As Man and Woman We Were Made
Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 2:18-24 Lyrics: 1 As man and woman we were made
That love be found and life begun,
So praise the Lord Who made us two,
And praise the Lord when two are one;
Praise for the love that comes to life
Through child or parent, husband, wife.
2 Now Jesus lived and gave His love
To make our life and loving new;
So celebrate with Him today
And drink the joy He offers you;
That makes the simple moment shine
And changes water into wine.
3 And Jesus died to live again,
So praise the love that, come what may,
Can bring the dawn and clear the skies,
And waits to wipe all tears away;
And let us hope for what shall be,
Believing where we cannot see.
4 Then spread the table, clear the hall,
And celebrate till day is done;
Let peace go deep between us all
And joy be shared by everyone;
Laugh and make merry with your friends,
And praise the love that never ends.

Compared with Christ the apple tree.

By faith I know, but ne’er can tell
The glory which I now can see
In Jesus Christ the apple tree.
3 For happiness I long have sought,
And pleasure dearly I have bought:
I missed of all: but now I see
’Tis found in Christ the apple tree.
4 I’m weary with my former toil,
Here I will sit and rest awhile:
Under the shadow I will be
Of Jesus Christ the apple tree.
5 This fruit doth make my soul to thrive,
It keeps my dying faith alive;
Which makes my soul in haste to be
With Jesus Christ the apple tree. Topics: Hymns and Spiritual Songs Threefold God: Jesus Used With Tune: APPLE TREE Text Sources: a collection of Joshua Smith, New Hampshire, from

When Love Is Found
Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 2:18-24 First Line: When love is found and hope comes home Lyrics: 1 When love is found,
and hope comes home,
sing and be glad
that two are one.
When love explodes
and fills the sky,
praise God, and share
our Maker's joy.
2 When love has flow'red
in trust and care,
build both each day,
that love may dare
to reach beyond
home's warmth and light,
to serve and strive
for truth and right.
3 When love is tried
as loved ones change,
hold still to hope,
though all seems strange,
till ease returns
and love grows wise
through list'ning ears
and opened eyes.
4 When love is torn
and trust betrayed,
pray strength to love
till torments fade,
till lovers keep
no score of wrong,
but hear through pain
love's Easter song.
5 Praise God for love,
praise God for life,
in age or youth,
in husband, wife.
Lift up your hearts,
Let love be fed
through death and life
in broken bread. Topics: Marriage; Community in Christ Used With Tune: O WALY WALY

Thank You, God for Water, Soil, and Air
Author: Brian Wren Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 2:15 Lyrics: 1 Thank you, God, for water, soil and air,

the basis of all building, wealth, and speed.

a home for us and ages yet unborn.
Help us to share, consider, save, and store.
Come and renew the face of the earth.
