O Grant Us, God, a Little Space

Author: John Ellerton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 123 hymnals Topics: Science and Technology Lyrics: 1 O grant us, God, a little space from daily tasks set free. We meet within this holy place and find security. 2 Around us rolls the ceaseless tide of business, toil, and care, And scarcely can we turn aside for one brief hour of prayer. 3 Yet this is not the only place your presence may be found; On daily work you shed your grace, and blessings all around. 4 Yours are the workplace, home, and mart, the wealth of sea and land; The worlds of science and of art are fashioned by your hand. 5 Work shall be prayer, if all be wrought as you would have it done; And prayer, by you inspired and taught, shall then with work be one.

The Spacious Firmament on High

Author: Joseph Addison Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 798 hymnals Topics: Science 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; Whilst 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 Amidst 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. Scripture: Psalm 19:1-6 Used With Tune: CREATION
