Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee
Author: Henry Van Dyke Hymnal: UMH #89 (1989) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1. Joyful, joyful, we adore thee,
God of glory, Lord of love;
hearts unfold like flowers before thee,
opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;
drive the dark of doubt away.
Giver of immortal gladness,
fill us with the light of day!
2. All thy works with joy surround thee,
earth and heaven reflect thy rays,
stars and angels sing around thee,
center of unbroken praise.
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
flowery meadow, flashing sea,
chanting bird and flowing fountain,
call us to rejoice in thee.
3. Thou art giving and forgiving,
ever blessing, ever blest,
wellspring of the joy of living,
ocean depth of happy rest!
Thou our Father, Christ our brother,
all who live in love are thine;
teach us how to love each other,
lift us to the joy divine.
4. Mortals, join the mighty chorus
which the morning stars began;
love divine is reigning o'er us,
binding all within its span.
Ever singing, march we onward,
victors in the midst of strife;
joyful music leads us sunward,
in the triumph song of life.

God Hath Spoken by the Prophets
Author: George W. Briggs Hymnal: UMH #108 (1989) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 God hath spoken by the prophets,
spoken the unchanging Word,
each from age to age proclaiming,
God the One, the righteous Lord!
'Mid the world's despair and turmoil,
one firm anchor holdeth fast:
God eternal reigns forever,
God the first, and God the last.
2 God hath spoken by Christ Jesus,
Christ, the everlasting Son;
brightness of the Father's glory,
with the Father ever one;
spoken by the Word incarnate,
God of God, ere time was born;
Light of Light, to earth descending,
Christ, as God in human form.
3 God yet speaketh by the Spirit,
speaketh to our hearts again;
in the agelong Word expounding
God's own message, now as then.
Thru the rise and fall of nations,
one sure faith yet standing fast,
God abides, the Word unchanging,
God the first, and God the last.
God the first, and God the last. Topics: The Glory of the Triune God God's Nature; The Glory of the Triune God God's Nature; Adoration and Praise; Church Education; Kingdom of God; Providence; Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: EBENEZER

Seek the Lord
Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: UMH #124 (1989) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: Seek the Lord who now is present Lyrics: 1 Seek the Lord who now is present,
pray to One who is at hand.
Let the wicked cease from sinning,
evildoers change their mind.
On the sinful God has pity;
those returning God forgives.
This is what the Lord is saying
to a world that disbelieves.
2 “Judge me not by human standards!
As the vault of heaven soars
high above the earth, so higher
are my thoughts and ways than yours.
See how rain and snow from heaven
make earth blossom and bear fruit,
giving you, before returning,
seed for sowing, bread to eat:
3 “So my Word returns not fruitless;
does not from its labors cease
till it has achieved my purpose
in a world of joy and peace.”
God is love! How close the prophet
to that vital gospel word!
In Isaiah’s inspiration
it is Jesus we have heard!

God, Who Stretched the Spangled Heavens
Author: Catherine Cameron Hymnal: UMH #150b (1989) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 God, who stretched the spangled heavens, infinite in time and place,
flung the suns in burning radiance through the silent fields of space,
we your children, in your likeness, share inventive powers with you.
Great Creator, still creating, show us what we yet may do.
2 Proudly rise our modern cities, stately buildings, row on row;
yet their windows, blank, unfeeling, stare on canyoned streets below,
where the lonely drift unnoticed in the city's ebb and flow,
lost to purpose and to meaning, scarcely caring where they go.
3 We have ventured worlds undreamed of since the childhood of our race;
known the ecstasy of winging through untraveled realms of space;
probed the secrets of the atom, yielding unimagined power,
facing us with life’s destruction or our most triumphant hour.
4 As each far horizon beckons, may it challenge us anew,
children of creative purpose, serving others, honoring you.
May our dreams prove rich with promise, each endeavor well begun.
Great Creator, give us guidance till our goals and yours are one. Languages: English Tune Title: AUSTRIA
God, Who Stretched the Spangled Heavens
Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: UMH #196 (1989) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: Come, thou long expected Jesus Lyrics: 1. Come, thou long expected Jesus,
born to set thy people free;
from our fears and sins release us,
let us find our rest in thee.
Israel's strength and consolation,
hope of all the earth thou art;
dear desire of every nation,
joy of every longing heart.
2. Born thy people to deliver,
born a child and yet a King,
born to reign in us forever,
now thy gracious kingdom bring.
By thine own eternal spirit
rule in all our hearts alone;
by thine all sufficient merit,
raise us to thy glorious throne.
