn't stand
and marvel the creation, but he looks beyond that. He looks
above that. He looks up to that one who created
it all. In the beginning, God. What a
great God. But more than this, more than
this, is when I think. that God, his son not sparing,
sent him to die, I scarce can take it in. God, don't ever allow
me to think that I can. Don't ever let this sinner get
over the wonder of your mercy on him. Don't you ever allow
me to take for granted, and even as I say those words, I'm praying,
God forgive me, because I know I do, take for granted your great
salvation. Or when I think that God, his
son not sparing, sent him to die, I scarce can take it in,
that on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, the joy that
was set before him, he endured the cross, despising the shame. that on the cross my burden gladly
bearing, he bled and died to take away my sin. Now what can
be this sinner's response to that? Such mercy, such grace,
such a redeemer, such a great God and Savior other than this. Then, then, sings my soul, my
Savior God to thee, how great, how great thou art, how great
thou art. My need as a sinner, a real sinner,
is so great, Lester, I can't save myself. I can't even do
anything in the direction of helping Christ save me. Oh, no. It's nice when we're invited
somewhere, Louie, for a nice meal like we'll enjoy here in
a little bit. And someone tells us, the host
or hostess tells us, help yourself. Help yourself. I like that. I
like to hear that. My father used to tell us children,
take all you want, but make sure you eat all you take. Help yourself. It's good to hear. Oh, but, but,
not when it comes to the salvation of my soul. The words help myself,
they don't apply here. I was told many times, it's up
to you, Larry. It's all up to you. That's not
good news. You remember years ago before
those hucksters were found out, the PTL club, remember someone
told me that stood for pass the loot. But they would always come
out after the introduction, like to Johnny Carson, and they would
say, you can make it, like Don would say, looking like two briar-eating
mules with a big grin on their face. You can make it. And I
found out, that's not good news. That's not good news. I learned
that I could not make it. I learned that it wasn't up to
me. God taught me, as our Lord said in answer to the question
of his disciples, who can be saved? My soul, could words be
plainer? Could words be plainer? When
I hear preachers say, it's up to you, have they never heard
the words of Christ? With men, it is impossible. I hear them say, God's done all
he can do, now it's all up to you. With men, it is impossible,
Christ said, and that, I found, included me. Today, preachers
want to get everybody saved without getting anybody lost. Our Lord
said to the religious folks of his day, the Pharisees and the
scribes, you don't need me. You have no use for me. And they
said so plainly time and time and time again. Away with him. Crucify him. Caesar's our king. We don't need him. There's no
place for him in our religion, a Christless religion. What a
horrible, terrible thing. But our Lord said to them on
one occasion, They that are whole don't need a physician, but those
who are sick. You Pharisees don't need me.
You admit it. You don't need me. Oh, but those
who are sick, those who have learned of God, He told him,
you go and learn what this means. I'll have mercy upon whom I will
have mercy. Go and learn what that means.
Learn by the grace of God. Learn by the Holy Spirit's teaching
that it's not the labor of my hands that can fulfill the law's
demands. God must show me Christ. A great
sinner like me needs a great Savior. Will anything less than
that do? I'm a great Savior. I'll be on
the help of myself. I'll be on the help of any man
other than the God-man, the one mediator between God and man,
the man Christ Jesus. And here's the good news. As
the angel told Mary concerning Jesus Christ, He shall be great. He shall be great. We might ask,
was He not already so? Oh yes, He was great as the Eternal
God, the Everlasting Father. But the angel was telling Mary,
He shall be great as the God-man. He shall be great in the condensation. He shall be great in being made
like unto his brethren. He'll be great as the mediator.
He'll be a great redeemer. He shall not fail. He'll be a
great God and Savior just like I need. Therefore, we're told,
look unto me. Look unto me, my soul, until
God Almighty forces us. I mean, oh, I don't like that
word the free willers say. Well, I like it. I like it. I
like it that God gently by his grace makes us willing in the
day of his power. If not, there's not a sinner
on earth that would ever be willing. Oh yes, blessed is the man whom
thou choosest God and calls us to approach unto thee. And he
says, look unto me. Look unto me. Not John Calvin, not Spurgeon,
not preacher, not priest, not Baptist, not Catholic. Look unto
me and be ye saved. And oh, glory to his name. Glory
to his name. When he removes the scales from
our eyes, when the light shines in the darkness, and we see the
face of God, or rather see God in the face of Jesus Christ. What a view. What have you? Behold, one greater. Matthew
chapter 12 and verse 6, our Lord tells them. Behold, one greater
than the temple is here. Verse 6. Behold, there is one
greater than the temple here. My soul, if there was one place
that was more sacred to the Jew than another, it was the temple.
the former abode of the Shekinah glory, the visible dwelling place
of deity. And here the divine Redeemer
speaks of himself and says in the presence of those very Jews,
saying to you that in this place, right now, standing here is one
greater than the temple. Wow! Man, that must have rubbed
him the wrong way. And then in verse 41, He says,
the men of Nineveh shall rise up in judgment with this generation
and shall condemn it, because they repented at the preaching
of Jonas. And behold, a greater than Jonas
is here. The Word made fresh is here.
