O God, Our Help in Ages Past

O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home!
2. Under the shadow of thy throne,
still may we dwell secure;
sufficient is thine arm alone,
and our defense is sure.
3. Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received her frame,
from everlasting, thou art God,
to endless years the same.
4. A thousand ages, in thy sight,
are like an evening gone;
short as the watch that ends the night,
before the rising sun.
5. Time, like an ever rolling stream,
bears all who breathe away;
they fly forgotten, as a dream
dies at the opening day.
6. O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come;
be thou our guide while life shall last,
and our eternal home.

Where Thy redeemed behold Thy face,
Enter this temple, now Thine own,

Its sacred walls before Thee stand;
'Tis Thine for us; 'tis ours for Thee;
Reared by Thy kind assisting hand,

Let heartfelt worship here ascend;
With Thine own joy fill every breast,
With Thine own power Thy word attend,
With Thine own power Thy word attend.
4 Here in the dark and sorrowing day,
Bid Thou the throbbing heart be still;
Oh, wipe the mourner's tears away,
And give new strength to meet Thy will,
And give new strength to meet Thy will.
5 When round the Board Thine own shall meet,
And keep the feast of dying love,
Be our communion ever sweet
With Thee, and with Thy Church above,
With Thee, and with Thy Church above.
6 Come, faithful Shepherd, feed Thy sheep;
In Thine own arms the lambs enfold;
Give help to climb the heavenward steep,
Till Thy full glory we behold,
Till Thy full glory we behold.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ROTHWELL

The swelling tide had o'er us spread its wave,
The raging stream had then become our grave,
The surging flood, in proudly selling roll,
Must surely then had overwhelmed our soul.
3 Blest be the Lord Who made us not their prey;
As from the snare a bird escapeth free,
Their net is rent and so escaped are we;
Our only help is in Jehovah's Name,
Who made the earth and all the heav'nly frame. Scripture: Psalm 124 Languages: English Tune Title: OLD 124TH

as witness to God's love amid a world of pain;
They built upon the rock that is the risen Christ,
the one foundation laid, that stands each earthly shock.
2 Those who have loved this place, a cloud of witnesses,
surround and urge us on as we now run our race;
Though the horizon's bend conceals the way ahead,
the footprints on the road show Christ waits at the end;
3 In every place our world is storm and tempest tossed,
the flames of fear and hate are evil's flags unfurled;
Yet still the Spirit's power in wind and fire of love
pours gifts upon the church for service in this hour.
4 Here is our meeting place where doubt finds grounds of faith,
where hurt finds healing love, our penitence your grace;
Where God in Trinity is bridge from death to life,
from sin to holiness, time to eternity. Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-2 Languages: English Tune Title: LEONI

From heaven Christ came and sought us in love to set us free;
with precious blood Christ bought us for all eternity.
2 Elect from every nation, yet one o’er all the earth,
one charter of salvation, one God, one faith, one birth,
One name together blessing, one holy food we share,
to one hope we are pressing, at one in work and prayer.
3 'Mid toil and tribulation, and tumult of our war,
we wait the consummation of peace forevermore,
Till with the vision glorious, our longing eyes are blessed,
and the great church victorious shall be the church at rest.
4 Yet we on earth have union with God, the Three-in-One,
and mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won.

like them, the meek and lowly, may live eternally. Scripture: Ephesians 2:13-22 Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA

The church's one foundation

to be his holy bride;

2. Elect from every nation,
yet one o'er all the earth;
her charter of salvation,
one Lord, one faith, one birth;
one holy name she blesses,
partakes one holy food,
and to one hope she presses,
with every grace endued.
3. Though with a scornful wonder
we see her sore oppressed,
by schisms rent asunder,
by heresies distressed,
yet saints their watch are keeping;
their cry goes up, "How long?"
And soon the night of weeping
shall be the morn of song.
4. Mid toil and tribulation,
and tumult of her war,
she waits the consummation
of peace forevermore;
till, with the vision glorious,
her longing eyes are blest,
and the great church victorious
shall be the church at rest.
5. Yet she on earth hath union
with God the Three in One,
and mystic sweet communion
with those whose rest is won.
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we
like them, the meek and lowly,
on high may dwell with thee.

