CHORUS:
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.
Each little flow’r that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings. (Refrain)
The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one. (Refrain)
He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well. (Refrain)

Hallelujah (Psalm 148)
Flo Paris Oakes ©2019 Landseer Music (ASCAP)
Hallelujah!
Moon and stars, morning sun, clouds and rain
They all sing, they all sing
Lift their voices to the King
Praise his name, his holy name
Hallelujah!
Orchard trees, cedars tall, forests green They all sing, they all sing
Lift their voices to the King
Praise his name, his holy name Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
The fox and sparrow both the wild and the tame
They all sing, they all sing
Lift their voices to the King
Praise his name, his holy name Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Men and angels, queens and princes, little babe
We all sing, we all sing
Lift our voices to the King
Praise his name, his holy name Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Some wandered in the desert wastelands
Some sat bound in prison chains
Some set out in ships on the ocean
Some chose to walk in foolish ways
Refrain:
Whoever is wise listen, listen
Whoever is wise listen, listen
Whoever is wise listen, listen
We cried out to the Lord
We cried out to the Lord
We wandered in the desert wastelands We sat bound in prison chains
We set out like ships on the ocean
We chose to walk in foolish ways (Refrain)

All Creatures Of Our God And King
St. Francis of Assissi/Wiliam Henry Draper
All creatures of our God and King,
Lift up your voice and with us sing,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Thou burning sun with golden beam,
Thou silver moon with softer gleam,
O praise Him, O praise Him!
Alleluia, alleluia. Alleluia!
Let all things their creator bless
And worship him in humbleness
O praise him, alleluia!
Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son
And praise the Spirit, Three in One
O praise Him, O praise Him! Alleluia, alleluia. Alleluia!

Only Ever Always

Draw me out with the morning stars Wake me up with beauty
Sprout a daisy in the yard
Every day remind me
Chorus:
In your love we are satisfied
Only, ever always
In the morning, in the night
Only, ever, always
You wrote the song that is in our hearts Song of joy and wonder
Everyday is a brand new start
His love, it grows us younger (Chorus)
You're strong enough to take slow The sun, the moon so patient
We wait, we see your mercy flow To every tribe and nation
See the beauty of the Lord
As the sun expires
In one day or a thousand years His love, it never tires

Tell Me
Flo Paris Oakes ©2019 Landseer Music (ASCAP), Alice Smith 2019 Detuned Radio Music (ASCAP)
Tell me can the darkness hide me?
Tell me can the darkness hide me?
Even when the sun's not shining?
Tell me can the darkness hide me?
No even in the deepest valley you come find me
You hold on tight to me
Tell me will you always hear me?
Tell me will you always hear me?
Even when the storm is noisy?
Tell me will you always hear me?
Yes even when I'm scared and trembling you come find me
You speak your love to me
Even when I'm scared and trembling you come find me
You speak your love to me
Tell me will you ever leave me?
Tell me will you ever leave me?
Even when my friends forget me?
Tell me will you ever leave me?
No even when I'm mad and hiding you come find me
You stay close to me
Even when I'm scared and trembling you come find me
You speak your love to me
Even in the deepest valley you come find me
You hold on to me
Tell me can the darkness hide me?
Tell me will you always hear me?
Tell me will you ever leave me?

Afraid of the Dark
Katy Bowser Hutson ©2018 Velveteen Music (SESAC)/Kenny Hutson ©2018 Jiggyfoot Music (SESAC)
Was it a bump? Was it a growl?
Was it a thump?
Is prowling under my bed?
I've got a light but what's in the shadows at night?
Will I have to fight, alright, I'm frightened - I'm scared!
When I am afraid, I put my trust in you
I will lie down and sleep in peace
'Cause what you say is true
You know every hair on my head
And you are bigger than any monster under my bed
So when I'm sleepy
And my closet is creepy
I'm trying not to call Mom and Dad but getting weepy
I will not fear for you say you're near
So I call for you, you always hear.
God who watches over me
Never goes to sleep
You know me inside out
And you promised you would keep me
You know every hair on my head and
You are bigger than any monster under my bed
When I am afraid
I'll put my trust in you
I will lie down and sleep in peace
'Cause what you say is true
You know every hair on my head and
You are bigger than any monster under my bed

If I had wings like a dove
I could fly, I could fly
If I had a room in your house
I could hide, I could hide
The swallow nests, she finds her rest
There in the temple walls
Beneath your wings
Your song she sings
The Lord God hears her call
Like a desert owl in the night
I lie awake, lie awake
Like a sparrow lonely on the roof
I will wait, I will wait
We run, we roam, You sing us home
We fly back to your call
Beneath your wings, your song we sing
The Lord God holds us all.
Hide me, hide me
Hide me in the shadow of your wings.
If I had wings like a dove
I could fly, I could fly
If I had a room in your house
I could hide, I could hide
I could hide, I could hide
Hide me, hide me
Hide me in the shadow of your wings.
Oh hide me, hide me...

Christ Is the Life of the World

In Christ we offer
All that He has offered
The perfect offering
Christ is the life of the world
Christ is the life of the world
So we remember,
All that he remembered
The whole of love returned.
Christ is the life of the world
Christ is the life of the world
Let us lift up, lift our hearts
Let us lift up, lift our hearts
It is good to lift our hearts to the Lord.
Sent forth in beauty
Reconciling all things
Radiant in holiness
Christ is the life of the world
Christ is the life of the world.
Christ is the life of the world.

Stars
Katy Bowser Hutson ©2019 Velveteen Music (SESAC)]/Kenny Hutson ©2019 Jiggyfoot Music (SESAC)/ Alice Smith ©2019 Detuned Radio Music (ASCAP)
Lift up your eyes on high and see who has created these stars
The One who leads forth their host by number
He calls them all by name
Because of the greatness of his high might
And the strength of his power Not one of them is missing.
Look up, look up and see
In the darkness we see all of the stars
Connect the dots see pictures
That whisper of He who made the stars
Chorus:
Stars, stars, stars
Stars to start the world
Stars to shout, to shout, to shout, ‘Christ is born!’
Stars to crown him King
Of everything, the sun, the moon and the stars
Chorus
He calls them all by name None of them are missing His children they will be
As many, as many, as many
As the stars, the stars, the stars

Wisdom and Grace (Psalm 90)

Chorus:
Teach us to number our days
That we may apply our hearts to your ways
Oh teach us to number our days
With wisdom and grace, wisdom and grace, wisdom and grace
You've been our home and our dwelling our place in all generations
Before the earth and the mountains were formed
You are God
Chorus
Now the span of our lives
It is made of sorrow and labor
As the days pass away like the grass
How soon we are gone
Chorus
Let the work of our hands
Bring You praise
Set your favor upon us
Oh establish the work of our hands
May your Kingdom come
Chorus
