For the Fruit of All Creation
Author: Fred Pratt Green (1903-) Meter: 8.4.8.4.8.8.8.4 Appears in 71 hymnals Scripture: James 3:13-18, 4:1-3 Lyrics: 1 For the fruit of all creation,
thanks be to God;
gifts bestowed on every nation,
thanks be to God.
For the ploughing, sowing, reaping,
silent growth while we are sleeping,
future needs in earth's safe-keeping,
thanks be to God.
2 In the just reward of labour,
God's will is done.
In the help we give our neighbour,
God's will is done.
In our worldwide task of caring
for the hungry and despairing,
in the harvests we are sharing,
God's will is done.
3 For the harvests of the Spirit,
thanks be to God.
For the good we all inherit,
thanks be to God.
For the wonders that astound us,
for the truths that still confound us,
most of all that love has found us,
thanks be to God. Topics: Creation; Mission; Offertory; Stewardship; Rogation Days; Harvest Thanksgiving Used With Tune: AR HYD Y NOS

Son of God, eternal Saviour
Author: Somerset Corry Lowry (1855-1932) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 63 hymnals Scripture: James 4:1-10 Lyrics: 1 Son of God, eternal Saviour,
source of life and truth and grace,
Son of Man, whose birth incarnate
hallows all our human race,
thou, our Head, who, throned in glory,
for thine own dost ever plead,
fill us with thy love and pity;
heal our wrongs, and help our need.
2 As thou, Lord, hast lived for others,
so may we for others live;
freely have thy gifts been granted,
freely may thy servants give:
thine the gold and thine the silver,
thine the wealth of land and sea,
we but stewards of thy bounty,
held in solemn trust for thee.
3 Come, O Christ, and reign among us,
King of love, and Prince of peace;
hush the storm of strife and passion,
bid its cruel discords cease;
by thy patient years of toiling,
by thy silent hours of pain,
quench our fevered thirst of pleasure,
shame our selfish greed of gain.

source of life and truth and grace,
Son of Man, whose birth incarnate
hallows all our human race,
thou who prayedst, thou who willest,
that thy people should be one,

here on earth thy will be done. Topics: Jesus Life and Ministry; Proper 25 Year B; Reconciliation; Stewardship; The Fourth Sunday of Epiphany Year B Used With Tune: EVERTON

O God, My Faithful God
Author: Johann Heermann; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 62 hymnals Scripture: James 3:13-18 Lyrics: 1 O God, my faithful God,
O fountain ever flowing,
without whom nothing is,
all perfect gifts bestowing,
grant me a faithful life,
and give me, Lord, within,
commitment free from strife,
a soul unhurt by sin.
2 God, grant me strength to do
with ready heart and willing,
whatever you command,
my calling here fulfilling;
and do it when I ought,
with zeal and joyfulness;
and bless the work I've wrought,
for you must give success.
3 Keep me from saying words
that later need recalling;
guard me, lest idle speech
may from my lips be falling;
but when, within my place,
I must and ought to speak,
then to my words give grace,
lest I offend the weak.
4 When dangers gather round,
still keep me calm and fearless;
help me to bear the cross
when life seems bleak and cheerless,
to overcome my foes
with words and actions kind;
O God, your will disclose,
your counsel let me find.

Eternal God, Whose Power Upholds
Author: Henry H. Tweedy Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 53 hymnals Scripture: James 3:17 First Line: Eternal God, whose pow'r upholds Lyrics: 1 Eternal God, whose power upholds
Both flow'r and flaming star,
To whom there is no here nor there,
No time, no near nor far,
No alien race, no foreign shore,
No child unsought, unknown,
O send us forth as prophets true,
To make all lands Thine own!
2 O God of truth, whom science seeks
And rev'rent souls adore,
Who lightest every earnest mind
Of every clime and shore,
Dispel the gloom of error’s night,
Of ignorance and fear,
Until true wisdom from above
Shall make life’s pathway clear!
3 O God of beauty, oft revealed
In dreams of human art,
In speech that flows to melody,
In holiness of heart,
Teach us to ban all ugliness
That blinds our hearts to Thee,
Till all shall know the loveliness
Of lives made fair and free.
4 O God of righteousness and grace,
Seen in the Christ, Thy Son,
Whose life and death reveal Thy face,
By whom Thy will was done,
Inspire Thy heralds of good news
To live Thy life divine,
Till Christ has formed in all mankind
And every land is Thine!
Amen. Topics: Arts and Artists; God the Father Majesty and Power Used With Tune: PILGRIM