The mighty God is here. He is tabernacling among you. And you won't hear Him. You won't
repent. or greater than Jonah. Remember
what he said to the woman at the well? She said, are you greater
than our father Jacob? John chapter 4. Are you greater
than Jacob? Who do you think you are? This
well was given to us by our father Jacob. Are you greater than Jacob? Remember what the Lord said?
He in effect answered, yes I am. Yes, I am. Because whoever drinks
of this well, Jacob's well, this natural water, they're going
to get thirsty again. They're going to thirst again.
And if all a person ever drinks of is what they can grab of this
world, they're going to thirst again. We hear people rather
frequently who were celebrities. Starlets, stars, whoever, commit
suicide. And people scratch their head
and say, I don't understand that. How could they do that? They
had everything. No, they didn't. No, they didn't. They grabbed
all they could get hold of this world, but they thirsted again. That's what our Lord told the
woman. But, but, whosoever drinks of the water that I shall give
him, shall never ever thirst again, the water of life, Jesus
Christ himself. Yes, I'm greater than Jacob. Thank God for such a God and
Savior. In chapter 8 of John, they said,
who do you make yourself out to be? Are you greater than our
father Abraham? They were always throwing that
in his face. We know who our father is. We
know our ancestor. We can trace our roots back to
Abraham, the friend of God. And he said, Abraham rejoiced
to see my day. And he saw it and was glad. Abraham rejoiced. when he was
about to offer his only son Isaac upon the altar at God's command
and God stayed his hand and Abraham called the name of that place
Jehovah-Jireh. The Lord will provide and it
will be seen that the Lord will provide. When the fullness of
the time was come, God sent forth his son. He will provide himself
a sacrifice made of a woman made under the law to redeem them
that were under the law. On Mount Calvary, God slew his son. Abraham was
told, don't do it. Stay your hand, Abraham, don't
do it. And a substitute was found. When
God made bare his holy arm, when he said, away goes sword against
the man who is my fellow, smite the shepherd, his arm wasn't
stayed. No, he thrust the dagger, the
sword, the sword of divine justice into the heart of his son. And by that, justice was satisfied. By that one offering for sin,
sin was put away, and redemption was obtained. Behold, a greater
than Solomon is here. That's our text, verse 42. Behold,
one greater. One greater. The queen, verse
42, of the south shall rise up in judgment with this generation
and shall condemn it. For she came from the uttermost
part of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon and behold,
behold, a greater than Solomon is here. Oh may God allow us
to behold him. As great as Solomon was in his
day, he's no comparison except as a type of the greater than
Solomon, the Lord Jesus Christ. Solomon himself in his psalm
said concerning Christ, he's altogether lovely. Altogether
lovely. View him in any aspect you want. View Him as God. View Him as
man. View Him as the mighty God. View
Him as Jehovah's righteous servant. View Him as mediator, redeemer,
savior. View Him as your elder brother. View Him as your all in all,
whatever way you view Him. He's altogether lovely. There's not a spot in him. Solomon
said he's the fairest among 10,000. Only of one individual did God
Almighty ever speak thus and said, this is my beloved son
in whom I am well pleased. Well pleased with everything
he's ever done. Oh my. The first breath he drew when
he entered this world through the womb of the Virgin, laying
in that stable in Bethlehem, till that last breath, 33 and
some odd years later, that last breath that he drew upon the
cross and said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit.
