Have Mercy On Us, God Most High
Author: Frederick William Faber (1814-1863) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 31 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Scripture: Genesis 1, 2:1-4 Lyrics: 1 Have mercy on us, God most high,
who lift our hearts to thee;
have mercy now, most merciful,
most holy Trinity.
2 When heaven and earth were yet unmade,
when time was yet unknown,
thou in thy bliss and majesty
didst live and love alone.
3 How wonderful creation is,
the work which thou didst bless;
and O what then must thou be like,
eternal Loveliness!
4 Most ancient of all mysteries!
Low at thy throne we lie:
have mercy now, most merciful,
most holy Trinity. Topics: Lent (season); Repentance; Trinity Used With Tune: LINCOLN

How Sweet Was the Garden, Fertile and Fair
Author: Carl P. Daw Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Scripture: Genesis 2:8-25, 3:1 Lyrics: 1 How sweet was the garden, fertile and fair,
the first and best home God gave to our care,
a paradise lavished on creatures of clay;
yet we were not willing to follow God’s way.
2 We freely could eat from all but one tree
(forbidden, perhaps, lest gods we might be?),
but tasting we grew not divine after all:
the fruit in our mouth turned from nectar to gall.
3 From dark, bitter fruit came forth a bright seed,
for God did not turn from us in our need;
the love that first formed us embraces us still
and woos us from wandering to follow God’s will.

joyful in believing.
This is my song, I'll sing it with love.

when life is filled with bleakness,
empty and chill,
breaking my will?

crying or complaining
This is my song, I'll sing it with love.
3 How shall I sing to God
and tell my Saviour's story:
passover bread,
life from the dead?

witnessing and giving,
risking and forgiving.
This is my song, I'll sing it with love. Topics: Courage; Faith; Music; Our Love to God; Providence; Renewal; Suffering; Thanksgiving; Witness Used With Tune: WEAVER MILL

Holy Presence, Holy Teacher
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Scripture: Genesis 2:4-15 Lyrics: 1 Holy Presence, Holy Teacher,
Light illumining our lives,
in the compass of your wisdom
all our work and worship thrives:
lead us when we sense your calling
till we find our chosen field,
following your hand’s direction,
honoring your truth revealed.
2 By our nurture and by culture
ev’ry life is shaped to grow,
fed by long tradition’s learning,
formed by mentors as we go;
tune our ears to hear the Gospel
questioning accepted thought,
ready to respect each other,
see the gifts that each has brought.
3 Yours the world of pow’r and beauty,
ours the task to tend its needs,
day by day in cheerful service
growing faith like mustard seeds,
striving in unlikely places,
standing where indeed we must,
acting from compelling conscience,
working for what’s fair and just.
4 God, we pray for understanding
in our study, in our goals,
concepts that will change and challenge,
vision to inspire our souls,
that this place for mind’s reflection,
faith examined, Word addressed,
be a witness to your teaching
and our faithful search be blessed. Topics: Faith; God Images and Names of; God’s Call; Justice; Learning; Nurturing Faith; Schools and Learning Communities; Service; Vocation; Wisdom Used With Tune: RUSTINGTON
