The Sky Can Still Remember

Author: Phillips Brooks Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The sky can still remember The earliest Christmas morn, When in the cold December The Saviour Christ was born. No star unfolds its glory, No trumpet wind is blown, But tells the Christmas story In music of its own. 2 O never-failing splendor! O never-silent song! Still keep the green earth tender, Still keep the gray earth strong, Still keep the brave earth dreaming Of deeds that shall be done, While children’s lives come streaming Like sunbeams from the sun. 3 O angels sweet and splendid, Throng in our hearts and sing The wonders which attended The coming of the King. Till we too, boldly pressing Where once the shepherds trod, Climb Bethlehem’s Hill of Blessing, And find the Son of God. Amen. Topics: Christmas Used With Tune: CHENIES

O Lord, our strength in weakness

Author: Bp. C. Wordsworth Meter: 7.6 D Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, our strength in weakness, We pray to Thee for grace; For power to fight the battle, For speed to run the race; When Thy baptismal waters Were poured upon our brow, We then were made Thy children, And pledged our earliest vow; 2 We then were sealed and hallowed By Thy life-giving word; Were made the Spirit's temple, And members of the Lord; With His own blood He bought us, And made the purchase sure; His are we: may He keep us Sober, and chaste, and pure. 3 Conformed to His own likeness May we so live and die, That in the grave our bodies In holy peace may lie; And at the resurrection Forth from those graves may spring, Like to the glorious body Of Christ, our Lord and King. 4 The pure in heart are blessèd, For they shall see the Lord Forever and forever By seraphim adored; And they shall drink the pleasures, Such as no tongue can tell, From the clear crystal river, And life's eternal well. Amen. Topics: Temperance; Temperance Used With Tune: [O Lord, our strength in weakness]

Most Fervent Thanks I Render

Author: H. Brueckner Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Most fervent thanks I render To Thee, my God and Lord, Who in Thy loving-kindness Dost gracious help afford: When night had spread her pinions Far over land and sea, I was secure from danger; Thy mercy shielded me. 2 All praise to Thee, O Father, Who in the gloom of night Dost grant me Thy protection And fill my soul with light. Pray help me do Thy bidding Thro'out this new-born day; Make Thou my will submissive And keep me in Thy way. 3 Vouchsafe to me Thy guidance Lest I should go astray; Let not the foe beguile me, Be Thou my staff and stay. Sustain me by Thy goodness, Thy mercy let me share; For Satan cannot harm me While I enjoy Thy care. 4 To Thine own praise and glory, Let me conclude this day; May I to Thee be faithful; O Lord, for this I pray. Shield both my soul and body, My house and native land; For all Thy love has given Is safe when in Thy hand. 5 To Thee be laud and honor, Thy name be blest for aye, Extend, O Lord, Thy kingdom Let grace and peace hold sway. Against the wiles of Satan Thy trusty weapons lend; In mercy grant Thy blessing, Be with us to the end. Amen. Topics: Morning; Processionals and Recessionals Morning Used With Tune: CHENIES
