“The Heavens Declare Thy Glory, Lord” Watts/Mason

The heavens declare Thy glory, Lord; In every star Thy wisdom shines;
but when our eyes behold Thy Word, we read Thy name in fairer lines.

The rolling sun, the changing light, and night and day, Thy power confess;
But the blest volume Thou hast writ reveals Thy justice and Thy grace.

Sun, moon, and stars convey Thy praise round the whole earth and never stand;
So when Thy truth began its race, it touched and glanced on every land.

Nor shall Thy spreading gospel rest till through the world Thy truth has run;
Till Christ has all the nations blest that see the light, or feel the sun.

This week’s memory verse: D is for…

“Do everything without complaining or arguing,
so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God
without fault in a crooked and depraved generation,
in which you shine like stars in the universe
as you hold out the Word of Life.”
-Philippians 2:14,15

Hymn of the Week: “God of the Earth” by Longfellow/Walton

God of the earth, the sky, the sea! Maker of all all above, below!
Creation lives and moves in Thee, Thy present life through all doth flow.

We give Thee thanks, Thy name we sing,
Almighty Father, heavenly King.

We feel Thy calm at evening’s hour, Thy grandeur in the march of night;
And, when Thy morning breaks in pow’r, We hear Thy word, “Let there be light.”

Memory Verse of the Week: C is for…

“Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades or loose the cords of Orion?
Can you lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season, or can you guide
the Bear with its children?” -Job 38:31,32

Hymn of the Week: “The Spacious Firmament On High” Addison/Haydn

The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky,
And spangled heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim:
The unwearied sun, from day to day, Does his Creator’s power display;
And publishes to every land the work of an almighty hand.

Soon as the evening shades prevail,
The moon takes up the wondrous tale,
And nightly, to the listening earth, Repeats the story of her birth;
While all the stars that round her burn,
And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll,
And spread the truth from pole to pole.

What though, in solemn silence, all
Move round the dark terrestrial ball?
What though no real voice nor sound Amid their radiant orbs be found? In reason’s ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice, Forever singing as they shine, “The hand that made us is divine.”
