Maker of earth and sky.

deep seas obey your voice.

though you transcend the stars.
Come close to us and stay by our side:
with you are found the true gifts that last.
Bless us with life that never shall end,

and to my listening ears
all nature sings, and round me rings
the music of the spheres.
This is my Father’s world;
I rest me in the thought
of rocks and trees, of skies and seas;
his hand the wonders wrought.
2 This is my Father’s world;
the birds their carols raise;
the morning light, the lily white,
declare their Maker’s praise.
This is my Father’s world;
he shines in all that’s fair.
In the rustling grass I hear him pass;
he speaks to me everywhere.
3 This is my Father’s world;
oh, let me not forget
that, though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the Ruler yet.
This is my Father’s world;
why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King, let the heavens ring!
God reigns; let the earth be glad. Topics: Creation; Powers of Darkness; God as Creator; God As Father; God's Providence; Music and Singing; Sorrow; Stewardship of Nature Scripture: Genesis 1:28 Languages: English Tune Title: TERRA BEATA

How Bright Appears the Morning Star
Author: William Mercer; Philipp Nicolai Hymnal: LUYH2013 #101 (2013) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7.4.8.4.8 Person Name: Johann S. Bach, 1685-1750 Lyrics: 1 How bright appears the Morning Star,
with mercy beaming from afar;
the host of heaven rejoices.
O Righteous Branch, O Jesse’s Rod,
the Son of Man and Son of God!
We too will lift our voices:
Jesus, Jesus, holy, holy, yet most lowly,
come, draw near us; great Emmanuel, come and hear us.
2 Though circled by the hosts on high,
he deigned to cast a pitying eye
upon his helpless creature.
The whole creation’s head and Lord,
by highest seraphim adored,
assumed our very nature;
Jesus, grant us, through your merit, to inherit
your salvation. Hear, O hear our supplication.
3 Rejoice, O heavens, and earth, reply;
with praise, O sinners, fill the sky
for this, his incarnation.
Incarnate God, put forth your power;
ride on, ride on, great Conqueror,
till all know your salvation.
Amen, amen! Alleluia, alleluia!
Praise be given evermore by earth and heaven. Topics: Biblical Names and Places Jesse; Church Year Epiphany Scripture: Revelation 22:16 Languages: English Tune Title: WIE SCHÖN LEUCHTET

O Sacred Head, Now Wounded
Author: Paul Gerhardt; James W. Alexander Hymnal: LUYH2013 #168 (2013) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Person Name: Johann S. Bach Lyrics: 1 O sacred head, now wounded,
with grief and shame weighed down,
now scornfully surrounded
with thorns, your only crown.
O sacred head, what glory
and blessing you have known!
Yet, though despised and gory,
I claim you as my own.
2 My Lord, what you did suffer
was all for sinner's gain;
mine, mine was the transgression,
but yours the deadly pain.
So here I kneel, my Savior,
for I deserve your place;
look on me with thy favor
and save me by your grace.
3 What language shall I borrow
to thank you, dearest Friend,
for this, your dying sorrow,
your pity without end?
Lord, make me yours forever,
a loyal servant true,
and let me never, never
outlive my love to you.

if you would my disciple be;
take up your cross with willing heart,

fill your weak spirit with alarm;
Christ's strength shall bear your spirit up
and brace your heart and nerve your arm.
3 Take up your cross, heed not the shame,
and let your foolish heart be still;

upon a cross, on Calvary's hill.

it guides you to abundant life
and leads to victory o'er the grave. Topics: The Cross; Discipleship; Perseverance; Walk with God Scripture: Matthew 16:24-28 Languages: English Tune Title: ERHALT UNS, HERR

O God, My Faithful God
Author: Johann Heermann; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: LUYH2013 #646 (2013) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Person Name: Johann S. Bach, 1685-1750 Lyrics: 1 O God, my faithful God,
true fountain ever flowing,
without whom nothing is,
all perfect gifts bestowing:
give me a healthy frame,
and may I have within
a conscience free from blame,
a soul unstained by sin.
2 Give me the strength to do
with ready heart and willing
whatever you command,
my calling here fulfilling.
Help me do what I should
in all that comes my way;
I know that you are good,
you bless those who obey.
3 Keep me from saying words
that later need recalling;
guard me lest idle speech
may from my lips be falling;
but when within my place
I must and ought to speak,
then to my words give grace
lest I offend the weak.
4 When dangers gather round,
O keep me calm and fearless;
help me to bear the cross
when life seems dark and cheerless.
Help me, as you have taught,
to love both great and small,
to speak the truth in love,
to live at peace with all. Topics: Discipleship; God's Gifts; God's Will; Hymns That Are Prayer; Elements of Worship Confession Scripture: Psalm 141:3 Languages: English Tune Title: DARMSTADT

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Martin Luther; Frederick H. Hedge Hymnal: LUYH2013 #776 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Person Name: Johann S. Bach, 1685-1750 Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God,
a bulwark never failing;
our helper he, amid the flood
of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
does seek to work us woe;
his craft and power are great,
and armed with cruel hate,
on earth is not his equal.
2 Did we in our own strength confide,
our striving would be losing,
were not the right Man on our side,
the Man of God's own choosing.
You ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he;
Lord Sabaoth his name,
from age to age the same;
and he must win the battle.
3 And though this world, with devils filled,
should threaten to undo us,
we will not fear, for God has willed
his truth to triumph through us.
The prince of darkness grim,
we tremble not for him;
his rage we can endure,
for lo! his doom is sure;
one little word shall fell him.
4 That Word above all earthly powers–
no thanks to them– abideth;
the Spirit and the gifts are ours
through him who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go,
this mortal life also;
the body they may kill:
God's truth abideth still;
his kingdom is forever! Topics: Powers of Darkness; Eternal Life; God's Faithfulness; God's Power; God's Protection; God's Truth; God's Word; Kingdom; Perseverance; Elements of Worship Profession of Faith Scripture: Psalm 46 Languages: English Tune Title: EIN FESTE BURG
