O Happy Home, Where Thou Art Loved

Thou loving Friend and Saviour of our race,
And where among the guests there never cometh
One who can hold such high and honored place.

Whatever his appointed work may be,
Till every common task seems great and holy,
When it is done, O Lord, as unto Thee.
3 O happy home, where Thou art not forgotten
When joy is overflowing, full, and free;
O happy home, where every wounded spirit
Is brought, Physician, Comforter, to Thee,
4 Until at last, when earth's day's work is ended,
All meet Thee in the blessed home above,
From whence Thou camest, where Thou hast ascended,
Thy everlasting home of peace and love!

Praise God for the harvest of farm and of field
Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Proverbs 31:14 Lyrics: 1 Praise God for the harvest of orchard and field,
praise God for the people who gather their yield,
the long hours of labour, the skills of a team,
the patience of science, the power of machine.
2 Praise God for the harvest that comes from afar,
from market and harbour, the sea and the shore:
foods packed and transported, and gathered and grown
by God-given neighbours, unseen and unknown.
3 Praise God for the harvest that's quarried and mined,
then sifted, and smelted, or shaped and refined:
for oil and for iron, for copper and coal,
praise God, who in love has provided them all.
4 Praise God for the harvest of science and skill,
the urge to discover, create and fulfil:
for dreams and inventions that promise to gain
a future more hopeful, a world more humane.
5 Praise God for the harvest of mercy and love,
from leaders and peoples who struggle and serve
for patience and kindness, that all may be led
to freedom and justice, and all may be fed. Topics: Our Response to God in times and seasons; Church Universal; Harvest; Kindness; Science and Technology; Trade and Industry Used With Tune: STOWEY

A Prophet-Woman Broke a Jar
Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Proverbs 31:25-31 Lyrics: 1 A prophet-woman broke a jar,
by Love's divine appointing.
With rare perfume she filled the room,
presiding and anointing.
A prophet-woman broke a jar,
the sneers of scorn defying.
With rare perfume she filled the room,
preparing Christ for dying.
2 A faithful woman left a tomb
by Love's divine commission.
She saw, she heard, she preached the Word,
arising from submission.
A faithful woman left a tomb,
with resurrection gospel.
She saw, she heard, she preached the Word,
apostle to apostles.
3 Though woman-wisdom, woman-truth,
for centuries were hidden,
unsung, unwritten, and unheard,
derided and forbidden,
the Spirit's breath, the Spirit's fire,
on free and slave descending,
can tumble our dividing walls,
our shame and sadness mending.
The Spirit knows, the Spirit calls,
by Love's divine ordaining,
the friends we need, to serve and lead,
their powers and gifts unchaining.
The Spirit knows, the Spirit calls,
from women, men and children,
the friends we need, to serve and lead.
Rejoice, and make them welcome! Used With Tune: MEGERRAN

God knows how deep they lie, stored in the breast;
Like childhood’s simple rhymes, said o’er a thousand times,
Go through all years and climes, the heart to cheer.
Refrain 1:
Kind words can never die, never die, never die;
Kind words can never die, no, never die.
2 Sweet thoughts can never die, though, like the flow’rs,
Their brightest hues may fly in wintry hours;
But when the gentle dew gives them their charms anew,
With many an added hue they bloom again.
Refrain 2:
Sweet thoughts can never die, never die, never die;
Sweet thoughts can never die, no, never die.
3 Our souls can never die, though in the tomb
We all may have to lie, wrapped in its gloom;
What though the flesh decay, souls pass in peace away,
Live though eternal day, with Christ above.

Our souls can never die, never die, never die;
Our souls can never die, no, never die.

Give us grace to lead our children,
Draw them to Thee day by day;

Dedicated, Lord, to Thee.

Nor didst humble work disdain,
Grant we may Thy footsteps follow
Patiently through toil or pain;
May our quiet home-life be
Lived, O Lord, in Thee, to Thee.

Toiling for the souls of men,
Thou who shalt draw all men to Thee,
Though despised, rejected then;
Humble though our influence be,
Use it in the world for Thee.

that every child be given
such tenderness and care,

The love of mothers brightly shine.

That guides and keeps our lifetime through,
Through sacrifice and service dear,
Its depths of sweetness shine more clear.

That lives to bless and bends to give;

Our gratitude for mother's love. Topics: Occasional Services Mother's Day Used With Tune: SWEET HOUR
