[Gen 1:1] Creator Of The Earth And Sky
Creator of the earth and sky,
Ruling the firmament on high,
Clothing the day with robes of light,
Blessing with gracious sleep the night.That rest may comfort weary men,
And brace to useful toil again,
And soothe awhile the harassed mind,
And sorrow’s heavy load unbind.Day sinks; we thank Thee for Thy gift;
Night comes; and once again we lift
Our prayer and vows and hymns that we
Against all ills may shielded be.Thee let the secret heart acclaim,
Thee let our tuneful voices name,
Round Thee our chaste affections cling
Thee sober reason own as King.That when black darkness closes day,
And shadows thicken round our way,
Faith may no darkness know, and night
From faith’s clear beam may borrow light.Rest not, my heaven born mind and will;
Rest, all the thoughts and deeds of ill;
May faith its watch unwearied keep,
And cool the dreaming warmth of sleep.From cheats of sense, Lord, keep me free;
And let my heart’s depth dream of Thee;
Let not my envious foe draw near,
To break my rest with any fear.Pray we the Father and the Son,
And Holy Ghost: O Three in One,
Blest Trinity, whom all obey,
Guard Thou Thy sheep by night and day.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Gen 1:1] Eternal God, Mover Unmoved
Eternal God, mover unmoved,
Your frightful power was greatly proved
When you made all from naught.
You formed man in your image bright.
You spared our parents no delight
And all your world was good and right
While your just will man sought.A foe more ancient than the earth,
Who reached for your high place of worth,
Then launched his fatal plan.
And though your law was only one,
Eve took and ate, and having done,
Bade Adam eat, and in that one
All died, and so fell man.Our foe was pleased, but could not tell
Your plan of grace for man who fell,
Nor measure your design.
For so to point to future grace,
You set apart a holy race
Through faith in what would soon take place,
Though veiled with law and sign.You willed for slaughtered lambs to show
The way in which your Lamb would go
When ransoming his own.
For though in one man, mankind fell,
This second Adam conquered Hell,
And rising, conquered death as well,
Then reassumed His throne.Thus while your children war below
With flesh and with our ancient foe,
Our victory is sure.
For you will come with trump and light,
And end what’s left of Satan’s might,
And take us home for your delight,
Eternally secure.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

God, that madest earth and Heaven, darkness and light;
Who the day for toil hast given, for rest the night;
May Thine angel guards defend us,
Slumber sweet Thy mercy send us;
Holy dreams and hopes attend us, all through the night.And when morn again shall call us, to run life’s way,
May we still, whatever befall us, Thy will obey.
From the power of evil hide us,
In the narrow pathway guide us,
Nor Thy smile be ever denied us all through the day.Guard us waking, guard us sleeping, and when we die,
May we in Thy mighty keeping all peaceful lie;
When the last dread call shall wake us,
Do not Thou, our God, forsake us,
But to reign in glory take us with Thee on high.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

Give each lawful aim success;
In our time of need draw nigh,
Saying, “Fear not, it is I.”

Hearts, as well as voices, mingling prayer with praise.When the sun ariseth in a cloudless sky,

Shed Thy radiance o’er us, keep it cloudless still,
Through the day before us, perfecting Thy will.Refrain
When the fight is fiercest, in the noontide heat,
Bear us, Holy Spirit, to our Savior’s feet;
There to find a refuge, till our work is done,
There to fight the battle, till the battle’s won.Refrain

And still renew us, lest we miss
Through earthly stain our heavenly bliss.That us, who here this day repair
To keep the Apostles’ time of prayer,
And hymn the quiet hours of morn,
With blessèd gifts He may adorn.For this, Redeemer, Thee we pray
That Thou wilt wash our sins away,
And of Thy lovingkindness grant
Whate’er of good our spirits want.That exiles here awhile in flesh
Some earnest may our souls refresh
Of that pure life for which we long,
Some foretaste of the heavenly song.O Father, that we ask be done,

