Creating God, your fingers trace
Author: Jeffery Rowthorn, b. 1934 Hymnal: EH1982 #395 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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 those oppressed 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.

Come, o come, our voices raise
Author: George Wither, 1588-1667 Hymnal: EH1982 #430 (1985) Meter: 7.7.7.7 with alleluia Lyrics: 1 Come, O come, our voices raise,
sounding God Almighty's praise;
hither bring in one consent
heart, and voice, and instrument.

let no tongue nor string be mute,
nor a voiceless creature found,
that hath neither note nor sound.
Alleluia!
3 Come ye all before his face,
in this chorus take your place;
and amid the mortal throng,
be you masters of the song.
Alleluia!
4 Let, in praise of God, the sound
run a never-ending round,
that our songs of praise may be
everlasting, as is he.
Alleluia!
5 So this huge wide orb we see
shall one choir, one temple be;
where in such a praiseful tone
we will sing what he hath done.
Alleluia!
6 Thus our song shall overclimb
all the bounds of space and time;
come, then, come, our voices raise,
sounding God Almighty's praise.

Crown him with many crowns
Author: Matthew Bridges, 1800-1894 Hymnal: EH1982 #494 (1985) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Crown him with many crowns,
the Lamb upon his throne;
Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns
all music but its own;
awake, my soul, and sing
of him who died for thee,
and hail him as thy matchless King
through all eternity.
2 Crown him the Son of God
before the worlds began,
and ye, who tread where he hath trod,
crown him the Son of man;
who every grief hath known
that wrings the human breast,
and takes and bears them for his own,
that all in him may rest.
3 Crown him the Lord of life,
who triumphed over the grave,
and rose victorious in the strife
for those he came to save;
his glories now we sing
who died, and rose on high,
who died, eternal life to bring,
and lives that death may die.
4 Crown him of lords the Lord,
who over all doth reign,
who once on earth, the incarnate Word,
for ransomed sinners slain,
now lives in realms of light,
where saints with angels sing
their songs before him day and night,
their God, Redeemer, King.
5 Crown him the Lord of heaven,
enthroned in worlds above;
crown him the King,to whom is given,
the wondrous name of Love.
Crown him with many crowns,
as thrones before him fall,
crown him, ye kings, with many crowns,
for he is King of all. Topics: Jesus Christ our Lord Languages: English Tune Title: DIADEMATA

Creator Spirit, by whose aid
Author: John Dryden, 1631-1700 Hymnal: EH1982 #500 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Creator Spirit, by whose aid
the world's foundations first were laid,
come, visit every humble mind;
come, pour thy joys on humankind;
from sin and sorrow set us free,
and make thy temples worthy thee.
2 O Source of uncreated light,
the Father's promised Paraclete,
thrice holy Fount, thrice holy Fire,
our hearts with heavenly love inspire;
come, and thy sacred unction bring
to sanctify us while we sing.
3 Plenteous of grace, come from on high,
rich in thy sevenfold energy;
make us eternal truth receive,
and practice all that we believe;
give us thyself, that we may see
the Father and the Son by thee.

the dullness of our blinded sight.

with the abundance of thy grace.

where thou art guide, no ill can come.

this may be our endless song:
9 praise to thy eternal merit,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: EH1982 #510 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
with all thy quickening powers;
kindle a flame of sacred love
in these cold hearts of ours.
2 See how we trifle here below,
fond of these earthly toys:
our souls, how heavily they go,
to reach eternal joys.
3 In vain we tune our formal songs,
in vain we strive to rise:
hosannas languish on our tongues,
and our devotion dies.
4 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
with all thy quickening powers;
come, shed abroad a Savior's love,
and that shall kindle ours. Topics: The Holy Spirit Languages: English Tune Title: SAINT AGNES

with light and comfort from above;
be thou our guardian, thou our guide
o'er every thought and step preside.
2 The light of truth to us display,
and make us know and choose thy way;
plant holy fear in every heart,
that we from thee may ne'er depart.
3 Lead us to Christ, the living way,
nor let us from his precepts stray;
lead us to holiness, the road
that we must take to dwell with God.
4 Lead us to heaven, that we may share
fullness of joy for ever there;
lead us to God, our final rest,
to be with him for ever blest. Topics: The Holy Spirit Languages: English Tune Title: MENDON

Come down, O Love divine
Author: Bianco da Siena, d. 1434?; Richard Frederick Littledale, 1833-1890 Hymnal: EH1982 #516 (1985) Meter: 6.6.11 D Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love divine,
seek thou this soul of mine,
and visit it with thine own ardor glowing;
O Comforter, draw near,
within my heart appear,
and kindle it, thy holy flame bestowing.
2 O let it freely burn,
till earthly passions turn
to dust and ashes in its heat consuming;
and let thy glorious light
shine ever on my sight,
and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
3 And so the yearning strong,
with which the soul will long,
shall far outpass the power of human telling;
for none can guess its grace,
till Love create a place
wherein the Holy Spirit makes a dwelling. Topics: The Holy Spirit Languages: English Tune Title: DOWN AMPNEY
