For the music of creation
Author: Shirley Erena Murray (b. 1931) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #636 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Music and Song Lyrics: 1 For the music of creation,
for the song your Spirit sings,
for your sound's divine expression,
burst of joy in living things:
God, our God, the world's composer,
hear us, echoes of your voice —
music is your art, your glory,
let the human heart rejoice!
2 Psalms and symphonies exalt you,
drum and trumpet, string and reed,
simple melodies acclaim you,
tunes that rise from deepest need,
hymns of longing and belonging,
carols from a cheerful throat,
lilt of lullaby and love-song
catching heaven in a note.
3 All the voices of the ages
in transcendent chorus meet,
worship lifting up the senses,
hands that praise and dancing feet;
over discord and division
music speaks your joy and peace,
harmony of earth and heaven,
song of God that cannot cease! Scripture: 1 Chronicles 15:16-28 Languages: English Tune Title: GOWANBANK

establishes the world in peace. Scripture: Psalm 98 Languages: English Tune Title: RENDEZ À DIEU

a God whom we can truly know.
2 Composer God, all music sings
your power, your praise, your majesty:
in drum and trumpet, flute and strings,
in choir and song and symphony.
Yet music which inspires our praise
can never fathom all your ways.
3 Designer God, in shape and form
the beauty you inspire is shown;
in line and colour, etched or drawn,
in sculpture, painting, glass and stone.
Yet all these talents can't express
the full truth of your loveliness.
4 Mysterious God, though all the arts
of nature and of human skill
may move us, yet our longing hearts
are never satisfied until
in Jesus Christ you show your face:
a God of love and truth and grace. Scripture: John 1:18 Languages: English Tune Title: MELITA

From All That Dwell Below the Skies
My song is love unknown
Author: Samuel Crossman (c. 1624-1683) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #147 (2013) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Topics: Music and Song Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown,
my Saviour's love to me,
love to the loveless shown,
that they might lovely be.
O who am I,
that for my sake
my Lord should take
frail flesh, and die?
2 He came from his blest throne,
salvation to bestow;
but men made strange, and none
the longed-for Christ would know.
But O, my Friend,
my Friend indeed,
who at my need
his life did spend!
3 Sometimes they strew his way,
and his sweet praises sing;
resounding all the day
hosannas to their King.
Then 'Crucify!'
is all their breath,
and for his death
they thirst and cry.
4 Why, what hath my Lord done?
What makes this rage and spite?
He made the lame to run,
he gave the blind their sight.
Sweet injuries!
yet they at these
themselves displease,
and 'gainst him rise.
5 They rise, and needs will have
my dear Lord made away;
a murderer they save,
the Prince of Life they slay.
Yet cheerful he
to suffering goes,
that he his foes
from thence might free.
6 In life, no house, no home
my Lord on earth might have;
in death, no friendly tomb
but what a stranger gave.
What may I say?
Heaven was his home;

How shall we sing salvation's song
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #561 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Music and Song Lyrics: 1 How shall we sing salvation's song
when justice stands denied,
when greed and tyranny and wrong
prevail on every side?
Shall silent fall our voice of praise,
as on the willows hung
the harps that told of happier days
when songs of home were sung?
2 Yet still we sing as Moses sang
beside the parted wave,
when Canaan's skies in triumph rang
to God the strong to save.
We too in psalms like David sing,
as David's faith we claim,
who sang as shepherd-boy and king
of God's eternal name.
3 And we have blessings more than they
in Christ our risen Lord,
himself our Life and Truth and Way,
his Spirit on us poured.
For ours the cross where Jesus died,
the love that bore our sins;
to him, enthroned and glorified,
salvation's song begins. Scripture: Exodus 15 Languages: English Tune Title: LLANGARRON

angel-harps for ever ringing,
rest not day nor night;
thousands only live to bless thee
and confess thee
Lord of might.
2 Thou who art beyond the farthest
mortal eye can scan,
can it be that thou regardest
songs of sinful man?
Can we know that thou art near us,
and wilt hear us?
Yea, we can.
3 Yea, we know that thou rejoicest
o'er each work of thine;
thou didst ears and hands and voices
for thy praise design;
craftsman's art and music's measure
for thy pleasure
all combine.
4 In thy house, great God, we offer
of thine own to thee;
and for thine acceptance proffer
all unworthily
hearts and minds and hands and voices
in our choicest
psalmody.
5 Honour, glory, might, and merit
thine shall ever be,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
blessèd Trinity.
Of the best that thou hast given
earth and heaven
render thee. Scripture: 1 Kings 8:22-30 Languages: English Tune Title: ANGEL VOICES

and from the miry clay,
and on a rock he set my feet,
establishing my way.
3 He put a new song in my mouth,
our God to magnify:
many shall see it, and shall fear,
and on the Lord rely.

upon the Lord relies;
respecting not the proud, nor such
as turn aside to lies. Scripture: Psalm 40:1-4 Languages: English Tune Title: BALLERMA
