Let there be light

I sing at the turning of the year
When the frost melts quickly on the grass
Leaves are fresh, and the sky washed clear
And I know that the winter is past
All praise to you!
All praise to you!
All the earth awakens from its thrall
No more gloom of death to be seen
Stately trees obey the season’s call
And rejoice in a thousand shades of green
All praise to you!
All praise to you!
Each day a new promise I find
New hearing, new sight
The call of the spirit, the opening of my mind
Your voice rings out – “Let there be light!”
Through the clouds a ray of light I see
And a rainbow shimmers in the sky
Colours blend and an archway beckons me
To a hope first heard in ancient times
All praise to you!
All praise to you!

Seasons

Frozen rivers, winter sky
Leaves in springtime, swallows flight
Summer clouds go drifting by
Days grow shorter, bringing autumn nights
Stars that speak infinity
Living things of every kind
Glimpses of eternity
Weaving spells in every human mind
Imagination never bound
Hearts and spirits roaming free
New directions ever found
Limitless his love for you and me
Limitless your gifts of love
Framed with care beyond all art
All the good things from above
Planting seeds in every human heart
All this bounty has a cost
For it all your life you gave
From the manger to the cross
Dead and buried – yet you rose again!.
For no distant God are you
Absent, watching from afar
Kind and gracious, faithful, true
You came down to be just where we are
Gave yourself new life to bring
Brought salvation to the earth
Summer, autumn, winter, spring
Seasons pass, the world awaits
Groaning and expecting its new birth
Even so, Lord Jesus, come
Take your longing people home
Rule us from your golden throne
Even so, Lord Jesus, come

Hear my cry (Psalm 141)

Oh Lord, I cry to you, come quickly to me
Hear my voice when I cry to you, come quickly to me
Let my prayer be set before you like incense
As I lift my hands in sacrifice
Keep the door of my lips, O Lord, keep watch over me
My heart is drawn to evil things, keep watch over me
Let the righteous man reprove and chastise me
It’s the oil of kindness on my head
Hear my cry
Hear my cry
For my eyes look only to you, O Lord my God
And my spirit trusts in you, O Lord my God
Keep me from the snares that men have laid for me
As the wicked fall I walk safely by
Hear my cry
Hear my cry

Writer of history’s pages, keeper of the book of time
Goal of saints and sages, wisdom hidden and wisdom sublime
Light come down from heaven, walking in the world you made
For salvation given, alone, forsaken and by your world betrayed
Giver of the Spirit - friend, companion, source of power
Walking in my presence day by day and hour by hour
Bringing heaven close to me
Living wide and living free

Promise

1. O Jesus, I have promised
to serve thee to the end;
be thou forever near me,
my Master and my friend.
I shall not fear the battle
if thou art by my side,
nor wander from the pathway
if thou wilt be my guide.
2. O let me feel thee near me!
The world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
the tempting sounds I hear;
my foes are ever near me,
around me and within;
but Jesus, draw thou nearer,
and shield my soul from sin.
3. O let me hear thee speaking
in accents clear and still,
above the storms of passion,
the murmurs of self-will.
O speak to reassure me,
to hasten or control;
O speak, and make me listen,
thou guardian of my soul.
4. O Jesus, thou hast promised
to all who follow thee
that where thou art in glory
there shall thy servant be.
And Jesus, I have promised
to serve thee to the end;
O give me grace to follow,
my Master and my Friend.
