Yes, we know that thou art near us, and wilt hear us constantly. 3 Yea, we know that thou rejoicest o'er each work of thine; thou didst ears and hands and voices for thy praise design; craftsman's art and music's measure for thy pleasure all combine. 4 In thy house, great God, we offer of thine own to thee; and for thine acceptance proffer all unworthily, hearts and minds and hands and voices in our choicest psalmody. 5 Honour, glory, might and merit thine shall ever be, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, blessèd Trinity. Of the best that thou hast given earth and heaven render thee. Scripture: Daniel 7:10 Used With Tune: ANGEL VOICES

O sing of God's grace, whose robe is the light; whose canopy space; whose chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, and broad is God's path on the wings of the storm. 3 The earth with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, your power has founded of old; has stablished it fast by a changeless decree, and round it has cast, like a mantle, the sea. 4 Your bountiful care what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light; it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, in you do we trust, nor find you to fail; your mercies how tender, how firm to the end, our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.

Author: Samuel John Stone Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 885 hymnals Topics: Epiphany 2 Year C; Lent 4 Year C Lyrics: 1 The Church's one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord; she is his new creation by water and the word: from heaven he came and sought her to be his holy bride; with his own blood he bought her, and for her life he died. 2 Elect from every nation, yet one o'er all the earth, her charter of salvation, one Lord, one faith, one birth; one holy name she blesses, partakes one holy food, and to one hope she presses, with every grace endued. 3 'Mid toil and tribulation, and tumult of her war she waits the consummation of peace for evermore; till with the vision glorious her longing eyes are blessed, and the great Church victorious shall be the Church at rest. 4 Yet she on earth hath union with God, the Three in one, and mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won. O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we like them, the meek and lowly, on high may dwell with thee. Used With Tune: AURELIA
