For the beauty of the earth

Author: Folliott S. Pierpoint Hymnal: HPAG1933 #71b (1950) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 For the beauty of the earth; For the beauty of the skies; For the love which from our birth Over and around us lies: Lord of all, to Thee we raise This our hymn of grateful praise. 2 For the wonder of each hour Of the day and of the night, Hill and vale, and tree and flower, Sun and moon, and stars of light: Lord of all, to Thee we raise This our hymn of grateful praise. 3 For the joy of ear and eye; For the heart and mind's delight; For the mystic harmony Linking sense to sound and sight: Lord of all, to Thee we raise This our hymn of grateful praise. 4 For the joy of human love, Brother, sister, parent, child, Friends on earth, and friends above; For all gentle thoughts and mild: Lord of all, to Thee we raise This our hymn of grateful praise. 5 For Thy Church that evermore Lifteth holy hands above, Offering up on every shore Her pure sacrifice of love: Lord of all, to Thee we raise This our hymn of grateful praise. Amen.

When the great sun sinks to his rest

Author: Rev. Maltbie D. Babcock Hymnal: HPAG1933 #72a (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When the great sun sinks to his rest, His golden glories thrilling me, And voiceless longings stir my breast, Then teach me, Lord, to worship Thee. 2 And when the stars— the daylight fled— In serried, shining ranks I see, Filling the splendid vault o’erhead, Then teach me, Lord, to worship Thee. 3 Or if in solemn forest shades The calm of nature steals o’er me, And silence all my soul pervades, Then teach me, Lord, to worship Thee. 4 Not in the sacred shrines alone, Which chime their summons unto me, Would I look upward to Thy throne, But everywhere would worship Thee. Amen. Topics: God the Father God in Nature; Adoration; Creation, The; God Nature, His Glory in; Nature Services; Prayer and Intercession; Worship Tune Title: ST. VENANTIUS

With songs and honors sounding loud

Author: Rev. Isaac Watts Hymnal: HPAG1933 #75 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 With songs and honors sounding loud, Address the Lord on high; Over the heavens He spreads His cloud, And waters veil the sky. 2 He sends His showers of blessing down To cheer the plains below; He makes the grass the mountains crown, And corn in valleys grow. 3 His steady counsels change the face Of the declining year; He bids the sun cut short his race, And wintry days appear. 4 He sends His word, and melts the snow; The fields no longer mourn; He calls the warmer gales to blow, And bids the spring return. 5 The changing wind, the flying cloud, Obey His mighty word: With songs and honors sounding loud Praise ye the sovereign Lord! Amen.

Pulse of waters blithely beating, Wave advancing, wave retreating, Praise ye, praise ye, God the Lord! 3 Rock and highland, wood and island, Crag where eagle’s pride hath soared, Mighty mountains, purple-breasted, Peaks cloud-cleaving, snowy-crested, Praise ye, praise ye, God the Lord! 4 Praise Him ever, bounteous Giver! Praise Him, Father, Friend and Lord! Each glad soul its free course winging, Each blithe voice its free song singing, Praise the great and mighty Lord! Amen.

Isaac Watts Hymnal: HPAG1933 #77 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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 her 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, Bears all its sons away; They 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.

I look to Thee in every need

Author: Rev. Samuel Longfellow Hymnal: HPAG1933 #79 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 I look to Thee in every need, And never look in vain; I feel Thy strong and tender love, And all is well again: The thought of Thee is mightier far Than sin and pain and sorrow are. 2 Discouraged in the work of life, Disheartened by its load, Shamed by its failures or its fears, I sink beside the road; But let me only think of Thee And then new heart springs up in me. 3 Thy calmness bends serene above, My restlessness to still; Around me flows Thy quickening life, To nerve my faltering will: Thy presence fills my solitude; Thy providence turns all to good. 4 Embosomed deep in Thy dear love, Held in Thy law, I stand; Thy hand in all things I behold, And all things in Thy hand; Thou leadest me by unsought ways, And turn'st my mourning into praise.
