In our day of thanksgiving one psalm let us offer
For the saints who before us have found their reward;
When the shadow of death fell upon them, we sorrowed,
But now we rejoice that they rest in the Lord.
In the morning of life, and at noon, and at even,
He called them away from our worship below;
But not till his love, at the font and the altar,
Had girt them with grace for the way they should go.
These stones that have echoed their praises are holy,
And dear is the ground where their feet have once trod;
Yet here they confessed they were strangers and pilgrims,
And still they were seeking the city of God.
Sing praise, then, for all who here sought and here found him,
Whose journey is ended, whose perils are past:
They believed in the Light; and its glory is round them,
Where the clouds of earth’s sorrow are lifted at last.

This is my Father’s world; the birds their carols raise;
The morning light, the lily white declare their Maker’s praise.
This is my Father’s world, He shines in all that’s fair;
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass; He speaks to me everywhere.
This is my Father’s world; O, let me not forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the Ruler yet.
This is my Father’s world; why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King, let the heavens ring! God reigns; let earth be glad!

Sing to the Lord aloud, And make a joyful noise;
God is our strength, our Saviour God; Let Isr'el hear his voice.
"From vile idolatry Preserve my worship clean;
I am the Lord, who set thee free From slavery and sin.
"Stretch thy desires abroad, And I'll supply them well:
But if ye will refuse your God, If Isr'el will rebel;
"I'll leave them," saith the Lord, "To their own lusts a prey,
And let them run the dang'rous road, 'Tis their own chosen way.
"Yet, O! that all my saints Would hearken to my voice!
Soon I would ease their sore complaints, And bid their hearts rejoice.
"While I destroy their foes, I'd richly feed my flock;
And they should taste the stream that flows From their eternal rock."

Declare to all people now His marvellous glory,
Show His marvellous glory.
- Text based on Psalm 96:1,2,3
When in our music God is glorified,
and adoration leaves no room for pride,
it is as though the whole creation cried: Alleluia!
How often, making music, we have found
a new dimension in the world of sound,
as worship moved us to a more profound Alleluia!
So has the church, in liturgy and song,
in faith and love, through centuries of wrong,
borne witness to the truth in every tongue: Alleluia!
And did not Jesus sing a psalm that night
when utmost evil strove against the light?
Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight: Alleluia!
Let every instrument be tuned for praise!
Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise!
And may God give us faith to sing always: Alleluia!

How most exact is nature's frame! how wise th' Eternal Mind!
Your counsels need not change the scheme that your first thoughts designed.
All nature, time, and earth, and skies, proclaim your heavenly skill;
we need your truth to make us wise, obedient, to your will.
God, you redeem your chosen ones; your covenant is strong.
The orders that your lips pronounce will keep us free from wrong.
Your Son, the great Redeemer, came with ways both just and pure;
and holy, reverent is his name; he makes our path secure.
- Isaac Watts, 1719
