you nurture strength to follow Christ our brother,
as full-grown children, confident and sure.

love which commands, enables and obeys:
you give yourself, in boundless joy, creating
one vast increasing harmony of praise.

May love in us, seek love and serve love's purpose,
till we ascend with Christ and find love whole. Topics: Trinity; Baptism (general); Images of God Languages: English Tune Title: HIGHWOOD

Eternal Power, whose high abode
Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #337 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Genesis 18:27 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Power, whose high abode
Becomes the grandeur of a God:
In vain the loftiest angel tries
To reach thy height with wondering eyes.
2 Thy dazzling glories while he sings,
He hides his face beneath his wings;
Seraphs that most with ardor glow,
Still at an humble distance bow.
3 Earth from afar has heard thy fame,
And worms have learned to lisp thy name;
But oh, the glories of thy mind
Leave all our soaring thoughts behind.
4 God is in heaven and man below;
Soft be our strains, our words be few;
A sacred reverence checks our songs,
And praise sits trembling on our tongues.

Author: Thomas Binney Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #41 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Scripture: Exodus 33:20 Lyrics: 1 Eternal light! Eternal light!
How pure that soul must be,
when, placed within thy searching sight,
it shrinks not, but with calm delight
can live and look on thee.
2 The spirits that surround thy throne
may bear the burning bliss;
but that is surely theirs alone,
since they have never, never known
a fallen world like this.
3 O how shall I, whose native sphere
is dark, whose mind is dim,
before th'ineffable appear,
and on my naked spirit bear
the uncreated beam?
4 There is a way for us to rise
to that sublime abode,
an off'ring and a sacrifice,
a Holy Spirit's energies,
an Advocate with God.
5 These, these prepare us for the sight
of holiness above;
the heirs of ignorance and night
may dwell in the eternal light,
through the eternal Love!

Of earth, and seas, and worlds unknown;

Let heaven and earth due homage pay;
All other gods we disavow,
Deny their claims, renounce their sway.

Their idol-deities dethrone;
Reduce the world to thy command;
And reign, as thou art, GOD alone. Languages: English

4 If down I turn my wandering eyes
On clouds and storms below,
Those under-regions of the skies,
Thy numerous glories show.
5 The noisy winds stand ready there
Thy orders to obey;
With sounding winds they sweep the air,
To make thy chariot way.
6 But the mild glories of thy grace,
Our softer passions move;
Pity divine in Jesus' face
We see, adore, and love.

Who can approach thy throne?
Accessless light is thine abode,
To angel eyes unknown.
2 Before the radiance of thine eye,
The heavens no longer shine;
And all the glories of the sky
Are but the shade of thine.
3 Great God, and wilt thou condescend
To cast a look below?
To this dark world thy notice bend--
These seats of sin and woe?
4 How strange, how wondrous is thy love!
With trembling we adore:
Not all th' exalted minds above
Its wonders can explore.
5 While golden harps and angel tongues
Resound immortal lays,
Great God, permit our humble songs
To rise and speak thy praise. Topics: Attributes of God Condescension ; Condescension of God

whose arm has bound the restless wave,
who told the mighty ocean deep
its own appointed bounds to keep:
O 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 your word,
who walked across the surging deep
and in the storm lay calm in sleep:
O hear us when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea.
3 Creator Spirit, by whose breath
were fashioned sea and sky and earth;
who made the stormy chaos cease
and gave us life and light and peace:
O hear us when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea.
4 O Trinity of love and power,
preserve their lives in danger's hour;
from rock and tempest, flood and flame,
protect them by your holy name,
and to your glory let there be
glad hymns of praise from land and sea. Languages: English Tune Title: MELITA

Well may thy praise our lips employ,
While in thy temple we appear,
Whose goodness crowns the circling year.
2 The flowery spring, at thy command,
Embalms the air, and paints the land;
The summer rays with vigor shine,
To raise the corn and cheer the vine.
3 Thy hand, in autumn, richly pours
Through all our coasts redundant stores;
And winters, softened by thy care,
No more a face of horror wear.
4 Seasons and months, and weeks and days,
Demand successive songs of praise;
Still be the cheerful homage paid,
With opening light and evening shade. Topics: The Christian Nation Thanksgiving; God's Goodness Crowns the Year

Fountain of unexhausted love,
in whom the Father’s glories shine,
through earth beneath, and heav'n above:
2 Jesus, the weary wand'rer’s rest,
give me thine easy yoke to bear,
with steadfast patience arm my breast,
with spotless love and holy fear.
3 Thankful, I take the cup from thee,
prepared and mingled by thy skill,
though bitter to the taste it be,
pow'rful the wounded soul to heal.
4 Be thou, O Rock of ages, nigh;
so shall each murm'ring thought be gone,
and grief and fear and care shall fly,
ss clouds before the mid-day sun.
5 Speak to my warring passions, “Peace”'
day to my wounded heart, “Be still!”
Thy power my strength and fortress is,
and all things serve thy sovereign will.
6 O death, where is thy sting? Where now
thy boasted victory, O grave?
Who shall contend with God? or who
can hurt whom God delights to save?

Eternal God, Whose Power Upholds
Author: Henry Hallam Tweedy Hymnal: The Worshipbook #357 (1972) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Scripture: Psalm 54:4 Lyrics: 1 Eternal God, whose power upholds
Both flower and flaming star,
To whom there is no here nor there,
No time, no near nor far,
No alien race, no foreign shore,
No child unsought, unknown:
O send us forth, your prophets true,
To make all lands your own!
2 O God of truth, whom science seeks
And reverent souls adore,
Illumine every earnest mind
Of every clime and shore:
Dispel the gloom of error's night,
Of ignorance and fear,
Until true wisdom from above
Shall make life's pathway clear!
3 O God of beauty, oft revealed
In dreams of human art,
In speech that flows to melody,
In holiness of heart:
Teach us to ban all ugliness,
And all disharmony,
Till all shall know the loveliness
Of lives made fair and free!
4 O God of righteousness and grace,
Seen in the Christ, your Son,
Whose life and death reveal your face,
By whom your will was done;
Help us to spread your gracious reign
Till greed and hate shall cease,
And kindness dwell in human hearts,
And all the earth find peace!
Amen. Topics: Service for the Lord's Day After Creed; Christian Year Trinity Sunday; Civil Year New Year; Civil Year Independence Day; Other Observances Mission; Other Observances World Peace Tune Title: FOREST GREEN
