Creating God, Your Fingers Trace
Author: Jeffery Rowthorn, 1934- Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 28 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 1:3 Lyrics: 1 Creating God, your fingers trace
the bold designs of farthest space;
let sun and moon and stars and light
and what lies hidden praise your might.
2 Sustaining God, your hands uphold
earth's mysteries known or yet untold;
let water's fragile blend with air,
enabling life, proclaim your care.
3 Redeeming God, your arms embrace
all now despised for creed or race;
let peace, descending like a dove,
make known on earth your healing love.
4 Indwelling God, your gospel claims
one family with a billion names;
let every life be touched by grace
until we praise you face to face. Used With Tune: CANONBURY
