and own how awesome is this place;
let all within us feel God's power
and bow before the hidden face.
Redeeming Lord, your grace we prove,
serve you with awe, with reverence love.
2 Lo, God is here! Both day and night
united choirs of angels sing;
to God, enthroned above all height,
heaven's host their noblest praises bring;
disdain not, Lord, our meaner song,
who praise you with a stammering tongue.
3 Being of beings, may our praise
your courts with grateful fragrance fill;
still may we stand before your face,
still hear and do your sovereign will;
to you may all our thoughts arise,
ceaseless, accepted sacrifice. Topics: Praise of God; Gathering of the Community Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE (ST. FINBAR)

Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing
Author: James Weldon Johnson, 1871-1938 Meter: Irregular Appears in 48 hymnals Scripture: Exodus 19:3-6 Lyrics: 1 Lift every voice and sing
till earth and heaven ring,
ring with the harmonies of liberty.
Let our rejoicing rise
high as the list'ning skies,
let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith
that the dark past has taught us.
Sing a song full of the hope
that the present has brought us.
Facing the rising sun
of our new day begun,
let us march on
till victory is won.
2 Stony the road we trod,
bitter the chastening rod,
felt in the days when
hope unborn had died;
yet with a steady beat,
have not our weary feet
come to the place for which
our people sighed?
We have come over a way
that with tears has been watered.
We have come, treading our path
thro' the blood of the slaughtered,
out from the gloomy past
till now we stand at last
where the white gleam
of our bright star is cast.
3 God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
thou who hast brought us
thus far on the way,
thou who hast by thy might
led us into the light,
keep us forever
in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places,
our God, where we met thee,
lest our hearts, drunk with the
wine of the world, we forget thee,
shadowed beneath thy hand,
may we forever stand,
true to our God,
true to our native land. Topics: Hope; Hope; Journey; Justice; Steadfastness Used With Tune: ANTHEM
