Fire of Creation
Author: Colin Gibson Hymnal: NHOH #61 Meter: Irregular First Line: Fire of creation, bursting from the core Lyrics: 1 Fire of creation, bursting from the core,
fire of creation, burning evermore;
fire by the lakeside, glowing on the sands,
Christ offers welcome, outstretched his wounded hands.
Fire of the Spirit, burning wild and free,
fire of the Spirit, burn now in me.
2 Bush in the desert blazing, ringed with light,
God's holy presence, challenge and delight;
pillar of fire, marking out the way,
flame in the darkness, a plume of cloud by day.
Fire of the Spirit, burning wild and free,
fire of the Spirit, burn now in me.
3 Blazing in the furnace where the three are thrown,
walking unharmed, for God walks with his own;
fierce is the furnace of refining flame;
fire bakes the bread that we break in Jesus' name.
Fire of the Spirit, burning wild and free,
fire of the Spirit, burn now in me.
4 Fire in a courtyard, lit against the cold,
dawn and the cock crows, bitter truths are told;
bright flames descending, flickering in the air:
courage returning, new faith for old despair.
Fire of the Spirit, burning wild and free,
fire of the Spirit, burn now in me. Topics: Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: FIRE HYMN

For All Who Have a Song They Cannot Sing
Author: Mary Kay Beall Hymnal: NHOH #62 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: For all who have a song they cannot sing,
For all who have a prayer they cannot pray,
For all who have a need they do not know,
For these, O Lord, you gave your life away.
For all whose hearts are heavy with despair,
For all who live in pain and misery,
For all who wander homeless and unloved,
For them, O Lord, you died at Calvary.
For them, O LOrd, and yes, for me as well,
You suffered and you died so long ago;
For them, O Lord, and yes, for me as well,
Your love for me is greater than I know.
For all who live in chains they cannot break,
For all with debts they neer can repay,
For all who mourn the path they did not take,
for them, O Lord,
(for me, O Lord)
For us, O Lord, you gave your life away. Scripture: John 3:16 Languages: English

For God So Loved the World
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Hymnal: NHOH #64 Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: "For God so loved the world" Lyrics: 1 'For God so loved the world'
he sent his Son to save.
Lord, may a sinner such as I
receive the gift he gave.
2 'To seek and save the lost,'
as Son of Man he came.
Lord, at what soul-forsaken cost
you bore our sin and shame.
3 'Repent, believe and come!'
The kingdom is for all.
Lord, give us ears to hear your word
and hearts to heed your call.
4 'Fear not, for it is I!'
His voice dispels the gloom.
Lord, let each morning gild the sky
above an empty tomb.
5 'Peace be with you,' he said,
'my peace with you I leave.'
Lord, may the storms of life be stilled,
our souls your peace receive.
6 'Walk while you have the light;'
Lord, be yourself the Way,
a path of life with glory bright
to God's eternal day. Topics: Christian Community; Discipleship; Gospel Languages: English

For the Blast of Creation
Author: Colin Gibson Hymnal: NHOH #65 Lyrics: 1 For the blast of Creation,
flinging far into space
on the winds of the cosmos
all the gifts of your grace,
we bring awe, we bring wonder
(though darkly we see),
and we praise you who gave us
our freedom to be.
2 From the one to the many
from the many to the more,
from the depths of the ocean
to the edge of the shore,
ever changing and branching
like a stream to the sea,
and we praise you who gave life
full freedom to be.
3 From pure matter to mind,
from the cell to the soul,
to the consciousness seeking
a clue to the whole,
for the thinkers who traced
our ascent like a tree,
we praise you who gave us
such freedom to see.
4 There is more to the story,
there is more to be found,
for our universe stretches
unplumbed, without bound.
For those who will follow,
search further than we,
we praise you and trust the
new life yet to be. Topics: Creation Languages: English Tune Title: GIFT OF CREATION

To God Our Great Creator
Author: Mary Jackson Cathey Hymnal: NHOH #66 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: For those who share their knowledge Lyrics: Refrain:
To God our great Creator
By whose own grace we live,
We come with joyful singing
Our grateful thanks to give.
For those who share their knowledge
To shape the thoughts and ways
Of life and love and learning
To mold our lives and days.
For people who rear children
With reason and with care,
Encouraging their learning
To seek, to act, to dare.
For dedicated teachers
Who patiently provide
Support and information
Inspiring as they guide.
For eager students waiting
To glimpse the great unknown
Through fresh, new information
That soon will be their own.
For blessings God has given
In light that learning brings,
We offer prayer and praises
As every voice now sings.

To God our great Creator
By whose own grace we live,
We come with joyful singing
Our grateful thanks to give. Scripture: Proverbs 22:6 Languages: English

From East to West, O'er All the Earth
Author: Jeffery Rowthorn Hymnal: NHOH #67 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 From east to west, o'er all the earth,
the angel choirs announce the birth
of Christ, the promised Prince of Peace,
who comes to bid our conflicts cease.
2 Yet their good news is barely heard,
and grieving hearts are left unstirred
when jobs are lost and homes foreclosed
and even god seems ill-disposed.
3 On darkest nights and saddest days
the angels still sing out their praise
of Christ whose love dispels the gloom
of shantytown and hospice room.
4 Their worldwide song is clearly heard
where hearts by human need are stirred;
the holy Child, his crib outgrown,
would make our lives his earthly home.
5 So, young and old, come join the song
in praise of Christ who rights each wrong,
and let us all in every way
make known with joy his birth today. Topics: Advent; Christmas Languages: English

From Mothers' Arms, We See the World (A Hymn about God as Mother)
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: NHOH #68 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: From mothers' arms, we see the world Lyrics: 1 From mothers' arms, we see the world,
in mother's arms we look for food,
she gives us life, she holds us close,
and so may God be understood.
2 This God is tender, loving-kind,
the mother bird who guards her nest,
this God can rage, with angry tears,
the mother bear deprived and stressed.
3 This God is home and warming hearth,
does not forget us when we leave,
is quick to welcome and embrace,
absorbs our pain when we must grieve.
4 God is the seeker of that coin,
the child she lost but longs to find,
the seamstress God who stitches peace
from all the tatters we've designed.
5 More than our minds can comprehend
more than our bodies can attest,
God is the love that mothers give
that every child be held and blessed. Topics: God Giver; God Guide; God God's Love Languages: English Tune Title: MAITLAND STREET

Give Thanks for Every Gift
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Hymnal: NHOH #69 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Give thanks for every gift
this fertile earth displays;
to God your voices lift
in thankfulness and praise!
Our sea and sky, our fruitful land,
are blessings from a Father's hand.
2 Each passing season brings
its store of sun and rain,
as winters turn to springs
and summers bloom again:
then God be thanked for autumn fields,
the ripened grain that harvest yields.
3 And even as we pray
'Give us our daily bread,'
we long to see the day
when all the world is fed,
when justice reigns from shore to shore
and hunger stalks the earth no more.
4 In Christ all needs are met,
to him in faith we come;
on him our hopes are set
of that eternal home,
where, one with him, our sins forgiven,
we share the harvest feast of heaven. Topics: Harvest Languages: English

the heart to act on what we've heard,
to live in mindfulness from all we learn,
give us this day your daily word.
