Nearer, My God, to Thee

Author: Sarah F. Adams Hymnal: NCH1929 #266 (1929) Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.6.4 Person Name: Sarah F. Adams Lyrics: 1. Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! E'en though it be a cross That raiseth me; Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 2. Though like the wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone; Yet in my dreams I'd be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 3. There let the way appear, Steps unto heav'n: All that Thou sendest me, In mercy giv'n: Angels to beckon me, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 4. Then, with my waking tho'ts Bright with Thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 5. Or if on joyful wing, Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, Upward I fly, Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee!

The Spacious Firmamant On High

Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: NCH1929 #41 (1929) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Person Name: Joseph Addison First Line: The spacious firmament on high Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heav'ns, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim. Th' unwearied sun, from day to day, Does his Creator's pow'r display, And publishes to ev'ry land The work of an almighty hand. 2 Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale, And nightly, to the list'ning earth, Repeats the story of her birth; While all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole. 3 What tho' in solemn silence all Move round the dark terrestrial ball? What tho' no real voice nor sound Amid the radiant orbs be found? In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice, Forever singing as they shine, "The hand that made us is divine." Amen. Topics: God in Nature Languages: English Tune Title: CREATION

In our joys and in our sorrows, Days of toil and hours of ease, Still He calls, in cares and pleasures, "Christian, love Me more than these." 4.

Once in royal David's city Stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her Baby In a manger for His bed. Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little Child. 2. He came down to earth from heaven Who is God and Lord of all, And His shelter was a stable, And His cradle was a stall: With the poor, the mean, and lowly, Lived on earth our Savior holy. 3. Not in that poor lowly stable, With the oxen standing by, We shall see Him, but in heaven, Set at God's right hand on high; When like stars His children crowned All in white shall wait around.

For the Lord our God shall come, And shall take His harvest home; From His field shall in that day All offenses purge away; Give His angels charge at last In the fire the tares to cast, But the fruitful ears to store In His garner evermore. 4.

Thou knowest all: I lean my head; My wearied eyelids close; Content and glad awhile to tread The path our Father knows. 3 And Thou hast love me! All my heart With answ'ring love is stirred; And ev'ry grief and pain and smart Find healing in that Word. So now I lay me down to rest, As nightly shadows fall, And lean confiding on His breast Who knows and pities all. Topics: God In Nature Evening Languages: English Tune Title: STEBBINS
