Sing for God's glory that colours the dawn of creation
Children of God, reach out to one another!
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Our Response to God in the worship of God's house Lyrics: 1 Children of God, reach out to one another!
Where pity dwells, the peace of God is there;
to worship rightly is to love each other,
each smile a hymn, each kindly deed a prayer.
2 For he whom Jesus loved has truly spoken:
the holier worship which God deigns to bless
restores the lost, and binds the spirit broken,
and feeds the widow and the fatherless.
3 Follow with reverent steps the great example
of him whose holy work was doing good;
so shall the wide earth seem our Father's temple,
each loving life a psalm of gratitude.
4 Then shall all shackles fall; the stormy clangour
of wild war music o'er the earth shall cease;
love shall tread out the baleful fire of anger,
and in its ashes plant the tree of peace. Scripture: 1 John 3:18 Used With Tune: INTERCESSOR
Children of God, reach out to one another!

Whate'er the gift may be;
All that we have is Thine alone,
A trust, O Lord, from Thee.
2 May we Thy bounties thus
As stewards true receive,
And gladly as Thou blessest us,
To Thee our first-fruits give.
3 O, hearts are bruised and dead,
And homes are bare and cold,
And lambs for whom the Shepherd bled
Are straying from the fold!
4 To comfort and to bless,
To find a balm for woe,
To tend the lone and fatherless
Is angels' work below.
5 The captive to release
To God the lost to bring,
To teach the way of life and peace,
It is a Christ-like thing.
6 And we believe Thy word,
Though dim our faith may be;
Whate'er we do for Thine, O Lord,
We do it unto Thee. Used With Tune: GARDEN CITY
We give Thee but Thine own
God is working his purpose out, as year succeeds to year
Author: Arthur Campbell Ainger (1841-1919) Meter: Irregular Appears in 94 hymnals Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in times and seasons Lyrics: 1 God is working his purpose out as year succeeds to year:
God is working his purpose out, and the time is drawing near;
nearer and nearer draws the time the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
2 From farthest east to farthest west, where human feet have trod,
by the voice of many messengers goes forth the voice of God:
'Give ear to me, you continents, you islands give ear to me,
that earth may be filled with the glory of God,
as the waters cover the sea.'
3 Let us go forth in the strength of God, with the banner of Christ unfurled,
that the light of the glorious gospel of truth may shine throughout the world:
let us all fight with sorrow and sin, to set their captives free,
that earth may be filled with the glory of God,
as the waters cover the sea.
4 All that we do can have no worth, unless God bless the deed;
vainly we hope for the harvest-tide, till God gives life to the seed;
yet nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea. Scripture: 1 Peter 3:12 Used With Tune: BENSON
