Our hearts and voices in his praise;
His nature and his works invite

And makes the broken spirit whole.
3 He form'd the stars, those heav'nly flames,
He counts their numbers, calls their names,

He sees their hope, he knows their fear,
And finds and loves his image there. Scripture: Psalm 147 Languages: English

But man who tastes his finest wheat,
Should raise his honours high.

And wintry days appear.

Descend and clothe the ground;
The liquid streams forbear to flow,
In icy fetters bound.
6 When from the dreadful stores on high
He pours the sounding hail,
The wretch that dares his God defy
Shall find his courage fail.

And bids the spring return.

He makes the Grass the Mountains crown,
And Corn in Vallies grow.
3 He gives the grazing Ox his Meat,
He hears the Ravens cry;
But Man who tastes his finest Wheat,
Should raise his Honours high.
4 His steady Counsels change the Face
Of the declining Year;
He bids the Sun cut short his Race,
And wint'ry Days appear.
5 His hoary frost, his fleecy snow,
Descend and clothe the Ground;
The liquid Streams forbear to flow,
In icy Fetters bound.
6 When from the dreadful Stores on high
He pours the rattling Hail,
The Wretch that dares this GOD defy
Shall find his Courage fail.
7 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.
8 The changing Wind, the flying Cloud,
Obey his mighty Word;
With Songs and Honours sounding loud,
Praise ye the sov'reign Lord. Scripture: Psalm 147:7-9 Languages: English

Let Zion praise the mighty God
Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #P.CXLVII.II (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Summer and Winter Lyrics: 9 Let Zion praise the mighty God,
And make his honours known abroad;
For sweet the joy, our songs to raise,
And glorious is the work of praise.
10 Our children live secure and blest;
Our shores have peace, our cities rest;
He feeds our sons with finest wheat,
And adds his blessings to their meat.
11 The changing seasons he ordains,
The early and the latter rains;
His flakes of snow like wool he sends,
And thus the springing corn defends.
12 With hoary frost he strews the ground;
His hail descends with dreadful sound:
His icy bands the rivers hold,
And terror arms his wintry cold.
13 He bids the warmer breezes blow,
The ice dissolves, the waters flow.
But he hath nobler works and ways
To call his people to his praise.
14 Thro' all our realm his laws are shown,
His gospel thro' the nation known;
He hath not thus reveal'd his word
To ev'ry land: Praise ye the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 147 Languages: English
Let Zion praise the mighty God

I Sought the Wood in Summer
Author: Willa Cather, 1893-1947 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #328 (1993) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Humanist Teachings Beauty, Truth, and Goodness; Seasons and Cycles; Summer; Winter Lyrics: 1 I sought the wood in summer
when every twig was green;
the rudest boughs were tender,
and buds were pink between.
Light-fingered aspens trembled
in fitful sun and shade,
and daffodils were golden
in every starry glade.
2 “How frail a thing is Beauty,”
I said, “when every breath
she gives the vagrant summer
but swifter woos her death.
For this the star dust troubles,
for this have ages rolled:
to deck the wood for bridal
and slay her with the cold.”
3 I sought the wood in winter
when every leaf was dead;
behind the wind-whipped branches
the winter sun was red.
The birches, white and slender,
in breathless marble stood,
the brook, a white immortal,
slept silent in the wood.
4 “How sure a thing is Beauty,”
I cried. “No bolt can slay,
nor wave nor shock despoil her,
nor ravishers dismay.
The granite hills are slighter,
the sea more like to fail,
behind the rose the planet,
the Law behind the veil.” Languages: English Tune Title: MERLE'S TUNE
