Children of God, reach out to one another!

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #521 (2005) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Our Response to God in the worship of God's house Lyrics: 1 Children of God, reach out to one another! Where pity dwells, the peace of God is there; to worship rightly is to love each other, each smile a hymn, each kindly deed a prayer. 2 For he whom Jesus loved has truly spoken: the holier worship which God deigns to bless restores the lost, and binds the spirit broken, and feeds the widow and the fatherless. 3 Follow with reverent steps the great example of him whose holy work was doing good; so shall the wide earth seem our Father's temple, each loving life a psalm of gratitude. 4 Then shall all shackles fall; the stormy clangour of wild war music o'er the earth shall cease; love shall tread out the baleful fire of anger, and in its ashes plant the tree of peace.

"Be thou my Prophet, thou my Priest; Thy children shall be ever blest; Thou art my chosen King: thy throne Shall stand eternal like my own.

"David, my servant, whom I chose To guard my flock, to crush my foes, And raised him to the Jewish throne, Was but a shadow of my Son." Now let the church rejoice and sing Jesus, her Savior and her King; Angels his heav'nly wonders show, And saints declare his works below. Scripture: Psalm 89 Languages: English

How terrible thy glories be! How bright thine armies shine! Where is the power that vies with thee, Or truth compared to thine? The northern pole and southern rest On thy supporting hand; Darkness and day, from east to west, Move round at thy command. Thy words the raging winds control, And rule the boist'rous deep; Thou mak'st the sleeping billows roll, The rolling billows sleep. Heav'n, earth, and air, and sea, are thine, And the dark world of hell; How did thine arm in vengeance shine When Egypt durst rebel! Justice and judgment are thy throne, Yet wondrous is thy grace; While truth and mercy, joined in one, Invite us near thy face. Scripture: Psalm 89:7-52 Languages: English
