When Jesus left his Father's throne
God, Who Stretched the Spangled Heavens
Author: Catherine Cameron, b. 1927 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 46 hymnals Topics: Ministry Lyrics: 1 God, who stretched the spangled heavens
Infinite in time and place,
Flung the suns in burning radiance
Through the silent fields of space;
We, your children, in your likeness,
Share inventive pow'rs with you;
Great Creator, still creating,
Show us what we yet may do.
2 Proudly rise our modern cities,
Stately buildings, row on row;
Yet their windows, blank, unfeeling,
Stare on canyoned streets below,
Where the lonely drift unnoticed
In the city's ebb and flow,
Lost to purpose and to meaning,
Scarcely caring where they go.
3 We have ventured worlds undreamed of
Since the childhood of our race;
Known the ecstasy of winging
Through untraveled realms of space;
Probed the secrets of the atom,
Yielding unimagined pow'r,
Facing us with life's destruction
Or our most triumphant hour.
4 As each far horizon beckons,
May it challenge us anew,
Children of creative purpose,
Serving others, honoring you.
May our dreams prove rich with promise,
Each endeavor, well begun:
Great Creator, give us guidance
Till our goals and yours are one. Scripture: Genesis 1 Used With Tune: HOLY MANNA

thy name most holy be forever blest.

We live in struggle, they in glory shine;
yet all are one in thee, for all are thine.

steals on the ear the distant triumph song,
and hearts are brave again, and arms are strong.

Forward Through the Ages
Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer, 1840-1929 Appears in 84 hymnals Topics: Ministry Lyrics: 1 Forward through the ages,
in unbroken line,
move the faithful spirits
at the call divine:
gifts in differing measure,
hearts of one accord,
manifold the service,
one the sure reward.
Forward through the ages,
in unbroken line,
move the faithful spirits
at the call divine.
2 Wider grows the vision,
realm of love and light;
for it we must labor,
till our faith is sight.
Prophets have proclaimed it,
martyrs testified,
poets sung its glory,
heroes for it died.
Forward through the ages,
in unbroken line,
move the faithful spirits
at the call divine.
3 Not alone we conquer,
not alone we fall;
in each loss or triumph
lose or triumph all.
Bound by God’s far purpose
in one living whole,
move we on together
to the shining goal.
Forward through the ages,
in unbroken line,
move the faithful spirits
at the call divine.

Hail to the Lord's Anointed
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 853 hymnals Topics: Christ Ministry Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed,
Great David's greater Son!
Hail, in the time appointed,
His reign on earth begun!
He comes to break oppression,
To set the captive free,
To take away transgression,
And rule in equity.
2 Kings shall fall down before Him,
And gold and incense bring;
All nations shall adore Him,
His praise all people sing;
For He shall have dominion
O'er river, sea, and shore,
Far as the eagle's pinion
Or dove's light wing can soar.
3 He shall come down like showers
Upon the fruitful earth,
And love, joy, hope, like flowers,
Spring in His path to birth;
Before Him on the mountains
Shall peace, the herald, go;
And righteousness in fountains
From hill to valley flow.
4 O'er every foe victorious,
He on His throne shall rest,
From age to age more glorious,
All blessing and all blest;
The tide of time shall never
His covenant remove;
His name shall stand forever;
That name to us is Love.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 72 Used With Tune: ROCKPORT

At the name of Jesus
Author: Caroline Maria Noel (1817-1877) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 260 hymnals Topics: Jesus Life and Ministry Lyrics: 1 At the name of Jesus
every knee shall bow,
every tongue confess him
King of glory now:
'tis the Father's pleasure
we should call him Lord,
who from the beginning
was the mighty Word.
2 At his voice creation
sprang at once to sight,
all the angel faces,
all the hosts of light,
thrones and dominations,
stars upon their way,
all the heavenly orders,
in their great array.
3 Humbled for a season,
to receive a name
from the lips of sinners
unto whom he came,
faithfully he bore it
spotless to the last,
brought it back victorious,
when from death he passed:
4 Bore it up triumphant
with its human light,
through all ranks of creatures,
to the central height,
to the throne of Godhead,
to the Father's breast;
filled it with the glory,
of that perfect rest.
5 Name him, Christians, name him,
with love strong as death,
but with awe and wonder
and with bated breath:
he is God the Saviour,
he is Christ the Lord,
ever to be worshipped,
trusted, and adored.
6 In your hearts enthrone him;
there let him subdue
all that is not holy,
all that is not true:
crown him as your Captain
in temptation's hour;
let his will enfold you
in its light and power.
7 Surely, this Lord Jesus
shall return again,
with his Father's glory,
with his angel train;
for all wreaths of empire
meet upon his brow,
and our hearts confess him
King of glory now. Scripture: Philippians 2:1-13 Used With Tune: EVELYNS
