As Powers of Good
Author: Alan Gaunt (1935-) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #265 (1998) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Scripture: Luke 12:22-34 First Line: As powers of good so wonderfully hide us Lyrics: 1 As powers of good so wonderfully hide us,
we face the future boldly, come what may;
at dawn or dusk our God is still beside us,
to whom we trust, completely, each new day.
2 Yet still old torments cause us consternation;
through days of fear and grief we have despaired;
O, give our tortured souls, Lord, your salvation:
the healing you have promised and prepared.
3 Then offer us the cup of desolation,
brimfull of bitterness, and we will stand
and drink with thanks, in spite of trepidation,
from such a dearly loved and gracious hand.
4 Yet should you bring us back to share the gladness
of this bright world, your sunshine breaking through,
we would remember times of pain and sadness
and offer up the whole of life to you.
5 As evening falls, the candles we have lighted
will point us through the darkness to your light;
we long to be with loved ones, reunited;
we know your love outshines the darkest night.
6 As silence deepens, let us hear the chorus
that harmonizes earth's discordant days,
poured out from the unseen that lies before us:
your children's soaring song of endless praise.
7 By powers of good so faithfully surrounded,
secure and comforted in spite of fear,
we live each day with you Lord, unconfounded,
and go with you to meet the coming year. Topics: New Year Languages: English Tune Title: BONHOEFFER
As Powers of Good
Flowers grow in sweet societies
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #277 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Luke 12:24-27 Lyrics:
Flowers grow in sweet societies,
O'er meadow, hill, and dale;
Mingle their colours to our eyes,
Their perfumes in the gale.
296
Sprung from the dust, they rise above
The meanness of their birth;
They look to heaven, and yet they love
To beautify the earth.
Not birds more duly build and sing,
Nor stars in turn appear,
Than these their splendid legions bring,
To crown and close the year.
They toil not, neither do they spin,
And yet their Maker's will,
Exempt from sorrow, as from sin,
They live but to fulfil.
Ah! thus might He that made us see
Our Sabbath Schools increase;
And while we dwell in unity,
In Him may we have peace;--
Like flowers from Him receive, dispense
The fragrance of His grace;
And when, like flowers, transplanted hence,
May fairer fill our place.

I Must Not Make This World My Home

For it shall soon be left behind;
And when the parting day has come,
What sort of future will I find?
Refrain 1-2:
I’ll set my sails for heaven’s shore,
And flee from every earthly snare,
So when this changeful life is o’er,
I’ll find a “welcome home” up there.
2 I will not sell my soul for dross,
For fleeting honors I’ll not strain,
Though all the world shall be my loss,
I’ve all of heaven as my gain. [Refrain]
3 If you are eating earthly leav’n,
The life you live will surely tell—
Unless you make your home in heav’n,
You’ll find your home for aye in hell.
Refrain 3:
So set your sails for heaven’s shore,
And flee from every earthly snare,
So when this changeful life is o’er,
You’ll find a “welcome home” up there. Topics: Carefulness Tune Title: [I must not make this world my home]
