Author: William DeWitt Hyde, 1858-1917 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #49 (2011) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Creation's Lord, we give Thee thanks
That this Thy world is incomplete;
That battle calls our marshalled ranks,
That work awaits our hands and feet;
2 That Thou hast not yet finished man,
That we are in the making still,
As friends who share the Maker's plan,
As sons who know the Father's will.
3 Beyond the present sin and shame,
Wrong's bitter, cruel, scorching blight,
We see the beckoning vision flame,
The blessed kingdom of the right.
4 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.
Amen. Topics: God the Father Creator; Consecration; Dévotion; God Eternity and Power; Opening; Peace Scripture: Psalm 92 Languages: English Tune Title: ROCKINGHAM OLD
