I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above
Author: Cecil Arthur Spring-Rice (1859-1918) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #704 (2005) Meter: 13.13.13.13.13.13 Topics: Stages of Life Lyrics: 1 I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love:
the love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
that lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
the love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
the love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.
2 And there's another country I've heard of long ago,
most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
we may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
and soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
and her ways are ways of gentleness and all her paths are peace. Scripture: 1 Timothy 2:1-3 Languages: English Tune Title: THAXTED

In the Bulb There Is a Flower
Author: Natalie Sleeth Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #797 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Stages of Life Lyrics: 1 In the bulb there is a flower;
in the seed, an apple tree;
in cocoons, a hidden promise:
butterflies will soon be free!
In the cold and snow of winter
there’s a spring that waits to be,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see.
2 There’s a song in ev'ry silence,
seeking word and melody;
there’s a dawn in ev'ry darkness,
bringing hope to you and me.
From the past will come the future;
what it holds, a mystery,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see.
3 In our end is our beginning;
in our time, infinity;
in our doubt there is believing;
in our life, eternity.
In our death, a resurrection;
at the last, a victory,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see. Scripture: John 12:24-26 Languages: English Tune Title: PROMISE
In the Bulb There Is a Flower
When all thy mercies, O my God
Author: Joseph Addison (1672-1719) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #820 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Stages of Life Lyrics: 1 When all thy mercies, O my God,
my rising soul surveys,
transported with the view, I'm lost
in wonder, love, and praise.
2 Unnumbered comforts to my soul
thy tender care bestowed,
before my infant heart conceived
from whom those comforts flowed.
3 When in the slippery paths of youth
with heedless steps I ran,
thine arm unseen conveyed me safe,
and led me up to man.
4 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
my daily thanks employ,
and not the least a cheerful heart
which tastes those gifts with joy.
5 Through every period of my life
thy goodness I'll pursue,
and after death in distant worlds
the glorious theme renew.
6 Through all eternity to thee,
a joyful song I'll raise;
for O, eternity's too short
to utter all thy praise. Scripture: Psalm 103:1-19 Languages: English Tune Title: CONTEMPLATION
When all thy mercies, O my God
Year by year, from past to future
Author: Alan Luff (b. 1928) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #829 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Stages of Life Lyrics: 1 Year by year, from past to future
worship marks our upward climb,
sets the rhythm of our journey
to eternity through time:
though the outward things diminish
we are held more firm by grace,
following God's heavenward calling
and the everlasting prize.
2 As we seek to weave life's fabric
on the lengthening loom of days,
may Christ guide the threads that form it,
be the pattern it displays;
may the Father, master craftsman,
sorrowing over each mistake,
plan for us a new perfection
from the ugliness we make.
3 Though we long for the adventure
of the mystery of bliss,
to the pilgrim's eyes the pathway
breaks, and ends in death's abyss;
but within the dark are waiting
hands that bear the print of nails,
which will hold us safe and bear us
where the worship never fails. Scripture: John 14:1-4 Languages: English Tune Title: EBENEZER
Year by year, from past to future
Our Father God in heaven
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #138 (2013) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Topics: Stages of Life Lyrics: 1 Our Father God in heaven
on whom our world depends,
to you let praise be given
for families and friends;
for parents, sisters, brothers,
a home where love belongs,
but on this day for mothers
we bring our thankful songs.
2 What wealth of God's bestowing
for all the world to share!
what strength of heart outgoing
to children everywhere!
Our deepest joys and sorrows
a mother's path must trace,
and earth's unknown tomorrows
are held in her embrace.
3 How well we know the story
that tells of Jesus' birth,
the Lord of heaven's glory
become a child of earth;
a helpless infant sleeping,
yet King of realms above,
to find in Mary's keeping
the warmth of human love.
4 Our Father God in heaven,
to you we lift our prayer,
that every child be given
such tenderness and care,
where life is all for others,
where love your love displays:
for God's good gift of mothers
let earth unite in praise! Scripture: Proverbs 31:28 Languages: English Tune Title: ELLACOMBE
Our Father God in heaven
Christ be the Lord of all our days
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #607 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Topics: Stages of Life Lyrics: 1 Christ be the Lord of all our days,
the swiftly passing years:
Lord of our unremembered birth,
heirs to the brightness of the earth;
Lord of our griefs and fears.
2 Christ be the source of all our deeds,
the life our living shares;
the fount which flows from worlds above
to never-failing springs of love;
the ground of all our prayers.
3 Christ be the goal of all our hopes,
the end to whom we come;
guide of each pilgrim Christian soul
which seeks, as compass seeks the pole,
our many-mansioned home.
4 Christ be the vision of our lives,
of all we think and are;
to shine upon our spirits' sight
as light of everlasting light,
the bright and morning star. Scripture: John 14:6 Languages: English Tune Title: CLOTH FAIR
Christ be the Lord of all our days
