All Praise to the King is a general anthem that may be especially appropriate for Ascension. Its optional second verse is suitable for Easter. Suggested corresponding lectionary readings for Ascension include Psalm 97, John 17:20-26, Acts 16:16-34, and Revelation 22: 12-20; one basic homiletical theme is uniting with one voice to praise the Sovereign of heaven and earth. For Easter, suggested corresponding lectionary readings include Psalm 118: 14-24, John 20:1-18, Acts 10:34-43, and 1 Corinthians 15: 19-26; one basic homiletical theme is praising the risen Lord who rules in triumph over all.
