The stars declare his glory
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The stars declare his glory;
the vault of heaven springs
mute witness of the Master's hand
in all created things,
and through the silences of space
their soundless music sings.
2 The dawn returns in splendour,
the heavens burn and blaze,
the rising sun renews the race
that measures all our days,
and writes in fire across the skies
God's majesty and praise.
3 So shine the Lord's commandments
to make the simple wise;
more sweet than honey to the taste,
more rich than any prize,
a law of love within our hearts,
a light before our eyes.
4 So order too this life of mine,
direct it all my days;
the meditations of my heart
be innocence and praise,
my rock, and my redeeming Lord,
in all my words and ways. Topics: Creation; Purity Of Heart; Scripture Scripture: Psalm 19 Used With Tune: GIBSON

Take Us as We Are, O God
Author: Carl P. Daw Jr, b. 1944 Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Take us as we are, O God,
and claim us as your own.
As once you chose to tell your love
in human flesh and bone,
so let our lives be used
to make your saving purpose known.
2 Bless us for your service, Lord;
no power we devise
will ever give us strength enough
or make us truly wise,
yet by your promise we can know
the peace your grace supplies.
3 Break us open to disclose
how brokenness can heal,
wherever broken loaves suffice
to give a crowd a meal
and graves break open to release
new life from death’s dread seal.
4 Give us to the world you love
as light and salt and yeast,
that we may nourish in your name
the last, the lost, the least,
until at length you call us all
to your unending feast.
