All Beautiful the March of Days

Author: Frances W. Wile Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 90 hymnals Lyrics: 1. All beautiful the march of days, as seasons come and go; The Hand that shaped the rose hath wrought the crystal of the snow; Hath sent the hoary frost of Heav’n, the flowing waters sealed, And laid a silent loveliness on hill and wood and field. 2. O’er white expanses sparkling pure the radiant morns unfold; The solemn splendors of the night burn brighter than the cold; Life mounts in every throbbing vein, love deepens round the hearth, And clearer sounds the angel hymn, Good will to men on earth. 3. O Thou from whose unfathomed law the year in beauty flows, Thyself the vision passing by in crystal and in rose, Day unto day doth utter speech, and night to night proclaim, In ever changing words of light, the wonder of Thy name.

All Nature's Works His Praise Declare

Author: Henry Ware, Jr. Appears in 41 hymnals Lyrics: 1. All nature’s works His praise declare, to whom they all belong; There is a voice in every star, in every breeze a song. Sweet music fills the world abroad with strains of love and power; The stormy sea sings praise to God, the thunder and the shower. 2. To God the tribes of ocean cry, and birds upon the wing; To God the powers that dwell on high their tuneful tribute bring. Like them, let us the throne surround, with them loud chorus raise, While instruments of loftier sound assist our feeble praise. 3. Great God, to Thee we consecrate our voices and our skill; We bid the pealing organ wait to speak alone Thy will. Lord, while the music round us floats may earth born passions die; O grant its rich and swelling notes may lift our souls on high! Used With Tune: BETHLEHEM

With us when the storm is sweeping, O’er our pathway dark and drear; Waking hope within our bosoms, Stilling every anxious fear. 4. With us in the lonely valley, When we cross the chilling stream; Lighting up the steps to glory With salvation’s radiant beam.
