The works of the Lord are created in wisdom

Author: Christopher Idle (b. 1938) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #551 (2013) Meter: 12.11.12.11 Hymnal Title: Ancient and Modern Lyrics: 1 The works of the Lord are created in wisdom; we view the earth's wonders and call him to mind: we hear what he says in the world we discover and God shows his glory in all that we find. 2 Not even the angels have ever been granted to tell the full story of nature and grace; but open to God is all human perception, the mysteries of time and the secrets of space. 3 The sun every morning lights up his creation, the moon marks the rhythm of months in their turn; the glittering stars are arrayed in his honour, adorning the years as they ceaselessly burn. 4 The wind is his breath and the clouds are his signal, the rain and the snow are the robes of his choice; the storm and the lightning, his watchmen and heralds, the crash of the thunder, the sound of his voice. 5 The song is unfinished; how shall we complete it, and where find the skill to perfect all God's praise? At work in all places, he cares for all peoples: how great is the Lord to the end of all days!

The Lord is my shepherd, in nocht am I wantin'

Hymnal: TTT-Himnaro Cigneta #608b Hymnal Title: TTT-Himnaro Cigneta Lyrics: 1. The Lord is my Shepherd, in nocht am I wantin'; In the haugh's green girse does He mak me lie doon While mony puir straiglers are bleatin' and pantin' By saft-flowin' burnies He leads me at noon. 2. When aince I had strayed far awa in the bracken, And daidled till gloamin' cam ower a' the hills, Nae dribble o' water my sair drooth to slacken, And dark grow'd the nicht wi' its haars and its chills. 3. Awa frae the fauld, strayin' fit-sair and weary, I thocht I had naethin' tae dae but tae dee. He socht me and fand me in mountain hechts dreary, He gangs by fell paths which He kens best for me. 4. And noo, for His name's sake, I'm dune wi' a' fearin' Though cloods may aft gaither and soughin' win's blaw. "Hoo this?" or "Hoo that?" -- oh, prevent me frae spearin' His will is aye best, and I daurna say "Na". 5. The valley o' death winna fleg me to thread it, Through awfu' the darkness, I weel can foresee. Wi' His rod and His staff He wull help me to tread it, Then wull its shadows, sae gruesome, a' flee. 6. Forfochen in presence o' foes that surround me, My Shepherd a table wi' denties has spread. The Thyme and the Myrtle blaw fragrant aroond me, He brims a fu' cup and poors oil on my head. 7. Surely guidness an' mercy, despite a' my roamin' Wull gang wi' me doon tae the brink o' the river. Ayont it nae mair o' the eerie an' gloamin' I wull bide in the Hame o' my Faither for ever.
