Psalms 79:13

• [Psa 79:13] We Lift Our Hearts In Thanks Today

  We lift our hearts in thanks today For all the gifts of life; And first, for peace that turns away The enemies of strife; And next, the beauty of the earth, Its flowers and lovely things, The spring’s great miracle of birth, With sound of songs and wings; Then, harvests of its teeming soil In orchard, croft and field; But more, the service and the toil Of those who helped them yield; And most, the gifts of hope and love, Of wisdom, truth and right, The gifts that shine like stars above To chart the world by night. As we receive, so let us give, With ready, generous hand, Rich fruitage from the lives we live To bless our home and land.

Psalms 106:47

• [Psa 106:47] God Of The Nations, Who From Dawn Of Days

  God of the nations, who from dawn of days, Hast led Thy people in their widening ways, Through Whose deep purpose stranger thousands stand Here in the borders of our promised land. Thine ancient might rebuked the Pharaoh’s boast Thou wast the shield for Israel’s marching host, And, all the ages through, past crumbling throne And broken fetter, Thou hast brought Thine own. Thy hand has led across the hungry sea The eager peoples flocking to be free, And, from the breeds of earth, Thy silent sway Fashions the nation of the broadening day. Then, for Thy grace to grow in brotherhood, For hearts aflame to serve Thy destined good, For faith, and will to win what faith shall see, God of Thy people, hear us cry to Thee.
