Author: Cecil Henry Boutflower Hymnal: Voices United #407 (1996) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Hymnal Title: Voices United First Line: O joy of God, we seek you in the morning Lyrics: 1 O joy of God, we seek you in the morning
and long to see the glory of your face:
rise on our darkness with your sun's new dawning.
Flood all our being in this feast of grace.
2 O life of God, for you our spirits hunger;
unless we feed on you we surely die:
with love and faith renewed and hope grown younger,
send us from here to serve you, God most high.
3 O peace of God, you pass our understanding -
safe through each moment keep us every day:
with joy divine and mercy never ending,
direct our path and prosper all our way. Topics: The Church at Worship Opening and Morning Hymns; liturgical Opening Hymns; Opening Hymns; Service Music Gathering, Call to Worship, Greeting; Proper 24 Year A Tune Title: HIGHWOOD
