bringing light and life to birth;
all-sustaining heavenly Father
of the families of earth:
we, your children, lift our voices
singing gladly of your love:
never-ending are the praises
rising to your throne above.
2 Ever-living Lord and Saviour,
breaking chains of sin and shame;
ever-loving Intercessor,
prayers are answered in your name:
we, your servants, liberated
at a fearsome ransom-price,
in your kingdom are united
by that mighty sacrifice.
3 Life-conceiving wind of heaven,
breathing gifts upon us all;
life-enhancing Spirit, given
to enrich us, great and small:
we, whose talents widely differ,
now restore to you your own,
and in true thanksgiving offer
all we are before the throne.
4 Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
blessing all within your hand:
full the cup that we inherit,
firm the ground on which we stand:
we, your people, undeserving
of the grace you freely give,
now and ever, in thanksgiving
to your praise and glory live. Scripture: 1 Chronicles 29:1-22 Used With Tune: MEAD HOUSE
