O God, Accept Your People's Praise

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Hymnal: NHOH #171 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D First Line: O God, accept your people's praise Lyrics: 1 O God, accept your people's praise, creation's King and Lord, the Father of eternal days by angel hosts adored; your high and holy Name they hymn, to whom all praise belongs, while cherubim and seraphim unite in ceaseless songs. 2 Your glorious praise apostles sing, the prophets tell your worth, the martyrs honor heaven's King as God in Christ on earth: our God, whose arms are open wide, your true and only Son, and Spirit, advocate and guide, eternal Three-in-One. 3 O Christ, you once in mercy came, a virgin's child to be, the Son of God in human frame to set your people free; to conquer death, to draw its sting, and at the last to come, ascended Savior, Judge and King, to lead your people home. 4 Your blessing rest on us, we pray, with mercies from above, uphold and govern us this day in righteousness and love; for those whose hopes on God are set shall not be put to shame: the Lord himself is with us yet, exalt his holy Name!

O God the Holy Spirit

Author: David L. Ward Hymnal: NHOH #172 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: O God the Holy Spirit, eternal one of three, my comforter and teacher, be merciful to me. You hovered over chaos the land and sea to part so manifest your power to calm my restless heart. O God the Holy Spirit, direct me to the cross where I can see the suff'ring my waywardness has cost. In Jesus' death please show me the power of my sin and by his life convince me this battle he will win. O God the Holy Spirit, put Jesus on display: remind me how my Savior took all my guilt away. My sins were all forgiven and satisfaction made; atonement was completed, my captive soul was saved. O God the Holy spirit, come deepen and impart these saving, loving lessons upon my desp'rate heart that I might loathe my evil and flee from Satan's snares then run to my Redeemer and cast on him my cares.

On Eden's Primal Day

Author: John Thornburg Hymnal: NHOH #175 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 On Eden's primal day when everything was new, we humans heard the sound of birds and sensed what we must do. We, too, began to sing our own melodic phrase. Like larks at dawn we sang a song to give our Maker praise. 2 But soon we found a way to play expressive tunes on drums of skin and pipes of tin, with flutes of green bamboo. Then some, with wondrous skill, combined these tones en masse. In organ sound our God is found when air, through pipes, is passed. 3 Renew our praise, O God, within this hallowed space. May everything we pray and sing be mirrors of your grace. Revive our cautious hearts, embolden all we do, inflate our nerve, send us to serve to give our thanks to You.

On This Good Earth

Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: NHOH #177 Meter: Irregular First Line: On this good earth, God's generous creation Lyrics: On this good earth, God's generous creation, all people have the right to live and share, and when our footprint marks a mindful measure, one step is taken for the world's repair. In this good earth that crumbles in our fingers we plant the food for more than present need: the health and hope of future generations lies in our care of water, air and seed. On this good earth where famine stalks the hungry, where drought is death and starving creatures cry, we pray to God for will to use more wisely the power we wield, when all of life might die. On this good earth that pulses with life's rhythm, we pray for greening of another spring, and learn the cost of wasting God's abundance when we are careless of its nourishing. From every land, let voices rise in worship to thank our God for marvels given birth, the gifts of life in bounty and in beauty, our privilege to care for this good earth.

Our Common Home, This Planet Earth

Author: Barbara Hamm Hymnal: NHOH #180 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Our common home, this planet earth, requires our common care. This gift of God is meant for all to use, protect and share. The earth supports a web of life in which we take our place; its food and water, air and light sustain the human race. 2 But now the earth is in distress from our pursuit of gain. If we consume our planet home, what profit will remain? If we ask more than earth can give and use more than we need, our common future is at risk, endangered by our greed. 3 What we do now affects the earth beyond the present day. Concern for those who follow us can help us find our way. God, help us bend our common will to right our common wrong that ages hence may sing your praise for earth, restored and strong.
