For the Fruits of This Creation
Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #97 (1989) Meter: 8.4.8.4.8.8.8.4 Topics: The Glory of the Triune God Praise and Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 For the fruits of this creation,
thanks be to God;
for good gifts to every nation,
thanks be to God;
for the plowing, sowing, reaping,
silent growth while we are sleeping,
future needs in earth's safekeeping,
thanks be to God.
2 In the just reward of labor,
God's will is done;
in the help we give our neighbor,
God's will is done;
in our worldwide task of caring
for the hungry and despairing,
in the harvests we are sharing,
God's will is done.
3 For the harvests of the Spirit,
thanks be to God;
for the good we all inherit,
thanks be to God;
for the wonders that astound us,
for the truths that still confound us,
most of all, that love has found us,
thanks be to God.

Your Love, O God
Author: Fred Kaan; Anders Frostenson Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #120b (1989) Meter: 11.10.11.10.11.10 Topics: The Glory of the Triune God God's Nature First Line: Your love, O God, is broad like beach and meadow Refrain First Line: Your love, O God, is broad like beach and meadow Lyrics: 1 Your love, O God, is broad like beach and meadow,
wide as the wind, and our eternal home.
You leave us free to seek you or reject you,
you give us room to answer "yes" or "no."
Refrain:
Your love, O God, is broad like beach and meadow,
wide as the wind, and our eternal home.
2 We long for freedom where our truest being
is given hope and courage to unfold.
We seek in freedom space and scope for dreaming,
and look for ground where trees and plants can grow. [Refrain]
3 But there are walls that keep us all divided;
we fence each other in with hate and war.
Fear is the bricks and mortar of our prison,
our pride of self, the prison coat we wear. [Refrain]
4 O judge us, Lord, and in your judgment free us,
and set our feet in freedom's open space;
take us as far as your compassion wanders
among the children of the human race. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: FINLANDIA
Your Love, O God
There's a Wideness in God's Mercy
Author: Frederick W. Faber Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #121b (1989) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: The Glory of the Triune God God's Nature Lyrics: 1 There’s a wideness in God’s mercy,
like the wideness of the sea;
there’s a kindness in God's justice,
which is more than liberty.
2 There is welcome for the sinner,
and more graces for the good!
There is mercy with the Savior;
there is healing in his blood.
3 For the love of God is broader
than the measure of our mind;
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind.
4 If our love were but more simple,
we should rest upon God's word;
and our lives would be illumined
by the presence of our Lord.
Scripture: Matthew 20:16 Languages: English Tune Title: IN BABILONE

Give to the Winds Thy Fears
Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Wesley Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #129 (1989) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Glory of the Triune God Providence Lyrics: 1. Give to the winds thy fears;
hope and be undismayed.
God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears,
God shall lift up thy head.
2. Through waves and clouds and storms,
God gently clears thy way;
wait thou God's time; so shall this night
soon end in joyous day.
3. Leave to God's sovereign sway
to choose and to command;
so shalt thou, wondering, own that way,
how wise, how strong this hand.
4. Let us in life, in death,
thy steadfast truth declare,
and publish with our latest breath
thy love and guardian care.

We Gather Together
Author: Theodore Baker Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #131 (1989) Meter: Irregular Topics: The Glory of the Triune God Providence First Line: We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing Lyrics: 1. We gather together
to ask the Lord's blessing;
he chastens and hastens
his will to make known.
The wicked oppressing
now cease from distressing.
Sing praises to his name;
he forgets not his own.
2. Beside us to guide us,
our God with us joining,
ordaining, maintaining
his kingdom divine;
so from the beginning
the fight we were winning;
thou, Lord, wast at our side,
all glory be thine!
3. We all do extol thee,
thou leader triumphant,
and pray that thou still
our defender wilt be.
Let thy congregation
escape tribulation;
thy name be ever praised!
O Lord, make us free!

Children of the Heavenly Father
Author: Caroline V. Sandell-Berg; Ernst W. Olson Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #141 (1989) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Glory of the Triune God Providence Lyrics: 1 Children of the heavenly Father
safely in his bosom gather;
nestling bird nor star in heaven
such a refuge e'er was given.
2 God his own doth tend and nourish;
in his holy courts they flourish;
from all evil things he spares them;
in his mighty arms he bears them.
3 Neither life nor death shall ever
from the Lord his children sever;
unto them his grace he showeth,
and their sorrows all he knoweth.
4 Though he giveth or he taketh,
God his children ne'er forsaketh;
his the loving purpose solely
to preserve them pure and holy. Languages: English Tune Title: TRYGGARE KAN INGEN VARA

If Thou But Suffer God to Guide Thee
Author: Georg Neumark; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #142 (1989) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Topics: The Glory of the Triune God Providence Lyrics: 1. If thou but suffer God to guide thee,
and hope in God through all thy ways,
God will give strength, whate'er betide thee,
and bear thee through the evil days.
Who trusts in God's unchanging love
builds on the rock that naught can move.
2. Only be still, and wait God's leisure
in cheerful hope, with heart content
to take whate'er thy Maker's pleasure
and all-discerning love hath sent;
we know our inmost wants are known,
for we are called to be God's own.
3. Sing, pray, and keep God's ways unswerving;
so do thine own part faithfully,
and trust God's word; though undeserving,
thou yet shalt find it true for thee.
God never yet forsook at need
the soul that trusted God indeed.

Lift Every Voice and Sing
Author: James Weldon Johnson Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #519 (1989) Meter: Irregular Topics: The Glory of the Triune God Praise and Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 Lift every voice and sing, till earth and heaven ring,
ring with the harmonies of liberty;
let our rejoicing rise high as the listening skies,
let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us;
sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
let us march on till victory is won.
2 Stony the road we trod, bitter the chastening rod,
felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet
come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered;
we have come, treading our path thru the blood of the slaughtered,
out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last
where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
3 God of our weary years, God of our silent tears,
thou who hast brought us thus far on the way;
thou who hast by thy might led us into the light,
keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met thee;
lest our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget thee;
shadowed beneath thy hand, may we forever stand,
true to our God, true to our native land.
