All Things Are Thine
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 92 hymnals Scripture: 1 Kings 8:22-30 First Line: All things are thine; no gift have we Lyrics: 1 All things are thine; no gift have we,
Lord of all gifts, to offer thee;
and so with grateful hearts today
thine own before thy feet we lay.
Thy will was informed builders' thought;
thy hand unseen amidst us wrought;
through mortal motive, scheme, and plan,
thy wise eternal purpose ran.
2 No lack thy perfect fullness knew;
for human needs and longings grew
this house of prayer, this home of rest,
where grace is shared and truth addressed.
In weakness and in want, we call
on thee for whom the heavens are small;
thy glory is thy children's good,
thy joy fulfilled in servanthood.
3 All things are thine; no gift have we,
Lord of all gifts, to offer thee;
and so with grateful hearts today
thine own before thy feet we lay.
Come now and deign these walls to bless;
fill with thy love their emptiness;
and let their door a gateway be
to lead us from ourselves to thee. Topics: Aniversary of Parish/Church; Church Used With Tune: YE BANKS AND BRAES (CANDLER)
All Things Are Thine
We Come Unto Our Fathers' God
Author: Thomas H. Gill Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 78 hymnals Scripture: 1 Kings 8:57 Lyrics: 1 We come unto our fathers' God,
Their Rock is our salvation;
Th' eternal arms, their dear abode,
We make our habitation.
We bring Thee, Lord, the praise they brought,
We seek Thee as Thy saints have sought
In every generation.
2 Their joy unto their Lord we bring,
Their song to us descendeth;
The Spirit who in them did sing
To us His music lendeth:
His song in them, in us, is one;
We raise it high, we send it on—
The song that never endeth.
3 Ye saints to come, take up the strain,
The same sweet theme endeavor;
Unbroken be the golden chain!
Keep on the song forever!
Safe in the same dear dwelling place,
Rich with the same eternal grace,
Bless the same boundless Giver.
Amen. Topics: Worship Adoration and Praise; Adoration and Praise; Communion of Saints; Heritage; Opening of Worship; Patriotism; Processionals; Saints Used With Tune: NUN FREUT EUCH

The Condescension of God
Appears in 57 hymnals Scripture: 1 Kings 8:27 First Line: Eternal pow'r, almighty God Lyrics:
I. Eternal pow'r, almighty God,
Who can approach thy throne?
Accessless light is thy abode,
To angel-eyes unknown.
II. Before the radiance of thine eye
The heav'ns no longer shine,
And all the glories of the sky
Are but the shade of thine.
III. Great God, and wilt thou condescend
To cast a look below,
To this vile world thy notice bend,
These seats of sin and woe?
IV. But oh! to shew thy smiling face,
To bring thy glories near—
Amazing and transporting grace
To dwell with mortals here!
V. How strange! how awful is thy love!
With trembling we adore:
Not all th' exalted minds above
Its wonders can explore.
VI. While golden harps, and angel tongues
Resound immortal lays,
Great God, permit our humble songs
To rise and mean thy praise.

God Has Spoken by the Prophets
Author: George W. Briggs, 1875-1959 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 52 hymnals Scripture: 1 Kings 8:20 Lyrics: 1 God has spoken by the prophets,
spoken the unchanging Word,
each from age to age proclaiming
God, the one, the righteous Lord!
'Mid the world's despair and turmoil
one firm anchor holding fast:
God eternal reigns forever,
God the first and God the last.
2 God has spoken by Christ Jesus,
Christ, the everlasting Son,
brightness of the Father's glory,
with the Father ever one;
spoken by the Word incarnate,
God of God, ere time was born;
Light of light, to earth descending,
Christ, as God in human form.
3 God is speaking by the Spirit,
speaking to our hearts again;
in the age-long Word declaring
God's own message, now as then.
Through the rise and fall of nations
one sure faith yet standing fast:
God abides, the Word unchanging,
God the first and God the last.

and outward things are strong,
do thou, O Lord, keep watch within,
and save my soul from wrong.

Unto each waiting heart;

In love now given!

Glad hearts to Thee we bring,
Till we our God and King
Shall praise in heaven!
