The earth belongs to God alone

Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #18a (2005) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 The earth belongs to God alone and all that it contains; the world and its inhabitants God's steadfast love maintains. 2 The Lord who brought the world to birth laid earth's foundations sure, and firm within the surging seas established them secure. 3 Who, then, are those who shall ascend the holy hill of God? And who is fit to stand within the presence of the Lord? 4 All those whose hands and hearts are clean, with no room in their mind for worthless vanities or vows of a deceitful kind. 5 These are the people who receive a blessing from the Lord, and vindication for their ways from God, their saving God. 6 O God of Jacob, help us all who gather in this place, to seek your presence with us now: we yearn to see your face.

On Christmas Eve We Celebrate

Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Hymnal: The Song Lingers On #19 (2003) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: On Christmas Eve we celebrate,with friends throughout the earth,the night when angels and a starannounced the Saviorâ€™s birth,when shepherds heard the angel-songsand wise men scanned the skies,and mother Mary rocked her childto hush his tiny cries.We tell these stories once againbeside a Christmas tree,and light a candle for the childon his Nativity.We sing the splendid angel-songs,and ring a Christmas bell;shout â€œMerry Christmasâ€ to our friendsand wish our neighbors well.But, always there are some who findno reason to rejoice.They mourn, and wait in vain to heara loved oneâ€™s long-lost voice.The angel-songs and twinkling lightsremind them of their loss;for them the shiny Christmas treebecomes a barren cross.Still others do not celebratebecause they are alone,by choice or by necessityaway from friends and home.They worry that there is no roomfor lonely folk this night;they long to hear the angel-songsand see the starâ€™s love-light.Incarnate God, make us your handsto wipe away sad tears,your arms to welcome those in need,to calm their anxious fears;your voice to whisper angel-songs,your smile to light their way,until a lonely Christmas Evebecomes glad Christmas Day.

O 'twas a joyful sound to hear

Hymnal: The Hymnal #19 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 O 'twas a joyful sound to hear Our tribes devoutly say, Up, Israel! to the temple haste, And keep your festal day. At Salem's courts we must appear, With our assembled powers, In strong and beauteous order ranged, Like her united towers. 2 O ever pray for Salem's peace; For they shall prosperous be, Thou holy city of our God, Who bear true love to thee. May peace within thy sacred walls A constant guest be found; With plenty and prosperity Thy palaces be crowned. 3 For my dear brethren's sake, and friends' No less than brethren dear, I'll pray, "May peace in Salem's towers A constant guest appear." But most of all I'll seek thy good, And ever wish thee well, For Sion and the temple's sake, Where God vouchsafes to dwell. Amen.

I Sing the Mighty Power of God

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Celebrating Grace Hymnal #19 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 I sing the mighty power of God, that made the mountains rise, that spread the flowing seas abroad, and built the lofty skies. I sing the wisdom that ordained the sun to rule the day; the moon shines full at His command, and all the stars obey. 2 I sing the goodness of the Lord, that filled the earth with food; He formed the creatures with His Word, and then pronounced them good. Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed, where'er I turn my eye, if I survey the ground I tread, or gaze upon the sky! 3 There's not a plant or flower below, but makes Thy glories known; and clouds arise, and tempests blow, by order from Thy throne; while all that borrows life from Thee is ever in Thy care, and everywhere that we can be, Thou, God, art present there.
