As water to the thirsty

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #534 (2013) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.6.4.4.6 Topics: Creation and the Environment Lyrics: 1 As water to the thirsty, as beauty to the eyes, as strength that follows weakness, as truth instead of lies, as songtime and springtime and summertime to be, so is my Lord, my living Lord, so is my Lord to me. 2 Like calm in place of clamour, like peace that follows pain, like meeting after parting, like sunshine after rain, like moonlight and starlight and sunlight on the sea, so is my Lord, my living Lord, so is my Lord to me. 3 As sleep that follows fever, as gold instead of grey, as freedom after bondage, as sunrise to the day, as home to the traveller and all we long to see, so is my Lord, my living Lord, so is my Lord to me.

Creator God, the world around

Author: Brian Hoare (b. 1935) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #536 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Creation and the Environment Lyrics: 1 Creator God, the world around declares your glory — flower and tree, the evening sky and torrent's sound and mountain stream and rolling sea. Yet all this beauty cannot show 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

The spacious firmament on high

Author: Joseph Addison (1672-1719) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #550 (2013) Topics: Creation and the Environment Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, with all the blue ethereal sky, and spangled heavens, a shining frame, their great Original proclaim. The unwearied sun from day to day does his Creator's power display, and publishes to every land the work of an almighty hand. 2 Soon as the evening shades prevail the moon takes up the wondrous tale, and nightly to the listening earth repeats the story of her birth; whilst all the stars that round her burn, and all the planets in their turn, confirm the tidings, as they roll, and spread the truth from pole to pole. 3 What though in solemn silence all move round the dark terrestrial ball; what though nor real voice nor sound amid their radiant orbs be found; in reason's ear they all rejoice, and utter forth a glorious voice, for ever singing as they shine, 'The hand that made us is divine.' Scripture: Psalm 19:1-6 Languages: English Tune Title: ADDISON'S
