with heart and hands and voices,
who wondrous things hath done,
in whom his world rejoices;
who from our mothers' arms
has blessed us on our way
with countless gifts of love,
and still is ours today.
2 Oh, may this bounteous God
through all our life be near us,
with ever-joyful hearts
and blessèd peace to cheer us,
to keep us in his grace,
and guide us when perplexed,
and free us from all ills
in this world and the next.

our wakening and uprising prove;
through sleep and darkness safely brought,
restored to life, and power, and thought.
2 New mercies, each returning day,
hover around us while we pray, --
new perils past, new sins forgiven,
new thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.
3 If, on our daily course, our mind
be set to hallow all we find,
new treasures still, of countless price,
God will provide for sacrifice.
4 The trivial round, the common task,
will furnish all we ought to ask, --
room to deny ourselves, a road
to bring us daily nearer God.

for perfect life with you above;
and help us, this and every day,
to live more nearly as we pray. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:31 Used With Tune: TRURO

Where high the heavenly temple stands
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 204 hymnals Topics: Our Response to God in intercession and petition Lyrics: 1 Where high the heavenly temple stands,
the house of God not made with hands,
a great High Priest our nature wears,
Jesus, the Son of God, appears.
2 He who for us our surety stood,
and poured on earth his precious blood,
pursues in heaven his mighty plan,
eternal God and Son of Man.
3 Though now ascended up on high,
he bends on earth a brother's eye;
partaker of the human name,
he knows the frailty of our frame.
4 Our fellow-sufferer yet retains
a fellow-feeling of our pains;
and still remembers in the skies
his tears, his agonies and cries.
5 In every pang that rends the heart
the Man of Sorrows has a part;
he sympathizes with our grief,
and to the sufferer sends relief.
6 With boldness, therefore, at the throne,
let us make all our sorrows known;
and ask the aid of heavenly power
to help us in the evil hour. Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16 Used With Tune: PUER NOBIS NASCITUR Text Sources: Scottish Paraphrases, 1781, Paraphrase 58, alt.

like the wideness of the sea;
there’s a kindness in his justice,
which is more than liberty.

are more felt than in God's heaven:
there is no place where earth's failings
have such kindly judgment given.
3 For the love of God is broader
than the measure of the mind;
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind.
4 If our love were but more faithful,
we should take him at his word;
and our life be filled with glory
from the glory of the Lord. Scripture: 1 John 4:16 Used With Tune: ALL FOR JESUS
There's a wideness in God's mercy

in the mellow rays;

over all the world,
and his banner gleaming,
everywhere unfurled.
Broad and deep and glorious,
as the heaven above,
shines in might victorious

your pure radiance pour;
for your loving-kindness
make us love you more.
And, when clouds are drifting
dark across the sky,
then, the veil uplifting,
Father, still be nigh.

though you veil your light;
life is dark without you;
death with you is bright.

on our pilgrim way;
still go on before us,
to the endless day. Scripture: 1 Chronicles 16:23 Used With Tune: RUTH
