Let All the World in Every Corner Sing
Author: George Herbert Meter: 10.4.6.6.6.6.10.4 Appears in 174 hymnals First Line: The heavens are not too high Lyrics:
Let all the world in every corner sing,
My God and King!
1 The heavens are not too high,
God's praise may thither fly;
The earth is not too low,
God's praises there may grow.
Let all the world in every corner sing,
My God and King!
2 The church with psalms must shout:
No door can keep them out;
But, above all, the heart
Must bear the longest part.
Let all the world in every corner sing,
My God and King!

Brightest and Best of the Stars of the Morning
Author: Reginald Heber Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 917 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the stars of the morning,
Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid;
Star of the east, the horizon adorning,
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
2 Cold on His cradle the dewdrops are shining,
Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall;
Angels adore Him in slumber reclining,
Maker and Monarch and Savior of all!
3 Shall we then yield Him, in costly devotion,
Odors of Edom and offerings divine.
Gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean,
Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine?
4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation,
Vainly with gifts would His favor secure;
Richer by far is the heart’s adoration,
Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.

Thank You, God, for Water, Soil, and Air
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 9.10.10.9 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thank you, God, for water, soil and air,
Large gifts supporting everything that lives.
Forgive our spoiling and abuse of them.
Help us renew the face of the earth.
2 Thank you, God, for minerals and ores,
The basis of all building, wealth, and speed.
Forgive our reckless plundering and waste.
Help us renew the face of the earth.
3 Thank you, God, for priceless energy,
Stored in each atom, gathered from the sun.
Forgive our greed and carelessness of power.
Help us renew the face of the earth.
4 Thank you, God, for weaving nature's life
Into a seamless robe, a fragile whole.
Forgive our haste that tampers unaware.
Help us renew the face of the earth.
5 Thank you, God, for making planet earth
a home for us and ages yet unborn.
Help us to share, consider, save, and store.
Come and renew the face of the earth.

O Worship the King, All Glorious Above!
Author: Robert Grant Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1,163 hymnals First Line: O worship the King, all glorious above Lyrics: 1 O worship the King, all glorious above!
O gratefully sing God's power and God's love;
Our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days,
Pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.
2 O tell of God's might, O sing of God's grace,
Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space,
His chariots of heaven the deep thunderclouds form,
And bright is God's path on the wings of the storm.
3 The earth with its store of wonders untold,
Almighty, Thy power hath founded of old;
Hath stablished it fast by a changeless decree,
And round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea.
4 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.
5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail;
Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end,
Our maker, defender, redeemer, and friend.

Our God, Our Help in Ages Past
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,255 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home:
2 Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received its frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.
3 A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
4 Time, like an ever rolling stream,
Soon bears us all away;
We fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.
5 Our God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while life shall last,
And our eternal home.

The Church's One Foundation
Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 879 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Church’s one foundation
Is Jesus Christ her Lord;
She is His new creation
By water and the word.
From heaven He came and sought her
To be His holy bride;
With His own blood He bought her
And for her life He died.
2 Elect from every nation,
Yet one o’er all the earth,
Her charter of salvation
One Lord, one faith, one birth;
One holy name she blesses,
Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses,
With every grace endued.
3 Though with a scornful wonder
This world sees her oppressed,
By schisms rent asunder,
By heresies distressed,
Yet saints their watch are keeping;
Their cry goes up, “How long?”
And soon the night of weeping
Shall be the morn of song.
4 Mid toil and tribulation,
And tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation
Of peace forevermore;
Till with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blest,
And the great church victorious
Shall be the church at rest.
5 Yet she on earth has union
With God the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion
With those whose rest is won:
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we,
Like them, the meek and lowly,
May live eternally. Topics: Church Universal Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:11 Used With Tune: AURELIA
