Eternal father, strong to save
Author: William Whiting, 1825-1878 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 433 hymnals Topics: God Creator and Ruler Lyrics: 1 Eternal Father, strong to save,
whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
who bade the mighty ocean deep
its own appointed limits keep:
oh hear us when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea.
2 O Christ, whose voice the waters heard
and hushed their raging at thy word,
who walked upon the foaming deep
and calm amid the storm didst sleep:
oh hear us when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea.
3 O Holy Spirit, who did brood
Upon the waters dark and rude,
and bade their angry tumult cease,
and gave, for wild confusion, peace:
oh hear us when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea.
4 O Trinity of love and power,
our kindred shield in danger's hour;
from rock and tempest, fire and foe,
protect them wheresoe'er they go;
then evermore shall rise to thee
glad hymns of praise from land and sea. Scripture: Genesis 1:2 Used With Tune: MELITA

the good seed on the land,
but it is fed and watered
by God’s almighty hand:
you send the snow in winter,
the warmth to swell the grain,
the breezes and the sunshine,
and soft refreshing rain.
Refrain:
All good gifts around us
are sent from heaven above;
We thank you, Lord, we thank you, Lord
for all your love.
2 You only are the Maker
of all things near and far;
you paint the wayside flower,
you light the evening star;
the winds and waves obey you;
by you the birds are fed;
much more to us, your children,
you give our daily bread. [Refrain]
3 We thank you, our provider,
for all things bright and good,
the seed-time, and the harvest,
our life, our health, our food.
No gifts have we to offer
for all your love imparts,
but that which you most welcome:
our humble, thankful hearts. [Refrain]

tout vient du Dieu vivant.

Bénis ton Dieu sans cesse,
ô peuple des chrétiens,
fais tiennes ses promesses,
jouis de tous ses biens.

et le joyeux cortège

les fins cristaux de neige,

3 Bénis, bénis, mon âme,
le Dieu de Jésus-Christ,
et ses bienfaits proclame,
bienfaits d’un si grand prix.
Il sème en abondance,
le long de tes sentiers,
les dons qu’en sa clémence
il veut multiplier. [Refrain] Scripture: Luke 12:6-7 Used With Tune: WIR PFLUGEN (DRESDEN)

I sing the almighty power of God
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 476 hymnals Topics: God Creator and Ruler Lyrics: 1 I sing the almighty power of God
that made the mountains rise,
that spread the flowing seas abroad
and built the lofty skies.
I sing the wisdom that ordained
the sun to rule the day;
the moon shines full at God’s command,
and all the stars obey.
2 I sing the goodness of the Lord,
that filled the earth with food;
God formed the creatures with a word,
and then pronounced them good.
Lord, how thy wonders are displayed,
where’er I turn my eyes,
if I survey the ground I tread,
or gaze upon the skies!
3 There’s not a plant or flower below
but makes thy glories known,
and clouds arise and tempests blow
by order from thy throne,
while all that borrows life from thee
is ever in thy care,
and everywhere that I could be,
thou, God, art present there. Scripture: Genesis 1, 2:1-4 Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN

yet to each loving heart how near!

sheds on our path the glow of day;
star of our hope, thy softened light
cheers the long watches of the night.
3 Our midnight is thy smile withdrawn;
our noontide is thy gracious dawn;
our rainbow arch, thy mercy's sign;
all, save the clouds of sin, are thine.
4 Lord of all life, below, above,
whose light is truth, whose warmth is love,
before thy ever-blazing throne
we ask no lustre of our own.
5 Grant us thy truth to make us free,
and kindling hearts that burn for thee,
till all thy living altars claim
one holy light, one heavenly flame. Scripture: Genesis 9:13 Used With Tune: ARIZONA
