“The Gospel in Bluegrass – Part 2”
We will be celebrating the gospel in music once again this year with the help of
Pat Ricker and his musical friends. The service will focus on the “bluegrass
sound” and will include hymns from our hymnal and other
musical sources. The hills of Western Maryland provide a
natural backdrop for the gospel bluegrass sound. This service will help us to worship the Lord with a touch of our cultural heritage. Invite your friends!
I Sing the Mighty Power of God
Words by Isaac Watts
Tune: ELLACOMBE
Choral Setting by Mark Patterson
Sung by the Chancel Choir
Text:
I sing the mighty power 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 God’s command, and all the stars obey.
I sing the goodness of the Lord that filled the earth with food;
God formed the creatures with his word and then pronounced them good.
Lord, how thy wonders are displayed, where'er we turn our eyes,
if we survey the ground we tread or gaze upon the skies.
There's not a plant or flower 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 everywhere that we can be, thou, God, are present there.
Let ev’ry voice now join as one and let the song by raised.
All heav’n above, all earth below, rejoice and sing God’s praise.
Let timbrel, flute, and trumpet sound, let bells ring out this day.
Forever let our music live to glorify God’s name!
We sing the mighty Power of God!
