Morning has broken

Author: Eleanor Farjeon (1881-1965) Appears in 98 hymnals Topics: God the Father Works Lyrics: 1 Morning has broken Like the first morning, Blackbird has spoken Like the first bird. Praise for the singing! Praise for the morning! Praise for them, springing Fresh from the Word! 2 Sweet the rain’s new fall Sunlit from Heaven, Like the first dewfall On the first grass. Praise for the sweetness Of the wet garden, Sprung in completeness Where his feet pass. 3 Mine is the sunlight, Mine is the morning, Born of the one light Eden saw play. Praise with elation, Praise every morning, God’s re-creation Of the new day!

Oh, for a closer walk with God

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,396 hymnals Topics: God the Father Desire For Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a closer walk with God, A calm and heavenly frame, A light to shine upon the road That leads me to the Lamb. 2 Where is the blessedness I knew When first I saw the Lord? Where is the soul-refreshing view Of Jesus and His word? 3 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed! How sweet their memory still! But they have left an aching void The world can never fill. 4 Return, O holy Dove! return, Sweet messenger of rest! I hate the sins that made Thee mourn, And drove Thee from my breast. 5 The dearest idol I have known, Whate'er that idol be, Help me to tear it from Thy throne, And worship only Thee. 6 So shall my walk be close with God, Calm and serene my frame; So purer light shall mark the road That leads me to the Lamb.

How shall I sing that majesty

Author: John Mason, c1645-1694 Appears in 43 hymnals Topics: General Hymns God the Father Lyrics: 1 How shall I sing that majesty which angels do admire? Let dust in dust and silence lie; sing, sing, ye heavenly choir. Thousands of thousands stand around thy throne, O God most high; ten thousand times ten thousand sound thy praise; but who am I? 2 Thy brightness unto them appears, whilst I thy footsteps trace; a sound of God comes to my ears, but they behold thy face. They sing because thou art their Sun; Lord, send a beam on me; for where heaven is but once begun there alleluias be. 3 How great a being, Lord, is thine, which doth all beings keep! Thy knowledge is the only line to sound so vast a deep. Thou art a sea without a shore, a sun without a sphere; thy time is now and evermore, thy place is everywhere. Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

With healing balm my soul is filled and every faithless murmur stilled: To God all praise and glory. 2 The Lord is never far away, but through all grief distressing, an ever present help and stay, our peace and joy and blessing. As with a mother's tender hand, God gently leads the chosen band: To God all praise and glory. 3 Thus all my toilsome way along, I sing aloud thy praises, that earth may hear the grateful song my voice unwearied raises. Be joyful in the Lord, my heart, both soul and body bear your part: To God all praise and glory. 4 Let all who name Christ's holy name give God all praise and glory; let all who own his power proclaim aloud the wondrous story! Cast each false idol from its throne, for Christ is Lord, and Christ alone: To God all praise and glory. United Methodist Hymnal, 1989

Grant us wisdom, Grant us courage, For the facing of this hour, For the facing of this hour. 2 Lo! the hosts of evil round us Scorn Thy Christ, assail His ways! Fears and doubts too long have bound us; Free our hearts to work and praise. Grant us wisdom, Grant us courage, For the living of these days, For the living of these days. 3 Cure Thy children’s warring madness, Bend our pride to Thy control; Shame our wanton, selfish gladness, Rich in things and poor in soul. Grant us wisdom, Grant us courage, Lest we miss Thy kingdom’s goal, Lest we miss Thy kingdom’s goal. 4 Set our feet on lofty places; Gird our lives that they may be Armored with all Christ-like graces In the fight to set men free. Grant us wisdom, Grant us courage, That we fail not them nor Thee, That we fail not them nor Thee! 5 Save us from weak resignation To the evils we deplore: Let the search for Thy salvation Be our glory evermore. Grant us wisdom, Grant us courage, Serving Thee whom we adore, Serving Thee whom we adore. Amen. Scripture: Ephesians 6:11 Used With Tune: CWM RHONDDA
