For the Beauty of the Earth

For the beauty of the earth
For the beauty of the skies
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies

This our hymn of grateful praise
Lord of all to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise

Fairest Lord Jesus

Sara Groves Song Lyrics

Fairest Lord Jesus, ruler of all nature
O Thou of God and man the Son
Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor
Thou my soul's glory, joy and crown

Fair are the meadows, fairer still the woodlands
Robed in the blooming garb of spring
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer
You makes the woeful heart to sing

Fair is the sunshine, fairer still the moonlight
And all the twinkling starry host
Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer
Than all the angels heaven can boast

Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer
Than all the angels heaven can boast
Than all the angels heaven can boast

Praise to the Lord

Sara Groves Song Lyrics

Songwriters: Dp, John Mark Nelson, Sara Groves

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of Creation
O my soul praise Him for He is your help and salvation
All you who hear, now to His temple draw near
Sing now in glad adoration

Praise to the Lord who has fearfully, wonderfully made you
Who from the heavens the streams of His mercy does send you
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do
Who with His love does befriend you

Ponder anew
The wings of His mercy will shade you
Ponder anew
His Spirit uplifts and sustains you, oh

Praise to the Lord, oh, let all that is in me adore Him
All that has life and breath, come now with praises before Him
Let the Amen sound from His people again
Gladly forever adore Him
Let the Amen sound from His people again
Amen
Amen
Amen

Abide with Me

Sara Groves Song Lyrics

Songwriters: Cecil Milner, Henry Francis Lyte, Will Henry Monk

Abide with me, fast falls the eventide
The darkness deepens, Lord, with me abide
When other helpers fail and comforts flee
Help of the helpless, abide with me

Thou on my head in early youth didst smile
And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile
Thou hast not left me though I oft left Thee
On to the close, Lord, abide with me

I need Thy presence every passing hour
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be
Through cloud and sunshine, abide with me

I fear no foe with Thee at hand to bless
Ills have no weight, tears lose their bitterness
Where is thy sting death? Where grave thy victory?
I triumph still, abide with me

Hold out Thy cross before my closing eyes
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies
Thy morning breaks and earthly shadows flee
In life and death, Lord, abide with me
In life and death, Lord, abide with me

The Love of God

Sara Groves Song Lyrics

The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell
It goes beyond the highest star
And reaches to the lowest hell
The guilty pair bowed down with care
God gave His Son to win
His erring child He reconciled
And pardoned from his sin

O love of God, how rich and pure
How measureless and strong
It shall forevermore endure
The saints' and angels' song

Could we with ink the ocean fill
And were the skies of parchment made
Were every tree on earth a quill
And every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole
Though stretched from sky to sky

O love of God, how rich and pure
How measureless and strong
It shall forevermore endure
The saints' and angels' song

O love of God, how rich and pure
How measureless and strong
It shall forevermore endure
The saints' and angels' song

The Song of Blessing

Sara Groves Song Lyrics

May God give you eyes to see
All that is good, all that is good
The courage for anything
May you be strong, may you be strong
May God give you ears to hear
His loving voice, his loving voice
Speaking all around you
All around and deep inside

What a Friend

Sara Groves Song Lyrics

O my Redeemer what a friend You are to me
O what a refuge I found
When the way was dreary and my heart was so oppressed
Your voice it lulled me to calm and rest

When in the their beauty stars unveil their silver light
Then, O my Savior, give me songs at night
Songs of yonder glory where my dear ones gone before
Sing out Your praise on that peaceful shore

Nearer, draw nearer
Till my soul is lost in You
Nearer, draw nearer
Precious Lord

Jesus, my Savior, when the last deep shadows fall
When in the silence I hear You
In Your arms reposing, let me breathe my life away
Awake in triumphant eternal day
Awake in triumphant eternal day

Nearer, draw nearer
Till my soul is lost in You
Nearer, draw nearer
Precious Lord
Nearer, draw nearer
Till my soul is lost in You
Nearer, draw nearer
Precious Lord

