God, Who Made the Earth and Heaven

Author: Reginald Heber; Frederick Lucian Hosmer Hymnal: WSH1972 #404 (1972) Lyrics: 1 God, who made the earth and heaven, Darkness and light, Who the day for toil has given, For rest the night, May your loving care defend us, Slumber sweet your mercy send us; Holy dreams and hopes attend us, This livelong night. 2 When the constant sun returning Unseals our eyes, May we, reborn like the morning, To labor rise; Gird us for the tasks that call us, Let not ease and self enthrall us. Make us strong whate'er befall us, O God most wise! Amen. Topics: Acts of the Church Witness to the Resurrection—Funeral; Civil Year Labor Day Scripture: Acts 14:15

God's Word Is like a Flaming Sword

Author: Carl Bernhard Garve; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878 Hymnal: WSH1972 #405 (1972) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. God’s word is like a flaming sword, A wedge that cleaves the stone; Keen as a fire, so burns his word, And pierces flesh and bone. Let it go forth o’er all the earth To cleanse our hearts within, To show God’s power in Satan’s hour And break the might of sin. 2. God’s word, a wondrous guiding star, On pilgrim hearts does rise, Leads those to God who dwell afar, And makes the simple wise. Let not its light e’er sink in night, But in each spirit shine, That none may miss heaven’s final bliss, Led by God’s light divine. Amen.
