God, Who Stretched the Spangled Heavens
Author: Catherine Cameron Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 47 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God, who stretched the spangled heavens, infinite in time and place,
flung the suns in burning radiance through the silent fields of space,
we your children, in your likeness, share inventive powers with you.
Great Creator, still creating, show us what we yet may do.
2 Proudly rise our modern cities, stately buildings, row on row;
yet their windows, blank, unfeeling, stare on canyoned streets below,
where the lonely drift unnoticed in the city's ebb and flow,
lost to purpose and to meaning, scarcely caring where they go.
3 We have ventured worlds undreamed of since the childhood of our race;
known the ecstasy of winging through untraveled realms of space;
probed the secrets of the atom, yielding unimagined power,
facing us with life’s destruction or our most triumphant hour.
4 As each far horizon beckons, may it challenge us anew,
children of creative purpose, serving others, honoring you.
May our dreams prove rich with promise, each endeavor well begun.
Great Creator, give us guidance till our goals and yours are one. Used With Tune: AUSTRIA
God, Who Stretched the Spangled Heavens
Strong of Body, High of Spirit
Author: Richard Felton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Strong of body, high of spirit,
Valiant youth goes striding forth;
His the seasons that inherit
All the treasure trove of earth.
Sky and sunlight, dream and labor,
Mountain crag and sparkling shore,
Love of God and love of neighbor,
These are his forevermore.
2. Lord who liveth, youth undying,
Thou who knowest this our path,
Move among us, still defying
Nights of fear and gulfs of wrath.
Though our years are far and ranging,
We are young who walk with truth,
Hearts at peace that know no changing,
These are thine, immortal youth. Used With Tune: AUSTRIA (Haydn)

Raise the Psalm: Let Earth Adoring
Author: Edward Churton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Raise the psalm: let earth adoring,
Through each kindred, tribe, and tongue,
To her God His praise restoring,
Raise the new accordant song.
Bless His name, each farthest nation;
Sing His praise, His truth display:
Tell anew His high salvation,
With each new return of day.
2. Tell it out beneath the heaven
To each kindred, tribe and tongue,
Tell it out from morn till even
In your unexhausted song:
Tell that God forever reigneth,
He, who set the world so fast,
He, who still its state sustaineth
Till the day of doom to last.
3. Tell them that the day is coming
When that righteous doom shall be:
Then shall Heav’n new joys illumine,
Gladness shine o’er earth and sea.
Yea, the far resounding ocean
Shall its thousand voices raise,
All its waves in glad commotion
Chant the fullness of His praise.
4. And earth’s fields, with herbs and flowers,
Shall put on their choice array,
And in all their leafy bowers
Shall the woods keep holy day:
When the Judge, to earth descending,
Righteous judgment shall ordain,
Fraud and wrong shall then have ending,
Truth, immortal truth, shall reign. Used With Tune: AUSTRIA (Haydn) Text Sources: The Cleveland Psalter, 1854

Word of God, Across the Ages
Author: Ferdinand Q Blanchard Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Word of God, across the ages
Comes the message to our life;
Source of hope forever present
In our toil and fears and strife;
Constant witness to God's mercy,
Still our grace whate'er befall,
Guide unfailing, strength eternal,
Offered freely to us all.
2. Story of the wondrous journey
From the shadows of the night;
Garnered truth of sage and prophet,
Guiding forward into light;
Words and deeds of Christ our Master,
Pointing to the life and way,
Still appealing, still inspiring,
'Mid the struggles of today.
3. In the tongues of all the peoples
May the message bless and heal,
As devout and patient scholars
More and more its depths reveal;
Bless, O God, to wise and simple,
All the truth of ageless worth,
Till all lands receive the witness
and Your knowledge fills the earth. Scripture: Acts 6:7 Used With Tune: AUSTRIAN HYMN Text Sources: Ten New Hymns on the Bible
