Author: Fred Kaan, b. 1929 Hymnal: Journeysongs (3rd ed.) #325 (2012) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 God of Eve and God of Mary,
God of love and mother earth,
Thank you for the ones who with us
Shared their life and gave us birth.
2 As you came to earth in Jesus,
So you come to us today;
You are present in the caring
That prepares us for life's way.
3 Thank you, that the Church, our Mother,
Gives us bread and fills our cup,
And the comfort of the Spirit
Warms our hearts and lifts us up.
4 Thank you for belonging shelter,
Bonds of friendship, ties of blood,
And for those who have no children,
Yet are parents under God.
5 God of Eve and God of Mary,
Christ our brother, human son,
Spirit, caring like a mother,
Take our love and make us one. Topics: Church; Mary; Thanksgiving; The Liturgical Year The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph; Unity Languages: English Tune Title: STUTTGART
