Annual Hymns
Sisters of the grey night,
Assemble on the chest of the hill.
The heavens enjoy seeing your wild gowns billow along
When the winds hiss with humble pride,
And when your restless lips murmur praises
To the Most High —
In elevated voices and strength.
Remember the summons and hasten
Towards the crest of the hill.
Curse the viper’s mouth and spit upon its

Only our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is well able and willing to deliver us
O it's only my precious Lord and Savior, who is really able,
To freely and fully deliver yours very truly,
From all of my habitual sins and all too persistent,
Inequities. O how far have I fallen from Your grace?
It's a miraculous miracle that you have not hidden
Your holy face far far far away from the likes of

High Hymns
Spirit begins…first songs passed on…link arms.
We’re knit…as one…one voice of saints syncing.
Our praise is wind. It winds through all of time.
We raise our arms on earth; from there love flows.
With kin we rode the ark and now speak life.
Our instruments, one breath…Yahweh…seeking.**
With limbs, we stand up tall, tethered to wings.
High hymns amplifying the one true

Chrysanthemum Hymns
As the saccharine shadows of daylight dims
You can hear the melodies of eager eve
Tangerine sunsets composing chrysanthemum hymns
Songs that the sun with the zephyr does weave
The tempo played by the vibrant sky is before us
Marigolds blooming and booming in the heavens bright
Psychedelic hues of the sundown plays a chorus
Dusk bowing to the music of the

From the Hymns
**Is it weird that someone my age (Gen Xer) actually likes the hymns at church? I mean I like the much more modern songs that they sing on Christian radio too, but I like the hymns. As such I wondered what I could come up with simply mixing the lines of the hymns

I Sure Miss the Old Hymns
I sure miss the old hymns of ages past.
With tattered edges their message still lasts.
Those five stanza’d jewels I know by heart--
“The Sweet By and By” and “How Great Thou Art!”
And “Count Your Blessings,” I love that one, too.
And “This World’s Not My Home, I’m Just Passing Through.”
But when I’ve done wrong and need to

Hymns Sung In Summer Rain
Hymns Sung in Summer Rain
David J Walker
Driven by wind and rain
She sings the same
As if the sun
Shown as a halo
In her hair
The same as if
clouds were silver
bordered in dark swirls
of crass girandole syllables
with a flair
The same as if
no one dare
challenge a remonstrance
painted the name

7-Hour Hymns
Now I don't believe there's jobs in heaven;
Careers the reason we do work so hard here on Earth;
Is because the sin nature but if there are it is only one job;
In heaven that I want it's to sing singing sing those the praises ;
To The King our God our Lord always 24/7 forever singing ;
7-hour
