The View Out My Window (Sunday's music)

I love this time of year! The colors of Autumn are incredible.

This is the view out of my office window.

These pictures were taken by Christi - one of our Administrative Assistants.

Incredible!

So how could I not plan an order of worship that gives us an opportunity to express our love and thanksgiving to God for His greatness, faithfulness and the beauty of the earth?

Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee

"All Thy works with joy surround Thee, Earth and heav'n 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!"

God of Wonders
"Lord of all creation, of water, earth and sky, The heavens are Your tabernacle. Glory to the Lord on high. God of wonders beyond our galaxy, You are holy."
Choir anthem – Sing Alleluia
"All creatures of our God and King, lift up your voice and with us sing. Sun, moon and stars rejoice on high, praise to the Lord of light divine! Sing Alleluia!"

Great is Thy Faithfulness
"Summer and winter and springtime and harvest, Sun. moon and stars in their courses above Join with all nature in manifold witness To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love. Great is Thy faithfulness."

For the Beauty of the Earth (not the old hymn but most of the same words)
For the beauty of the earth, for the glory of the skies, for the love which even from our birth over and around us lies. Alleluia! Alleluia! Lord of all to Thee we raise. Alleluia! Alleluia! This our song of grateful praise.