And everything in between was absolutely perfect. Perfect! Never could God look at any thought,
any deed, any word from His Son and say, I'm not pleased with
that. Christ could say, unlike Solomon,
I do always those things that please the Father. Look back
for a moment there in 1 Kings. 1 Kings we read from chapter
10 a moment ago. Listen to these words from 1
Kings chapter 11. Verse 9, And the Lord was angry
with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the Lord God
of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice. And he commanded
him concerning this thing, and he should not go after other
gods. But he kept not that which the Lord commanded. That could
never be said of our great King. Behold Solomon, and you only
behold a man, and the weakness of a man, and the simpleness
of a man. But if you ever behold Christ, you behold a greater
than Solomon. You're beholding the Lamb of
God. The Lamb of God. Without blemish
and without spot. Perfect. You behold that one
who entered this world saying, I come in that body that you
prepared me, O God. I come to do thy will, O my God. And he did. He really did it. If God ever does for us what
Christ said He did for Peter, that is, revealed to us who Christ
is, His Son is, the result will be this. Oh, how sweet to sing
the song, but more than that, to have the sweeter experience
of knowing my faith has found a resting place. It's landed
upon the only object of faith, the Lord Jesus Christ himself,
who said, come unto me. Oh, I remember. Come to me, all
ye that labor." I was like Bunyan's Christian, his pilgrim, with
that load up on his back and he couldn't get rid of it when
God had stripped me and gotten me lost. Man, I went everywhere,
talked to everybody. What must I do? I don't know
what to do. I'm lost. That's all I know for
sure. I'm lost. And I couldn't get rid of that
burden. And I thought, well, this is going to crush me down
to hell. And then he who is greater than
Solomon said, Larry, come unto me, come unto me, and I will
give you rest. And again, like Bunyan's famous
allegory, when he came up the hill, up to the mountain, he
saw the cross, and upon seeing the cross, he said that bird
dropped off his shoulders, and it just rolled down the hill.
and just continued to roll and rolled it to a sepulcher and
Bunyan said he saw it again no more forever. My sins, the bliss
of this glorious thought, my sins not in part but the whole
are nailed to this cross and I bear them no more. Our Solomon
has a greater kingdom. Solomon was limited. Our king
rules over all. Have you ever had people say
to you discussing that subject which is so glorious to you and
I? Which is the pillow on which we lay our weary heads? That
our God is in the heavens doing whatsoever He is pleased. In
other words, that God is sovereign. They'll say, yes, I believe that.
God is sovereign, but, but, No, no buts, no buts. God is sovereign. This is Jesus, even his enemies
say it, saying more than they realize, the king of the Jews. But he's more than that, he's
king over all. The prophet Isaiah said in Isaiah
chapter 6, in the year that King Uzziah died, what happened? Isaiah said, I was directed to
look up. I saw also the Lord, another
king. He who setteth king forever,
setting up on a throne high and lifted up, ruling forever. Our peace, our security, is not
established or determined by who sits in the White House,
but who sits upon the throne of everlasting glory, the King
of kings and the Lord of lords. The rule and reign of earthly
kings cease, because they cease, like Solomon did, like Uzziah
did. but not King Jesus. I like that,
don't you? King Jesus. He saideth king forever. He saideth upon the flood, above
it, overruling everything for his own glory and the salvation
of his people. Never a man spake like this man,
it was said. Indeed so. Because he said, as
we mentioned last Sunday in the message, He said to a stormy
sea, peace be still. My soul, would you look at that?
The sea lays down at the voice of its creator. It obeys him. And there's a great calm. He
said to a leopard, a leopard who was an outcast, had been
pronounced unclean. He said, be thou clean. I will,
in response to his cry for mercy. He says, I will be thou clean.
And the result was, the leper was cleansed and made whole.
He stands at the tomb of a man who had been dead for four days. And he speaks that man's name,
saying, Lazarus, come forth. And the result is, Lazarus came
forth. Indeed, indeed, never a man spake
like this man. And when he cried, When he cried,
oh, the greatest miracle of all those others, those pale into
nothing, so to speak, compared to this. Oh, never a man spake
like this man, because upon that cross, after being made sin,
he cried out as the great victor that he is, the mighty conqueror,
the mighty God, it is finished, and glory to his name it was.
It was redemption then and there was obtained, not determined
by anything done after that, but then and there Jesus Christ
paid it all. And everyone whose sins he put
away, his redeemed shall all be brought to glory. And when
he speaks those sweet words to the soul of any sinner, thy sins
are forgiven, go in peace, that's done too. It's done. It's done. I had people tell
me, well, Larry, just believe, just believe, just reach down
there. That's what I thought they were telling me. And looking
back on it, I believe they were. Just reach down there and see
if you can find faith. See if you can muster up faith
in old Adam. I couldn't do it. Couldn't find
it. I tried. I tried. Did all I was told, but it did
bring peace. Others told me, oh, Larry, you're
forgiven, you're saved. And I lay in bed at night and
my conscience and God's spirit saying, lost, lost, lost. I became so confused. I thought,
well, if I am saved like these people are telling me, then even
it's not enough to help me. I'm such a rebel, such a sinner.
Oh, but when he spoke to my heart, when he said, thy sins are all
forgiven thee. Then I had peace. Peace of a
reconciled God. Peace with God through our Lord
Jesus Christ. Solomon's subjects could be numbered,
but not that one who was greater than Solomon. He rules over a
kingdom that can't be numbered except by him. He knows those
that are his. Because they're a multitude that
no man can number. And the subject of this king
willingly bowed to him. Have you ever been accused of
once people hear you believe that terrible doctrine of election?
You believe only a few might be saved. They've never heard me say that.
