Author: David Mowbray, b. 1938 Hymnal: Worship (4th ed.) #806 (2011) Meter: 8.5.8.5.8.4.3 Lyrics: 1 Come to us, creative Spirit;
In our Father's house
Ev'ry human talent hallow,
Hidden skills arouse
That, within your earthly temple,
Wise and simple
May rejoice.
2 Poet, painter, music maker,
All your treasures bring;
Craftsman, actor, graceful dancer,
Make your offering.
Join your hands in celebration;
Let creation
Shout and sing!
3 Word from God, eternal springing,
Fill our minds, we pray;
And in all artistic vision
Give integrity.
May the flame within us burning
Kindle yearning
Day by day.
4 In all places and for ever
Glory be expressed
To the Son, with God the Father
And the Spirit blessed.
In our worship and our living
Keep us striving
For the best. Topics: Stewardship Languages: English Tune Title: CASTLEWOOD
