The Earth Is the Lord's

Author: Erik Routley Meter: Irregular Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Church--Foundation and nature First Line: The earth is the Lord's and its fulness Lyrics: 1 The earth is the Lord's and its fulness, its mystery, splendor and wealth, its bounty, fertility, kindness, its beauty, its reason, its health; then who is this wise-hearted steward who faithfully carries this trust? The generous, gentle, obedient, the patient, the honest, the just. 2 The earth is the Lord's own possession, not the tithe, nor the half, but the whole: he made it, sustains it, and leads it in love to its heavenly goal; but the harmony of the creation is broken by self-hood and vice when the anxious, incompetent steward in fear keeps back part of the price. 3 The church is the Lord's, and its people the Body of Christ, who impart the word and the feast and the friendship, (his head and his hands and his heart!) Where sisters and brothers together in laughter and worship and prayer give all to each other, then heaven is present on earth with them there. 4 All life is the Lord's, who in giving his Son, gave him glory again - for he who surrendered his spirit is he who ascended to reign; the talent when buried was withered, the manna, when hoarded, decayed, but Love meets us in resurrection when love gives itself unafraid. Scripture: Psalm 24:1-2 Used With Tune: MOUNT MORRIS, NEW

On prophets, and apostles built, And Christ the cornerstone; All else beside, by storm or tide, May yet be overthrown; But not my Church, my dear old Church, My fathers’ and my own. 2 My Church! My Church! My dear old Church! My glory and my pride! Firm in the faith Immanuel taught, She holds no faith beside, Upon this rock, ‘gainst every shock, Though gates of hell assail, She stands secure, with promise sure, “They never shall prevail.” 3 My Church! My Church! My dear old Church! I love her ancient name; And God forbid a child of hers Should ever do her shame; Her mother care I'll ever share; Her child I am alone, Till He who gave me to her arms, Shall call me to His own. 4 My Church! My Church! My dear old Church! Thy child would add a vow To that whose token once was signed Upon his infant brow; Her mother care I'll ever share, Her child I am alone. My Church shall yet be dear to me, My fathers' and my own. Amen. Used With Tune: NOEL

Now a royal generation, tell the tidings of your birth, tidings of a new creation to an old and weary earth. 3 Tell the praise of God who called you out of darkness into light, broke the fetters that enthralled you, gave you freedom, peace and sight. Tell the tale of sins forgiven, strength renewed and hope restored, till the earth, in tune with heaven, praise and magnify the Lord. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:4-10 Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH
