The stars declare his glory

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Hymnal: EH1982 #431 (1985) Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 19 Lyrics: 1 The stars declare his glory; the vault of heaven springs mute witness of the Master's hand in all created things, and through the silences of space their soundless music sings. 2 The dawn returns in splendor, the heavens burn and blaze, the rising sun renews the race that measures all our days, and writes in fire across the skies God's majesty and praise. 3 So shine the Lord's commandments to make the simple wise; more sweet than honey to the taste, more rich than any prize, a law of love within our hearts, a light before our eyes. 4 So order too this life of mine, direct it all my days; the meditations of my heart be innocence and praise, my rock, and my redeeming Lord, in all my words and ways.

The spacious firmament on high

Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Hymnal: EH1982 #409 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 19:1-6 Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, with all the blue ethereal sky, and spangled heavens, a shining frame, their great Original proclaim. The unwearied sun from day to day does his Creator's power display; and publishes to every land the work of an almighty hand. 2 Soon as the evening shades prevail, the moon takes up the wondrous tale, and nightly to the listening earth repeats the story of her birth: whilst all the stars that round her burn, and all the planets in their turn, confirm the tidings, as they roll and spread the truth from pole to pole. 3 What though in solemn silence all move round the dark terrestrial ball? What though no real voice nor sound amid their radiant orbs be found? In reason's ear they all rejoice, and utter forth a glorious voice; for ever singing as they shine, "The hand that made us is divine." Topics: Praise to God Languages: English Tune Title: CREATION

My Shepherd will supply my need

Thy hand, in sight of all my foes, doth still my table spread; my cup with blessings overflows, thy oil anoints my head. 3 The sure provisions of my God attend me all my days; oh, may thy house be mine abode and all my work be praise. There would I find a settled rest, while others go and come; no more a stranger or a guest, but like a child at home. Topics: The Christian Life Languages: English Tune Title: RESIGNATION

A mighty fortress is our God

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Frederic Henry Hedge, 1805-1890 Hymnal: EH1982 #687 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Scripture: Psalm 46 Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing; our helper he amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing: for still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe; his craft and power are great, and, armed with cruel hate, on earth is not his equal. 2 Did we in our strength confide, our striving would be losing; were not the right man on our side, the man of God's own choosing: dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is he; Lord Sabaoth his Name, from age to age the same, and he must win the battle. 3 And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us; we will not fear, for God hath willed his truth to triumph through us; the prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for him; his rage we can endure, for lo! his doom is sure, one little word shall fell him. 4 That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth; the Spirit and the gifts are ours through him who with us sideth: let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also; the body they may kill: God's truth abideth still, his kingdom is for ever.

Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: EH1982 #616 (1985) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Scripture: Psalm 72 Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed, great David's greater Son! Hail, in the time appointed, his reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, to set the captive free; to take away transgression, and rule in equity. 2 He comes with succor speedy to those who suffer wrong, to help the poor and needy, and bid the weak be strong; to give them songs for sighing, their darkness turn to light, whose souls, condemned and dying, were precious in his sight. 3 He shall come down like showers upon the fruitful earth, and love, joy, hope, like flowers, spring in his path to birth; before him on the mountains shall peace, the herald, go; and righteousness in fountains from hill to valley flow. 4 Kings shall bow down before him, and gold and incense bring; all nations shall adore him, his praise all people sing; to him shall prayer unceasing and daily vows ascend; his kingdom still increasing, a kingdom without end. 5 O'er every foe victorious, he on his throne shall rest; from age to age more glorious, all blessing and all blest; the tide of time shall never his covenant remove; his Name shall stand for ever, his changeless Name of Love.
