🦅  Our Hymn is:

🦅💕 *Head of Thy Church triumphant – MHB. 411.*

Author:        *Charles Wesley, (1707-1788)*

Meter:          *7.7.8.7 D*

Publication Date:   *1918*

 

*1.*

Head of Thy church triumphant,

We joyfully adore thee;

Till thou appear,

Thy members here

Shall sing like those in glory.

We lift our hearts and voices

With blest anticipation,

And cry aloud,

And give to God

The praise of our salvation.

 

*2.*

The name we still acknowledge

That burst our bonds in sunder,

And loudly sing

Our conquering King.

In songs of joy and wonder.

In every day’s deliverance

Our Jesus we discover;

‘Tis he, ‘tis he

That smote the sea,

And led us safely over!

 

*3.*

While in affliction’s furnace,

And passing through the fire,

Thy love we praise,

Which knows our days

And ever brings us nigher.

We clap our hands exulting

In thine almighty favour,

Thy love divine

Which made us thine

Shall keep us thine for ever.

 

*4.*

By faith we see the glory

To which thou shalt restore us;

The cross despise

For that high prize

Which thou has set before us.

And if thou count us worthy,

We each, as dying Stephen,

Shall see thee stand

At God’s right hand

To take us up to heaven.

🦅  Our *THEME* For Scriptural Exposition:

💕 *_“Triumph in Faith: A Journey From Struggle To Glory!”_* 💕

 

🦅   *TEXT: ROMANS 5: 1-5* (NKJV):

*_“Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”_ *

 

*Relevance:*

This passage embodies the journey from struggle (tribulations) to glory (positive manifestations made possible through hope in God’s promises), aligning with the triumph of faith and the hymn’s theme of Christ’s triumph as Head of the Church.

💕🦅  Our *THEME:*

💕 *_“Triumph in Faith: A Journey From Struggle To Glory!”_* 💕

 

🦅   *TEXT: Romans 5: 1-5* (NKJV):

*_“Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”_ *

 

Beloved, Romans 5:1-5 is a divine roadmap for the soul. The Apostle Paul writes not as a theoretician but as a *veteran of suffering*—imprisoned, shipwrecked, persecuted. Yet he declares: *“We glory in tribulations!”* How? Because tribulation forges perseverance, perseverance builds character, and character births a hope that *“does not disappoint.”*

 

This is the heartbeat of Charles Wesley’s hymn, *“Head of Thy Church Triumphant.”* Wesley, the 18th child of Susanna Annesley and Rev. Samuel Wesley, knew struggle intimately. His conversion on Whitsunday 1738 transformed a restless soul into a poet of divine hope. He penned 6,500 hymns, many amid persecution, reminding us: *“God is at the end of the tunnel.”*

 

Wesley’s omitted fifth verse speaks of divine guidance *“through torrents of temptation”* and the *“fire of tribulation.”* Like Stephen, who saw Christ standing at God’s right hand (Acts 7:55), Wesley urges us to fix our eyes on the *Church Triumphant*—as that cloud of witnesses cheers us onward.

 

 

I feel led to apply this exposition to *Triumph for All Seasons*

 

1. *To the Weary in Hope* (Romans 5:3-4): Your pain is not purposeless. Like gold when undergoing refining, your trials are crafting resilience. Please, cling to Christ—your ashes will become beauty.

 

2. *To the Sceptic:* Faith is not blind optimism but *tested assurance*. Since your faithlessness cannot cause God to vanish, what will it cost you to allow God into your consciousness and see if he would ignore you. Witness the saints who, amid storms, found peace that defies logic.

 

3. *To Leaders in Industry:* Steward wealth with integrity. Profit margins falter but God’s provision endures. Let perseverance build ethical legacies through you.

 

4. *To Governing Authorities* (Romans 13:1): Lead with humility. When you midwife systems shaped by justice, God’s mercy on you (Hebrews 8:12,) will reflect Heaven’s heart in all you do.

 

5. *To Interfaith Dialogue:* Seek common ground in compassion. Embrace tolerance. From genuine experience, we have discovered that sufferings’ role in shaping character transcends creed.

 

 

*Conclusion: The Song of Moses & the Lamb*

 

Beloved, we are the *Church Militant*—yet already tasting triumph. Charles Wesley’s hymn dares us to sing through the fire: *“Through Thee we shall break through them all, and sing the song of Moses!”*

 

*This is our inheritance:* trials today, glory tomorrow. So run, endure, hope. As Paul promises, *“the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit.”* The same Spirit that raised Christ dwells in *you*—equipping you to rise from struggle to splendour.

 

*May every heart echo Paul’s triumph: “We glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope”* (Romans 5:3-4, NKJV). 💕