O my redeemer what a friend you are
O my redeemer what a friend you are

To The Dawn

Sara Groves Song Lyrics

Songwriters: Henry Burton, Sara Groves

There's a light upon the mountains and the day is at the spring
When our eyes shall see the beauty and the glory of the King
Weary was our heart with waiting and the night watch seemed so long
But the hearts of men are stirring and we hail it with a song
Oh, the hearts of men are stirring

In the fading of the starlight we can see the coming morn
And the lights of men are paling in the splendors of the dawn
For the eastern skies are glowing as with lights of hidden fire
And the hearts of men are stirring with a longing and desire
Oh, the hearts of men are stirring

To the dawn, to the morning, to the end of the night
All who walk in the dark have seen a Great Light
It's the dawn, it's the morning, it's the end of the night
And the hearts of men are stirring

He is breaking down the barriers, He is casting up the way
He is calling for His people to build up the gates of day
Oh, we hear a distant music and it comes with fuller swell
It's the triumph song of Jesus, Lord Emmanuel
It's the triumph song of Jesus

To the dawn, to the morning, to the end of the night
All who walk in the dark have seen a Great Light
It's the dawn, it's the morning, it's the end of the night
And the hearts of men are stirring

There's a hush of expectation and a quiet in the air
And the breath of God is moving in the fervent breath of prayer
For the suffering, dying Jesus is the Christ upon the throne
And the hearts of men are stirring to know they're not alone
Oh, the hearts of men are stirring

To the dawn, to the morning, to the end of the night
All who walk in the dark have seen a Great Light
It's the dawn, it's the morning, it's the end of the night
And the hearts of men are stirring
To the dawn, to the morning, to the end of the night
All who walk in the dark have seen a Great Light
It's the dawn, it's the morning, it's the end of the night
And the hearts of men are stirring
And the hearts of men are stirring
And the hearts of men are stirring

Tis So Sweet

Sara Groves Song Lyrics

Songwriter: Louisa M. R. Stead

'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
Just to take Him at His Word
Just to rest upon His promise
Just to know thus saith the Lord

I'm so glad I've learned to trust Him
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend
And I know that He is with me
Will be with me to the end

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him
How I've proved Him o'er and o'er
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus
Oh, for grace to trust Him more

Yes, 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus
Just from sin and self to cease
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him
How I've proved Him o'er and o'er
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus
Oh, for grace to trust Him more

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him
How I've proved Him o'er and o'er
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus
Oh, for grace to trust Him more

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him
How I've proved Him o'er and o'er
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus
Oh, for grace to trust Him more
Oh, for grace to trust Him more

Lead On O King Eternal

Sara Groves Song Lyrics

Lead on, O King Eternal
Till sin's fierce war shall cease
And holiness shall whisper
The sweet amen of peace

For not with swords' loud clashing
Nor roll of stirring drums
But deeds of love and mercy
The heavenly kingdom comes

Let Your kingdom come
And Your will be done
Right here on the earth
Like it is in heaven

Lead on, O King Eternal
We follow not with fears
For gladness breaks like morning
Where'er Thy face appears

Let Your kingdom come
And Your will be done
Right here on the earth
Like it is in heaven, oh-whoa

Let Your kingdom come
And Your will be done
Right here on the earth
Like it is in heaven

Thy cross is lifted o'er us
We journey in its light
We follow as you guide us
Lead on, O God of might

He’s Always Been Faithful

Sara Groves Song Lyrics

Songwriters: William M. Runyan, Sara Groves, Thomas O Chisholm

Morning by morning, I wake up to find
The power and comfort of God's hand in mine
Season by season, I watch Him, amazed
In awe of the mystery of His perfect ways
All I have need of, His hand will provide
He's always been faithful to me

I can't remember a trial or a pain
He did not recycle to bring me gain
I can't remember one single regret
In serving God only and trusting His hand
All I have need of, His hand will provide
He's always been faithful to me

This is my anthem, this is my song
The theme of the stories I've heard for so long
God has been faithful, He will be again
His loving compassion, it knows no end
All I have need of, His hand will provide
He's always
He's always been faithful
He's always been faithful to me
