Now Thank We All Our God
Author: Martin Rinkart; Catherine Winkworth Meter: Irregular Appears in 694 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:15 Lyrics: 1. Now thank we all our God
With heart and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things hath done,
In whom His world rejoices;
Who, from our mother's arms,
Hath blest us on our way
With countless gifts of love,
And still is ours today.
2. O may this bounteous God
Thro' all our life be near us,
With ever joyful hearts
And blessed peace to cheer us;
And keep us in His grace,
And guide us when perplexed,
And free us from all ills
In this world and the next.
3. All praise and thanks to God
The Father now be given,
The Son, and Him who reigns
With them in highest heaven,
The one eternal God,
Whom earth and heav'n adore;
For thus it was, is now,
And shall be evermore. Used With Tune: NUN DANKET
Now Thank We All Our God
Come, Ye Thankful People, Come
Author: Henry Alford Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 732 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:15 First Line: Come, ye thankful people come Lyrics: 1 Come, ye thankful people, come;
raise the song of harvest home.
All is safely gathered in,
ere the winter storms begin.
God, our Maker, doth provide
for our wants to be supplied.
Come to God's own temple, come;
raise the song of harvest home.
2 All the world is God's own field,
fruit in thankful praise to yield,
wheat and tares together sown,
unto joy or sorrow grown.
First the blade, and then the ear,
then the full corn shall appear.
Lord of harvest, grant that we
wholesome grain and pure may be.
3 For the Lord our God shall come,
and shall take the harvest home;
from each field shall in that day
all offenses purge away;
give the angels charge at last
in the fire the tares to cast,
but the fruitful ears to store
in God's garner evermore.
4 Even so, Lord, quickly come
to thy final harvest home.
Gather thou thy people in,
free from sorrow, free from sin,
there forever purified,
in thy presence to abide:
come, with all thine angels, come;
raise the glorious harvest home!

There Is a Green Hill Far Away
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 701 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:1-16 Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away,
outside a city wall,
where the dear Lord was crucified
who died to save us all.
2 We may not know, we cannot tell,
what pains he had to bear;
but we believe it was for us
he hung and suffered there.
3 He died that we might be forgiven,
he died to make us good,
that we might go at last to heaven,
saved by his precious blood.
4 There was no other good enough
to pay the price of sin;
he only could unlock the gate
of heaven and let us in.
5 O dearly, dearly has he loved,
and we must love him too,
and trust in his redeeming blood,
and try his works to do. Topics: Holy Week (Good Friday) Used With Tune: HORSLEY

Christ's own ministry to share,
and in bread and wine and water
sacraments of grace declare.

may your word spring into life;
in our time of doubt and challenge,
may its truth affirm belief;
and in days of pain and darkness,
may it heal our guilt and grief.

born in us, that love extend,
grow within your chosen servant(s),

Author: John Ellerton (1826-1893) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 290 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:15 Lyrics: 1 The day you gave us, Lord, has ended;
the darkness falls at your behest;
to you our morning hymns ascended,
your praise shall sanctify our rest.
2 We thank you that your Church unsleeping,
while earth rolls onwards into light,
through all the world her watch is keeping,
nor rests from worship day or night.
3 As o'er each continent and island
the dawn leads on another day,
the voice of prayer is never silent,
nor dies the song of praise away.
4 The sun that bids us rest is waking
your children 'neath the western sky,
and hour by hour fresh lips are making
your wondrous deeds resound on high.
5 So be it, Lord! your throne shall never,
like earths proud empires, pass away;
your kingdom stands and grows for ever,
till all your creatures own your sway. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in the morning and evening; Kingdom of God Used With Tune: ST. CLEMENT

Sing Praise to God Who Reigns Above
Author: Frances Elizabeth Cox; Johann Jacob Schütz Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 196 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:15 Lyrics: 1 Sing praise to God who reigns above,
the God of all creation,
the God of power, the God of love,
the God of our salvation.
With healing balm my soul is filled,
and every faithless murmur stilled:
to God all praise and glory!
2 What God’s almighty power has made
God's gracious mercy keepeth;
by morning glow or evening shade
God's watchful eye ne'er sleepeth.
Within the kingdom of God's might,
lo! all is just and all is right:
to God all praise and glory!
3 The Lord is never far away,
but, through all grief distressing,
an ever-present help and stay,
our peace and joy and blessing,
as with a mother's tender hand
God gently leads the chosen band:
to God all praise and glory!
4 Thus all my toilsome way along
I sing aloud thy praises,
that all may hear the grateful song
my voice unwearied raises.
Be joyful in the Lord, my heart;
both soul and body, take your part:
to God all praise and glory!

In endless hymns through all our days.

And set us free from doubt that blinds.

"O holy, holy Lord Most High!"
And in the light of that blest place
We then shall see You face to face.

And Holy Spirit, Three in One!
To You, O blessed Trinity,
Be praise throughout eternity!
