Divine Providence in Air, Earth and Sea; or, The God of Nature and Grace

Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #118 (1787) Topics: Providence in air, earth, and sea; Providence in air, earth, and sea First Line: The God of our Salvation hears Lyrics: 1 The God of our Salvation hears The groans of Sion mix'd with tears; Yet when he comes with kind designs, Through all the way his terror shines. 2 On him the race of man depends, Far as the earth's remotest ends, Where the Creator's name is known By nature's feeble light alone. 3 Sailors that travel o'er the flood, Address their frighted souls to God, When tempests rage and Billows roar At dreadful distance from the shore. 4 He bids the noisy tempest cease; He calms the raging crowd to peace, When a tumultuous nation raves, Wild as the winds, and loud as waves. 5 Whole kingdoms shaken by the storm, He settles in a peaceful form; Mountains establish'd by his hand Firm on their old foundation stand. 6 Behold his ensigns sweep the sky, New comets blaze, and lightnings fly; The Heathen lands with swift surprise, From the bright horrors turn their eyes. 7 At his command the morning ray Smiles in the East, and leads the day, He guides the sun's declining wheels Over the tops of western hills. 8 Seasons and times obey his voice; The evening and the morn rejoice To see the earth made soft with showers, Laden with fruit, and drest in flowers. 9 'Tis from his watery stores on high, He gives the thirsty ground supply; He walks upon the clouds, and thence Doth his enriching drops dispense. 10 The desert grows a fruitful field, Abundant food the vallies yield; The vallies shout with cheerful voice, And neighboring hills repeat their joys. 11 The pastures smile in green array, There lambs and larger cattle play; The larger cattle and the lamb, Each in his language speaks thy name. 12 Thy works pronounce thy power divine; O'er every field thy glories shine; Through every month thy gifts appear; Great God, thy goodness crowns the year. Scripture: Psalm 65:5-13 Languages: English

The Garden of the World (Lament for the Earth)

Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: New Hymns of Hope #205 Meter: 12.12.12.12 Topics: Earth Day First Line: The garden of the world, the paradise we share Lyrics: 1 The garden of the world, the paradise we share, the greening of all life is dying in our care, the covenants we made are rendered null and void, the garden that is God's, dishonored and destroyed. 2 New prophets tell the signs of fire, flood and storm, now all creation groans as nature changes form, and yet we will not change, though ice floes melt away, though creatures lose their homes in desolation's day. 3 The poor and the displaced must struggle more than all when hope and harvests fail, when drought has taken toll, when air is poisoned breath, when water does not flow, earth's children bear the cost, earth's planting cannot grow. 4 The callous face of greed, the trading of the powers will fuel and will feed a lifestyle such as ours. We pray for one more chance to tend to earth's repair! The greening of all life is dying in our care. Languages: English Tune Title: CARTERET ISLANDS

Age after age their tragic empires rise, Built while they dream, and in that dreaming weep: Would man but wake from out his haunted sleep, Earth might be fair and all men glad and wise. 3 Earth shall be fair, and all her people one: Nor till that hour shall God's whole will be done.

Amen. Tune Title: LLANGLOFFAN
