Creating God, We Give You Thanks
Author: William deWitt Hyde Hymnal: Voices United #292 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Work and Recreation Lyrics: 1 Creating God, we give you thanks
that this your world is incomplete;
that battle calls our marshalled ranks,
that work awaits our hands and feet.
2 You hast not finished woman, man,
for we are in the making still,
as friends who share the Maker’s plan
as those who know your loving will.
3 Beyond the present sin and shame,
wrong’s bitter, cruel, scorching blight,
we see the beckoning vision flame,
the blessèd kingdom of the right.
4 What though the kingdom long delay,
and still with haughty foes must cope?
It gives us that for which to pray,
a field for toil and faith and hope.
5 Since what we choose is what we are,
and what we love we yet shall be,
the goal may ever shine afar,
the will to win it makes us free. Tune Title: WAREHAM

we adore you! We believe! Languages: English Tune Title: BLAENWERN

Give Thanks, My Soul, For Harvest
Author: William Watkins Reid, Sr. Hymnal: Voices United #522 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Work and Recreation First Line: Give thanks, my soul for harvest Lyrics: 1 Give thanks, my soul, for harvest,
for store of fruit and grain;
but know the owner gives so
that we may share again.
Where people suffer hunger,
or little children cry,
with gifts from God’s rich bounty
may thankfulness reply.
2 Give thanks, my soul, for riches
of woodland, mine, and hill;
but know that gold and timber
are the Creator's still.
God lends to us, as stewards,
abundance we might share,
and thus provide earth's children
the blessing of God's care.
3 Give thanks, my soul, for labours,
that strength and days employ;
but know the Maker's purpose
brings toil as well as joy.
Show forth, O God, your purpose;
direct our will and hand
to share your love and bounty
with all in every land. Tune Title: MUNICH

O God of Every Nation
Author: William Watkins Reid, Jr. Hymnal: Voices United #677 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Work and Recreation Lyrics: 1 O God of every nation,
of every race and land,
redeem the whole creation
with your almighty hand;
where hate and fear divide us
and bitter threats are hurled,
in love and mercy guide us
and heal our strife-torn world.
2 From search for wealth and power
and scorn of truth and right,
from trust in bombs that shower
destruction through the night,
from pride of race and nation
and blindness to your way,
deliver every nation,
eternal God, we pray.
3 Give strength to those who labour
that all may find release
from fear of rattling sabre,
from dread of war's increase;
when hope and courage falter,
your still small voice be heard:
with faith that none can alter,
your servants undergird.
4 Keep bright in us the vision
of days when war shall cease,
when hatred and division
give way to love and peace,
till dawns the morning glorious
when peace on earth shall reign
and Christ shall rule victorious
o'er all the world's domain. Tune Title: LLANGLOFFAN

In the Bulb There Is a Flower
Author: Natalie Sleeth Hymnal: Voices United #703 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Work and Recreation Lyrics: 1 In the bulb there is a flower;
in the seed, an apple tree;
in cocoons, a hidden promise:
butterflies will soon be free!
In the cold and snow of winter
there's a spring that waits to be,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see.
2 There's a song in every silence,
seeking word and melody;
there's a dawn in every darkness,
bringing hope to you and me.
From the past will come the future;
what it holds, a mystery,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see.
3 In our end is our beginning;
in our time, infinity;
in our doubt there is believing;
in our life, eternity.
In our death, a resurrection;
at the last, a victory,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see. Languages: English Tune Title: PROMISE
