Creating God, We Give You Thanks

Author: William deWitt Hyde Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 46 hymnals 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.

Do Thou their anxious souls enlarge: Their best acquirements are our gain; We share the blessings they obtain. 3 Clothe, then with energy divine Their words, and let their words be Thine; To them Thy sacred truth reveal, Suppress their fear, inflame their zeal. 4 Teach them to sow the precious seed; Teach them Thy chosen flock to feed; Teach them immortal souls to gain, Souls that will well reward their pain. 5 Let thronging multitudes around Hear from their lips the joyful sound; In humble strains Thy grace implore, And feel Thy new-creating power. 6 Let sinners break their massy chains, Distressèd souls forget their pains; Let light through distant realms be spread, And Sion rear her drooping head.

Author: J. M. Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 98 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord of hosts, Whose glory fills The bounds of the eternal hills, And yet vouchsafes, in Christian lands, To dwell in temples made of hands; 2 Grant that all we who here to-day Rejoicing this foundation lay, May be in very deed Thine own, Built on the precious Corner-stone. 3 Endue the creatures with Thy grace, That shall adorn Thy dwelling-place; The beauty of the oak and pine, The gold and silver, make them Thine. 4 To Thee they all belong; to Thee The treasures of the earth and sea; And when we bring them to Thy throne, We but present Thee with Thine own. 5 The minds that guide, endue with skill; The hands that work, preserve from ill; That we, who these foundations lay, May raise the top-stone in its day. 6 Both now and ever, Lord, protect The temple of Thine own elect; Be Thou in them, and they in Thee, O ever blessèd Trinity! Amen. Topics: Laying of a Corner-Stone; Corner-stone and Consecration Used With Tune: WAREHAM
