This Day at Thy Creating Word
Author: William W. How Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 38 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 1:5 Lyrics: 1 This day at Thy creating word
First o'er the earth the light was poured:
O Lord, this day upon us shine
And fill our souls with light divine.
2 This day the Lord for sinners slain
In might victorious rose again:
O Jesus, may we raised be
From death of sin to life in thee!
3 This day the Holy Spirit came
With fiery tongues of cloven flame:
O Spirit, fill our hearts this day
With grace to hear and grace to pray.
4 O day of light and life and grace,
From earthly toil sweet resting-place,
Thy hallowed hours, blest gift of love,
Give we again to God above.
5 All praise to God the Father be,
All praise, eternal Son, to Thee,
Whom, with the Spirit, we adore
Forever and forevermore.
Amen. Topics: Adoration Lord's Day Used With Tune: WINCHESTER NEW
This Day at Thy Creating Word
Hymn 147
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 1 First Line: Now let a spacious world arise, Lyrics:
"Now let a spacious world arise,"
Said the Creator Lord:
At once th' obedient earth and skies
Rose at his sovereign word.
[Dark was the deep; the waters lay
Confused, and drowned the land:
He called the light; the new-born day
Attends on his command.
He bids the clouds ascend on high;
The clouds ascend, and bear
A wat'ry treasure to the sky,
And float on softer air.
The liquid element below
Was gathered by his hand;
The rolling seas together flow,
And leave the solid land.
With herbs and plants, a flowery birth,
The naked globe he crowned,
Ere there was rain to bless the earth,
Or sun to warm the ground.
Then he adorned the upper skies;
Behold the sun appears;
The moon and stars in order rise
To make our months and years.
Out of the deep th' almighty King.
Did vital beings frame,
The painted fowls of every wing,
And fish of every name.]
He gave the lion and the worm
At once their wondrous birth;
And grazing beasts of various form
Rose from the teeming earth.
Adam was framed of equal clay,
Though sovereign of the rest
Designed for nobler ends than they,
With God's own image blest.
Thus glorious in the Maker's eye
The young creation stood;
He saw the building from on high,
His word pronounced it good.
Lord, while the frame of nature stands,
Thy praise shall fill my tongue;
But the new world of grace demands
A more exalted song.

O God, Our Help in Ages Past
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 1,239 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 1:2-10 Lyrics:
1 O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home!
2 Under the shadow of Thy throne
Still may we dwell secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received its frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night,
Before the rising sun.
5 O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while life shall last
And our eternal home!
Amen.

The Spacious Firmament on High
Author: Joseph Addison (1672-1719) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 785 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 1, 2:1-4 Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high,
with all the blue ethereal sky,
and spangled heavens, a shining frame,
their great Original proclaim.
The unwearied sun from day to day
does his Creator's power display;
and publishes to every land
the work of an almighty hand.
2 Soon as the evening shades prevail,
the moon takes up the wondrous tale,
and nightly to the listening earth
repeats the story of her birth:
whilst all the stars that round her burn,
and all the planets in their turn,
confirm the tidings, as they roll
and spread the truth from pole to pole.
3 What though in solemn silence all
move round the dark terrestrial ball,
what though no real voice nor sound,
amid their radiant orbs be found;
in reason's ear they all rejoice,
and utter forth a glorious voice;
for ever singing as they shine,
"The hand that made us is divine." Topics: Creation; Creation Used With Tune: CREATION

Songs of praise the angels sang
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 542 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 1:3 Lyrics: 1 Songs of praise the angels sang,
heaven with alleluias rang,
when creation was begun,
when God spake and it was done.
2 Songs of praise awoke the morn
when the Prince of peace was born;
songs of praise arose when he
captive led captivity.
3 Heaven and earth must pass away;
songs of praise shall crown that day:
God will make new heavens and earth;
songs of praise shall hail their birth.
4 And shall we alone be dumb
till that glorious kingdom come?
No, the church delights to raise
psalms and hymns and songs of praise.
5 Saints below, with heart and voice,
still in songs of praise rejoice;
learning here, by faith and love,
songs of praise to sing above.
6 Hymns of glory, songs of praise,
Father, unto thee we raise,
Jesu, glory unto thee,
with the Spirit, ever be. Topics: Proper 7 Year B; Proper 15 Year B; St. Michael and All Angels Used With Tune: NORTHAMPTON

We Plow the Fields, and Scatter
Author: Matthias Claudius; Jane Montgomery Campbell Meter: 7.6.7.6 D with refrain Appears in 453 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 1 Lyrics: 1 We plow the fields and scatter
the good seed on the land,
but it is fed and watered
by God's almighty hand;
he sends the snow in winter,
the warmth to swell the grain,
the breezes and the sunshine,
and soft refreshing rain.
Refrain:
All good gifts around us
are sent from heav'n above;
then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord
for all his love.
2 He only is the Maker
of all things near and far;
he paints the wayside flower,
he lights the evening star;
the winds and waves obey him,
by him the birds are fed;
much more to us, his children,
he gives our daily bread. [Refrain]
3 We thank you, our Creator,
for all things bright and good,
the seed-time and the harvest,
our life, our health, our food;
accept the gifts we offer
for all your love imparts,
and what you most would treasure -
our humble, thankful hearts. [Refrain] Topics: Special Occasions; Christ--Adoration and praise; God--Creator; God--Goodness of; Thankfulness; Thanksgiving (Harvest) Used With Tune: WIR PFLÜGEN
