For Your Gift of God the Spirit
Author: Margaret Clarkson Hymnal: LUYH2013 #525 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: Genesis 1:2 Lyrics: 1 For your gift of God the Spirit,
power to make our lives anew,
pledge of life and hope of glory,
Savior, we would worship you.
Crowning gift of resurrection
sent from your ascended throne,
fullness of the very Godhead,
come to make your life our own.
2 He who in creation's dawning
brooded on the lifeless deep,
still across our nature's darkness
moves to wake our souls from sleep,
moves to stir, to draw, to quicken,
thrusts us through with sense of sin;
brings to birth and seals and fills us–
saving Advocate within.
3 He, himself the living Author,
wakes to life the sacred Word,
reads with us its holy pages
and reveals our risen Lord.
He it is who works within us
teaching rebel hearts to pray,
he whose holy intercessions
rise for us both night and day.
4 He, the mighty God, indwells us;
his to strengthen, help, empower;
his to overcome the tempter,
ours to call in danger's hour.
In his strength we dare to battle
all the raging hosts of sin,
and by him alone we conquer
foes without and foes within.
5 Father, grant your Holy Spirit
in our hearts may rule today,
grieved not, quenched not, but unhindered,
work in us his sovereign way.
Fill us with your holy fullness,
God the Father, Spirit, Son;
in us, through us, then forever,
shall your perfect will be done.

Touch the Earth Lightly
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: LUYH2013 #18 (2013) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Scripture: Genesis 1:26 First Line: Touch the earth lightly, use the earth gently Lyrics: 1 Touch the earth lightly,
use the earth gently,
nourish the life of the world in our care:
gift of great wonder,
ours to surrender,
trust for the children tomorrow will bear.
2 We who endanger,
who create hunger,
agents of death for all creatures that live,
we who would foster
clouds of disaster,
God of our planet, forestall and forgive!
3 Let there be greening,
birth from the burning,
water that blesses and air that is sweet,
health in God’s garden,
hope in God’s children,
regeneration that peace will complete.
4 God of all living,
God of all loving,
God of the seedling, the snow, and the sun,
teach us, deflect us,
Christ reconnect us,
using us gently, and making us one. Topics: Creation; Hunger; Stewardship of Nature Languages: English Tune Title: AI HU

Great God, Your Love Has Called Us
Author: Brian A. Wren, b. 1936 Hymnal: LUYH2013 #153 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Scripture: Genesis 1:26 First Line: Great God, your love has called us here Lyrics: 1 Great God, your love has called us here,
as we, by love, for love were made.
Your living likeness still we bear,
though marred, dishonored, disobeyed.
We come, with all our heart and mind
your call to hear, your love to find.
2 We come with self-inflicted pains
of broken trust and chosen wrong,
half free, half bound by inner chains,
by social forces swept along,
by powers and systems close confined,
yet seeking hope for humankind.
3 Great God, in Christ you call our name
and then receive us as your own,
not through some merit, right, or claim,
but by your gracious love alone.
We strain to glimpse your mercy seat
and find you kneeling at our feet.
4 Then take the towel, and break the bread,
and humble us, and call us friends.
Suffer and serve till all are fed,
and show how grandly love intends
to work till all creation sings,
to fill all worlds, to crown all things.
5 Great God, in Christ you set us free
your life to live, your joy to share.
Give us your Spirit's liberty
to turn from guilt and dull despair,
and offer all that faith can do
while love is making all things new. Topics: Church Year Maundy Thursday; Love God's Love for Us; Elements of Worship Opening of Worship: Called And Gathered Languages: English Tune Title: RYBURN

For the Healing of the Nations
Author: Fred Kaan Hymnal: LUYH2013 #289 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Scripture: Genesis 1:27 First Line: For the healing of the nations Lyrics: 1 For the healing of the nations,
Lord, we pray with one accord,
for a just and equal sharing
of the things that earth affords.
To a life of love in action
help us rise and pledge our word.
2 Lead us forward into freedom,
from despair your world release,
that, redeemed from war and hatred,
all may come and go in peace.
Show us how through care and goodness
fear will die and hope increase.
3 All that kills abundant living,
let it from the earth be banned:
pride of status, race or schooling,
dogmas that obscure your plan.
In our common quest for justice
may we hallow life's brief span.
4 You, Creator God, have written
your great name on humankind;
for our growing in your likeness
bring the life of Christ to mind;
that by our response and service
earth its destiny may find. Topics: Culture, Community & Nation; Freedom; Mission; Occasional Services Healing Service; Reconciliation to Each Other; Social Justice Languages: English Tune Title: HUACO

This Is My Father's World
Author: Maltbie D. Babcock, 1858-1901 Hymnal: LUYH2013 #21 (2013) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Scripture: Genesis 1:28 Lyrics: 1 This is my Father’s world,
and to my listening ears
all nature sings, and round me rings
the music of the spheres.
This is my Father’s world;
I rest me in the thought
of rocks and trees, of skies and seas;
his hand the wonders wrought.
2 This is my Father’s world;
the birds their carols raise;
the morning light, the lily white,
declare their Maker’s praise.
This is my Father’s world;
he shines in all that’s fair.
In the rustling grass I hear him pass;
he speaks to me everywhere.
3 This is my Father’s world;
oh, let me not forget
that, though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the Ruler yet.
This is my Father’s world;
why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King, let the heavens ring!
God reigns; let the earth be glad. Topics: Creation; Powers of Darkness; God as Creator; God As Father; God's Providence; Music and Singing; Sorrow; Stewardship of Nature Languages: English Tune Title: TERRA BEATA

How Sweet Was the Garden, Fertile and Fair
Author: Carl P. Daw Jr., b. 1944 Hymnal: LUYH2013 #29 (2013) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Scripture: Genesis 2:8-25, 3:1 Lyrics: 1 How sweet was the garden, fertile and fair,
the first and best home God gave to our care,
a paradise lavished on creatures of clay;
yet we were not willing to follow God’s way.
2 We freely could eat from all but one tree
(forbidden, perhaps, lest gods we might be?),
but tasting we grew not divine after all:
the fruit in our mouth turned from nectar to gall.
3 From dark, bitter fruit came forth a bright seed,
for God did not turn from us in our need;
the love that first formed us embraces us still
and woos us from wandering to follow God’s will.

What Adam's Disobedience Cost
Author: Fred Pratt Green; Carol Bechtel Hymnal: LUYH2013 #34 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Genesis 3:1-8 Lyrics: 1 What Adam’s disobedience cost,
let Holy Scripture say:
ourselves estranged, an Eden lost,
and then a judgment day: each day a judgment day.
2 An ark of mercy rode the flood,
but we, where waters swirled,
rebuilt, impatient of the good,
another fallen world: an unrepentant world.
3 A little child is Adam’s heir,
is Adam’s hope and Lord,
sing joyful carols everywhere,
that Eden is restored: in Jesus is restored.
4 Regained is Adam’s blessedness:
the angels sheathe their swords;
in joyful carols all confess
the kingdom is the Lord’s: the glory is the Lord’s!
5 Renewed, restored we look ahead
to glimpse that glorious day
when in the new Jerusalem
all griefs will pass away. “Amen. Hallelujah!” Topics: Biblical Names and Places Eden; Church Year Christmas; Fall and the Human Condition; God's Judgment; Jesus Christ King Languages: English Tune Title: DETROIT
