Now Thank We All Our God

Author: Martin Rinckart; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: WinS1996 #51 (1996) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Lyrics: 1 Now thank we all our God With heart and hands and voices, Who wondrous things hath done, In whom the world rejoices; Who, from our mother's arms, Hath blessed us on our way With countless gifts of love, And still is ours today. 2 O may this bounteous God Through all our life be near us, With ever joyful hearts And blessed peace to cheer us; And keep us in God's grace, And guide us when perplexed, And free us from all ills In this world and the next. 3 All praise and thanks to God The Father now be given, The Son, and him who reigns With them in highest heaven; The one eternal God, Whom earth and heaven adore; For thus it was, is now, And shall be evermore.

There's a Voice in the Wilderness

Author: James Lewis Milligan Hymnal: WinS1996 #59 (1996) First Line: There's a voice in the wilderness crying Lyrics: 1 There’s a voice in the wilderness crying, A call from the ways untrod: Prepare in the desert a highway, A highway for our God! The valleys shall be exalted, The lofty hills brought low; Make straight all the crooked places, Where the Lord our God may go! 2 O Zion, that bringest good tidings, Get thee up to the heights and sing! Proclaim to a desolate people The coming of their King. Like the flow'rs of the field they perish, The works of men decay, The power and pomp of nations Shall pass like a dream away. 3 But the word of our God endureth, The arm of the Lord is strong; He stands in the midst of nations, And he will right the wrong. He shall feed his flock like a shepherd, And fold the lambs to his breast; In pastures of peace he’ll lead them, And give to the weary rest.
