Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 1 Lyrics: 1 Let all creation dance
in energies sublime,
as order turns with chance,
unfolding space and time;
for nature's art
in glory grows,
and newly shows
God's mind and heart.
2 God's breath each force unfurls,
igniting from a spark
expanding starry swirls,
with whirlpools dense and dark.
Though moon and sun
seem mindless things,
each orbit sings:
'your will be done.'
3 Our own amazing earth,
with sunlight, cloud and storms,
and life's abundant growth
in lovely shapes and forms
is made for praise,
a fragile whole,
and from its soul
heaven's music plays.
4 Lift heart and soul and voice:
in Christ all praises meet,
and nature shall rejoice
as all is made complete.
In hope be strong,
all life befriend,
and kindly tend
creation's song. Topics: Beauty; Creation; Creation and the Environment; Dance; Environmental concern; Music and Song; Science and Technology Used With Tune: DARWALL'S 148TH
