For The Beauty of The Earth

1 For the beauty of the earth, for the glory of the skies, for the love which from our birth over and around us lies;
REFRAIN: Lord of all, to thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise.
2 For the beauty of each hour of the day and of the night, hill and vale, and tree and flower, sun and moon, and stars of light; REFRAIN
3 For the joy of ear and eye, for the heart and mind’s delight, for the mystic harmony, linking sense to sound and sight; REFRAIN
4 For the joy of human love, brother, sister, parent, child, friends on earth and friends above, for all gentle thoughts and mild; REFRAIN
5 For thy church, that evermore lifteth holy hands above, offering up on every shore her pure sacrifice of love; REFRAIN
6 For thyself, best Gift Divine, to the world so freely given, for that great, great love of thine, peace on earth, and joy in heaven: REFRAIN

Through It All (UMH 507)

1 I’ve had many tears and sorrows, I’ve had questions for tomorrow, there’s been times I didn’t know right from wrong. But in every situation, God gave me blessed consolation, that my trials come to only make me strong.
REFRAIN:
Through it all, through it all, I’ve learned to trust in Jesus, I’ve learned to trust in God. Through it all, through it all, I’ve learned to depend upon His Word.
2 I’ve been to lots of places, I’ve seen a lot of faces, there’s been times I felt so all alone. But in my lonely hours, yes, those precious lonely hours, Jesus lets me know that I was His own. REFRAIN
3 I thank God for the mountains, and I thank Him for the valleys, I thank Him for the storms. He brought me through. For if I’d never had a problem, I wouldn’t know God could solve them, I’d never know what faith in God could do.  REFRAIN

Refrain:
Faith of the fathers, holy faith, we will be true to thee till death.

In The Garden

In The Garden – 12/14/23 Rehearsal

1. I come to the garden alone while the dew is still on the roses, and the voice I hear falling on my ear, the Son of God discloses.
Refrain:
And he walks with me, and he talks with me, and he tells me I am his own; and the joy we share as we tarry there, none other has ever known.
2. He speaks, and the sound of his voice is so sweet the birds hush their singing, and the melody that he gave to me within my heart is ringing. (Refrain)
3. I’d stay in the garden with him though the night around me be falling, but he bids me go; thru the voice of woe his voice to me is calling. (Refrain)
