Many and Great
Author: Philip Frazier, 1892-1964 Hymnal: RS1996 #637 (1996) Meter: 9.6.9.9.9.6 Scripture: Genesis 1 First Line: Many and great, O God, are your works Lyrics: 1 Many and great, O God, are your works,
Maker of earth and sky;
Your hands have set the heavens with stars;
Your fingers spread the mountains and plains.
You merely spoke and waters were formed;
Deep seas obey your voice.
2 Grant us communion with you, our God,
Though you transcend the stars.
Come close to us and stay by our side:
With you are found the true gifts that last.
Bless us with life that never shall end,
Eternal life with you.

Many and Great
God, Who Stretched the Spangled Heavens
Author: Catherine Cameron, b. 1927 Hymnal: RS1996 #819 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: Genesis 1 Lyrics: 1 God, who stretched the spangled heavens
Infinite in time and place,
Flung the suns in burning radiance
Through the silent fields of space;
We, your children, in your likeness,
Share inventive pow'rs with you;
Great Creator, still creating,
Show us what we yet may do.
2 Proudly rise our modern cities,
Stately buildings, row on row;
Yet their windows, blank, unfeeling,
Stare on canyoned streets below,
Where the lonely drift unnoticed
In the city's ebb and flow,
Lost to purpose and to meaning,
Scarcely caring where they go.
3 We have ventured worlds undreamed of
Since the childhood of our race;
Known the ecstasy of winging
Through untraveled realms of space;
Probed the secrets of the atom,
Yielding unimagined pow'r,
Facing us with life's destruction
Or our most triumphant hour.
4 As each far horizon beckons,
May it challenge us anew,
Children of creative purpose,
Serving others, honoring you.
May our dreams prove rich with promise,
Each endeavor, well begun:
Great Creator, give us guidance
Till our goals and yours are one.

Bearing the lamp of grace
And, in earth's darkest place,

Or gaze upon the sky!

Author: Robert Campbell, 1814-1868 Hymnal: RS1996 #578 (1996) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Scripture: Exodus 15 Lyrics: 1 At the Lamb's high feast we sing
Praise to our victorious King.
Who has washed us in the tide
Flowing from his wounded side;
Praise we him, whose love divine
Gives his sacred Blood for wine,
Gives his Body for the feast,
Christ the victim, Christ the priest.
2 Where the Paschal blood is poured,
Death's dark angel sheathes his sword;
Israel's hosts triumphant go
Through the wave that drowns the foe.
Praise we Christ, whose blood was shed,
Paschal victim, Paschal bread;
With sincerity and love
Eat we manna from above.
3 Mighty victim from the sky,
Hell's fierce pow'rs beneath you lie;
You have conquered in the fight,
You have brought us life and light:
Now no more can death appall,
Now no more the grave enthrall;
You have opened paradise,
And in you the saints shall rise.
4 Easter triumph, Easter joy,
This alone can sin destroy;
From sin's pow'r, Lord, set us free
Newborn souls in you to be.
Father, who the crown shall give,
Savior, by whose death we live,
Spirit, guide through all our days,
Three in One, your name we praise. Topics: Baptism; Celebration; Christ the King; Christian Initiation; Death; Easter; Eucharist; Funeral; Grace; Jesus Christ; Lamb; Love of God for Us; Paschal Mystery; Praise; Salvation; Song; Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: SALZBURG
