The God of Abraham praise, who reigns enthroned above; Ancient of Everlasting Days, and God of love; Jehovah, great I AM! by earth and heaven confessed; I bow and bless the sacred name forever blest. 2. The great I AM has sworn; I on this oath depend. I shall, on eagle wings upborne, to heaven ascend. I shall behold God's face; I shall God's power adore, and sing the wonders of God's grace forevermore. 3. The heavenly land I see, with peace and plenty blest; a land of sacred liberty, and endless rest. There milk and honey flow, and oil and wine abound, and trees of life forever grow with mercy crowned. 4. The God who reigns on high the great archangels sing, and "Holy, holy, holy!" cry, "Almighty King! Who was, and is, the same, and evermore shall be: Jehovah, Lord, the great I AM, we worship thee!"

O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, our shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal home! 2.

Before the hills in order stood, or earth received her frame, from everlasting, thou art God, to endless years the same. 4. A thousand ages, in thy sight, are like an evening gone; short as the watch that ends the night, before the rising sun. 5. Time, like an ever rolling stream, bears all who breathe away; they fly forgotten, as a dream dies at the opening day. 6. O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come; be thou our guide while life shall last, and our eternal home. Scripture: Psalm 90 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANNE (Croft)

You leave us free to seek you or reject you, you give us room to answer "yes" or "no." Refrain: Your love, O God, is broad like beach and meadow, wide as the wind, and our eternal home. 2 We long for freedom where our truest being is given hope and courage to unfold. We seek in freedom space and scope for dreaming, and look for ground where trees and plants can grow. [Refrain] 3 But there are walls that keep us all divided; we fence each other in with hate and war. Fear is the bricks and mortar of our prison, our pride of self, the prison coat we wear. [Refrain] 4 O judge us, Lord, and in your judgment free us, and set our feet in freedom's open space; take us as far as your compassion wanders among the children of the human race. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: GUDS KÄRLEK

There is mercy with the Savior; there is healing in his blood. 3 For the love of God is broader than the measure of our mind; and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind. 4 If our love were but more simple, we should rest upon God's word; and our lives would be illumined by the presence of our Lord.

How Can We Name a Love

Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #111 (1989) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Topics: The Glory of the Triune God God's Nature; The Glory of the Triune God God's Nature Lyrics: 1 How can we name a Love that wakens heart and mind, indwelling all we know or think or do or seek or find? Within our daily world, in every human face, Love's echoes sound and God is found, hid in the commonplace. 2 If we awoke to life built on a rock of care that asked no great reward but firm, assured, was simply there, we can, with parents' names, describe, and thus adore, Love unconfined, a father kind, a mother strong and sure. 3 When people share a task, and strength and skills unite in projects old or new, to make or do with shared delight, our Friend and Partner's will is better understood, that all should share, create, and care, and know that life is good. 4 So in a hundred names, each day we all can meet a presence, sensed and shown at work, at home, or in the street. Yet every name we see, shines in a brighter sun: In Christ alone is Love full grown and life and hope begun. Languages: English Tune Title: TERRA BEATA

Let the wicked cease from sinning, evildoers change their mind. On the sinful God has pity; those returning God forgives. This is what the Lord is saying to a world that disbelieves. 2 “Judge me not by human standards! As the vault of heaven soars high above the earth, so higher are my thoughts and ways than yours. See how rain and snow from heaven make earth blossom and bear fruit, giving you, before returning, seed for sowing, bread to eat: 3 “So my Word returns not fruitless; does not from its labors cease till it has achieved my purpose in a world of joy and peace.” God is love! How close the prophet to that vital gospel word! In Isaiah’s inspiration it is Jesus we have heard! Scripture: Isaiah 55:6-11 Languages: English Tune Title: GENEVA
