This Bright Hour lyrics

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!

Thou rushing wind that art so strong,
Ye clouds that sail in heav’n along,
O praise Him! Alleluia!
Thou rising morn, in praise rejoice,

I never knew the dusk could seem so sad,
an empty aching in my soul.
In this bright hour I speak your name in the wind,
the shining world outlasts us all.

Even the mountains seem to know you're gone,
the foothills shimmer where they stand.
The sky is still and much too beautiful,
and I am missing you again.

Lift me over the San Gabriels, leaning into the southern sky.

She tells you how her canyon walks can ease a mother's fear.
The trails and big groves comfort her,
she feels close to god out there.

But that's just how she makes it through, she's given up a lot inside.
And even in those spreading trees
she'll still break down and cry.

She's praying again her daughter will land with both feet on the ground.

As I walked out one evening
To breathe the air and soothe my mind,
I thought of friends and the home I had,
And all those things I left behind.

A silent star shone on me,
My eyes saw a far horizon,
As if to pierce this veil of time,
And escape this earthly prison.

Will there come a time when the memories fade.
and pass on with the long, long years,
When the ties no longer bind?

When my heart is troubled and I am weighed down,
Then I like to think of how this lonesome world would be
If I could see your face, or hold you in my arms
If you were mine, if you were mine.

If you had a bad dream I would jump inside it,
And I would fight for you with all the strength that I could find.
I would lead you home by your tiny hand
If you were mine, if you were mine.

O Thou, in Whose presence my soul takes delight
On Whom in affliction I call
My comfort by day, and my song in the night,
My hope, my salvation, my all.

Where dost thou, dear Shepherd.
Resort with thy sheep,
To feed them in pastures of love?
Say, why in the valley of death should I weep,
Or alone in this wilderness rove?

Oh why should I wander, an alien from Thee,

ALL MY LIFE

Let the words of my mouth, the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight, my Lord
Let the words of my mouth, the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable, be acceptable

For You are my Rock, and You are my strength
You are my Redeemer

Teach me Your ways, oh Lord
And I will walk in Your truth
Give me an undivided heart
That I might fear Your name

Teach me Your ways, oh Lord
Grant me a humble heart
Counsel me in Your wisdom
That I might see Your face

chorus:
I will praise You, oh Lord, my God
I will praise You with all my heart
I will glorify Your name forever
Teach me Your ways, oh Lord

When the morning falls on the farthest hill,
I will sing His name, I will praise Him still.
When dark trials come and my heart is filled
With the weight of doubt, I will praise Him still.

For the Lord our God, He is strong to save
From the arms of death, from the deepest grave.
And He gave us life in His perfect will,
And by His good grace, I will praise Him still.

Jehová, Señor de los cielos

Jehová, Señor de los cielos,
Glorioso sea tu nombre—
El Rey de los universos
Y Redentor de los hombres.
La lluvia en los árboles,
Las alas de los ángeles
Proclamarán tus bellezas,
Pregonarán tus riquezas.

Soy débil, Señor, y ciego,
Agobiado de horrores,
Pecaminosos deseos,
Y apartado de tus dones.
Libérame de mi maldad;
Bendíceme con tu bondad.
