God's Glory Fills the Heavens (Psalm 19)
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Hymnal: Glory to God #690 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Glory to God First Line: God's glory fills the heavens with hymns Lyrics: 1 God’s glory fills the heavens with hymns;
the domed sky bears the Maker’s mark;
new praises sound from day to day
and echo through the knowing dark.
Without a word their songs roll on;
into all lands their voices run.
And with a champion’s strength and grace
from farthest heaven comes forth the sun.
2 God’s perfect law revives the soul;
its precepts make the simple wise;
its just commands rejoice the heart;
its truth gives light unto the eyes.
Forever shall this law endure:
unblemished, righteous, true, complete.
No gold was ever found so fine,
no honey in the comb more sweet.
3 God’s servant may I ever be:
this world my joy, that word my guide.
O cleanse me, Lord, from secret sin:
deliver me from selfish pride.
Accept my thoughts and words and deeds:
let them find favor in your sight.
For you alone can make me whole,
O Lord, my refuge and my might.

New songs thro'out the world shall ring:
Christ by a road before untrod,
ascendeth to the throne of God.
The holy apostolic band
upon the Mount of Olives stand,
and with the virgin mother see
their Lord's resplendent majesty.
2 To them the angels, drawing nigh;
"Why stand and gaze upon the sky?
This is the Saviour," thus they say;
"this is his noble triumph day.
Again shall ye behold him so
as ye today have seen him go:
in glorious pomp ascending high
up to the portals of the sky."
3 O grant us thitherward to tend,
and with unwearied hearts ascend
toward thy kingdom's throne, where thou,
as is our faith, art seated now.
Be thou our joy and strong defense,
who art our future recompense:
so shall the light that springs from thee
be ours through all eternity.

God's glory fills the heavens
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., 1944 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #10 (1997) Hymnal Title: The Book of Praise First Line: God's glory fills the heavens with hymns Lyrics: 1 God’s glory fills the heavens with hymns,
the domed sky bears the Maker’s mark;
new praises sound from day to day
and echo through the knowing dark.
Without a word their songs roll on,
into all lands their voices run.
And with a champion’s strength and grace
from farthest heaven comes forth the sun.
2 God’s perfect law revives the soul;
its precepts make the simple wise.
its just commands rejoice the heart;
its truth gives light unto the eyes.
Forever shall this law endure:
unblemished, righteous, true, complete.
No gold was ever found so fine,
no honey in the comb more sweet.
3 God’s servant may I ever be:
this world my joy, that word my guide.
Oh cleanse me, Lord, from secret sin;
deliver me from selfish pride.
Accept my thoughts and words and deeds;
let them find favour in your sight.
For you alone can make me whole,
O Lord, my refuge and my might. Topics: God Refuge and Strength; God Creator and Ruler; Healing / Health; Law; Lent; Metrical Psalms; Music / Singing / Song; Praise; Servant / Service; Sin / Sinner; Truth; Wisdom Scripture: Psalm 19 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PATRICK

O Lord, You Gave Your Servant John
Author: Joy F. Patterson Hymnal: The Presbyterian Hymnal #431 (1990) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Presbyterian Hymnal Lyrics: 1 O Lord, You gave Your servant John
A vision of the world to come:
A radiant city filled with light,
Where You with us will make Your home;
Where neither grief nor pain shall dwell,
Since former things have passed away,
And where they need no sun nor moon;
Your glory lights eternal day.
2 Our cities, Lord, wear shrouds of pain;
Beneath our gleaming towers of wealth
The homeless crouch in rain and snow,
The poor cry out for strength and health.
Youth's hope is dimmed by ignorance;
Unwilling workers idled stand;
Indifference walks unheeding by
As hunger stretches out its hand.
3 Come, Lord, make real John's vision fair;
Come, dwell with us, make all things new;
We try in vain to save our world
Unless our help shall come from You.
Come, strengthen us to live in love;
Bid hatred, greed, injustice cease.
Your glory all the light we need,
Let all our cities shine forth peace. Scripture: Revelation 21 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PATRICK'S BREASTPLATE
