God Leads Us Along
Author: G. A. Young Meter: Irregular with refrain Appears in 103 hymnals Topics: Darkness; Darkness First Line: In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet Refrain First Line: Some through the waters, some through the flood Lyrics: 1 In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet,
God leads his dear children along;
where the water’s cool flow bathes the weary one’s feet,
God leads his dear children along.
Refrain:
Some through the waters, some through the flood,
some through the fire, but all through the blood;
some through great sorrow, but God gives a song,
in the night season and all the day long.
2 Sometimes on the mount where the sun shines so bright,
God leads his dear children along;
sometimes in the valley, in darkest of night,
God leads his dear children along. [Refrain]
3 Though sorrows befall us and evils oppose,
God leads his dear children along;
through grace we can conquer, defeat all our foes,
God leads his dear children along. [Refrain]

What Shall I Render to the LORD

give worthy thanks, O LORD, to thee?

my gift and call upon God's name.
Before his saints I pay my vow
and here my gratitude proclaim.

Joyful Is the Dark
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 5.5.10.6.5.10 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Darkness and Light Lyrics: 1 Joyful is the dark,
holy, hidden God,
rolling cloud of night beyond all naming,
majesty in darkness,
energy of love,
Word in flesh, the mystery proclaiming.
2 Joyful is the dark
Spirit of the deep,
winging wildly o’er the world’s creation,
silken sheen of midnight
plumage black and bright,
swooping with the beauty of a raven.
3 Joyful is the dark,
shadowed stable floor;
angels flicker, God on earth confessing,
as with exultation,
Mary, giving birth,
hails the infant cry of need and blessing.
4 Joyful is the dark
coolness of the tomb,
waiting for the wonder of the morning.
Never was that midnight
touched by dread and gloom:
darkness was the cradle of the dawning.
5 Joyful is the dark
depth of love divine,
roaring, looming thundercloud of glory,
holy, haunting beauty,
living, loving God.
Hallelujah! Sing and tell the story! Scripture: Genesis 1:1-2 Used With Tune: JOYFUL DARK Text Sources: Bring Many Names

The Voice of God Is Calling
Author: John Haynes Holmes Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 70 hymnals Topics: Darkness Lyrics: 1 The voice of God is calling
A summons unto all;
As once they heard in Zion,
So now we hear the call.
"Whom shall I send to succor
My people in their need?
Whom shall I send to loosen
The bonds of shame and greed?
2 "I hear my people crying
In cot and mine and slum;
No field or mart is silent,
No city street is dumb.
I see my people falling
In darkness and despair.
Whom shall I send to shatter
The fetters which they bear?"
3 We heed, O God, thy summons,
And answer: "Here are we!
Send us upon thine errand,
Let us thy servants be.
Our strength is dust and ashes,
Our years a passing hour;
But thou canst use our weakness
To magnify thy power.
4 "From ease and plenty save us;
From pride of place absolve;
Purge us of low desire;
Lift us to high resolve;
Take us, and make us holy;
Teach us thy will and way.
Speak, and, behold! we answer;
Command, and we obey!" Scripture: Isaiah 6:8 Used With Tune: MEIRIONYDD
