The title pretty much sums it up. Who can find me a worship song/hymn that is about the moon? Or, at the very least, mentions the moon? The best I’ve got right now is Great Is Thy Faithfulness, which has the lyrics “Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above” in the second verse.
(We’re trying to focus on one song each week during homeschooling. The last two weeks were Creation–This Is My Father’s World. This week is the Sun unit–Shine, Jesus, Shine. And next week will be the Moon.)
I am Serina, and this is my blog. I'm a follower of Jesus, wife to a part-time pastor/part-time engineer/part-time seminary student, homeschooling mom to five (two girls, 10 & 7, and three boys, 5, 2, & brand new), poultry rancher to numerous chickens (currently: 10 Buff Orpingtons, 5 Buckeyes), craft/hobby addict, ultimate DIYer, environmental activist, learner of photography, and 1975 split entry renovator. I am always in pursuit of simplicity. In 2008, we moved from the city to 10 acres in the country, and we're digging in to organic small scale farming! Oh, and I love dark chocolate. And coffee. And tea...

Okay, that site rocks. Thanks, Wendy!
All Creatures of Our God and King (“Thou silver moon with softer gleam, O praise Him”)
All Things Bright and Beautiful (“sun and moon and stars of light”)
Praise My Soul the King of Heaven (“sun and moon bow down before him”)
Lord of the Dance (“I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun”)
I Sing the Mighty Power of God (“The moon shines full at his command and all the stars obey”)
He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands (“He’s got the sun and the moon, in his hands”)
Of the Father’s Love Begotten (“All that grows beneath the shining Of the moon and burning sun”)
And my All Time Favorite Hymn, St. Patrick’s Breastplate (“The glorious sun’s life giving ray, The whiteness of the moon at even”)
Fairest Lord Jesus – “Fair is the sunshine, fairer still the moonlight.”
How about that one that Nick used to like to sing, about the test tubes and galaxies?
Oh, the loud boiling test tubes one. That is the strangest hymn I’ve ever heard. No doubt it’s someone’s favorite…no offense intended. But I still think it’s strange.
Good ideas, folks. Except for the test tubes. I suppose my unfamiliarity with that one is causing me to cast harsh judgment prematurely.
