O God, our help in ages past
Author: I. Watts (1674-1748) Hymnal: HTC #37 (1987) Scripture: Psalm 90 Lyrics: 1 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home:
2 Beneath the shadow of your throne
your people lived secure;
sufficient is your arm alone,
and our defence is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood,
or earth from darkness came,
from everlasting you are God,
to endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in your 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,
will bear us all away;
we pass forgotten, as a dream
dies with the dawning day.
6 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come
be our defence while life shall last,
and our eternal home! Topics: God, Father Gracious and Merciful; Pentecost 18 The Offering of Life Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANNE

5 Strong in the everlasting name,
and in my Father's care,

Sweet is the work, my God, my King
Author: I. Watts (1674-1748) Hymnal: HTC #377 (1987) Scripture: Psalm 92 Lyrics: 1 Sweet is the work, my God, my King,
to praise your name, give thanks and sing;
to show your love by morning light,
and talk of all your truth at night.
2 Sweet is the day, the first and best,
on which I share your sacred rest;
so let my heart in tune be found,
like David's harp of joyful sound.
3 My heart shall triumph in the Lord
and bless his works, and bless his word:
God's works of grace, how bright they shine —
how deep his counsels, how divine!
4 Soon I shall see and hear and know
all I desired on earth below;
and all my powers for God employ
in that eternal world of joy.

Come with all joy to sing to God
Author: Christopher Idle (born 1938) Hymnal: HTC #16 (1987) Scripture: Psalm 95 Lyrics: 1 Come with all joy to sing to God
our saving rock, the living Lord;
in glad thanksgiving seek his face
with songs of victory and grace.
2 In holiness and light arrayed
above all gods that we have made,
he is the one almighty king,
and his the glory that we sing.
3 The earth is his from east to west,
from ocean-floor to mountain-crest;
he made the sea and formed the lands,
he shaped the islands by his hands.
4 Come near to worship! Come with faith,
bow down to him who gives us breath:
God is our shepherd, he alone;
we are his people, all his own.
5 But if you hear God's voice today
do not reject what he will say;
when Israel wandered from God's path
they suffered forty years of wrath.
6 That generation went astray;
they did not want to know his way:
they put their saviour to the test,
and saw his power, but lost their rest.
7 So to the God of earth and heaven,
the Father, Spirit, Son, be given
praise now, as praise has ever been
and ever shall be praise — Amen!

the judge of all the earth is just;
holy and true are all his ways —
let every creature speak his praise!
4 God reigns! He reigns with glory crowned:
let Christians make a joyful sound!
And Christ is seated at his side:
the man of love, the crucified.
5 Come, make your needs, your burdens known:
he will present them at the throne;
and angel hosts are waiting there
his messages of love to bear.

he reigns, and life and death are yours;

to him who has great wonders done:
Love sits enthroned in ageless splendor —
come and adore the mighty one!
He has made known the great salvation
which all his friends with joy confess;
he has revealed to every nation
his everlasting righteousness.

let every instrument and voice
peal out the praise of grace abounding,
calling the whole world to rejoice.
Trumpets and organs, set in motion
such sounds as make the heavens ring;
all things that live in earth and ocean,
make music for your mighty king.
3 Rivers and seas and torrents roaring,
honour the Lord with wild acclaim;
mountains and stones look up adoring
and find a voice to praise his name.
Righteous, commanding, ever-glorious,
praises be his that never cease:
just is our God, whose truth victorious
establishes the world in peace. Topics: God's Church Praise and Adoration; Cantate Domino; The Creation; The Ascension of Christ Languages: English Tune Title: RENDEZ À DIEU
