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 Languages: English Tune Title: MELITA

Can we know that thou art near us, and wilt hear us? Yea, we can. 3 Yea, we know that thou rejoicest o'er each work of thine; thou didst ears and hands and voices for thy praise design; craftsman's art and music's measure for thy pleasure all combine. 4 In thy house, great God, we offer of thine own to thee; and for thine acceptance proffer all unworthily hearts and minds and hands and voices in our choicest psalmody. 5 Honour, glory, might, and merit thine shall ever be, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, blessèd Trinity. Of the best that thou hast given earth and heaven render thee. Scripture: 1 Kings 8:22-30 Languages: English Tune Title: ANGEL VOICES
