Flower Song
Author: E. M. Ollerenshaw Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: From meadow, and from garden Lyrics: 1 From meadow, and from garden
We cull the flow'rs of earth,
And bring them to the footstool
Of him who gave them birth.
That by their gentle fragrance,
Their colors pure and bright,
They may show forth the praises
Of Christ, our Lord and Light.
2 Yet for a tend'rer service
These flow'rets we prepare;
For worn and weary suff'rers
As tokens of God's care.
As messengers of comfort,
When faith and hope are dim,
For he who clothes the lilies,
Bids them still trust in him.
3 These earthly flow'rs fading
Yet are they emblems sweet
Of everlasting flowers,
For heaven's high service meet;
Of love, and hope, and patience,
Of faith, and joyful praise;
Oh, Saviour, make their fragrance ours
E'en in our youthful days. Used With Tune: [From meadow, and from garden]
Flower Song
Forgive Them, O My Father
Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 34 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Forgive them, O my Father,
They know not what they do.
The Savior spoke in anguish,
As sharp iron nails went through.
No word of anger spoke He
To them that shed His blood,
But prayer and tenderest pity
Large as the love of God.
2. For me was that compassion,
For me that tender care;
I need His wide forgiveness
As much as any there.
It was my pride and hardness
That hung Him on the tree;
Those cruel nails, O Savior,
Were driven in by me.
3. And often I have slighted
Thy gentle voice that said:
Forgive me too, Lord Jesus,
I knew not what I did.
O depth of sweet compassion!
O love divine and true!
Save Thou the souls that slight Thee,
And know not what they do. Used With Tune: VALET WILL ICH DIR GEBEN Text Sources: Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1875, alt.
Forgive Them, O My Father
In Holy Contemplation
Author: William Cowper Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 20 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In holy contemplation
We sweetly now pursue
The theme of God's salvation,
And find it ever new.
Set free from present sorrow,
We cheerfully can say,
Let the unknown tomorrow
Bring with it what it may.
2 It can bring with it nothing,
But He will bear us through;
Who gives the lilies clothing
Will clothe His people too.
Beneath the spreading heavens
No creature but is fed;
And He who feeds the ravens
Will give His children bread.
3 Though vine nor fig tree neither
Their wonted fruit should bear,
Though all the field should wither,
Nor flocks nor herds be there,
God still the same abiding,
His praise shall tune my voice;
For while in Him confiding,
I cannot but rejoice.
Amen.

In Holy Contemplation
My Inmost Heart Now Raises
Author: Johannes Mathesius Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My inmost heart now raises,
In this fair morning hour,
A song of thankful praises
To Thine almighty pow'r,
To honor and adore Thee,
O God, upon Thy throne,
I bring my praise before Thee,
Thro' Christ, Thine only Son.
2 For Thou from me hast warded
All perils of the night;
From ev'ry harm hast guarded
My soul till morning's light.
O Saviour, have compassion,
Humbly To Thee I cry:
And pardon my transgression:
Have mercy, Lord Most High!
3 And shield me from all evil,
O gracious God, this day,
From sin, and from the devil,
From shame and from dismay,
From water's devastation,
From fire's consuming breath,
From need and consternation,
From evil, sudden death.
4 Amen! I say, not fearing
That God rejects my prayer;
I doubt not He is hearing
And granting me His care.
I look not long behind me,
But I put forth my hands
And ply the task assigned me
By God, as He commands.
Amen.

The heavens declare Thy glory
Author: T. R. Birks, 1874 Appears in 58 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The heavens declare Thy glory,
The firmament Thy power;
Day unto day the story
Repeats from hour to hour;
Night unto night replying,
Proclaims in every land,
O Lord, with voice undying,
The wonders of Thy hand.
2 The sun with royal splendor
Goes forth to chant Thy praise;
And moonbeams soft and tender
Their gentler anthem raise;
O’er every tribe and nation
That music strange is poured;
The song of all creation,
To Thee, creation’s Lord.
3 How perfect, just, and holy
The precepts Thou hast given;
Still making wise the lowly,
They lift the thoughts to heaven;
How pure, how soul-restoring
Thy gospel’s heavenly ray,
A brighter radiance pouring
Than noon of brightest day!
4 Thy statutes, Lord, with gladness
Rejoice the humble heart;
And guilty fear and sadness
From contrite souls depart:
Thy word hath richer treasure
Than dwells within the mine,
And sweetness beyond measure
Attends Thy voice divine.
5 O who can make confession
Of every secret sin;
Or keep from all transgression
His spirit pure within?
But let me never boldly
From Thy commands depart,
Or render to Thee coldly
The service of my heart.
6 All heaven on high rejoices
To do its Maker’s will;
The stars with solemn voices
Resound Thy praises still;
So let my whole behavior,
Thoughts, words, and actions be,
O Lord, my Strength, my Savior,
One ceaseless song to Thee. Topics: Worship in General; Worship in General Prayer and Praise; Worship in General Prayer and Praise; Creation; Praise and Prayer Used With Tune: [The heavens declare Thy glory]
