Give Thanks for Life
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #297 (1995) Meter: 10.10.10 with alleluias First Line: Give thanks for life, the measure of our days Lyrics: 1 Give thanks for life, the measure of our days,
mortal, we pass through beauty that decays,
Yet sing to God our hope, our love, our praise,
Alleluia, Alleluia!
2 Give thanks for those whose made their life a light
caught from the Christ-flame, bursting through the night,
Who touched the truth, who burned for what was right,
Alleluia, Alleluia!
3 And for our own, our living and our dead,
thanks for the love by which our life is fed,
A love not changed by time or death or dread,
Alleluia, Alleluia!
4 Give thanks for hope, that like the wheat, the grain
that lies in darkness does its life retain
In resurrection to grow green again,
Alleluia, Alleluia! Topics: All Saints Day; Burial and Memorial; Eternal Life; Hope; Thanksgiving; Year B Advent 3; Year C All Saints Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Languages: English Tune Title: ROBINSON

When In Our Music God Is Glorified
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: Christian Worship (2008) #734 (2008) Meter: 10.10.10 with alleluias Lyrics: 1 When in our music God is glorified,
And adoration leaves no room for pride,
It is as though the whole creation cried:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
2 How oft, in making music, we have found
A new dimension in the world of sound
As worship moved us to a more profound
Alleluia! Alleluia!
3 So has the Church, in liturgy and song,
In faith and love, through centuries of wrong,
Borne witness to the truth in ev’ry tongue:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
4 And did not Jesus sing a psalm that night
When utmost evil strove against the light?
Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
5 Let ev’ry instrument be tuned for praise;
Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise,
And may God give us faith to sing always:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Topics: Worship and Praise Languages: English Tune Title: ROBINSON
