The Spacious Firmament on High
Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: WSH1972 #595 (1972) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Person Name: Joseph Addison Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high,
With all the blue ethereal sky,
And spangled heavens, a shining frame,
Their great Original proclaim:
Th'unwearied sun, from day to day,
Does his Creator's power display,
And publishes to every land
The work of an almighty hand.
2 Soon as the evening shades prevail,
The moon takes up the wondrous tale,
And nightly to the listening earth
Repeats the story of her birth;
While all the stars that round her burn,
And all the planets in their turn,
Confirm the tidings as they roll,
And spread the truth from pole to pole.
3 What though in solemn silence all
Move round this dark terrestrial ball?
What though no real voice nor sound
Amid the radiant orbs be found?
In reason's ear they all rejoice,
And utter forth a glorious voice;
Forever singing, as they shine,
"The hand that made us is divine."
Amen. Topics: Service for the Lord's Day Opening of Worship; Service for the Lord's Day After Old Testament Lesson Scripture: Psalm 19 Tune Title: CREATION

God Is Working His Purpose Out
Author: Arthur Campbell Ainger Hymnal: WSH1972 #389 (1972) Meter: Irregular Person Name: Arthur Campbell Ainger 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 What can we do to work God's work,
To prosper and increase
The brotherhood of all mankind,
The reign of the Prince of Peace?
What can we do to hasten 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.
3 March we 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:
Fight we the fight with sorrow and sin
To set their captives free,
That the earth may be filled with the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea.
4 All we can do is nothing worth
Unless God blesses 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.

Born in the Night, Mary's Child
Author: Geoffrey Ainger Hymnal: WSH1972 #312 (1972) Person Name: Geoffrey Ainger Lyrics: 1 Born in the night, Mary's Child,
A long way from your home;

Born in a borrowed room.

Dawn on our darkened day.

You tell us God is good;
Prove it is true, Mary's Child,
Go to your cross of wood.

Jesus Calls Us
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Hymnal: WSH1972 #439 (1972) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Person Name: Cecil Frances Alexander First Line: Jesus calls us: o'er the tumult Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us: o'er the tumult
Of our life's wild, restless sea,
Day by day his voice is sounding,
Saying, "Christian, follow me."
2 As of old, Saint Andrew heard it
By the Galilean lake,
Turned from home and toil and kindred,
Leaving all for his dear sake.
3 Jesus calls us from the worship
Of the vain world's golden store,
From each idol that would keep us,
Saying, "Christian, love me more."
4 In our joys and in our sorrows,
Days of toil and hours of ease,
Still he calls, in cares and pleasures,
"Christian, love me more than these."
4 Jesus calls us: by your mercies,
Savior, may we hear your call,
Give our hearts to your obedience,
Serve and love you best of all.

Once in Royal David's City
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Hymnal: WSH1972 #539 (1972) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Person Name: Cecil Frances Alexander Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her baby
In a manger for his bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ, her little child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven
Who is God and Lord of all,
And his shelter was a stable,
And his cradle was a stall:
With the poor, and mean, and lowly,
Lived on earth our Savior holy.
3 Jesus is our childhood's pattern,
Day by day like us he grew;
He was little, weak, and helpless,
Tears and smiles like us he knew:
And He comforts us in sadness,
And He shares in all our gladness.
4 And our eyes at last shall see him,
Through his own redeeming love;
For that child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heaven above,
And he leads his children on
To the place where he is gone.
Amen. Topics: Sacraments Baptism; Christian Year Christmas; Christian Year Epiphany; Other Observances Christian Education Scripture: John 7:40-44 Tune Title: IRBY

Come, You Thankful People, Come
Author: Henry Alford Hymnal: WSH1972 #346 (1972) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Person Name: Henry Alford Lyrics: 1 Come, you thankful people, come,
Raise the song of harvest home:
All is safely gathered in,
Ere the winter storms begin;
God, our Maker, does provide
For our wants to be supplied:
Come to God's own temple, come,
Raise the song of harvest home.
2 All the world is God's own field,
Fruit unto his praise to yield;
Wheat and tares together sown,
Unto joy or sorrow grown;
First the blade, and then the ear,
Then the full corn shall appear:
Lord of harvest, grant that we
Wholesome grain and pure may be.
3 For the Lord our God shall come,
And shall take his harvest home;
From his field shall in that day
All offenses purge away,
Give his angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast,
But the fruitful ears to store
In his garner evermore.
4 Even so, Lord, quickly come
To your final harvest home;
Gather all your people in,
Free from sorrow, free from sin;
There forever purified,
In your presence to abide:
Come, with all your angels, come,
Raise the glorious harvest home.
