The works of the Lord are created in wisdom
Author: Christopher Idle (born 1938) Hymnal: HTC #26b (1987) Meter: 12.11.12.11 Lyrics: 1 The works of the Lord are created in wisdom,
we view the earth's wonders and call him to mind;
we hear what he says in the world we discover,
and God shows his glory in all that we find.
2 Not even the angels have ever been granted
to tell the full story of nature and grace;
but open to God is all human perception,
the mysteries of time and the secrets of space.
3 The sun every morning lights up his creation,
the moon marks the rhythm of months in their turn;
the glittering stars are arrayed in his honour,
adorning the years as they ceaselessly burn.
4 The wind is his breath and the clouds are his signal,
the rain and the snow are the robes of his choice;
the storm and the lightning, his watchmen and heralds,
the crash of the thunder, the sound of his voice.
5 The song is unfinished; how shall we complete it,
and where find the skill to perfect all his praise?
At work in all places, he cares for all peoples —
how great is the Lord to the end of all days! Topics: God, Father Creating and Sustaining; The Creation Languages: English Tune Title: STREETS OF LAREDO

Great the Lord in love and wisdom,
might and majesty divine!

knows and names them as they shine.

those who fear him find his mercies,
peace for pain and joy for woe;

spring to melt the snows of winter
till the waters flow again;
grass upon the mountain pastures,
golden valleys thick with grain.

peace and plenty crown your days;
love his laws, declare his judgments,
walk in all his words and ways;
he the Lord and we his children —

but gave the world his truth and grace
by his belovèd Son.

O God, our help in ages past
Author: I. Watts (1674-1748) Hymnal: HTC #37 (1987) 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.

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 Scripture: Psalm 90 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANNE

to our fathers in distress;
praise him still the same as ever,
slow to blame and swift to bless:
Alleluia, alleluia!
glorious in his faithfulness!
3 Father-like he tends and spares us;
all our hopes and fears he knows,
in his hands he gently bears us,
rescues us from all our foes,
Alleluia, alleluia!
widely as his mercy flows.

you behold him face to face;
sun and moon, bow down before him,
praise him, all in time and space:
