Looking Back, O God, We Wonder

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Looking back, O God, we wonder of that time in history Lyrics: Looking back, O God, we wonder of that time in history When the early settlers gathered, building this community. Children did their chores and played here; men and women worked the land. Sundays, Lord, they knelt and prayed here, seeking your protecting hand. Looking to your love, we worship as your people long have done, Sharing bread and Word and friendship, singing praises to your Son. Bricks of old are such a treasure, well-worn pews proclaim our past; But your love beyond all measure is the treasure that will last. Looking out, we see our neighbors, and—in each one—Jesus’ face. God, we offer you our labors so that all will know your grace. As we witness all around us, as we welcome strangers in, As we help those lost and homeless, your church welcomes you again. Looking on to where we’re going, God, we wonder what will be; Yet we trust your Spirit, knowing you will guide our ministry. You give each new generation ways to praise you, work to do; God, be with this congregation as we keep on serving you.

It Is Good To Praise Th' Almighty

Author: Susan H. Peterson Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: It is good to praise th’ Almighty Lyrics: 1 It is good to praise th’Almighty And make music to Your name; To proclaim Your love each morning, And each night Your faithful reign. Add the music of the lyre, Let the harp lift up its voice. For You make me glad, my Father, At Your works I now rejoice. 2 O how great your works, O Lord God, How profound Your thoughts toward man. Senseless men can never fathom, Fools can never understand That although the wicked flourish, Like the grass that sprouts in spring, They will be destroyed forever, When You come to judge all things. 3 You, O Lord, exalted ever Over all Your enemies, Some day they will surely perish, Scattered and brought to their knees. But you’ve made me strong and sturdy, You’ve refreshed me by Your care. I have seen my adversaries Vanquished and left in despair. 4 See the righteous, like a palm tree, Or a cedar towering high, Planted in the Lord’s own garden, They will flourish and not die. In old age they’ll still be fruitful, Vital, stalwart, and robust, Saying e’er, "The Lord is upright, He’s my rock, in Him I trust." Used With Tune: HYMN TO JOY

Ekforfandu tristajn nubojn, pek-obskuron pelu for! Scio anstataŭu dubojn : iluminu nin, Sinjor'! 2. Viaj verkoj vin ĉirkaŭas ĝoje : tero kaj ĉiel' Vin spegulas, ade laŭdas ĉiu stelo kaj anĝel'. Kampo, bosko, valo, monto, flora bedo, ŝaŭma ond', Ĉanta birdo, akva fonto — kun ni laŭdas tuta mond'. 3. Ĉiam donas kaj pardonas, benas kaj benatas vi. Ĝoj-naskanto, ni vin konas, fonto de l' viv-harmoni'. Patras Dio, fratas Kristo : ĉies amon estras Di'. Nin amigu, Instruisto! Levu nin al ĝoj' ĉe vi! 4. Kantu, homoj, dum laŭdegas la stelaro de l' maten': Patra amo ĉion regas, homojn ligas am-katen'. Kantadante marŝu kune; ni la venkon gajnis jam! Ĝojmuziko gvidas sunen, himno de triumfa Am'!
