For the Music of Creation
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: Voices United #535 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Church at Worship Special Days, Seasons, Occasions: Praise of God through Music; Arts and Literature; Celebration; Creation; Music and Singing; Reign of Christ Year A; Reign of Christ Year B Lyrics: 1 For the music of creation,
for the song your Spirit sings,
for your sound’s divine expression,
burst of joy in living things:
God, our God, the world’s composer,
hear us, echoes of your voice;
music is your art, your glory;
let the human heart rejoice!
2 Psalms and symphonies exalt you,
drum and trumpet, string and reed,
simple melodies acclaim you,
tunes that rise from deepest need,
hymns of longing and belonging,
carols from a cheerful throat,
lilt of lullaby and love song
catching heaven in a note.
3 All the voices of the ages
in transcendent chorus meet,
worship lifting up the senses,
hands that praise, and dancing feet;
over discord and division
music speaks your joy and peace,
harmony of earth and heaven,
song of God that cannot cease! Languages: English Tune Title: RUSTINGTON
