Angels holy, high and lowly
Author: John Stuart Blackie Hymnal: The Hymnal #76 (1950) Meter: 8.7.8.8.7 Topics: Nature Services; Nature Services Lyrics: 1 Angels holy, high and lowly,
Sing the praises of the Lord!
Earth and sky, all living nature,
Man, the stamp of thy Creator,
Praise ye, praise ye, God the Lord!
2 Ocean hoary, tell His glory,
Cliffs, where tumbling seas have roared!
Pulse of waters blithely beating,
Wave advancing, wave retreating,
Praise ye, praise ye, God the Lord!
3 Rock and highland, wood and island,
Crag where eagle’s pride hath soared,
Mighty mountains, purple-breasted,
Peaks cloud-cleaving, snowy-crested,
Praise ye, praise ye, God the Lord!
4 Praise Him ever, bounteous Giver!
Praise Him, Father, Friend and Lord!
Each glad soul its free course winging,
Each blithe voice its free song singing,
Praise the great and mighty Lord!
Amen. Tune Title: LLANHERNE

Let the whole creation cry
With songs and honors sounding loud
Author: Rev. Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Hymnal #75 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Nature Services Lyrics: 1 With songs and honors sounding loud,
Address the Lord on high;
Over the heavens He spreads His cloud,
And waters veil the sky.
2 He sends His showers of blessing down
To cheer the plains below;
He makes the grass the mountains crown,
And corn in valleys grow.
3 His steady counsels change the face
Of the declining year;
He bids the sun cut short his race,
And wintry days appear.
4 He sends His word, and melts the snow;
The fields no longer mourn;
He calls the warmer gales to blow,
And bids the spring return.
5 The changing wind, the flying cloud,
Obey His mighty word:
With songs and honors sounding loud
Praise ye the sovereign Lord!
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 146 Tune Title: BEDFORD

This is my Father's world
Author: Rev. Maltbie D. Babcock Hymnal: The Hymnal #70 (1950) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Topics: Nature Services Lyrics: 1 This is my Father's world,
And to my listening ears,
All nature sings, and round me rings
The music of the spheres.
This is my Father's world:
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas;
His hand the wonders wrought.
2 This is my Father's world:
The birds their carols raise,
The morning light, the lily white,
Declare their Maker's praise.
This is my Father's world:
He shines in all that's fair;
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass,
He speaks to me everywhere.
3 This is my Father's world:
O let me ne'er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the Ruler yet.
This is my Father's world:
The battle is not done;
Jesus who died shall be satisfied,
And earth and heaven be one.
Amen. Tune Title: TERRA PATRIS
This is my Father's world
When the great sun sinks to his rest
Author: Rev. Maltbie D. Babcock Hymnal: The Hymnal #72a (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Nature Services Lyrics: 1 When the great sun sinks to his rest,
His golden glories thrilling me,
And voiceless longings stir my breast,
Then teach me, Lord, to worship Thee.
2 And when the stars— the daylight fled—
In serried, shining ranks I see,
Filling the splendid vault o’erhead,
Then teach me, Lord, to worship Thee.
3 Or if in solemn forest shades
The calm of nature steals o’er me,
And silence all my soul pervades,
Then teach me, Lord, to worship Thee.
4 Not in the sacred shrines alone,
Which chime their summons unto me,
Would I look upward to Thy throne,
But everywhere would worship Thee.
Amen. Tune Title: ST. VENANTIUS
When the great sun sinks to his rest
When the great sun sinks to his rest
Author: Rev. Maltbie D. Babcock Hymnal: The Hymnal #72b (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Nature Services Lyrics: 1 When the great sun sinks to his rest,

And voiceless longings stir my breast,
Then teach me, Lord, to worship Thee.
2 And when the stars— the daylight fled—
In serried, shining ranks I see,
Filling the splendid vault o’erhead,
Then teach me, Lord, to worship Thee.
3 Or if in solemn forest shades
The calm of nature steals o’er me,
And silence all my soul pervades,
Then teach me, Lord, to worship Thee.
4 Not in the sacred shrines alone,
Which chime their summons unto me,
Would I look upward to Thy throne,
But everywhere would worship Thee.
Amen. Tune Title: RIMINGTON
When the great sun sinks to his rest
The spacious firmament on high
Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: The Hymnal #69 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Topics: Nature Services Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high,
With all the blue ethereal sky,
And spangled heavens, a shining frame,
Their great Original proclaim:
Th' unwearied sun, from day to day,
Does his Creator's power display,
And publishes to every land
The work of an almighty hand.
2 Soon as the evening shades prevail,
The moon takes up the wondrous tale,
And nightly to the listening earth
Repeats the story of her birth;
Whilst all the stars that round her burn,
And all the planets in their turn,
Confirm the tidings as they roll,
And spread the truth from pole to pole.
3 What though in solemn silence all
Move round this dark terrestrial ball?
What though no real voice nor sound
Amidst the radiant orbs be found?
In reason's ear they all rejoice,
And utter forth a glorious voice;
Forever singing, as they shine,
"The hand that made us is divine."
Amen. Tune Title: CREATION
The spacious firmament on high
My God, I thank Thee, who hast made
Author: Adelaide A. Procter Hymnal: The Hymnal #73 (1950) Meter: 8.4.8.4.8.4 Topics: Nature Services Lyrics: 1 My God, I thank Thee, who hast made
The earth so bright,
So full of splendor and of joy,
Beauty and light;
So many glorious things are here,
Noble and right.
2 I thank Thee, too, that Thou hast made
Joy to abound;
So many gentle thoughts and deeds
Circling us round,
That in the darkest spot of earth
Some love is found.
3 I thank Thee, Lord, that Thou hast kept
The best in store;
We have enough, yet not too much
To long for more;
A yearning for a deeper peace
Not known before.
4 I thank Thee, Lord, that here our souls,
Though amply blest,
Can never find, although they seek,
A perfect rest;
Nor ever shall, until they lean
On Jesus' breast.
Amen. Tune Title: WENTWORTH
My God, I thank Thee, who hast made
