rolling in fullest pride,
through the earth far and wide
let there be light. Topics: General Hymns God the Father; Hymns for the Church Year Trinity Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: MOSCOW

eat we manna from above.

Once to every man and nation
Author: James Russell Lowell, 1819-1891 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #435 (2010) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: Joshua 24:14-15 Lyrics: 1 Once to every man and nation
comes the moment to decide,
in the strife of truth with falsehood,
for the good or evil side;
some great cause, God's new Messiah,
offering each the bloom or blight —
and the choice goes by for ever
'twixt that darkness and that light.
2 Then to side with truth is noble,
when we share her wretched crust,
ere her cause bring fame and profit,
and 'tis prosperous to be just;
then it is the brave one chooses,
while the coward stands aside,
till the multitude make virtue
of the faith they had denied.
3 By the light of burning martyrs,
Christ, thy bleeding feet we track
toiling up new Calvaries ever
with the cross that turns not back.
New occasions teach new duties;
time makes ancient good uncouth;
they must upward still and onward
who would keep abreast of truth.
4 Though the cause of evil prosper,
yet 'tis truth alone is strong;
though her portion be the scaffold,
and upon the throne be wrong -
yet that scaffold sways the future,
and, behind the dim unknown,
standeth God within the shadow,
keeping watch above his own. Topics: General Hymns Christian Warfare Languages: English Tune Title: EBENEZER (TON Y BOTEL)

rang through the silence of the shrine.

a lowly heart, that waits
where in thy house thou art,
or watches at thy gates;
ny day and night, a heart that still
moves at the breathing of thy will.

a sweet unmurmuring faith,
obedient and resigned
to thee in life and death;

truths that are hidden from the wise. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Evening Languages: English Tune Title: SAMUEL

The spacious firmament on high
Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #240 (2010) Scripture: Psalm 19:1-6 Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high,
with all the blue ethereal sky,
and spangled heavens, a shining frame,
their great Original proclaim.
The unwearied sun from day to day
does his Creator's power display,
and publishes to every land
the work of an almighty hand.
2 Soon as the evening shades prevail
the moon takes up the wondrous tale,
and nightly to the listening earth
repeats the story of her birth:
whilst all the stars that round her burn,
and all the planets in their turn,
confirm the tidings, as they roll,
and spread the truth from pole to pole.
3 What though in solemn silence all
move round the dark terrestrial ball?
What though nor real voice nor sound
amid their radiant orbs be found?
In reason's ear they all rejoice,
and utter forth a glorious voice;
for ever singing as they shine,
'The hand that made us is divine.' Topics: General Hymns God the Father Languages: English Tune Title: CREATION

one moment will not linger,
but, spite of hell, shall have its course;
