The Duteous Day Now Closes

each flower and tree reposes,
shade creeps o'er wild and wood:
let us, as night is falling,
on God our maker calling,
give thanks and bless the Giver good.

breaks forth in starlight tender
from myriad worlds unknown;
and we, this marvel seeing,
forget our selfish being
for joy of beauty not our own.

has missed God's loving kindness
and plunged us into strife;
yet when life's day is over,
shall death's fair night discover
the fields of everlasting life. Topics: Evening; Creation; O Gracious Light Used With Tune: INNSBRUCK

O God Beyond All Praising
Author: Michaal Perry, 1942-1996 Appears in 35 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 1, 2 Lyrics: 1 O God beyond all praising,
we worship you today
and sing the love amazing
that songs cannot repay;
for we can only wonder
at every gift you send,
at blessings without number
and mercies without end.
We lift our hearts before you
and wait upon your Word,
we honor and adore you,
our great and mighty Lord.
2 The flower of earthly splendor
in time must surely die,
its fragile bloom surrender
to you, the Lord most high;
but hidden from all nature
the eternal seed is sown
though small in mortal stature,
to heaven's garden grown:
for Christ, your gift from heaven,
from death has set us free,
and we through him are given
the final victory.
3 Then hear, O gracious Savior,
accept the love we bring,
that we who know your favor
may serve you as our King;
and whether our tomorrows
be filled with good or ill,
we'll triumph through our sorrows
and rise to bless you still:
to marvel at your beauty
and glory in your ways,
and make a joyful duty
our sacrifice of praise. Topics: Praise of Christ; Praise of God; Elements of Worship Praise and Adoration Used With Tune: THAXTED

Spirit of God, that moved of old
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1823-1895 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 29 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 1:2 Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, that moved of old
Upon the waters' darkened face,
Come, when our faithless hearts are cold,
And stir them with an inward grace.
2 Thou that art pow'r and peace combined,
All highest strength, all purest love,
The rushing of the mighty wind,
The brooding of the gentle dove.
3 Come, give us still thy pow'rful aid,
And urge us on, and make us thine;
Nor leave the hearts that once were made
Fit temples for thy grace divine.
4 Nor let us quench thy sev'nfold light;
But still with softest breathings stir
Our wayward souls, and lead us right,
O Holy Ghost, the Comforter.
Amen. Topics: Holy Spirit; Holy Spirit Comforter; Holy Spirit Dove; Holy Spirit Grieving the; Holy Spirit Indwelling; Holy Spirit Prayers to Used With Tune: SOLDAU
