Hump Day Prayer . . . Higher Education Sunday

In Honor of Higher Education Sunday (August 27) this week's Hump Day Prayer is from the blue Presbyterian Hymnal. As a graduate of a Presbyterian University I would encourage you to support your nearest Presbyterian Affiliated College.

Earth and All Stars
Hymn 458
DEXTER 4.5.7 D with refrain

Earth and all stars,
Loud rushing planets,
Sing to the Lord a new song!
Hail, wind, and rain,
Loud blowing snowstorm
Sing to the Lord a new song!
God has done marvelous things.
I, too, will praise him with a new song!

Steel and machines,
Loud pounding hammers,
Sing to the Lord a new song!
Limestone and beams,
Loud building workers,
Sing to the Lord a new song!
God has done marvelous things.
I, too, will praise him with a new song!

Classrooms and labs,
Loud boiling test tubes,
Sing to the Lord a new song!
Athlete and band,
Loud cheering people,
Sing to the Lord a new song!
God has done marvelous things.
I, too, will praise him with a new song!

Knowledge and truth,
Loud sounding wisdom,
Sing to the Lord a new song!
Daughter and son,
Loud praying members,
Sing to the Lord a new song!
God has done marvelous things.
I, too, will praise him with a new song!
