Lord, We Thank Thee for the Pleasure

Author: Thomas W. Jex-Blake Meter: 8.7.8.7 D with refrain Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lord, we thank Thee for the pleasure That our happy lifetime gives, For the boundless worth and treasure Of a soul that ever lives; Mind that looks before and after, Lifting eyes to things above; Human tears, and human laughter, And the depths of human love. 2. For the thrill, the leap, the gladness Of our pulses flowing free; E’en for every touch of sadness That may bring us nearer Thee; But, above all other kindness, Thine unutterable love, Which, to heal our sin and blindness, Sent Thy dear Son from above. 3. Teach us so our days to number That we may be early wise; Dreamy mist, or cloud, or slumber, Never dull our heav’nward eyes. Hearty be our work and willing, As to Thee, and not to men; For we know our soul’s fulfilling Is in Heav’n, and not ’til then. The music for ABBOT'S LEIGH is under copyright.

God Whose Love is Always Stronger

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: God whose love is always stronger Than our weakness, pride and fear Lyrics: God whose love is always stronger Than our weakness, pride and fear, In your world, we pray and wonder How to be more faithful here. Hate too often grows inside us; Fear rules what the nations do. So we pray, when wars divide us: Give us love, Lord! Make us new! Love is patient, kind and caring, Never arrogant or rude, Never boastful, all things bearing; Love rejoices in the truth. When we’re caught up in believing War will make the terror cease, Show us Jesus’ way of living; May our strength be in your peace. May our faith in you be nourished; May your churches hear your call. May our lives be filled with courage As we speak your love for all. Now emboldened by your Spirit Who has given us new birth, Give us love, that we may share it Till your love renews the earth.

Through us bring your balm of gladness to the wounded and oppressed; help us claim and show God’s favor as a people called and blessed. 2 Word made flesh, who gave up glory to become our great high priest, taking on our human nature to redeem the last and least: let your courage and compassion shape and guide our ministries; as our Savior and our Shepherd, lead us to the truth that frees. 3 Loving God, who birthed creation from the nothingness of space, kindling life where all was empty, turning chaos into grace: when we feel confused and fruitless, dawn upon our restless night; give us faith’s imagination, hope’s renewing, love’s delight. 4 Triune God, eternal Being, never ending, unbegun, boundless grace and perfect justice, righteous and forgiving One: so enfold us in your mercy that our wills and yours unite; through us may the world behold you, find your love, your truth, your light.

Through the Darkness of the Ages

Author: Hilary Jolly, 1945- Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Through the darkness of the ages, through the sorrows of the days, strength of weary generations, lifting hearts in hope and praise, light in darkness, joy in sorrow, presence to allay all fears, Jesus, you have kept your promise, faithful through two thousand years. 2 Bounty of two thousand harvests, beauty of two thousand springs; He who framed the times and seasons has vouchsafed us greater things. Word of God who spoke creation speaks forgiveness, speaks to save, gathers still his ransomed people in the life he freely gave. 3 Countless flowers have bloomed and withered, countless noons are sealed in night, shattered thrones and fallen empires, realms and riches lost from sight. Christ, your kingdom still increases as the centuries unfold. Grain that fell to earth and perished has brought forth ten thousand-fold. 4 Master, we shall sing your praises, man of sorrows, God of power, for the measured march of seasons shall at last bring in the hour when, as lightning leaps the heavens, you return to lead us home. You have promised, "I am coming." Swiftly, our Lord Jesus, come. Scripture: Revelation 22:20 Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH
