Children of the Heavenly Father
Author: Carolina Sandell Berg, 1832-1903; Ernest W. Olson, 1870-1958 Hymnal: LUYH2013 #23 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Children of the heavenly Father
safely in his bosom gather;
nestling bird nor star in heaven
such a refuge e’er was given.
2 God his own shall tend and nourish;
in his holy courts they flourish.
From all evil powers he spares them;
in his mighty arms he bears them.
3 Neither life nor death shall ever
from the Lord his children sever;
for to them his grace revealing,
he turns sorrow into healing.
4 God has given, he has taken,
but his children ne’er forsaken;
his the loving purpose solely
to preserve them pure and holy. Topics: Children; Children's Hymns; Creation; God's Faithfulness; God As Father; God's Providence; Occasional Services Funeral/Witness to the Resurrection; Sorrow Scripture: Job 1:21 Languages: English Tune Title: TRYGGARE KAN INGEN VARA

God Moves in a Mysterious Way
Author: William Cowper Hymnal: LUYH2013 #25 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way
his wonders to perform.
He plants his footsteps in the sea
and rides upon the storm.
2 Deep in unfathomable mines
of never failing skill,
he treasures up his bright designs
and works his sovereign will.
3 You fearful saints, fresh courage take;
the clouds you so much dread
are big with mercy and shall break
in blessings on your head.
4 His purposes will ripen fast,
unfolding every hour.
The bud may have a bitter taste,
but sweet will be the flower.
5 Blind unbelief is sure to err
and scan his work in vain.
God is his own interpreter,
and he will make it plain. Topics: Church Year Lent; Church Year Maundy Thursday; Church Year Easter Vigil; Creation; Fear; God's Majesty; God's Providence; God Ways Of; Mercy; War and Revolution Scripture: Job 42:1-3 Languages: English Tune Title: DUNDEE

How Sweet Was the Garden, Fertile and Fair
Author: Carl P. Daw Jr., b. 1944 Hymnal: LUYH2013 #29 (2013) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Lyrics: 1 How sweet was the garden, fertile and fair,
the first and best home God gave to our care,
a paradise lavished on creatures of clay;
yet we were not willing to follow God’s way.
2 We freely could eat from all but one tree
(forbidden, perhaps, lest gods we might be?),
but tasting we grew not divine after all:
the fruit in our mouth turned from nectar to gall.
3 From dark, bitter fruit came forth a bright seed,
for God did not turn from us in our need;
the love that first formed us embraces us still
and woos us from wandering to follow God’s will.

What Adam's Disobedience Cost
Author: Fred Pratt Green; Carol Bechtel Hymnal: LUYH2013 #34 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 What Adam’s disobedience cost,
let Holy Scripture say:
ourselves estranged, an Eden lost,
and then a judgment day: each day a judgment day.
2 An ark of mercy rode the flood,
but we, where waters swirled,
rebuilt, impatient of the good,
another fallen world: an unrepentant world.
3 A little child is Adam’s heir,
is Adam’s hope and Lord,
sing joyful carols everywhere,
that Eden is restored: in Jesus is restored.
4 Regained is Adam’s blessedness:
the angels sheathe their swords;
in joyful carols all confess
the kingdom is the Lord’s: the glory is the Lord’s!
5 Renewed, restored we look ahead
to glimpse that glorious day
when in the new Jerusalem
all griefs will pass away. “Amen. Hallelujah!” Topics: Biblical Names and Places Eden; Church Year Christmas; Fall and the Human Condition; God's Judgment; Jesus Christ King Scripture: Genesis 3:1-8 Languages: English Tune Title: DETROIT
