Let all creation dance

Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #539 (2013) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Topics: Creation and the Environment Lyrics: 1 Let all creation dance in energies sublime, as order turns with chance, unfolding space and time; for nature's art in glory grows, and newly shows God's mind and heart. 2 God's breath each force unfurls, igniting from a spark expanding starry swirls, with whirlpools dense and dark. Though moon and sun seem mindless things, each orbit sings: 'your will be done.' 3 Our own amazing earth, with sunlight, cloud and storms, and life's abundant growth in lovely shapes and forms is made for praise, a fragile whole, and from its soul heaven's music plays. 4 Lift heart and soul and voice: in Christ all praises meet, and nature shall rejoice as all is made complete. In hope be strong, all life befriend, and kindly tend creation's song. Scripture: Genesis 1 Languages: English Tune Title: DARWALL'S 148TH

The works of the Lord are created in wisdom

Author: Christopher Idle (b. 1938) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #551 (2013) Meter: 12.11.12.11 Topics: Creation and the Environment Lyrics: 1 The works of the Lord are created in wisdom; we view the earth's wonders and call him to mind: we hear what he says in the world we discover and God shows his glory in all that we find. 2 Not even the angels have ever been granted to tell the full story of nature and grace; but open to God is all human perception, the mysteries of time and the secrets of space. 3 The sun every morning lights up his creation, the moon marks the rhythm of months in their turn; the glittering stars are arrayed in his honour, adorning the years as they ceaselessly burn. 4 The wind is his breath and the clouds are his signal, the rain and the snow are the robes of his choice; the storm and the lightning, his watchmen and heralds, the crash of the thunder, the sound of his voice. 5 The song is unfinished; how shall we complete it, and where find the skill to perfect all God's praise? At work in all places, he cares for all peoples: how great is the Lord to the end of all days! Scripture: Sirach 42 Languages: English Tune Title: STREETS OF LAREDO (THE BARD OF ARMAGH)

O worship the King, all glorious above

Author: Robert Grant (1779-1838) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #754 (2013) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Topics: Creation and the Environment Lyrics: 1 O worship the King, all glorious above; O gratefully sing his power and his love; our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days, pavilioned in splendour and girded with praise. 2 O tell of his might, O sing of his grace, whose robe is the light, whose canopy space; his chariots of wrath the deep thunder clouds form, and dark is his path on the wings of the storm. 3 The earth with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, thy power hath founded of old; hath stablished it fast by a changeless decree, and round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea. 4 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light; it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, and sweetly distils in the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, in thee do we trust, nor find thee to fail; thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end, Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend. 6 O measureless might, ineffable love, while angels delight to hymn thee above, thy humbler creation, though feeble their lays, with true adoration shall sing to thy praise. Scripture: Psalm 104 Languages: English Tune Title: HANNOVER
