Again We Meet

Is not our life with hourly mercies crowned? Does not Thine arm encircle us around? 3 Alas! unworthy of Thy boundless love, Too oft with careless feet from Thee we rove; But now encouraged by Thy voice, we come, Returning sinners, to a Father's home. Amen. 4 O by that name in which all fullness dwells, O by that love which ev'ry love excels, O by that blood so freely shed for sin, Open blest Mercy's gate, and take us in. Amen.

Melt the clouds of sin and sadness, drive our fear and doubt away; giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day. 2 All your works with joy surround you, earth and heaven reflect your rays, stars and angels sing around you, center of unbroken praise. Field and forest, vale and mountain, flowery meadow, flashing sea, chanting bird and flowing fountain, sound their praise eternally. 3 You are giving and forgiving, ever blessing, ever blest, wellspring of the joy of living, ocean depth of happy rest! Source of grace and fount of blessing, let your light upon us shine; teach us how to love each other, lift us to the joy divine. 4 Mortals, join the mighty chorus which the morning stars began; God's own love is reigning o'er us, joining people hand in hand. Ever singing, march we onward, victors in the midst of strife; joyful music lifts us sunward in the triumph song of life. Tune Title: HYMN TO JOY

Day Is Breaking, Night Is Ended

Author: Casper Johannes Boye Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #24 (1927) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: Opening Hymns Lyrics: 1 Day is breaking, night is ended, And the Lord's day hath ascended Over church and countryside; As this day of grace increases, Light from God the heart appeases, Heaven’s portal opens wide, Heaven's portal opens wide. 2 Oh, what joy this day is bringing, When the solemn bells are ringing, Calling men to pray'r and praise; All the angel host rejoices, And with gladsome, mellow voices Praises God for light and grace, Praises God for light and grace. 3 Sin and death, with fear and sorrow, And the burden of the morrow Shall not fill my heart with care; Unto all in tribulation Doth the Lord who wrought salvation, On this day His peace declare, On this day His peace declare. 4 Be it hushed in solemn stillness, Must I weep in grief and illness And confess my sin and shame, It is blessed to be weeping, When the yearning heart is reaping Grace and peace in Jesus’ name. 5 Oh, Thou Fount of grace unbounded, Who the wise men hast confounded, Whom but faith can comprehend, In Thy love my soul reposes, Heaven’s portal never closes, Till before Thy throne I stand.
