Ancient of Days, who sittest throned in glory
Author: William Croswell Doane, 1832 -1913 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #137 (1958) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Church Life and Work City, Nation, World Lyrics: 1 Ancient of Days, who sittest throned in glory,
To thee all knees are bent, all voices pray;
Thy love has blessed the wide world’s wondrous story
With light and life since Eden’s dawning day.
2 O Holy Father, who hast led thy children
In all the ages with the fire and cloud
Through seas dry-shod, through weary wastes bewildering:
To thee, in reverent love, our hearts are bowed. A-men.
3 O holy Jesus, Prince of Peace and Saviour,
To thee we owe the peace that still prevails;
Stilling the rude wills of men’s wild behavior
And calming passion’s fierce and stormy gales.
4 O Holy Ghost, the Lord and the Life-giver,
Thine is the quickening power that gives increase;
From thee have flowed, as from a pleasant river,
Our plenty, wealth, prosperity and peace.
5 O Triune God, with heart and voice adoring,
Praise we the goodness that doth crown our days;
Pray we that thou wilt hear us, still imploring
Thy love and favor, kept to us always.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ANCIENT OF DAYS

Before Jehovah's aweful throne
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748; John Wesley, 1703 - 91 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #161 (1958) Topics: Church Life and Work City, Nation, World Lyrics: 1 Before Jehovah's aweful throne,
Ye nations bow with sacred joy:
Know that the Lord is God alone,
He can create, and he destroy.
2 His sovereign power, without our aid,
Made us of clay, and formed us men;
And when like wandering sheep we strayed,
He brought us to his fold again.
3 We are his people, we his care,
Our souls and all our mortal frame:
What lasting honors shall we rear,
Almighty Maker, to thy Name?
4 We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs,
High as the heavens our voices raise,
And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise.
5 Wide as the world is thy command,
Vast as eternity thy love;
Firm as a rock thy truth shall stand,
When rolling years shall cease to move. Scripture: Psalm 100 Languages: English Tune Title: OLD HUNDREDTH
Before Jehovah's aweful throne
O God, our help in ages past
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #168a (1958) Topics: Church Life and Work City, Nation, World Lyrics: 1 O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home:
2 Under the shadow of thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is thine arm alone,
And our defence is sure. A-men.
3 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 its sons 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 troubles last,
And our eternal home!
Amen.
Scripture: Psalm 90 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANNE
O God, our help in ages past
