Author: Doreen E. Newport (b. 1927) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #155 (2008) Meter: 10.9.10.9 Lyrics: 1 Think of a world without any flowers,
think of a world without any trees,
think of a sky without any sunshine,
think of the air without any breeze.
We thank you, Lord, for flowers and trees and sunshine,
we thank you, Lord, and praise your holy name.
2 Think of the world without any animals,
think of a field without any herd,
think of a stream without any fishes,
think of a dawn without any bird.
We thank you, Lord, for all your living creatures,
we thank you, Lord, and praise your holy name.
3 Think of a world without any people,
think of a street with no-one living there,
think of a town without any houses,
no-one to love and nobody to care.
We thank you, Lord, for families and friendships,
we thank you, Lord, and praise your holy name. Topics: The Activity of God God in creation; Providence Scripture: Genesis 1, 2:1-9 Languages: English Tune Title: GENESIS
