O God, Our Creator, You Work Every Day

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 9:9 Lyrics: O God, our Creator, you work every day: A potter, you form us, your people, like clay. A shepherd, you guide us and seek out the lost. A parent, you love us, not counting the cost. Christ Jesus, how rough were your hard-working hands! You labored among us; our God understands! Bless workers who struggle, their families to feed; Bless those who face hardship, oppression, or greed. Lord, some live among us who need constant care, Whose work is to make us more humbly aware. They teach us the best of your lessons, by far: It’s not what we do, Lord, you love who we are! We’re baptized! Your Spirit gives new work to do, That we, through our serving, may glorify you. Each person’s vocation, each calling, has worth As you send us out to bring Christ’s love on earth. Topics: Call/Vocation; Grace of God; Nation/National Holidays Used With Tune: ST. DENIO

The second Part: 11 Sing Psalmes therfore unto the Lord, that dwels in Sion hill: Puglish among all nations, his noble acts and will. 12 For he is mindfull of the blood of those that be opprest: forgetting not th'afflicted heart that seeks to him for rest. 13 Have mercy Lord on me pore wretch whose enemies still remaine: Which from the gates of death art wont, to raise me up againe. 14 In Sion that I might set forth thy praise with heart and voice: And that in thy salvation Lord, my soule might still rejoyce. 15 The heathen stick fast in the pit that they themselves prepar'd: And in the net that they did set, their own feet fast are snar'd. 16 God shews his judgements which were good for every man to mark: When as ye see the wicked man lie trap'd in his own wark. 17 The wicked and deceitfull men go down to hell for ever: And all the people of the world that will not God remember. 18 But sure the Lord will not forget the poore mans griefe and paine The patient people never look for help of God in vaine. 19 O Lord arise lest men prevaile that be of worldly might: And let the heathen folk receive their judgment in thy sight. 20 Lord strike such terror feare and dread into the hearts of them: That they may know assuredly, they be but mortall men.
