Think of a world without any flowers

Author: Doreen E. Newport (b. 1927) Hymnal: HGSP2008 #155 (2008) Meter: 10.9.10.9 Lyrics: 1 Think of a world without any flowers, think of a world without any trees, think of a sky without any sunshine, think of the air without any breeze. We thank you, Lord, for flowers and trees and sunshine, we thank you, Lord, and praise your holy name. 2 Think of the world without any animals, think of a field without any herd, think of a stream without any fishes, think of a dawn without any bird. We thank you, Lord, for all your living creatures, we thank you, Lord, and praise your holy name. 3 Think of a world without any people, think of a street with no-one living there, think of a town without any houses, no-one to love and nobody to care. We thank you, Lord, for families and friendships, we thank you, Lord, and praise your holy name.

God moves in a mysterious way

Author: William Cowper (1731-1800) Hymnal: HGSP2008 #158 (2008) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way his wonders to perform: he plants his footsteps in the sea, and rides upon the storm. 2 Deep in unfathomable mines, with never-failing skill, he treasures up his bright designs, and works his sovereign will. 3 You fearful saints, fresh courage take; the clouds you so much dread are big with mercy, and shall break in blessings on your head. 4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, but trust him for his grace; behind a frowning providence he hides a smiling face. 5 Blind unbelief is sure to err, and scan his work in vain; God is his own interpreter, and he will make it plain.

Praise, my soul, the King of heaven

Author: Henry Francis Lyte (1793-1847) Hymnal: HGSP2008 #160 (2008) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.7 Lyrics: 1 Praise, my soul, the King of heaven; to his feet thy tribute bring; ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven, who like me his praise should sing? Praise him! Praise him! Praise the everlasting King. 2 Praise him for his grace and favour to our fathers in distress; praise him, still the same for ever, slow to chide, and swift to bless: Praise him! Praise him! glorious in his faithfulness. 3 Father-like he tends and spares us; well our feeble frame he knows; in his hands he gently bears us, rescues us from all our foes: Praise him! Praise him! widely as his mercy flows. 4 Frail as summer's flower we flourish; blows the wind and it is gone; but while mortals rise and perish God endures unchanging on. Praise him! Praise him! Praise the high eternal One. 5 Angels, help us to adore him, ye behold him face to face; sun and moon, bow down before him, dwellers all in time and space: Praise him! Praise him! Praise with us the God of grace.

O God, our help in ages past

Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Hymnal: HGSP2008 #161 (2008) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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 Under the shadow of thy throne, thy saints have dwelt secure; sufficient is thine arm alone, and our defence 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 our years 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 guard while troubles last, and our eternal home.

I all on earth forsake, its wisdom, fame and power, and him my only portion make, my shield and tower. 3 He by himself has sworn, I on his oath depend: I shall, on eagle's wings upborne, to heaven ascend; I shall behold his face, I shall his power adore and sing the wonders of his grace for evermore. 4 There dwells the Lord our King, the Lord our Righteousness, triumphant o'er the world and sin, the Prince of Peace; on Zion's sacred height his kingdom he maintains, and glorious with his saints in light for ever reigns. 5 The whole triumphant host give thanks to God on high; 'Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!' they ever cry. Hail, Abraham's God, and mine!– I join the heavenly praise– all might and majesty are thine, through endless days.
