Creating God, Your Fingers Trace
Author: Jeffery Rowthorn, 1934- Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 28 hymnals Scripture: Acts 1:1-11 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 now despised 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. Used With Tune: CANONBURY

To Realms of Glory I Behold
Author: Johan Olof Wallin; Claude W. Foss Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Scripture: Acts 1:1-11 Lyrics: 1 To realms of glory I behold
My risen Lord returning;
While I, a stranger in the earth,
For heav'n am ever yearning.
Far from my heav'nly Father’s home,
’Mid toil and sorrow here I roam.
2 Far from my home--how long, dear Lord,
Before my exile endeth?
But far beyond the realms of sense
My fervent prayer ascendeth:
My prayer, unuttered, but a groan,
Shall rend the skies and reach Thy throne.
3 Then visions of the goodly land
By faith my soul obtaineth;
There I shall dwell for evermore
Where Christ in glory reigneth,
In mansions of that bright abode,
The city of the living God.
4 In that blest city is no night,
Nor any pain or weeping;
There is my treasure, there my heart,
Safe in my Saviour’s keeping;
In heaven, my blessèd Lord, with Thee,
May all my conversation be.
5 In glory He shall come again
To earth as He ascended;
So let me wait and watch and pray,
Until my day is ended.
that day, O Lord, is hid from me,
But daily do I wait for Thee.
6 And blessèd shall that servant be,
O Lord, at Thy returning,
Whose heart is waiting, Lord, for Thee,
Whose lamp is trimmed and burning;
Him wilt Thou take to dwell with Thee,
In joy and peace eternally.
Amen. Topics: Church Year Ascension; Ascension; Trinity, Twenty-seventh Sunday; Christ Second Advent of; Heaven Yearning for; Second Advent; Treasure above Used With Tune: MACHS MIT MIR, GOTT, NACH DEINER GÜT