We bear his name, for all the world to see.
He will not let us go or let us be,

obsessed with trifles, blessing greed and war.
His love outwits us, spinning gold from straw,
through saints and prophets, praying and reforming.

through praise and preaching, wine and broken bread,
of sharing people, doing what they've said,
who win the world's respect, or opposition.

to praise his love and marvel at his trust,
till, bathed in light, awakened from the dust,
we walk with God, alive in grace and glory. Languages: English Tune Title: HIGH STREET

All Nature's Works His Praise Declare
Author: Henry Ware, Jr. Hymnal: The Hymnbook #23 (1955) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Worship Adoration and Praise; Adoration and Praise; Dedication Services Of a Church; God Nature, in; Nature Lyrics: 1 All nature's works His praise declare,
To whom they all belong;
There is a voice in every star,
In every breeze a song.
Sweet music fills the world abroad
With strains of love and power;
The stormy sea sings praise to God,
The thunder and the shower.
2 To God the tribes of ocean cry,
And birds upon the wing;
To God the powers that dwell on high
Their tuneful tribute bring.
Like them, let man the throne surround,
With them loud chorus raise,
While instruments of loftier sound
Assist his feeble praise.
3 Great God, to Thee we consecrate
Our voices and our skill;
We bid the pealing organ wait
To speak alone Thy will.
Lord, while the music round us floats
May earth-born passions die;
O grant its rich and swelling notes
May lift our souls on high!
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 24:1 Tune Title: BETHLEHEM

The groans of Sion mix'd with tears;
Yet when he comes with kind designs,
Through all the way his terror shines.
2 On him the race of man depends,
Far as the earth's remotest ends,
Where the Creator's name is known,
By nature's feeble light alone.
3 Sailors that travel o'er the flood,
Address their frighted souls to God,
When tempests rage and Billows roar
At dreadful distance from the shore.
4 He bids the noisy tempests cease;
He calms the raging crowd to peace,
When a tumultuous nation raves,
Wild as the winds, and loud as waves.
5 Whole kingdoms shaken by the storm,
He settles in a peaceful form;
Mountains establish'd by his hand
Firm on their old foundations stand.
6 Behold his ensigns sweep the sky,
New comets blaze, and lightnings fly;
The Heathen lands with swift surprise,
From the bright horrors turn their eyes.
7 At his command the morning ray
Smiles in the East, and leads the day,
He guides the sun's declining wheels
Over the tops of western hills.
8 Seasons and times obey his voice;
The evening and the morn rejoice
To see the earth made soft with showers,
Laden with fruit, and drest in flowers.
9 'Tis from his watery stores on high,
He gives the thirsty ground supply;
He walks upon the clouds, and thence
Doth his enriching drops dispense.
10 The desert grows a fruitful field,
Abundant food the vallies yield;
The vallies shout with cheerful voice,
And neighboring hills repeat their joys.
11 The pasture smile in green array,
There lambs and larger cattle play;
The larger cattle and the lamb,
Each in his language speaks thy name.
12 Thy works pronounce thy power divine;
O'er every field thy glories shine;
Through every month thy gifts appear;
Great God, thy goodness crowns the year. Scripture: Psalm 65:5-13 Languages: English

Yea, good it is Thy praise to sing,
And all our sweetest music bring.
2 O Lord, with joy my heart expands
Before the wonders of Thy hands;
Great works, Jehovah, Thou hast wrought,
Exceeding deep Thy ev'ry thought;
A foolish man knows not their worth,
Nor he whose mind is of the earth.
3 When as the grass the wicked grow,
When sinners flourish here below,
Then is there endless ruin nigh,
But Thou, O Lord, art throned on high;
Thy foes shall fall before Thy might,
The wicked shall be put to flight.
4 Thou, Lord, hast high exalted me
With royal strength and dignity;
With Thy anointing I am blest,
Thy grace and favor on me rest;
I thus exult o'er all my foes,
O'er all that would my cause oppose.
5 The righteous man shall flourish well,
And in the house of God shall dwell;
He shall be like a goodly tree,
And all his life shall fruitful be;
For righteous is the Lord and just,
He is my Rock, in Him I trust. Scripture: Psalm 92 Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTINE
