Lord of all being, throned afar
Author: Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #125 (2005) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Numbers 6:25 Lyrics: 1 Lord of all being, throned afar,
thy glory flames from sun and star;
centre and soul of every sphere,
yet to each loving heart how near!
2 Sun of our life, thy quickening ray
sheds on our path the glow of day;
Star of our hope, thy softened light
cheers the long watches of the night.
3 Our midnight is thy smile withdrawn,
our noontide is thy gracious dawn,
our rainbow arch thy mercy's sign;
all, save the clouds of sin, are thine.
3 Lord of all life, below, above,
whose light is truth, whose warmth is love,
before thy ever-blazing throne
we ask no lustre of our own.
4 Grant us thy truth to make us free,
and kindling hearts that burn for thee,
till all thy living altars claim
one holy light, one heavenly flame. Topics: God in majesty; Light Languages: English Tune Title: OMBERSLEY

with God at my right hand?

my soul with courage wait;
his truth my reassurance
when faint and desolate;
his might my heart shall strengthen,
his love my joy increase;
mercy my days shall lengthen,
the Lord will give me peace.

over land and sea;
happy light is flowing,

swell the psalm of praise.
2 See God's mercy streaming
over all the world,
and his banner gleaming,
everywhere unfurled.
Broad and deep and glorious,
as the heaven above,
shines in might victorious
his eternal love.
3 Lord, upon our blindness
your pure radiance pour;
for your loving-kindness
make us love you more.
And, when clouds are drifting
dark across the sky,
then, the veil uplifting,
Father, still be nigh.
4 We will never doubt you,
though you veil your light;
life is dark without you;
death with you is bright.
Light of light, shine o'er us
on our pilgrim way;
still go on before us,
to the endless day. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in times and seasons; Death and Bereavement; Light; Providence; Summer Languages: English Tune Title: RUTH

On Jordan's Bank the Baptist's Cry
Author: Charles Coffin; John Chandler Hymnal: Glory to God #96 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Numbers 6:25 Lyrics: 1 On Jordan’s bank the Baptist’s cry
announces that the Lord is nigh;
awake and hearken, for he brings
glad tidings of the King of kings!
2 Then cleansed be every life from sin;
make straight the way for God within,
and let us all our hearts prepare
for Christ to come and enter there.
3 We hail you as our Savior, Lord,
our refuge and our great reward;
without your grace we waste away
like flowers that wither and decay.
4 Stretch forth your hand; our health restore,
and make us rise to fall no more.
O let your face upon us shine
and fill the world with love divine.

We Gather Together to Ask the Lord's Blessing
Author: Theodore Baker Hymnal: The Worshipbook #624 (1972) Meter: 12.11.12.11 Scripture: Numbers 6:24 Lyrics: 1 We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing;
He chastens and hastens his will to make known;
The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing,
Sing praises to his name; he forgets not his own.
2 Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,
Ordaining, maintaining his kingdom always;
So from the beginning the fight we were winning;
You, Lord, were at our side; to you be all praise.
3 We all do extol you, O leader triumphant,
And pray that you still our defender will be.
Let your congregation escape tribulation.
Your name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!
Amen. Topics: Service for the Lord's Day Opening of Worship; Acts of the Church Confirmation; Civil Year Thanksgiving Day Tune Title: KREMSER

show the brightness of your face;
shine upon us, Saviour, shine;
fill your church with light divine;
and your saving health extend
unto earth's remotest end.
2 Let the people praise you, Lord;
be by all that live adored;
let the nations shout and sing
glory to their Saviour King;
at your feet their tribute pay,
and your holy will obey.
3 Let the people praise you, Lord;
earth shall then its fruits afford,
God to us all blessings give,
we to God devoted live;
all below and all above
one in joy and light and love.
