"I sing the Mighty Power of God"

I sing the mighty pow'r of God, That made the mountains rise; That spread the flowing seas abroad, And built the lofty skies. I sing the wisdom that ordained The sun to rule the day; The moon shines full at His command, And all the stars obey.



I sing the goodness of the Lord, That filled the earth with food; He formed the creatures with His word, And then pronounced them good. Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed, Where'er I turn my eye: If I survey the ground I tread, Or gaze upon the sky!



There's not a plant or flow'r below, But makes Thy glories known; And clouds arise, and tempests blow, By order from Thy throne; While all that borrows life from Thee Is ever in Thy care, And ev'rywhere that man can be, Thou,God, art present there.

Words: Isaac Watts - Divine and Moral Songs for Children (1715)
Music: from Gesangbuch der Herzogl, Wurttemberg (1784)

Listen to the music at Cyber Hymnal. Although the music playing is pretty, I like William H. Monk's (1868) (Midi,Score) best.

"Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee"

Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee

Summer Garden


Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee, God of glory,
Lord of love; Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee,
Opening to the sun above. Melt the clouds of sin and sadness,
Drive the dark of doubt away; Giver of immortal gladness,
Fill us with the light of day.



Cardinal's Home


All Thy works with joy surround Thee, Earth and heaven reflect Thy rays, Stars and angels sing around Thee, Center of unbroken praise. Field and forest, vale and mountain, Flowery meadow, flashing sea, Chanting bird and flowing fountain Call us to rejoice in Thee.




The Greatest Virtue is Love


Thou art giving and forgiving, ever blessing, ever blest, Wellspring of the joy of living, Ocean depth of happy rest! Thou, our Father, Christ, our Brother, All who live in love are Thine; Teach us how to love each other, Lift us to the joy divine.




Sweet By and By


Mortals, join the happy chorus Which the morning stars began;
Father love is reigning o'er us, Brother love binds man to man.
Ever singing, march we onward, Victors in the midst of strife;
Joyful music leads us Sunward In the triumph song of life.


Words: Henry van Dyke
Music: Ludwig van Beethoven
