Thou Maker of our mortal frame

Author: Anon. Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: The Christian System Creation and Fall of Man Lyrics: 1 Thou Maker of our mortal frame-- Of all thy works the noblest far, We bow before thy righteous claim To all we have, and all we are. 2 Our tongues were fashioned for thy word, Our hands to do thy will divine; Our bodies are thy temple, Lord, The mind's immortal powers are thine. 3 Its highest thought--to trace thy skill, Its purest love, on thee to rest, Its noblest action of the will, To choose thy service, and be blest. 4 Our ransomed spirits rise to thee-- Unfailing source of light and joy! Thy love has made thy children free, Thy praise shall life and strength employ. 5 Give grace and mercy to the end-- For we are thine and not our own: So shall we to thy courts ascend, And cast our crowns before thy throne.

For the Blast of Creation

Author: Colin Gibson Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Creation 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. Used With Tune: GIFT OF CREATION

The wicked Man's Transgression proves

Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Songs of Praise to God the Creation and Providence Lyrics: 1 The wicked Man's Transgression proves, He fears not GOD, but Falshood loves; Mischievous Arts conceiving; The crafty Foe, with flatt'ring Lies, His cursed Purpose would disguise, In him there's no believing: But his dark Plots expos'd to Shame, Shall shew his Friendship's but a Name, Whate'er is his Profession; His wakeful Malice spends the Night, In forging his accursed Spite, In Schemes of great Oppression. But Reason whispers to my Heart, No Fear of God's before his Eyes. 2 But, LORD, thy Mercy's, my sure Hope, Thy sacred Truth's unmeasur'd Scope, Beyond the Skies extending; Thy Justice like the Hills remains, Thy Providence the World sustains, All Things on thee depending. Since of thy Goodness all partake, Thy shelt'ring Wings the Saints shall make, A Refuge for protection. Such Guests shall to thy Courts be led, And drink as from a Fountain Head, Of Joys, in full Perfection. 3 Thy Presence is eternal Day, To upright Hearts, O LORD! display, Thy Truth's invalued Treasure; Oh! let thy Saints thy Favour gain! With thee the Springs of Life remain, The Springs of Joy and Pleasure. Whilst they, at me, insulting spurn, Their Mischiefs on themselves return, For thou hast me protected: My harmless Life they would surprize, But down they're fall'n no more to rise, By all Mankind rejected. Scripture: Psalm 36 Used With Tune: [The wicked man's transgression proves]

First of the week and finest day

Author: David Mowbray, 1938- Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Creation Lyrics: 1 First of the week and finest day, when God commanded light to shine: cast darkness and its works away to celebrate with bread and wine! 2 First of the week was Easter morn when Christ the Lord from death was raised; new life, fresh hope that day was born and God in heaven and earth was praised. 3 First of the week the Spirit came to fill the church with grace and power; the rushing wind and tongues of flame were heralds of that promised hour. 4 First of the week we set aside to meet, to learn, to give, to pray, to spread Christ's gospel far and wide - in truth, this is the Lord's own day!