No, I don't believe a few might be saved. I believe there's a
multitude. There's no might about it. They
shall be saved. I know that Jesus Christ didn't
die for nothing. He didn't die for a hope, so
my soul, how dishonoring to God Almighty, to the Son of God himself,
to say that one for whom he died ends up in hell after all. Well,
if that's so, none of us have no hope, Lester. Louis, none
of us have no hope. If one for whom he died is lost,
then how do I know I won't be either? Oh no. He shall see up
to the veil of his soul and he'll be satisfied. He'll be satisfied. He'll be satisfied because he
knows everyone he redeemed, everyone that he gives grace to will be
brought to glory. And it will be the like I often
say and enjoy saying it. It will be the claim, the boast
of King Jesus, Father, of all you gave me. Here they are. I
lost none. And we're going to throw our
crowns at his feet and say, hmm, worthy is the Lamb. Worthy is
the Lamb. Our King has greater glory. Solomon's was given to him by
God. For our Lord has his inherently. Though he was made like his brethren,
he was God. Never ceased being God. Didn't
think it was robbery to be equal with God. He wasn't taking something
that wasn't his already. We sing of the glorious conquest
of our king. My soul, Solomon reigned over
a kingdom, but our king, he reigns over sin. My, my, my. The only help for reigning sin
is reigning grace. And the floods of His grace prevail
over the mountains of our sins, just like the children of Israel's
enemies at the Red Sea. They were covered up. So the
blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, in the river of that ever-flowing
fountain, our sins are all covered up. They can't be seen again. And when the Queen of Sheba,
we read, had seen Solomon's wisdom and the house that he had built,
there was no more spirit in her. Was it old McShane that said,
when I see thee as thou art, love thee with unsinning heart,
when I stand before thy throne dressed in beauty not my own,
not till then shall I know what a debt of love I owe. And we'll cast our crowns at
his feet. Our king has greater wisdom, does he not? Could Solomon
have answered a question of the Queen of Sheba like this? How can a man be just with God? All man's wisdom produced this. The world by wisdom knew not
God. All the smart alecks, all their
knowledge, put together produce this. They worship their creation
rather than the Creator, groping in darkness. But behold, a greater
than Solomon is here. He's the very wisdom of God. Only He, only through Him can
God Almighty be just in justifying a sinner. Only in Him do mercy
and truth meet together. and righteousness and peace kiss
one another. Only Christ, the wisdom of God,
who of God is made unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification,
only He answers these great questions. He is the answer. How can a man
be just with God? How can he that's born a woman
be clean? How can God be just in justifying
a sinner? How can a man be born when he's
old? That was the question of Nicodemus.
If a man died, Job asked, will he live again? Jesus Christ answers
all those questions. How is it that God sees and knows
all things and yet he does not see and does not remember our
sins? Because they've all been put
away. They've all been covered. They've
all been buried in the depths of His forgiveness. Then last
of all, our King, King Jesus, has greater riches. Oh my! Open His treasure chest, that
treasure chest of grace, and there sparkles the precious gift
of faith. Faith to believe. There's the
Father's ring of reconciliation. It'll never be taken off. There's
a crown of righteousness that fadeth not away, a mansion prepared
for all of his own in glory. And in the meantime, we're kept
by the power of God. Man, that's rich. That's rich. Solomon's throne was overlaid
with gold, we read. Or rather, in 1 Kings we're told,
overlaid with gold. Oh, but look at the throne our
king sits on. A throne of grace. A throne of grace. Of what value is that? There
he sits with all the riches of God's grace at his disposal. He alone has the right and the
power to dispense it, and bless God, he does. He never runs low. Never runs low. Turn, if you
will, to Hebrews chapter 4. We'll bring this to a close. Let's look at these familiar
verses. Look where our King is. Look at what he possesses, what
he's doing. Hebrews chapter 4, verse 14,
Behold, a greater than Solomon is here. Seeing then we have
a great high priest that is passed into the heavens, Jesus, the
Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not
a high priest which cannot be touched with the filling of our
infirmities, but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without
sin. Let us therefore come boldly
unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find
grace to help in time of need. Grace that can conquer and cleanse
within. Grace that is greater than all
my sin. Yes, they're greater than Solomon
is here, because our King is able to save unto the uttermost
all those that come unto God by Him. He's able to do exceedingly,
abundantly, above all that we ask or think. And He's able,
He's able to keep us from falling and to present us faultless before
the presence of His glory. My soul indeed, greater than
Solomon, is here when Christ shall come with shouts of acclamation. and take us home. Oh, what joy
shall fill our hearts. Then we shall bow in humble adoration
and there proclaim, my God, how great thou art. To the only wise God, our Father,
be glory and majesty and opinion and power, both now and forever. Amen. Amen. God bless you.
