Author: Charles Parkin Hymnal: Voices United #406 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: liturgical Opening Hymns Lyrics: 1 See the morning sun ascending,
radiant in the eastern sky;
hear the angel voices blending
in their praise to God on high!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Glory be to God on high!
2 So may we, in lowly station,
join the choristers above;
singing with the whole creation,
praising thee for your great love.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Glory be to God above!
3 For your loving-kindness ever
shed upon our earthly way;
for your mercy, ceasing never,
for your blessing day by day:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Glory be to God alway!
4 "Wisdom, honour, power, and blessing!"
with the angelic host we cry;
round your throne, your name confessing,
now we would to you draw nigh.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Glory be to God on high! Languages: English Tune Title: NEANDER (UNSER HERRSCHER)
See the Morning Sun Ascending
O Joy of God
Author: Cecil Henry Boutflower Hymnal: Voices United #407 (1996) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: liturgical Opening Hymns First Line: O joy of God, we seek you in the morning Lyrics: 1 O joy of God, we seek you in the morning
and long to see the glory of your face:
rise on our darkness with your sun's new dawning.
Flood all our being in this feast of grace.
2 O life of God, for you our spirits hunger;
unless we feed on you we surely die:
with love and faith renewed and hope grown younger,
send us from here to serve you, God most high.
3 O peace of God, you pass our understanding -
safe through each moment keep us every day:
with joy divine and mercy never ending,
direct our path and prosper all our way. Tune Title: HIGHWOOD
O Joy of God
