How vast beyond all measure

To make a wretch His treasure - Stuart Townend

Lift up your voice and with us sing,

a seed

beauty in a little seed starting to grow

 Jesus said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how."
Mark 4:26-27

poppies

beauty in the eye-catching color of a poppy

For the beauty of the earth, 
  for the glory of the skies, 
for the love which from our birth 
  over and around us lies; 
Lord of all, to thee we raise 
  this our hymn of grateful praise.
