Creator of the World, to Thee

Author: Charles Coffin; John M. Neale Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1078 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. Creator of the world, to Thee And endless rest of joy belongs; And heavenly choirs are ever free To sing on high their festal songs. 2. But we are fallen creatures here, Where pain and sorrow daily come; And how can we in exile drear Sing out, as they, sweet songs of Home? 3. O Father, who dost promise still That they who mourn shall blessèd be, Grant us to weep for deeds of ill That banish us so long from Thee. 4. But weeping, grant us faith to rest In hope upon Thy loving care; Till Thou restore us, with the blest, Their songs of praise in Heav’n to share. 5. To Father, Son and Holy Ghost, The God whom Heav’n and earth adore, From men and from the angel host Be praise and glory evermore. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GREGORY
