CHRIST, burning past all suns

Author: Ian Fraser (b. 1917) Meter: 6.5.5.6.5.5 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 CHRIST, burning past all suns, stars beneath thy feet like leaves on forest floor: MAN, turning spaceward, shuns knowledge incomplete, fevered to explore. 2 CHRIST, holding atoms in one loom of light and power to weave creation's life: MAN, moulding rocket, gun, turns creation sour, plots dissolving strife. 3 CHRIST, festive in gay bird, rush of river flood, joy on lovers' part: YOUTH, restive, seek new word, beat of life in blood, chill of death in heart. 4 CHRIST, humble on our side, snatching death's grim keys, ending Satan's scope: WE gamble on our guide, inch our gains of peace, work a work of hope. Topics: God--in Jesus Christ Hope of the World; Sin and Salvation Used With Tune: TORPHINS
