TRANSCRIPT
Before Jehovah's awful throne
1.
Before Jehovah's awful throne,
Ye nations bow with sacred joy;
Know that the Lord is God alone;
He can create, and he destroy.
Before Jehovah's awful throne
2.
His sovereign power, without our aid,
Made us of clay, and formed us men;
And when like wandering sheep we strayed,
He brought us to his fold again.
Before Jehovah's awful throne
3.
We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs,
High as the heavens our voices raise;
And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise.
Before Jehovah's awful throne
4.
Wide as the world is thy command;
Vast as eternity thy love;
Firm as a rock thy truth shall stand,
When rolling years shall cease to move.
Now thank we all our God
1.Now thank we all our GodWith hearts and hands and voices,Who wondrous things hath done,In whom his world rejoices;Who from our mothers' armsHath blessed us on our wayWith countless gifts of love,And still is ours today.
Now thank we all our God
2.O may this bounteous GodThrough all our life be near us,With ever-joyful heartsAnd blessed peace to cheer us,And keep us in his grace,And guide us when perplexed,And free us from all illsIn this world and the next.
Now thank we all our God
3.All praise and thanks to GodThe Father now be given,The Son and him who reignsWith them in highest Heaven.The one eternal God,Whom earth and Heaven adore;For thus it was, is now,And shall be evermore.
Beyond the farthest bounds of earth
1.
Beyond the farthest bounds of earth,
Beyond the ocean's line,
Beyond the starlit universe
We sense a power divine.
Beyond the farthest bounds of earth
2.
The lines and circles, planes and arcs
Which we by science trace
All indicate a master mind,
Its beauty, truth and grace.
Beyond the farthest bounds of earth
3.
Like searching eyes earth's telescopes
The fiery heavens scan;
And now the music of the spheres
Is heard by listening man.
Beyond the farthest bounds of earth
4.
Lord, as we seek for vaster truth,
And as our spaceships soar,
Help us to recognize your might
And praise your mercy more.
Beyond the farthest bounds of earth
5.
For you, who set the ordinance
Of worlds beyond our sight,
Have given us minds desiring truth
And hearts that know delight.
Beyond the farthest bounds of earth
6.
Lord, teach us in your only Son
To reach the way we dream,
To follow truth as he knew truth,
And find the life supreme.

O bright eternal One
1.
O bright eternal One,
Thy voice commanded light
And from the shapeless void
Called order and delight!
O bright eternal One
2.
Through thunder, fire and calm
Thy secret thought have stirred
The hearts of humble men
Who waited on thy word.
O bright eternal One
3.
O Word invisible,
We see thee now appear
Along the path we tread,
For Jesus Christ is here!
O bright eternal One
4.
O loving, living Lord,
Thou hast in Jesus given
A purpose and a way
For travelers to Heaven!
O bright eternal One
5.
Then let us dwell in him
Whose dwelling is above,
And seek until we know,
And love until we love.
O bright eternal One
6.
O ever-living Lord,
Our hearts and lips shall prove
The beauty of thy house,
The glory of thy love!
If human hearts are often tender
1.
If human hearts are often tender,
And human minds can pity know,
If human love is touched with splendor,
And human hands compassion show,
If human hearts are often tender
Then how much more shall God our Father
In love forgive, in love forgive!
Then how much more shall God our Father
Our wants supply, and none deny!
If human hearts are often tender
2.
If sometimes men can live for others,
And sometimes give where gifts are spurned,
If sometimes treat their foes as brothers,
And love where love is not returned,
If human hearts are often tender
3.
If men will often share their gladness,
If men respond when children cry,
If men can feel each other's sadness,
Each other's tears attempt to dry,
I know thee who thou art
1.
I know thee who thou art,
And what thy healing name;
For when my fainting heart
The burden nigh o'ercame,
I saw thy footprints on my road
Where lately passed the Son of God.
I know thee who thou art
2.
Thy name is joined with mine
By every human tie,
And my new name is thine,
A child of God am I;
And never more alone, since thou
Art on the road beside me now.
I know thee who thou art
3.
Beside thee as I walk,
I will delight in thee
In sweet communion talk
Of all thou art to me;
The beauty of thy face behold
And know thy mercies manifold.
I know thee who thou art
4.
Let nothing draw me back
Or turn my heart from thee,
But by the Calvary track
Bring me at last to see
The courts of God, that city fair,
And find my name is written there.
A child this day is born
1.
A child this day is born,
A child of high renown,
Most worthy of a scepter,
A scepter and a crown.
A child this day is born
Noel, Noel, Noel,
Noel, sing all we may,
Because the King of all kings
Was born this blessed day.
A child this day is born
2.
These tidings shepherds heard
While watching o'er their fold;
'Twas by an angel told them,
That night revealed and told.
A child this day is born
3.
They saw a host on high,
In robes of white arrayed,
Which said: go ye to Bethlehem,
And be ye not afraid.
A child this day is born
4.
This day your Lord is born,
By name Immanuel,
Whom prophets long ago foretold
Should ransom Israel.
A child this day is born
5.
The shepherds joyful sped
To Bethlehem straightway,
And while with joy they hasten on
They chant this sacred lay:
A child this day is born
6.
All glory be to God
Who reigns enthroned on high,
Goodwill to men and peace on earth.
O wondrous melody!
