Now As Evening Shadows Falling

Author: Edward C. Deas, d. 1944 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #36 (2011) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Now as evening shadows falling, Gracious God we turn to Thee; Now in pity hear us calling, Save from sin and set us free. Thou art gracious, Thou art gracious; Keep us safe till morn appears. Grant us all Thy safe protection Till we rest from earthly cares. 2 As the day its journey closing, Gracious God, as night comes on, When on beds of rest reposing, Keep us safe till morning's dawn. We are helpless, we are helpless; Thou must save us, or we die. Grant us food and rest and shelter Till we reach Thy home on high. 3 Night and noonday are Thy making, Both were fashioned by Thy love; Through creation's undertaking, Both were sent us from above. They were needed, they were needed, All Thy mercies to approve. Grant us hours of earthly pleasures Till we meet Thee up above. Amen.

For the Music of Creation

Author: Shirley Erena Murray, b. 1931 Hymnal: Sing! A New Creation #37 (2002) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 For the music of creation, for the song your Spirit sings, for your sound’s divine expression, burst of joy in living things: God, our God, the world’s composer, hear us, echoes of your voice. Music is your art, your glory; let the human heart rejoice! 2 Psalms and symphonies exalt you, drum and trumpet, string and reed. Simple melodies acclaim you, tunes that rise from deepest need, hymns of longing and belonging, carols from a cheerful throat, lilt of lullaby and love song catching heaven in a note. 3 All the voices of the ages in transcendent chorus meet, worship lifting up the senses, hands that praise and dancing feet; over discord and division music speaks your joy and peace, harmony of earth and heaven, song of God that cannot cease!

Lord, 'Tis Not that I did Choose Thee

Author: Josiah Conder Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #37 (1941) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Lord, 'tis not that I did choose Thee; That, I know, could never be; For this heart would still refuse Thee Had Thy grace not chosen me. Thou hast from the sin that stained me Washed and cleansed and set me free And unto this end ordained me, That I ever live to Thee. 2 'Twas Thy grace in Christ that called me, Taught my darkened heart and mind; Else the world had yet enthralled me, To Thy heav'nly glories blind. Now my heart owns none above Thee; For Thy grace alone I thirst, Knowing well that, if I love Thee, Thou, O Lord, didst love me first. 3 Praise the God of all creation; Praise the Father's boundless love. Praise the Lamb, our Expiation, Priest and King enthroned above. Praise the Spirit of salvation, Him by whom our spirits live. Undivided adoration To the great Jehovah give. Amen.

By mercy of God's guidance we now worship in this place. Through the faith of those before us who believed and knew God's word they went forth into the future with the gospel they had heard. Offer prayers of true thanksgiving for believers of the past who with hope and dedication formed a church they prayed would last. In the following generations a fellowship has come to be. This a place of prayer and teaching so God's truth can make all free. Speak with real appreciation for the heritage we own. In our lives and in our serving may our faith be clearly shown. As God's people of the Covenant let us live what we profess by our acts and deeds of mercy show the Christ that we confess. Sing, all sing with jubilation for this fellowship we own, building on the firm foundation our commitment here is shown. As we look to years before us and give thanks for days now past, we go forward with God's blessing to be faithful as God asked. Topics: Fellowship Languages: English

All the Music Sung and Played Here

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Songs of Grace #37 (2009) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: All the music sung and played here is a gift, O God, from you Lyrics: All the music sung and played here is a gift, O God, from you. For as long as we have prayed here, we’ve been blessed by music, too. By your Spirit, each musician finds new depths of faith to share. Music is a gift you’ve given and becomes our thankful prayer. All creation sings your glory; in the Psalms are pain and praise. Mary sang your saving story in her long, expectant days. Through the years, with great emotion, some have reached to you in song. May we sing with such devotion; music helps your church grow strong! You give hymns and songs for singing, toes for tapping your good news, Organ sounding, hand bells ringing, faithful hearers in the pews. With the trumpet and the cymbal, with guitar and violin, Faith is found here and rekindled; hearts are lifted, once again. Bless the talents we are bringing, for we offer you our best. If our gifts are not in singing, may our joyful noise be blest. If our world is ever silent, may we sign to you above. Touched by grace, may each one present offer back your song of love.
