How Lovely, Lord, How Lovely

Author: Arlo D. Duba, 1929- Hymnal: Worship and Rejoice #545 (2003) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 How lovely, Lord, how lovely is your abiding place; my soul is longing, fainting, to feast upon your grace. The sparrow finds a shelter, a place to build her nest; and so your temple calls us within its walls to rest. 2 In your blest courts to worship, O God, a single day is better than a thousand if I from you should stray. I'd rather keep the entrance and claim you as my Lord than revel in the riches The ways of sin afford. 3 A sun and shield forever are you, O Lord Most High; you shower us with blessings; no good will you deny. The saints, your grace receiving, from strength to strength shall go, and from their life shall rivers of blessing overflow. Scripture: Psalm 42:1-4 Languages: English Tune Title: MERLE'S TUNE

Blessed Be the God of Israel

Before him goes the herald, forerunner in the way, the prophet of salvation, the harbinger of day. 3 On all by death imprisoned the sun begins to rise, the dawning of forgiveness upon the sinner’s eyes, to guide the feet of pilgrims along the paths of peace; oh, bless our God and Savior with songs that never cease!

The World Is Full of Stories

Author: Alan Gaunt, 1935- Hymnal: Worship and Rejoice #558 (2003) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 The world is full of stories, of stories that have passed to us along the ages; great stories that still last, to tell of human feelings drawn deep from heart and mind, more true than fact: their meaning the surest we can find. 2 The world is full of stories, new stories people tell, and young and old come under the storyteller's spell which stirs imagination and opens wide our eyes to duty and conviction, to wonder and surprise. 3 The world is full of stories that capture and enthral; but joyful faith discovers that one transcends them all: God's love as told in Jesus, who shared our life on earth, and human recreation beginning at his birth. 4 It tells us of the anguish God's love was bound to bear, to conquer death and evil and fathom our despair. As we repeat the story, hope comes to life and thrives, to make the love of Jesus the story of our lives. Scripture: Acts 24:10-21 Languages: English Tune Title: MERLE'S TUNE
