Lord, the heavens declare thy glory
Church of God, Elect and Glorious
Author: James E. Seddon, 1915-1983 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Church of God, elect and glorious,
holy nation, chosen race;
called as God's own special people,
royal priests and heirs of grace:
know the purpose of your calling,
show to all God's mighty deeds;
tell of love which knows no limits,
grace which meets all human needs.
2 God has called you out of darkness
into his most marv'lous light,
brought his truth to life within you,
turned your blindness into sight.
Let your light so shine around you
that God's name is glorified;
and all find fresh hope and purpose
in Christ Jesus crucified.
3 Once you were an alien people,
strangers to God's heart of love;
but he brought you home in mercy,
citizens of heav'n above.
Let his love flow out to others,
let them feel a Father's care;
that they too may know his welcome
and his countless blessings share.
4 Church of God, elect and holy,
be the people he intends;
strong in faith and swift to answer
each command your master sends:
royal priests, fulfill your calling
through your sacrifice and prayer;
give your lives in joyful service,
sing his praise, his love declare.

Lord, Through All the Generations
Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, through all the generations
Of the children of our race,
In our fears and tribulations,
Thou hast been our dwelling-place.
Ere the vast and wide creation
By Thy word was cased to be,
Or the mountains held their station,
Thou art God eternally.
2 Each succeeding generation
At Thy mighty word appears;
Thou dost count in time's duration
One day as a thousand years.
Death, with swift and sudden warning,
Calls us from life's dream away,
Like the grass, green in the morning,
Withered ere the close of day.
3 Long the clouds of evil lower;
Bless us now with gladsome days;
Let Thy servants see Thy power,
Let their children learn Thy praise.
On us let the grace and beauty
Of the Lord our God remain,
Strengthen us for noble duty
That our work be not in vain. Topics: Brevity And Frailty Of Life; Creation; Day Of Prayer; Death; Eternity of God; Funerals; Good Works; Immutability of God; Labor; New Year; Old Year; Christian Work Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: EMMELAR (RICHARDS)

What a Friend We Have in Jesus
Author: Joseph M. Scriven, 1819-1866 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,710 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer!
Oh what peace we often forfeit,
Oh what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer!
2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged–
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
Can we find a friend so faithful,
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness–
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
3 Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge–
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He'll take and shield thee–
Thou wilt find a solace there. Topics: Conflict; Devotional; God His Faithfulness; God Love and Mercy; Jesus Christ His Love and Mercy Scripture: Romans 12:12 Used With Tune: ANNIE LOWERY
