the cross of Christ your King. [Refrain]

Holy book and pilgrim track;
Hurling floods of tyrant wrong
From the sacred limits back—

Love of God, unspent and free,
Flow still in the prophet’s word,
And the people’s liberty!

Sometimes a Light Surprises
Author: William Cowper Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 407 hymnals Topics: Music and the Arts Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises
the child of God who sings;
it is the Lord who rises
with healing in his wings;
when comforts are declining,
he grants the soul again
a season of clear shining
to cheer it after rain.
2 In holy contemplation
we sweetly then pursue
the theme of God’s salvation
and find it ever new;
set free from present sorrow,
we cheerfully can say,
“Let the unknown tomorrow
bring with it what it may.”
3 It can bring with it nothing
but he will bear us through;
who gives the lilies clothing
will clothe his people, too;
beneath the spreading heavens
no creature but is fed;
and he who feeds the ravens
will give his children bread.
4 Though vine nor fig tree neither
their longed-for fruit should bear,
though all the fields should wither,
nor flocks nor herds be there,
yet God the same abiding,
his praise shall tune my voice;
for while in him confiding,
I cannot but rejoice.
Scripture: 2 Samuel 23:4-5 Used With Tune: SALLEY GARDENS

declares your glory — flower and tree,
the evening sky and torrent's sound
and mountain stream and rolling sea.
Yet all this beauty cannot show
a God whom we can truly know.
2 Composer God, all music sings
your power, your praise, your majesty:
in drum and trumpet, flute and strings,
in choir and song and symphony.
Yet music which inspires our praise
can never fathom all your ways.
3 Designer God, in shape and form
the beauty you inspire is shown;
in line and colour, etched or drawn,
in sculpture, painting, glass and stone.
Yet all these talents can't express
the full truth of your loveliness.
4 Mysterious God, though all the arts
of nature and of human skill
may move us, yet our longing hearts
are never satisfied until
in Jesus Christ you show your face:
a God of love and truth and grace. Scripture: John 1:18 Used With Tune: MELITA

In praise of God meet duty and delight
Author: Erik Reginald Routley, 1917-82 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Art and Learning; Confidence; Cross; Festal Joy; Glory of God; Grace; Grief; Music; Our Gifts to God; People of God; Resurrection; Worship Earthly and Heavenly Lyrics: 1 In praise of God meet duty and delight,
creatures of earth and heavenly spirits blest:
in praise is earth transfigured by the sound
and sight of Heaven's everlasting feast.
2 In praise meet those with skill in art and crafts,
inspired, obedient, patient, practical;
in praise join instrument and voice and mind
to make one music for the Lord of all.
3 The desert is refreshed by songs of praise,
relaxed the frown of pride, the stress of grief;
in praise forgotten all our human spite;
in praise the burdened heart finds sure relief.
4 No skill of ours, no music made on earth,
no mortal song could scale the height of heaven;
yet stands the cross, through grace ineffable
an instrument of praise to sinners given.
5 So, confident and festive, let us sing
of wisdom, power and mercy there made known:
the song of Moses and the Lamb be ours,
through Christ raised up to life in God alone. Scripture: Colossians 3:16-17 Used With Tune: CLIFF TOWN
In praise of God meet duty and delight
