God of Gods, We Sound His Praises
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.8.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of gods, we sound his praises,
highest heav'n its homage brings;
earth and all creation raises
glory to the King of kings.
Holy, holy, holy, name him,
Lord of all his hosts proclaim him,
to the everlasting Father
every tongue in triumph sings.
2 Christians in their hearts enthrone him,
tell his praises wide abroad;
prophets, priests, apostles own him
martyrs' crown and saints' reward.
Three-in-one his glory sharing,
earth and heav'n his praise declaring,
praise the high majestic Father,
praise the everlasting Lord.
3 Hail the Christ, the King of glory,
he whose praise the angels cry,
born to share our human story,
love and labor, grieve and die.
By his cross his work completed,
sinners ransomed, death defeated,
in the glory of the Father
Christ ascended reigns on high.
4 Lord, we look for your returning,
teach us so to walk your ways,
hearts and minds your will discerning,
lives alight with joy and praise.
In your love and care enfold us,
by your constancy uphold us,
may your mercy, Lord and Father,
keep us now and all our days.

Twinkle in the midnight sky?
Can you count the clouds so lightly
O’er the meadows floating by?
God, the Lord, doth mark their number,
With his eyes that never slumber;
He hath made them every one.
2 Do you know how many children
Rise each morning blithe and gay?
Can you count their jolly voices,
Singing sweetly day by day?
God hears all the happy voices,
In their pretty songs rejoices;
And He loves them, every one.

a hopeful prayer for peace on earth,
an evergreen is like a prayer
that brightens every season.

that sings in every season.
An evergreen is like a song
that sings in every season.
A song of love to calm our fear,
a song of life returning here,
an evergreen is like a song
that sings in every season.
3 An evergreen is like a gift
that brightens every season.
An evergreen is like a gift
that brightens every season.
A gift of green warmed by the sun
a gift of joy for everyone,
an evergreen is like a gift
that brightens every season.

Small Church Music
Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.8.7 Editors: Carolina Sandell Description:
The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling
to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid
1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of
this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset
of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano
with organ versions. All recordings are in MP3 format.
Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per
month.
The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse.
Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) (see http://scm-audacity.weebly.com for more information) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo
and pitch to suit their local needs.
Copyright notice: Rev. Clyde McLennan, performer in this collection, has assigned his performer rights in this collection to Hymnary.org. Non-commercial use of these recordings is permitted. For permission to use them for any other purposes, please contact manager@hymnary.org.
