A Morning Hymn
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #LXXXVIII (1791) Topics: liturgical Opening Hymns; Morning Hymns First Line: God of the Morning, at whose Voice Lyrics: 1 God of the Morning, at whose Voice
The chearful Sun makes haste to rise,
And like a Giant doth rejoice
To run his Journey thro' the Skies;
2 From the fair Chambers of the East
The Circuit of his Race begins,
And, without Weariness or Rest,
Round the whole Earth he flies and shines;
3 Oh, like the Sun may I fulfil
Th' appointed Duties of the Day,
With ready mind and active Will
March on and keep my heav'nly Way.
[4 But I shall rove and lose the Race,
If GOD, my Sun, should disappear,
And leave me in this World's wild Maze,
To follow ev'ry wand'ring Star.]
5 LORD, thy Commands are clean and pure,
Enlightning our beclouded Eyes;
Thy Threat'nings just, thy Promise sure:
Thy Gospel makes the Simple wise.
6 Give me thy Counsel for my Guide,
And then receive me to thy Bliss;
All my Desires and Hopes beside
Are faint and cold compar'd with this. Scripture: Psalm 19 Languages: English

O Joy of God
Author: Cecil Henry Boutflower Hymnal: Voices United #407 (1996) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: The Church at Worship Opening and Morning Hymns; liturgical Opening Hymns; Opening Hymns First Line: O joy of God, we seek you in the morning Lyrics: 1 O joy of God, we seek you in the morning
and long to see the glory of your face:
rise on our darkness with your sun's new dawning.
Flood all our being in this feast of grace.
2 O life of God, for you our spirits hunger;
unless we feed on you we surely die:
with love and faith renewed and hope grown younger,
send us from here to serve you, God most high.
3 O peace of God, you pass our understanding -
safe through each moment keep us every day:
with joy divine and mercy never ending,
direct our path and prosper all our way. Tune Title: HIGHWOOD

Welcome to Another Day
Author: Michael Saward Hymnal: Voices United #408 (1996) Meter: 7.4.7.4 D Topics: The Church at Worship Opening and Morning Hymns; liturgical Opening Hymns; Opening Hymns First Line: Welcome to another day! Lyrics: 1 Welcome to another day!
Night is blinded.
"Welcome," let creation say;
darkness ended.
Comes the sunshine after dew,
time for labour;
time to love my God anew
and my neighbour.
2 Welcome to the day of prayer
with God's people
welcome is the joy we share
at this table.
Bread and wine from heaven fall:
come, receive it
that the Christ may reign in all
who believe it.
3 Welcome is the peace that's given,
sure for ever;
welcome is the hope of heaven
when life's over.
As we work and as we pray,
trust God's story:
come then, as the dawning day
heralds glory!

God Is Here
Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Voices United #389 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Church at Worship Opening and Morning Hymns; liturgical Opening Hymns; Opening Hymns First Line: God is here! As we your people Lyrics: 1 God is here! As we your people
meet to offer praise and prayer,
may we find in fuller measure
what it is in Christ we share.
Here, as in the world around us,
all our varied skills and arts
wait the coming of the Spirit
into open minds and hearts.
2 Here are symbols to remind us
of our lifelong need of grace;
here are table, font, and pulpit;
here the cross has central place.
Here in honesty of preaching,
here in silence, as in speech,
here, in newness and renewal,
God the Spirit comes to each.
3 Here our children find a welcome
in the Shepherd's flock and fold;
here as bread and wine are taken,
Christ sustains us, as of old.
Here the servants of the Servant
seek in worship to explore
what it means in daily living
to believe and to adore.
4 God of all, of church and kingdom,
in an age of change and doubt
keep us faithful to the gospel;
help us work your purpose out.
Here, in this day's dedication,
all we have to give, receive;
we, who cannot live without you,
we adore you! We believe! Languages: English Tune Title: BLAENWERN
God Is Here
How Great the Mystery of Faith
Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Voices United #390 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Church at Worship Opening and Morning Hymns; liturgical Opening Hymns; Opening Hymns Lyrics: 1 How great the mystery of faith,
how deep the purposes of God,
in birth and ageing, life and death,
unveiled, yet never understood!
2 Attracted by life's deepest claim
we wait, assembled in this place,
with needs and hopes we cannot name,
athirst for healing, truth, and grace.
3 The best that we can do and say,
the utmost care of skill and art,
are sweepers of the Spirit's way
to reach the depths of every heart.
4 Come, walk among us, Holy Friend,
as all are gathered and prepared,
that scattered lives may meet and mend
through open Word and table shared. Tune Title: OTTERSPOOR

you, our God and Saviour:
praise your name for ever.

angels, saints, their voices blending.

to us here;
hearken, O Lord Jesus,
to our humble praises.
3 O great Fount of blessing,
purify my spirit,
trusting only in your merit;
like the holy angels
gathered all before you,
may I ceaselessly adore you.
Let your will
ever still
rule your church terrestrial,
as the hosts celestial. Languages: English Tune Title: ARNSBERG
