The Spacious Firmament on High
Author: Joseph Addison (1672-1719) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #426 (1998) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Baruch 3:9-37, 4:1-4 Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high,
with all the blue ethereal sky,
and spangled heavens, a shining frame,
their great Original proclaim.
The unwearied sun from day to day
does his Creator's power display;
and publishes to every 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 listening earth
repeats the story of her birth:
whilst 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 though in solemn silence all
move round the dark terrestrial ball,
what though no real voice nor sound,
amid their radiant orbs be found;
in reason's ear they all rejoice,
and utter forth a glorious voice;
for ever singing as they shine,
"The hand that made us is divine." Topics: Creation; Creation Languages: English Tune Title: CREATION

City of God, Jerusalem
Author: Christopher M. Idle, b. 1938 Hymnal: Worship (4th ed.) #391 (2011) Meter: 8.6.8.7.8.6.12.8 Scripture: Baruch 4, 5 Lyrics: 1 City of God, Jerusalem,
Where he has set his love;
Church of Christ that is one on earth
With Jerusalem above:
Here as we walk this changing world
Our joys are mixed with tears,
But the day will be soon when the Savior returns
And his voice will banish our fears.
2 Sing and be glad, Jerusalem,
For God does not forget;
He who said he would come to save
Never failed his people yet.
Though we are tempted by despair
And daunted by defeat,
Our invincible Lord will be seen in his strength,
And his triumph will be complete.
3 Sorrow no more, Jerusalem,
Discard your rags of shame!
Take your crown as a gift from God
Who has called you by his name.
Put off your sin, and wear the robe
Of glory in its place;
You will shine in his light, you will share in his joy,
You will praise his wonderful grace.
4 Look all around, Jerusalem,
Survey from west to east;
Sons and daughters of God the king
Are invited to his feast.
Out of their exile far away
His scattered fam'ly come,
And the streets will resound with the songs of the saints
When the Savior welcomes us home. Topics: Advent Languages: English Tune Title: PURPOSE
