O Lord, You Are My God and King (Psalm 145)

Hymnal: Glory to God #270 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Care of Creation First Line: O Lord, you are my God and King Lyrics: 1 O Lord, you are my God and King, and I will ever bless your name; I will extol you every day, and evermore your praise proclaim. You, Lord, are greatly to be praised; your greatness is beyond our thought; all generations shall tell forth the mighty wonders you have wrought. 2 How rich in grace are you, O Lord, full of compassion, merciful, your anger always slow to rise; your steadfast love you show to all, for you are good in all your ways; your creatures know your constant care. To all your works your love extends; all souls your tender mercies share. 3 Your works will give you thanks, O Lord; your saints your mighty acts will show, till all the peoples of the earth your kingdom, power, glory know. Eternal is your kingdom, Lord, forever strong, forever sure; while generations rise and die, your high dominion will endure. Scripture: Psalm 145 Languages: English Tune Title: JERUSALEM

God Is Unique And One

Author: Fred Kaan Hymnal: Voices United #277 (1996) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Topics: God Care Lyrics: 1 God is unique and one: Maker, Sustainer, Lord! Patterns of life were spun by that creative word. Of God's intention, love and care we are with growing trust aware. 2 Love came to earth in Christ, our common life to share, choosing to be the least, willing a cross to bear. He died, he rose, that we might live and all our love, responding, give. 3 The Holy Spirit moves people to trace God's plan; such inspiration proves more than the mind can span. Each listening heart is led to find the will of God for humankind. 4 God shall forever reign, ruler of time and space; there, in the midst of life, seen in the human face. We give expression to our creed by love in thought, in word and deed. Tune Title: LITTLE CORNARD

Not Only Acts of Evil Will

Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Worship in Song #289 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: God's Care Lyrics: 1 Not only acts of evil will, But bland routine and good intent, Can hurt and harass, starve and kill The outcast and the innocent. In such a world, and in God's name, We seek a gospel to proclaim. 2 Our normal, ordinary ways Of doing business, getting more, Entrap the poorest in a maze Of hunger, debt, disease, and war. In Christ we would make good our claim, And find a gospel to proclaim. 3 The heart that's given to the Lord Will pray and work to understand The ills that sabotage the good In trade and credit, wealth and land, And will not turn aside its aim, A smaller gospel to proclaim. 4 The beauty, bondage, joy and fear of every billionth being born are always in God’s eye and ear, as near as breath, as sharp as thorn, and we are born again to share that fierce, impassioned, healing care. 5 And so, in Christ, we drink our fill of daring, deep, determined love, and practice to unite the skill of wily snake and peaceful dove, as, loving earth in Jesus’ name, we live the gospel we proclaim.

Author: Georg Neumark, 1621-1681; Catherine Winkworth, 1829-1878 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #304 (1957) Topics: God the Father His Care and Guidance Lyrics: 1 If thou but suffer God to guide thee, And hope in Him through all thy ways, He'll give thee strength whate'er betide thee, And bear the through the evil days; Who trusts in God's unchanging love Builds on the rock that nought can move. 2 Be patient and await His leisure In cheerful hope, with heart content, To take whate'er thy Father's pleasure And His discerning love hath sent; Nor doubt our inmost wants are known To Him who chose us for His own. 3 He knows the time for joy, and, truly Will send it when He sees it meet; When He has tried and purged thee duly And finds thee free from all deceit. He comes to thee all unaware And makes thee own His loving care. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: NEUMARK (BREMEN)
