who reigns enthroned above,
the Ancient of Eternal Days,
the God of love!
The Lord, the great I AM,
by earth and heaven confessed,
we bow before your holy name,
forever blest.
2 Your spirit still flows free,
high surging where it will.
In prophet's word you spoke of old
and you speak still.
Established is your law,
and changeless it shall stand,
deep writ upon the human heart
by your strong hand.
3 Your goodly land we seek,
with peace and plenty blest,
a land of sacred liberty
and Sabbath rest.
There milk and honey flow,
and oil and wine abound,
and trees of life forever grow
with mercy crowned.
4 You have eternal life
implanted in the soul;
your love shall be our strength and stay,
while ages roll.
We praise you, living God!
We praise your holy name:
the first, the last, beyond all thought,
and still the same!

sheds on our path the glow of day;
Star of our hope, thy softened light
cheers the long watches of the night.

our noontide is thy gracious dawn,
our rainbow arch thy mercy's sign;
all, save the clouds of sin, are thine.

whose light is truth, whose warmth is love,
before thy ever-blazing throne
we ask no lustre of our own.

till all thy living altars claim
one holy light, one heavenly flame. Topics: God in majesty; Light Used With Tune: OMBERSLEY

The Day Thou Gavest, Lord, Is Ended
Author: John Ellerton Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 282 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 145:13 First Line: The day thou gavest, Lord is ended Lyrics: 1 The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended;
the darkness falls at thy behest.
To thee our morning hymns ascended;
thy praise shall hallow now our rest.
2 We thank thee that thy church unsleeping,
while earth rolls onward into light,
through all the world a watch is keeping
and rests not now by day or night.
3 As o’er each continent and island
the dawn leads on another day,
the voice of prayer is never silent,
nor dies the song of praise away.
4 The sun that bids us rest is waking
thy children ‘neath the western sky,
and hour by hour fresh lips are making
thy wondrous doings heard on high.
5 So be it, Lord; thy throne shall never,
like earth's proud empires, pass away;
thy kingdom stands, and grows forever
until there dawns thy glorious day.

O Love Divine, That Stooped to Share
Author: Oliver Wendell Holmes Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 274 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 145:18 Lyrics: 1 O Love divine, that stooped to share
Our sharpest pang, our bitterest tear,
On Thee we cast each earth-born care;
We smile at pain while Thou art near.
2 Though long the weary way we tread,
And sorrow crown each lingering year,
No path we shun, no darkness dread,
Our hearts still whispering, Thou art near.
3 When drooping pleasure turns to grief,
And trembling faith is turned to fear,
The murmuring wind, the quivering leaf,
Shall softly tell us, Thou art near.
4 On Thee we fling our burdening woe,
O Love divine, forever dear,
Content to suffer, while we know,
Living and dying, Thou art near.
Amen. Topics: Contentment; God Presence; Trust; God the Father His Presence Used With Tune: ST. CRISPIN

Summer suns are glowing
Author: William Walsham How (1823-1897) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 240 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 145:8-13 Lyrics: 1 Summer suns are glowing
over land and sea;
happy light is flowing,
bountiful and free.
Everything rejoices
in the mellow rays;
all earth's thousand voices
swell the psalm of praise.
2 See God's mercy streaming
over all the world,
and his banner gleaming,
everywhere unfurled.
Broad and deep and glorious,
as the heaven above,
shines in might victorious
his eternal love.
3 Lord, upon our blindness
your pure radiance pour;
for your loving-kindness
make us love you more.
And, when clouds are drifting
dark across the sky,
then, the veil uplifting,
Father, still be nigh.
4 We will never doubt you,
though you veil your light;
life is dark without you;
death with you is bright.
Light of light, shine o'er us
on our pilgrim way;
still go on before us,
to the endless day. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in times and seasons; Death and Bereavement; Light; Providence; Summer Used With Tune: RUTH
