All glory be to God on high
Author: Nicolaus Decius; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: ELHW1908 #1 (1908) Lyrics: 1 All glory be to God on high,
Who hath our race befriended!
To us no harm shall now come nigh,
The feud at last is ended?
God showeth His good will toward men,
And peace shall dwell on earth again;
O thank Him for His goodness.
2 We praise, we worship Thee, we trust
And give Thee thanks forever,
O Father, that Thy rule is just
And wise, and changes never:
Thy boundless power o'er all things reigns,
Done is whate'er Thy will ordains;
Blest we that Thou art Ruler!
3 O Jesus Christ, our God and Lord,
Son of Thy heavenly Father,
O Thou who hast our peace restored
And straying sheep dost gather,
Thou Lamb of God, to Thee on high,
From out our depths we sinners cry,
Have mercy on us, Jesus!
4 O Holy Ghost, Thou precious Gift,
Thou Comforter unfailing,
O'er Satan's snares our souls uplift,
And let Thy power availing
Avert our woes and calm our dread;
For us the Savior's blood was shed,
We trust in Thee to save us!

All glory be to God on high
Blessed Jesus, at Thy Word
Author: Tobias Clausnitzer; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: ELHW1908 #2 (1908) Lyrics: 1 Blessed Jesus, at Thy Word
We are gathered all to hear Thee;
Let our hearts and souls be stirred,
Now to seek and love and fear Thee;
By Thy teachings sweet and holy,
Drawn from earth to love Thee solely.
2 All our knowledge, sense and sight
Lie in deepest darkness shrouded,
Till Thy Spirit breaks our night
With the beams of trust unclouded;
Thou alone to God canst win us,
Thou must work all good within us.
3 Glorious Lord, Thyself impart!
Light of Light from God proceeding.
Open Thou our ears and heart,
Help us by Thy Spirit's pleading,
Hear the cry Thy people raises,
Hear and bless our prayers and praises!

Light of Light, enlighten me
Author: Benjamin Schmolck; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: ELHW1908 #5 (1908) Lyrics: 1 Light of Light, enlighten me,
Now anew the day is dawning;
Sun of grace, the shadows flee,
Brighten Thou my Sunday morning;
With Thy joyous sunshine blest
Happy is my day of rest.
2 Fount of all my joy and peace,
To Thy living waters lead me;
Thou from earth my soul release,
And with grace and mercy feed me;
Bless Thy Word that it may prove
Rich in fruits of faith and love.
3 Kindle Thou the sacrifice
That upon my lips is lying;
Clear the shadows from mine eyes,
That, from every error flying,
No strange fire may in me glow
That Thine altar doth not know.
4 Let me with my heart to-day,
Holy, Holy, Holy, singing,
Wrapt awhile from earth away,
All my soul to Thee upspringing,
Have a foretaste inly given
How they worship Thee in heaven.
5 Rest in me and I in Thee,
Build a paradise within me;
O reveal Thyself to me,
Blessed Love, who diedst to win me;
Fed from Thine exhaustless urn,
Pure and bright my lamp shall burn.
6 Hence all care, all vanity!
For the day to God is holy;
Come, Thou glorious Majesty,
Deign to fill this temple lowly;
Nothing else my soul shall move,
Simply resting in Thy love.

Almighty God, Thy Word is cast
Author: John Cawood Hymnal: ELHW1908 #10 (1908) Lyrics: 1 Almighty God, Thy word is cast
Like seed upon the ground;
O let the dew of heav'n descend,
And shed its influence round.
2 Let not the foe of Christ and man
This holy seed remove;
Make it take root in ev'ry heart,
And grow in faith and love!
3 Let not this life's deceitful cares,
Nor worldly wealth and joy,
Nor scorching beam, nor stormy blast
The rising plant destroy.
4 Where'er the Word of life is sown,
A large increase bestow,
That all who hear Thy message, Lord,
Its saving power may know.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Close of Service; Sexagesima Languages: English Tune Title: MORNINGTON
