Blessed Be the God of Israel (Luke 1:68-79)
Author: Carl P. Daw Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 19 hymnals First Line: Blessed be the God of Israel Lyrics: 1 Blessed be the God of Israel,
who comes to set us free
and raises up new hope for us:
a Branch from David’s tree.
So have the prophets long declared
that with a mighty arm
God would turn back our enemies
and all who wish us harm.
2 With promised mercy will God still
the covenant recall,
the oath once sworn to Abraham,
from foes to save us all,
that we might worship without fear
and offer lives of praise,
in holiness and righteousness
to serve God all our days.
3 My child, as prophet of the Lord,
you will prepare the way,
to tell God’s people they are saved
from sin’s eternal sway.
Then shall God’s mercy from on high
shine forth and never cease
to drive away the gloom of death
and lead us into peace. Topics: Biblical Names and Places Abraham; Biblical Names and Places David; Church Year Advent; Covenant Faithfulness; Darkness Scripture: Luke 1:58-79 Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN

Eternal God, Whose Power Upholds
Author: Henry Hallam Tweedy Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 55 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Eternal God, whose power upholds
Both flower and flaming star,
To whom there is no here nor there,
No time, no near nor far,
No alien race, no foreign shore,
No child unsought, unknown:
O send us forth, Thy prophets true,
To make all lands Thine own!
2 O God of love, whose spirit wakes
In every human breast,
Whom love, and love alone, can know,
In whom all hearts find rest:
Help us to spread Thy gracious reign
Till greed and hate shall cease,
And kindness dwell in human hearts,
And all the earth find peace!
3 O God of truth, whom science seeks
And reverent souls adore,
Who lightest every earnest mind
Of every clime and shore:
Dispel the gloom of error's night,
Of ignorance and fear,
Until true wisdom from above
Shall make life's pathway clear!
4 O God of beauty, oft revealed
In dreams of human art,
In speech that flows to melody,
In holiness of heart:
Teach us to ban all ugliness
That blinds our eyes to Thee,
Till all shall know the loveliness
Of lives made fair and free!
5 O God of righteousness and grace,
Seen in the Christ, Thy Son,
Whose life and death reveal Thy face,
By whom Thy will was done:
Inspire Thy heralds of good news
To live Thy life divine,
Till Christ is formed in all mankind
And every land is Thine!
Amen. Topics: Art and Literature; Brotherhood; God Eternity and Power; God Kingdom; Missions; Peace on Earth; Schools; Science; World Friendship and Peace; Kingdom of God on Earth, The World Friendship and Peace Scripture: Isaiah 11:9 Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN

The Summer Days Are Come Again
Author: Samuel Longfellow, 1819-1892 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 74 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The summer days are come again;
Once more the glad earth yields
Her golden wealth of ripening grain,
And breath of clover fields,
And deepening shade of summer woods,
And glow of summer air,
And winging thoughts, and happy moods
Of love and joy and prayer.
2. The summer days are come again;
The birds are on the wing;
God's praises, in their loving strain,
Unconsciously they sing.
We know who giveth all the good
That doth our cup o'erbrim;
For summer joy in field and wood
We lift our song to Him. Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN
