God, Whose Giving Knows No Ending
Author: Robert L. Edwards, 1915-2006 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 33 hymnals Matching Instances: 11 Lyrics: 1 God, whose giving knows no ending,
From your rich and endless store:
Nature's wonder, Jesus' wisdom,
Costly cross, grave's shattered door,
Gifted by you, we turn to you,
Off'ring up ourselves in praise;
Thankful song shall rise forever,
Gracious donor of our days.
2 Skills and time are ours for pressing
Toward the goals of Christ, your Son:
All at peace in health and freedom,
Races joined, the Church made one.
Now direct our daily labor,
Lest we strive for self alone;
Born with talents, make us servants
Fit to answer at your throne.
3 Treasure, too, you have entrusted,
Gain through pow'rs your grace conferred;
Ours to use for home and kindred,
And to spread the gospel word.
Open wide our hands in sharing,
As we heed Christ's ageless call,
Healing, teaching, and reclaiming,
Serving you by loving all. Topics: Stewardship; Ordinary Time, Nineteenth Sunday C Used With Tune: RUSTINGTON
God, Whose Giving Knows No Ending
God, we praise you! God, we bless you!
Author: Christopher Idle (born 1938) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 31 hymnals Matching Instances: 7 Lyrics: 1 God, we praise you! God, we bless you!
God, we name you sovereign Lord!
Mighty King whom angels worship,
Father, by your church adored:
all creation shows your glory,
heaven and earth draw near your throne
singing 'Holy, holy, holy,'
Lord of hosts, and God alone!
2 True apostles, faithful prophets,
saints who set their world ablaze,
martyrs, once unknown, unheeded,
join one growing song of praise,
while your church on earth confesses
one majestic Trinity:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
God, our hope eternally.
3 Jesus Christ, the king of glory,
everlasting Son of God,
humble was your virgin mother,
hard the lonely path you trod:
by your cross is sin defeated,
hell confronted face to face,
heaven opened to believers,
sinners justified by grace.
4 Christ, at God's right hand victorious,
you will judge the world you made;
Lord, in mercy help your servants
for whose freedom you have paid:
raise us up from dust to glory,
guard us from all sin today;
King enthroned above all praises,
save your people, God, we pray. Topics: God's Church Praise and Adoration; Te Deum laudamus; Easter 5 Going to the Father; The Ascension of Christ; Trinity Sunday The Trinity; Last Sunday after Pentecost Citizens of Heaven Used With Tune: RUSTINGTON Text Sources: from Te Deum

When Will People Cease Their Fighting?
Author: Constance Cherry Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 Lyrics: 1 When will people cease their fighting?
When will armies wage no war,
Nations conquer not their neighbor,
Weapons idle, used no more?
When will guns and bombs be silent?
When will captives be set free?
All creation groans in longing
For the world's true liberty.
2 Floods and earthquakes, drought and famine
Plague the world with awesome ill,
But far greater is war's horror
Caused by human, stubborn will.
Blest are those who, working, praying,
Purpose in their hearts to be
Instruments of peace, committed
To the nations' harmony.
3 As we strive for peace with vigor,
Hoping to be shown the way,
We are strengthened in the knowledge
Of a future, perfect day;
For we know that deeper, richer
Peace is ours when Christ shall reign:
Then will all our swords be plowshares
And God's children free from pain. Used With Tune: RUSTINGTON

Glorious Things of You Are Spoken
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,301 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of you are spoken,
Zion, city of our God.
He whose word cannot be broken
formed you for his own abode.
On the Rock of Ages founded,
what can shake your sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
you may smile at all your foes.
2 See, the streams of living waters,
springing from eternal love,
well supply your sons and daughters
and all fear of want remove.
Who can faint while such a river
ever will their thirst assuage?
Grace which, like the Lord, the giver,
never fails from age to age.
3 Round each habitation hovering,
see the cloud and fire appear
for a glory and a covering,
showing that the Lord is near.
Thus deriving from their banner
light by night and shade by day,
safe they feed upon the manna
which God gives them on their way.
4 Savior, since of Zion's city
I through grace a member am,
let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in your name.
Fading are the world's best pleasures,
all its boasted pomp and show;
solid joys and lasting treasures
none but Zion's children know.

Out of Deep, Unordered Water
Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 Out of deep, unordered water
God created light and land,
World of bird and beast and,later,
In God's image, woman, man.
There is water in the river
Bringing life to tree and plant.
Let creation praise its giver:
There is water in the font.
2 Water on the human forehead,
Birthmark of the love of God
Is the sign of death and rising;
Through the seas there runs a road.
There is water in the river
Bringing life to tree and plant.
Let creation praise its giver:
There is water in the font.
3 Standing round the font reminds us
Of the Hebrews' climb ashore.
Life is hallowed by the knowledge:
God has been this way before.
There is water in the river
Bringing life to tree and plant.
Let creation praise its giver:
There is water in the font.

See, the Conqueror Mounts in Triumph
Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 200 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 See, the Conqu'ror mounts in triumph;
see the King in royal state,
riding on the clouds, his chariot,
to his heav'nly palace gate:
Hark! the choirs of angel voices
joyful Alleluias sing,
and the portals high are lifted
to receive their heav'nly King.
2 Who is this that comes in glory,
with the trump of jubilee?
Lord of battles, God of armies,
he has gained the victory;
he who on the cross did suffer,
he who from the grave arose,
he has vanquished sin and Satan,
he by death has spoiled his foes.
3 You have raised our human nature
in the clouds to God's right hand;
there we sit in heav'nly places,
there with you in glory stand:
Jesus reigns, adored by angels,
man with God is on the throne;
mighty Lord, in your ascension
we by faith behold our own.

Through the night of doubt and sorrow
Author: Bernhardt Ingemann, 1789-1862; Sabine Baring-Gould, 1834-1924 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 319 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 Through the night of doubt and sorrow
onward goes the pilgrim band,
singing songs of expectation,
marching to the promised land.
2 Clear before us through the darkness
gleams and burns the guiding light;
pilgrim clasps the hand of pilgrim,
stepping fearless through the night.
3 One the light of God's own presence
o'er his ransomed people shed,
chasing far the gloom and terror,
brightening all the path we tread:
4 One the object of our journey,
one the faith which never tires,
one the earnest looking forward,
one the hope our God inspires:
5 One the strain that lips of thousands
lift as from the heart of one;
one the conflict, one the peril,
one the march in God begun:
6 One the gladness of rejoicing
on the far eternal shore,
where the one almighty Father
reigns in love for evermore.
*7 Onward, therefore, pilgrim brothers,
onward with the cross our aid;
bear its shame, and fight its battle,
till we rest beneath its shade.
*8 Soon shall come the great awaking,
soon the rending of the tomb;
then the scattering of all shadows,
and the end of toil and gloom.
