O Grant Us, God, a Little Space
Author: John Ellerton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 120 hymnals Topics: Science and Technology Lyrics: 1 O grant us, God, a little space
from daily tasks set free.
We meet within this holy place
and find security.
2 Around us rolls the ceaseless tide
of business, toil, and care,
And scarcely can we turn aside
for one brief hour of prayer.
3 Yet this is not the only place
your presence may be found;
On daily work you shed your grace,
and blessings all around.
4 Yours are the workplace, home, and mart,
the wealth of sea and land;
The worlds of science and of art
are fashioned by your hand.
5 Work shall be prayer, if all be wrought
as you would have it done;
And prayer, by you inspired and taught,
shall then with work be one.

Lord, bring the day to pass
Author: Ian Masson Fraser (b. 1917) Meter: 6.6.12.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Science and Technology Lyrics: 1 Lord, bring the day to pass
when forest, rock, and hill,
the beasts, the birds, the grass,
will know your finished will:
when we attain our destiny
and nature lives in harmony.
2 Forgive our careless use
of water, ore, and soil --
the plenty we abuse
supplied by others' toil:
save us from making self our creed,
turn us towards each other's need.
3 Help us, when we release
creation's secret powers,
to harness them for peace,
our children's peace and ours:
teach us the art of mastering
in servant form, like Christ our King.
4 Creation groans, travails,
futile its present plight,
bound -- till the hour it hails
God's children born of light:
that we may gain our true estate,
come, Lord, new heavens and earth create. Scripture: 1 John 4:17 Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN
Lord, bring the day to pass
Let all creation dance
Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Science and Technology 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 Used With Tune: DARWALL'S 148TH
Let all creation dance

praise God for the people who gather their yield,

foods packed and transported, and gathered and grown
by God-given neighbours, unseen and unknown.

then sifted, and smelted, or shaped and refined:
for oil and for iron, for copper and coal,
praise God, who in love has provided them all.

the urge to discover, create and fulfil:
for dreams and inventions that promise to gain
a future more hopeful, a world more humane.
5 Praise God for the harvest of mercy and love

for patience and kindness, that all may be led
to freedom and justice, and all may be fed. Scripture: 1 Chronicles 29:10-13 Used With Tune: STOWEY