That grief may cleanse each deed of ill,
And o’er each lust may triumph still.Let every soul Thy law obey,
And keep from every evil way;
Rejoice each promised good to win
And flee from every mortal sin.O Father, that we ask be done,
Through Jesus Christ, Thine only Son;
Who, with the Holy Ghost and Thee,
Doth live and reign eternally.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Gen 1:9] O Boundless Wisdom, God Most High
O boundless Wisdom, God most high,
O Maker of the earth and sky,
Who bid’st the parted waters flow
In heaven above, on earth below.The streams on earth, the clouds in heaven,
By Thee their ordered bounds were given,
Lest ’neath the untempered fires of day
The parchèd soil should waste away.E’en so on us who seek thy face
Pour forth the waters of thy grace;
Renew the fount of life within,
And quench the wasting fires of sin.Let faith discern the eternal Light
Beyond the darkness of the night,
And through the mists of falsehood see
The path of truth revealed by Thee.O Father, that we ask be done,
Through Jesus Christ, Thine only Son;
Who, with the Holy Ghost and Thee,
Doth live and reign eternally.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Gen 1:9] O God, The Joy Of Heav’n Above
O God, the joy of Heav’n above,
Thou didst not need Thy creatures’ love,
When from Thy secret place of rest
Thy Word the earth’s foundations blest.Thou spakest: worlds began to be;
They bow before Thy majesty;
And all to their Creator raise
A wondrous harmony of praise.But ere, O Lord, this lovely earth
From Thy creative will had birth,
Thou in Thy counsels didst unfold
Another world of fairer mold.That realm shall our Redeemer frame,
And build upon His mighty Name;
His hand the word of power shall sow,
That all the earth His truth may know.When time itself has passed away,
His Church, secure in Heav’n for aye,
Shall share His table and His throne,
And God the Father reign alone.O Father, Son, and Spirit blest,
One God in Heav’n and earth confessed,
Preserve, direct, and fill with love
Thy realm on earth, Thy realm above.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Gen 1:9] Thou Spakest, Lord, And Into One
Thou spakest, Lord, and into one
The floods together flowed;
Freed from its watery veil, the land
Its verdant pastures showed.O Father, who the earth has given
Our place of toil to be,
Knit all within its one wide bound
In one true charity.Strangers and pilgrims here below,
We seek a home above,
Where Thou wilt gather in Thine own
Who live in holy love.Unloving words, with deeds of ill
And words of angry strife,
Shall never, Lord, Thy glory see,
Nor win the heavenly life.The earth itself from day to day
Their burden scarce sustains,
And yearns, in travail, to be free
From dark corruption’s chains.Yea, we too groan within ourselves,
And that adoption wait
For which the Holy Spirit’s seal
Did us predestinate.Eternal glory be ascribed
To God, the One in Three,
By Whom is poured into our hearts
The grace of charity.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Gen 1:12] Beautiful Bright Sunshine, The
The beautiful bright sunshine,
That smiles on all below,
The waving trees, the cool, soft breeze,
The rippling streams that flow,
The shadows on the hillsides,
The many tinted flowers,
O God! how fair Thy loving care
Has made this earth of ours!The beautiful affections
That gather round our way,
The joys that rise from household ties,
And deepen day by day;
The tender love that guards us
Whenever danger lowers,
O God! how fair Thy loving care
Has made this earth of ours!But brighter is the shining,
And tender is the love,
And purer still the joys which fill
The unseen home above—
The home where all His children
Shall sing with fuller power,
“O God! how fair Thy loving care
Has made this earth of ours!”Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Gen 1:14] Another Year Is Dawning
Another year is dawning, dear Father, let it be
In working or in waiting, another year with Thee.
Another year of progress, another year of praise,
Another year of proving Thy presence all the days.Another year of mercies, of faithfulness and grace,
Another year of gladness in the shining of Thy face;
Another year of leaning upon Thy loving breast;
Another year of trusting, of quiet, happy rest.Another year of service, of witness for Thy love,
Another year of training for holier work above.
Another year is dawning, dear Father, let it be
On earth, or else in Heaven, another year for Thee.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Gen 1:14] New Wonders Of Thy Mighty Hand
New wonders of Thy mighty hand,
Lord, we today admire,
Writ on the firmament above
In glittering orbs of fire.The sun is ruler of the day,
The silver moon of night,
The starry hosts adorn the sky
In ordered ranks of light.But e’en that glorious sun must set,
And knows his going down,
That silver moon must wax and wane,
The stars their courses own.Still in an ever changing round
The daylight comes and goes;
But Thou art evermore the same,
No change Thy mercy knows.Why waver then our troubled hearts?
Thine is a Father’s care;
And they, eternal life who seek,
Eternal life shall share.All praise, all glory be ascribed
To God the One in Three,
Who bids us cast our care on Him,
To Him for comfort flee.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Gen 1:16] Creator Of The Stars Of Night
Creator of the stars of night,
Thy people’s everlasting light,
Jesu, Redeemer, save us all,
And hear Thy servants when they call.Thou, grieving that the ancient curse
Should doom to death a universe,
Hast found the medicine, full of grace,
To save and heal a ruined race.Thou cam’st, the Bridegroom of the bride,
As drew the world to evening-tide;
Proceeding from a virgin shrine,
The spotless Victim all divine.At Whose dread Name, majestic now,
All knees must bend, all hearts must bow;
And things celestial Thee shall own,
And things terrestrial, Lord alone.O Thou Whose coming is with dread
To judge and doom the quick and dead,
Preserve us, while we dwell below,
From every insult of the foe.To God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, Three in One,
Laud, honor, might, and glory be
From age to age eternally.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Gen 1:16] Maker Of The Sun And Moon, The
The Maker of the sun and moon,
The Maker of our earth,
Lo! late in time, a fairer boon,
Himself is brought to birth!How blest was all creation then,
When God so gave increase;
And Christ, to heal the hearts of men,
Brought righteousness and peace!No star in all the heights of heaven
But burned to see Him go;
Yet unto earth alone was given
His human form to know.His human form, by man denied,
Took death for human sin:
His endless love, through faith descried,
Still lives the world to win.O perfect love, outpassing sight,
O light beyond our ken,
Come down through all the world tonight,
And heal the hearts of men!Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Gen 1:16] Most Holy Lord And God Of Heaven
Most holy Lord and God of Heaven,
Who to the glowing sky hast given
The fires that in the east are born
With gradual splendors of the morn;Who, on the fourth day, didst reveal
The sun’s enkindled flaming wheel,
Didst set the moon her ordered ways,
And stars their ever winding maze;That each in its appointed way
Might separate night from day,
And of the seasons through the year
The well remembered signs declare;Illuminate our hearts within,
And cleanse our minds from stain of sin;
Unburdened of our guilty load
May we unfettered serve our God.O Father, that we ask be done,
Through Jesus Christ, Thine only Son;
Who, with the Holy Ghost and Thee,
Doth live and reign eternally.Play source: Cyberhymnal
