O Lord of heaven and earth and sea

Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Hymnal: CPAM2000 #540b (2000) Meter: 8.8.8.4 Scripture: 1 Chronicles 29:14 Lyrics: 1 O Lord of heaven and earth and sea, to thee all praise and glory be. How shall we show our love to thee who givest all? 2 The golden sunshine, vernal air, sweet flowers and fruit, thy love declare; when harvests ripen, thou art there, who givest all. 3 For peaceful homes, and healthful days, for all the blessings earth displays, we owe thee thankfulness and praise, who givest all. 4 Thou didst not spare thine only Son, but gav'st him for a world undone, and freely with that blessèd One thou givest all. 5 Thou giv'st the Holy Spirit's dower, Spirit of life and love and power, and dost his sevenfold graces shower upon us all. 6 For souls redeemed, for sins forgiven, for means of grace and hopes of heaven, Father, what can to thee be given, who givest all? 7 We lose what on ourselves we spend, we have as treasure without end whatever, Lord, to thee we lend, who givest all. 8 To thee, from whom we all derive our life, our gifts, our power to give: O may we ever with thee live, who givest all.

Lyte, 1793-1847 Hymnal: CPAM2000 #10 (2000) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Scripture: 1 Chronicles 29:15 Lyrics: 1 Abide with me; fast falls the eventide: the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide! when other helpers fail, and comforts flee, help of the helpless, O abide with me. 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; change and decay in all around I see; O thou who changest not, abide with me. 3 I need thy presence every passing hour; what but thy grace can foil the tempter's power? who like thyself my guide and stay can be? through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me. 4 I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless; ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if thou abide with me. 5 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes; shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies: Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!

In the bleak midwinter

Author: Christina Rossetti, 1830-1894 Hymnal: CPAM2000 #55 (2000) Meter: Irregular Scripture: 2 Chronicles 6:18 Lyrics: 1 In the bleak midwinter frosty wind made moan, earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone; snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow, in the bleak midwinter long ago. 2 Our God, heaven cannot hold him nor earth sustain; heaven and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign: in the bleak midwinter a stable-place sufficed the Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ. 3 Enough for him whom cherubim worship night and day, a breastful of milk and a mangerful of hay; enough for him whom angels fall down before, the ox and ass and camel which adore. 4 Angels and archangels may have gathered there, cherubim and seraphim thronged the air, but only his mother in her maiden bliss, worshiped the Belovèd with a kiss. 5 What can I give him, poor as I am? if I were a shepherd I would bring a lamb, if I were a wise man I would do my part; yet what I can I give him, give my heart.
