Eternal God, Whose Power Upholds
Author: Henry Hallam Tweedy Hymnal: The Hymnbook #485 (1955) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D 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!

Eternal God, Whose Power Upholds
Behold a Sower! from afar
Author: Rev. Washington Gladden Hymnal: The Hymnal #486 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Behold a Sower! from afar
He goeth forth with might;
The rolling years His furrows are,
His seed, the growing light;
For all the just His Word is sown,
It springeth up alway;
The tender blade is hope’s young dawn,
The harvest, love’s new day.
2 O Lord of life, to Thee we lift
Our hearts in praise for those,
Thy prophets, who have shown Thy gift
Of grace that ever grows,
Of truth that spreads from shore to shore,
Of wisdom’s widening ray,
Of light that shineth more and more
Unto Thy perfect day.
3 Shine forth, O Light, that we may see,
With hearts all unafraid,
The meaning and the mystery
Of things that Thou hast made;
Shine forth, and let the darkling past
Beneath Thy beam grow bright;
Shine forth, and touch the future vast
With Thine untroubled light.
4 Light up Thy Word; the fettered page
From killing bondage free;
Light up our way; lead forth this age
In love’s large liberty.
O Light of light! within us dwell,
Through us Thy radiance pour,
That word and life Thy truths may tell,
And praise Thee evermore.

Two Thousand Years Since Bethlehem
Author: Brian Hoare, 1935- Hymnal: Worship and Rejoice #540 (2003) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Two thousand years since Bethlehem
first welcomed Jesus' birth:
the startling truth began to dawn
that God had come to earth.
And as he grew and lived and taught
a different way unfurled:
a way of joy and love and peace,
a new start for the world!
2 Two thousand years since Galilee
where Jesus preached and healed;
in words of truth and works of power
God's kingdom was revealed.
As young and old and rich and poor
responded to his call,
they found what we may find today:
a new start for us all!
3 Two thousand years since Calvary,
the hill where Jesus died;
the Lamb of God, the sinless one,
for me was crucified.
But soon he rose up from the grave
to reign in victory;
good news I scarcely can believe;
a new start won for me!
4 Two thousand years since Pentecost:
the Holy Spirit came
in sound of mighty, rushing wind
and tongues of living flame;
a gift to all who will believe
and live the Jesus way;
the power of God we may receive,
a new start from today!
5 Two thousand years of Christian faith
have changed our history,
for Jesus is the Lord of time
and of eternity.
For all who seek a better way,
than failure, sin and pain,
still Jesus Christ makes all things new:
a chance to start again! Scripture: Luke 2:1-20 Languages: English Tune Title: FOREST GREEN

As Saints of Old Their First-fruits Brought
Author: Frank von Christierson, 1900-1996 Hymnal: Worship and Rejoice #570 (2003) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 As saints of old their firstfruits brought
of vineyard, flock, and field
to God, the giver of all good,
the source of bounteous yield;
so we today our firstfruits bring:
the wealth of this good land,
of farm and market, shop and home,
of mind and heart and hand.
2 A world in need now summons us
to labor, love, and give,
to make our life an offering
to God, that all may live.
The church of Christ is calling us
to make the dream come true:
a world redeemed, by Christ-like love,
all life in Christ made new.
3 With gratitude and humble trust
we bring our best to you,
not just to serve your cause,
but share your love with neighbors too.
O God, who gave yourself to us
in Jesus Christ your Son,
help us to give ourselves each day
until life's work is done.

As Saints of Old Their First-fruits Brought
Come, Let Us Join Our Friends Above
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #998 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. Come, let us join our friends above,
who have obtained the prize,
And on the eagle wings of love
to joys celestial rise.
Let saints on earth unite to sing
with those to glory gone,
For all the servants of our king
in earth and Heaven are one.
2. One family we dwell in Him,
one church above, beneath,
Though now divided by the stream,
the narrow stream of death;
One army of the living God,
to His command we bow;
Part of His host have crossed the flood,
and part are crossing now.
3. Ten thousand to their endless home
this solemn moment fly,
And we are to the margin come,
and we expect to die.
His militant embodied host,
with wishful looks we stand,
And long to see that happy coast,
and reach the heavenly land.
4. Our old companions in distress
we haste again to see,
And eager long for our release,
and full felicity:
Even now by faith we join our hands
with those that went before;
And greet the blood besprinkled bands
on the eternal shore.
5. Our spirits too shall quickly join,
like theirs with glory crowned,
And shout to see our captain’s sign,
to hear His trumpet sound.
O that we now might grasp our guide!
O that the word were given!
Come, Lord of Hosts, the waves divide,
and land us all in Heaven. Languages: English Tune Title: FOREST GREEN
Come, Let Us Join Our Friends Above
Blessed Be the God of Israel
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Hymnal: Psalms for All Seasons #1032 (2012) 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. Tune Title: FOREST GREEN
Blessed Be the God of Israel
O God of Love, Grant Us Your Peace
Author: John A. Dalles Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4895 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. O God of love, grant us Your peace,
Within each restless mind.
May all our inner turmoil cease,
God show us how to find
Your quiet rest, Your still, small voice,
Your light upon life’s way,
To walk with you our humble choice,
God give us grace to pray.
2. O God of life, grant us Your peace,
Both where we work and live.
Our ties of fellowship increase,
God, teach us how to give
A helping hand, a listening ear,
A message we may share,
So day by day and year by year,
God give us grace to care!
3. O God of hope, grant us Your peace,
Though all the earth choose war.
May global tensions now decrease,
God, lead us to adore
The way of Christ, and like our Lord,
Be merciful and just,
Surrounded by Your Living Word,
God give us grace to trust!
4. O God of all, grant us Your peace,
We share one human bond,
And so when others seek release,
God, help us to respond
To heal the sick, to seek the lost,
To set the captive free,
To serve and never count the cost;
May we live peacefully! Languages: English Tune Title: FOREST GREEN
