God is our strength and refuge
Author: Richard Bewes (b. 1934) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #645 (2013) Meter: 7.7.7.5.7.7.11 Topics: Change Lyrics: 1 God is our strength and refuge,
our present help in trouble;
and we therefore will not fear,
though the earth should change!
Though mountains shake and tremble,
though swirling floods are raging,
God the Lord of hosts
is with us evermore!
2 There is a flowing river,
within God's holy city;
God is in the midst of her —
she shall not be moved!
God's help is swiftly given,
thrones vanish at his presence —
God the Lord of hosts
is with us evermore!
3 Come, see the works of our maker,
learn of his deeds all-powerful:
wars will cease across the world
when he shatters the spear!
Be still and know your creator,
uplift him in the nations —
God the Lord of hosts
is with us evermore! Scripture: Psalm 46 Languages: English Tune Title: DAMBUSTERS' MARCH
God is our strength and refuge
All My Hope on God Is Founded
Author: Joachim Neander; Robert Bridges Hymnal: Voices United #655 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.3.3.7 Topics: Change Lyrics: 1 All my hope on God is founded;
who doth still my trust renew:
I through change and chance am guided,
only good and only true.
God unknown,
God alone
calls my heart eternally home.
2 Human pride and earthly glory,
sword and crown, betray our trust;
what with care and toil is built up,
tower and temple, fall to dust.
But God's power,
hour by hour,
is my temple and my tower.
3 Daily doth the almighty giver
bounteous gifts on us bestow.
God's desire our soul delighteth,
pleasure leads us where we go.
Love doth stand
hand in hand;
joy doth wait on God's command.
4 God's great goodness eye endureth,
deepest wisdom, passing thought:
splendour, light and life attending,
beauty springeth out of naught.
Evermore
from God's store
new-born worlds rise and adore. Tune Title: MICHAEL
All My Hope on God Is Founded
Deep in the Shadows of the Past
Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #64 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Change Lyrics: 1 Deep in the shadows of the past,
far out from settled lands,
some nomads traveled with their God
across the desert sands.
The dawning hope of humankind
by them was sensed and shown:
a promise calling them ahead,
a future yet unknown.
2 While others bowed to changeless gods
they met a mystery,
invisible, without a name:
"I AM WHAT I WILL BE";
and by their tents, around their fires
in story, song, and law,
they praised, remembered, handed on
a past that promised more.
3 From Exodus to Pentecost
the promise changed and grew,
while some, remembering the past,
recorded what they knew,
or with their letters and laments,
their prophecy and praise,
recovered, kindled, and expressed
new hope for changing days.
4 For all the writings that survived,
for leaders long ago
who sifted, copied, and preserved
the Bible that we know,
give thanks, and find its story yet
our promise, strength, and call,
the model of emerging faith,
alive with hope for all. Scripture: 1 Timothy 4:13 Languages: English Tune Title: SHEPHERDS' PIPES
Deep in the Shadows of the Past
A race on earth, a race we run
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #147 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Change and progression Lyrics:
A race on earth, a race we run,
And bold a prize in view,
More bright than if we chased the sun
Through heaven's eternal blue.
151
Changes we prove, and vanish soon,--
Changes from youth to age,--
Transient as those that shape the moon
On her brief pilgrimage.
Like constellations on their way,
That meet the morning light,
We travel up to higher day,
We pass through deeper night.
Their tasks the heavenly hosts fulfil,
Ere long to shine their last;
We, if we do our Father's will,
Shall shine when they are past.
Knit like the social stars in love,
Fair as the moon, and clear
As yonder sun, enthroned above,
Christians through life appear,
Languages: English
A race on earth, a race we run

the spring has come,
new people are the flowers of it! Tune Title: VERVACITY

Beyond all mortal praise
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #599 (2013) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Topics: Change Lyrics: 1 Beyond all mortal praise
God's name be ever blest,
unsearchable his ways,
his glory manifest;
from his high throne
in power and might
by wisdom's light
he rules alone.
2 Our times are in his hand
to whom all flesh is grass,
while as their Maker planned
the changing seasons pass.
He orders all:
before his eyes
earth's empires rise,
her kingdoms fall.
3 He gives to humankind,
dividing as he will,
all powers of heart and mind,
of spirit, strength and skill:
nor dark nor night
but must lay bare
its secrets, where
he dwells in light.
4 To God the only Lord,
our fathers' God, be praise;
his holy name adored
through everlasting days.
His mercies trace
in answered prayer,
in love and care,
and gifts of grace. Scripture: Daniel 2:20-23 Languages: English Tune Title: MARLBOROUGH GATE

receive the grace that only God can give —

all perfect gifts are sent us from above —

when death shall die and sin be done away:
then comes our God so everyone shall see —
let all the bells ring out in victory! Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:54-57 Languages: English Tune Title: WOODLANDS
