The Works of the Lord Are Created

Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 12.11.12.11 Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: The works of the Lord are created in wisdom 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 show 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 all creation, the moon marks the rhythm of months in their turn; the glittering stars are arrayed in his honor, 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!

In Our Day of Thanksgiving

Author: W. H. Draper Meter: 13.12.13.11 Appears in 24 hymnals First Line: In our day of thanksgiving one psalm let us offer Lyrics: 1 In our day of thanksgiving one psalm let us offer for the saints who before us have found their reward; when the shadow of death fell upon them, we sorrowed, but now we rejoice that they rest in the Lord. 2 In the morning of life, and at noon, and at even, he called them away from our worship below; but love, in the Wod, at the font, and on the altar had girt them with grace for the way they should go. 3 These stones that have echoed their praises are holy, and dear is the ground where their feet have once trod; yet here they confessed they were strangers and pilgrims, and still they were seeking the city of God. 4 Sing praise, then, for all who here sought and here found him, whose journey is ended, whose perils are past; they believed in the light; and its glory is round them where the clouds of earth’s sorrows are lifted at last.

We Come to This Table

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 12.11.12.11 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: We come to this table, O God, with thanksgiving Lyrics: We come to this table, O God, with thanksgiving. We lift up our hearts, we remember, we pray. We hear Jesus' welcome—inviting, forgiving; We know your Spirit's peace as we feast here today. We dine at your table as sisters and brothers, Diverse in our cultures, yet nourished as one. The bread and the cup that we share here with others Are gifts uniting all who are claimed by your Son. We grieve for your world here; we cry, "How much longer?" We pray for the cycles of violence to cease. Yet here, in Christ broken, we're fed and made stronger To labor in his name for a world filled with peace. We rise from this table with new dedication To feed the world's children, to free the oppressed, To clear out the minefields, to care for creation; We pray, O God of peace, that our work will be blest.
