Now Join We to Praise the Creator

Author: Fred Kaan, b. 1929 Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now join we to praise the creator, Our voices in worship and song; We stand to recall with thanksgiving That to God all seasons belong. 2 We thank you, O God, for your goodness, For the joy and abundance of crops, For food that is stored in our larders, For all we can buy in the shops. 3 But also of need and starvation We sing with concern and despair, Of skills that are used for destruction, Of land that is burnt and laid bare. 4 We cry for the plight of the hungry While harvest are left on the field, For orchards neglected and wasting, For produce from markets withheld. 5 The song grows in depth and in wideness; The earth and its people are one. There can be no thanks without giving, No words without deeds that are done. 6 Then teach us, O Lord of the harvest, To be humble in all that we claim; To share what we have with the nations, To care for the world in your name.

Now Join We to Praise the Creator

Author: Fred Kaan Hymnal: Ecumenical Praise #92 (1977) Lyrics: 1 Now join we to praise the Creator, Our voices in worship and song; We stand to recall with thanksgiving That to Him all seasons belong. We thank you, O God, for your goodness, For the joy and abundance of crops, For food that is stored in the cupboards, For all we can buy in the shops. 2 But also of need and starvation We sing with concern and despair, Of skills that are used for destruction, Of land that is burnt and laid bare. We cry for the plight of the hungry While harvests are left in the field, For orchards neglected and wasting, For produce from markets withheld. 3 The song grows in depth and in wideness; The earth and the people are one. There can be no thanks without giving, No words without deeds that are done. Then teach us, O Lord of the harvest, To be humble in all that we claim, To share what we have with the nations, To care for the world in your name.

Fred Kaan

1929 - 2009 Person Name: Fred Kaan, b. 1929 Author of "Now Join We to Praise the Creator" in Gather Comprehensive Fred Kaan Hymn writer. His hymns include both original work and translations. He sought to address issues of peace and justice. He was born in Haarlem in the Netherlands in July 1929. He was baptised in St Bavo Cathedral but his family did not attend church regularly. He lived through the Nazi occupation, saw three of his grandparents die of starvation, and witnessed his parents deep involvement in the resistance movement. They took in a number of refugees. He became a pacifist and began attending church in his teens. Having become interested in British Congregationalism (later to become the United Reformed Church) through a friendship, he was attended Western College in Bristol. He was ordained in 1955 at the Windsor Road Congregational Church in Barry, Glamorgan. In 1963 he was called to be minister of the Pilgrim Church in Plymouth. It was in this congregation that he began to write hymns. The first edition of Pilgrim Praise was published in 1968, going into second and third editions in 1972 and 1975. He continued writing many more hymns throughout his life.
