Church Hymns

“Morning Has Broken”

1. Morning has broken, like the first morning

Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird

Praise for the singing, praise for the morning

Praise for the springing fresh from the word

2. Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven

Like the first dewfall, on the first grass

Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden

Sprung in completeness where his feet pass

 

3. Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning

Born of the one light, Eden saw play

Praise with elation, praise every morning

God's recreation of the new day

“All Are Welcome”1. Let us build a housewhere love can dwellAnd all can safely live,A place wheresaints and children tellHow hearts learn to forgive.

2. Built of hopes and dreams and visions,Rock of faith and vault of grace;Here the love of Christ shall end divisions;

3. Let us build a house where prophets speak,And words are strong and true,Where all God's children dare to seekTo dream God's reign anew.

4. Here the cross shall stand as witnessAnd a symbol of God's grace;Here as one we claim the faith of Jesus:

5. Let us build a house where love is foundIn water, wine and wheat:A banquet hall on holy ground,Where peace and justice meet.

All are welcome, all are welcome,All are welcome in this place. 

“Amazing Grace”

1. Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,That saved a wretch like me.I once was lost but now am found,Was blind, but now I see.

2. T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.And Grace, my fears relieved.How precious did that Grace appearThe hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snaresI have already come;'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus farand Grace will lead me home.

3. The Lord has promised good to me.His word my hope secures.He will my shield and portion be,As long as life endures.

4. Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,And mortal life shall cease,I shall possess within the veil,A life of joy and peace.

5. When we've been here ten thousand yearsBright shining as the sun.We've no less days to sing God's praiseThan when we've first begun.

 

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,That saved a wretch like me.I once was lost but now am found,Was blind, but now I see.

“Song of the Body of Christ” Refrain: We come to share our story. We come to break the bread.We come to know our rising from the dead.

1. We come as your people. We come as your own.United with each other, love finds a home.

2. We are called to heal the broken, to be hope for the poor.We are called to feed the hungry at our door.

3. Bread of life and cup of promise, In this meal we all are one.In our dying and our rising, may your kingdom come.

4. You will lead and we shall follow.ou will be the breath of life; living water, we are thirsting for your light.

5. We will live and sing your praises. "Alleluia" is our song.May we live in love and peace our whole life long.

“Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty”

1. Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee. Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty, God in three persons, blessed Trinity!

2. Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee,casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee, which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.

3.Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide thee,though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see, only thou art holy; there is none beside thee, perfect in power, in love and purity.

4. Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! All thy works shall praise thy name, in earth and sky and sea. Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty, God in three persons, blessed Trinity.

“How wonderful the Three-in-One”

1. How wonderful the Three-in-One,Whose energies of dancing lightAre undivided, pure and good,Communing love in shared delight.

2. Before the flow of dawn and dark,Creation's Lover dreamed of earth,And with a caring deep and wise,All things conceived and brought to birth.

3. The Lover's own Belov'd, in time,Between a cradle and a cross,At home in flesh, gave love and lifeTo heal our brokenness and loss.

4. Their Equal Friend all life sustainsWith greening pow'r and loving care,And calls us, born again by grace,In Love's communing life to share.

5. How wonderful the Living God:Divine Beloved, Empow'ring Friend,Eternal Lover, Three-in-One,Our hope's beginning, way and end.

“Sing with All the Saints in Glory”

1. Sing with all the saints in glory, sing the resurrection song! Death and sorrow, earth’s dark story, to the former days belong. All around the clouds are breaking, soon the storms of time shall cease; in God’s likeness we, awaking, know the everlasting peace. 

2. what glory, far exceeding all that eye has yet perceived! Holiest hearts, for ages pleading, never that full joy conceived. God has promised, Christ prepares it, there on high our welcome waits. Every humble spirit shares it; Christ has passed th’eternal gates.

3. Life eternal! heaven rejoices; Jesus lives, who once was dead. Join we now the deathless voices; child of God, lift up your head! Patriarchs from the distant ages, saints all longing for their heaven, prophets, psalmists, seers, and sages, all await the glory given.

4. Life eternal! O what wonders crowd on faith; what joy unknown, when, amidst earth’s closing thunders, saints shall stand before the throne! O to enter that bright portal, see that glowing firmament; know, with thee, O God Immortal, "Jesus Christ whom thou has sent!”
