Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #134 (2005) Meter: 9.10.11.9 Lyrics: 1 Bring many names, beautiful and good,
celebrate, in parable and story,
holiness in glory,
living, loving God:
Hail and Hosanna!
Bring many names!
2 Strong mother God,
working night and day,
planning all the wonders of creation,
setting each equation,
genius at play:
Hail and Hosanna,
strong mother God!
3 Warm father God, hugging every child,
feeling all the strains of human living,
caring and forgiving
till we're reconciled:
Hail and Hosanna,
warm father God!

calmly piercing evil's new disguises,
glad of good surprises,
wiser than despair:
Hail and Hosanna,
old, aching God!

saying no to falsehood and unkindness,
crying out for justice,
giving all you have:
Hail and Hosanna,
young, growing God!

joyful darkness far beyond our seeing,
closer yet than breathing,
everlasting home:
Hail and Hosanna,
great, living God! Topics: The Living God The Being of God - Holy and One; Children; God names and imags of Scripture: Ephesians 3:14-15 Languages: English Tune Title: WESTCHASE
