All Beautiful the March of Days

Author: Frances Whitmarsh Wile Hymnal: The Worshipbook #281 (1972) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Civil Year New Year Lyrics: 1 All beautiful the march of days, As seasons come and go; The hand that shaped the rose has wrought The crystal of the snow, Has sent the hoary frost of heaven, The flowing waters sealed, And laid a silent loveliness On hill and wood and field. 2 O'er white expanses sparkling pure The radiant morns unfold; The solemn splendors of the night Burn brighter through the cold. Life mounts in every throbbing vein, Love deepens round the hearth, And clearer sounds the angel hymn, "Good will to men on earth." 3 O God, from whose unfathomed law The year in beauty flows, Yourself the vision passing by In crystal and in rose, Day unto day does utter speech, And night to night proclaim, In ever-changing words of light, The wonder of your name. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 19 Tune Title: FOREST GREEN

What can we do to hasten the time, The time that shall surely be, When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God As the waters cover the sea. 3 March we forth in the strength of God, With the banner of Christ unfurled, That the light of the glorious gospel of truth May shine throughout the world: Fight we the fight with sorrow and sin To set their captives free, That the earth may be filled with the glory of God As the waters cover the sea. 4 All we can do is nothing worth Unless God blesses the deed; Vainly we hope for the harvest-tide Till God gives life to the seed; Yet nearer and nearer draws the time, The time that shall surely be, When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God As the waters cover the sea. Amen. Scripture: Ephesians 1:9-11 Tune Title: PURPOSE
