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
Let all creation dance
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)
The works of the Lord are created in wisdom

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
O worship the King, all glorious above
