are precious in your sight.

serving others, honouring you.

who walked upon the foaming deep
and calm amid the storm didst sleep:
oh hear us when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea.
3 O Holy Spirit, who did brood
Upon the waters dark and rude,
and bade their angry tumult cease,
and gave, for wild confusion, peace:
oh hear us when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea.
4 O Trinity of love and power,
our kindred shield in danger's hour;
from rock and tempest, fire and foe,
protect them wheresoe'er they go;

glad hymns of praise from land and sea. Scripture: Genesis 1:2 Used With Tune: MELITA
Eternal father, strong to save
Wherefore Do the Nations Rage
Meter: 7.7.7.7 D with refrain Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Rulers Lyrics: 1 Wherefore do the nations rage
And the people vainly dream
That in triumph they can wage
War against the King supreme?
Christ His Son a scoff they make,
And the rulers plotting say:
Their dominion let us break,
Let us cast their yoke away,
Their dominion let us break,
Let us cast their yoke away.
2 But the Lord will scorn them all,
Calm He sits enthroned on high;
Soon His wrath will on them fall,
Sore displeased He will reply:
Yet according to My will
I have set My King to reign,
And on Zion's holy hill
My Anointed I maintain,
And on Zion's holy hill
My Anointed I maintain.
3 This His word shall be made known,
This Jehovah's firm decree:
Thou art My beloved Son,
Yea, I have begotten Thee.
All the earth at Thy request
I will give Thee for Thy own;
Then Thy might shall be confessed
And Thy foes be overthrown,
Then Thy might shall be confessed
And Thy foes be overthrown.
4 Therefore, kings, be wise, give ear;
Hearken, judges of the earth;
Learn to serve the Lord with fear,
Mingle trembling with your mirth.
Kiss the Son, lest o'er your way
His consuming wrath should break;
But supremely blest are they
Who in Christ their refuge take,
But supremely blest are they
Who in Christ their refuge take. Scripture: Psalm 2 Used With Tune: MENDELSSOHN

all your wondrous works proclaim;
in the heavens with radiant signs
evermore your glory shines.

telling of your glorious ways;
weakest means work out your will,
mighty enemies to still.
3 Moon and stars in shining height
nightly tell their Maker's might;
when I view the heavens afar,
then I know how small we are.
4 Who are we that we should share
in your love and tender care
raised to an exalted height,
crowned with honour in your sight?

o'er the creatures of your hand;
all to us subjection yield,
in the sea and air and field. Scripture: Psalm 8 Used With Tune: GOTT SEI DANK DURCH ALLER WELT Text Sources: Paraphrase, Psalter 1912

With truth and righteousness endowed,
That justice may on earth be done,
The meek protected from the proud.
2 Then over mountain side and plain
Shall peace spring forth from righteousness;
The poor man's cause will He maintain,
And save the week, that none oppress.
3 Then shall Thy fear on earth be known
Long as the sun and moon shall shine;
While endless generations run
Kingdom and glory shall be Thine.
4 Like copious rain in time of dearth,
So shall His gracious coming be;
As gentle show'rs that cheer the earth,
So He shall bring prosperity.
5 The just shall flourish in His day,
And evermore shall peace extend;
From sea to sea shall be His sway,
And to the earth's remotest end.
6 The desert lands to Him shall bow,
And all the islands of the sea,
And kings with gifts shall pay their vow,
His enemies shall bend the knee.
7 In great compassion for the weak
He ever will maintain their right,
Will help the poor and save the meek;
Their lives are precious in His sight. Scripture: Psalm 72 Used With Tune: HURSLEY
