HYMNS
Hymn #283
Praise we the Lord, for His mercy endureth forever. / Let us extol Him with joyous and loving endeavor; / Come let us sing, / Praising our God and our King, / Should we be silent? Ah, never.
Praise we the Lord, who our footsteps / still holdeth from sliding; / Daily He campeth about us, protecting and guiding; / E’en while we sleep / Watch doth He tenderly keep; / Ever new mercies providing.
Praise we the Lord with a joyous and glad adoration; / Lo, unto them that believe there is no condemnation; / Now will we raise / Songs of thanksgiving and praise, / Christ is become our salvation.
Hymn #206
O God, our Father-Mother, Love, / Purge Thou our hearts from sin, / That in Thy radiancy divine / We may with eyes undimmed define / Thy will, reality.
O God, our Father-Mother, Truth, / Send forth Thy light sublime, / That in its pure and cleansing rays / We may, with thought attuned to praise, / Behold reality.
O God, our Father-Mother, Life, / Reveal in us Thy might, / That henceforth we may live to Thee, / In all our ways reflecting Thee, / And know reality.
Hymn #547
O, sometimes gleams upon our sight, / Through present wrong, th’ eternal right; / And step by step, since time began, / We see the steady gain of man.
For all of good the past has had / Remains to make our own time glad, / Our common, daily life divine, / And every land a Palestine.
Through the harsh noises of our day, / A low sweet prelude finds its way; / Through clouds of doubt and creeds of fear / A light is breaking, calm and clear.
Henceforth my heart shall sigh no more / For olden time and holier shore: / God’s love and blessing, then and there, / Are now and here and everywhere.
