Nature with open volume stands
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 148 hymnals Topics: Proclamation: Witness Lyrics: 1 Nature with open volume stands
to spread her maker's praise abroad;
and every labour of his hands
shows something worthy of a God.
2 But in the grace that rescued us,
his brightest form of glory shines;
here, on the cross, 'tis fairest drawn
in precious blood, and crimson lines.
3 Here his whole name appears complete:
nor wit can guess, nor reason prove,
which of the letters best is writ,
the power, the wisdom, or the love.
4 O the sweet wonders of that cross
where God the Saviour loved, and died!
Her noblest life my spirit draws
from his dear wounds, and bleeding side.
5 I would for ever speak his name
in sounds to mortal ears unknown,
with angels join to praise the Lamb,
and worship at his Father's throne.

thrills on the morning air:
'Arise and save my people
from sin's oppressive power!'
Fair breaks the day with gladness,
its light brings hope to all;
O God of heaven, we bless you
that we have heard your call.
2 The light of God is resting
upon the encircling hills,
pledge of the new day coming,
hope for our wearied wills;
long though the night, and fearful,
the day reveals your power;
O God of heaven, we thank you,
our strong and mghty tower.
3 Fierce though the conflict rages,
not yet the victory won;
God give us strength ane courage
until our task is done.
The foe moves out against us,
his hosts in grim array;
O God of heaven, we pray you:
Revive our cause today!
4 Rise up, O church to action!
Take up the cause of right;
the foe is strong, but stronger
are you in heaven's might:
with joy we hear the challenge
and answer to your call;
O God of heaven, your kingdom
shall triumph over all. Used With Tune: THE CALL OF GOD

God of Jeremiah, grieving with an aching heart
Author: Brian Arthur Wren, 1936- Meter: 13.13.7.7.13 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Proclamation: Witness Lyrics: 1 God of Jeremiah, grieving with an aching heart
for an empire, unbelieving as it falls apart,
when your thunder goes unheard, we will tend the prophet's word,
and in season, out of season, we will sing your song.
2 When our wound is left to fester, though the pain goes deep,
when we've sown a hundred whirlwinds, but have yet to reap,
when the platitudes of peace only make our fears increase,
with a poem and a story we will sing your song.
3 When the palace looks at poverty with scornful eyes,
when the scroll of truth is shredded by a leader's lies,
when the glory of the cross is a propaganda gloss,
in the square and in the senate we will sing your song.
4 We will break the jar of plenty by the gates of gold,
we will buy a field of promise when the farm is sold,
at the ending of the dream, in the death of self esteem,
at the bank and in the market we will sing your song.
5 We will praise the grainy granite of the Law's demands,
and the Life-creating, Lover-God with wounded hands;
we will spin your story-line to an empire in decline
and in exile or in honour we will sing your song. Scripture: 2 Timothy 4:1-5 Used With Tune: KELVIN GROVE
God of Jeremiah, grieving with an aching heart
