God, Creator And Preserver

Author: John Ellerton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11308 Meter: 8.7.8.7 First Line: God, Creator and Preserver! Lyrics: 1 God, Creator and Preserver! God, who feedest man and beast; God, whose tender mercy careth For the weakest and the least; 2 If in former times of gladness, In the fullness of our bread, Harvest gifts to Thee we offered Harvest songs to Thee we said; 3 Shall we not in trustful patience Cast our care upon Thee now? Shall we not in meek obedience To Thy righteous judgments bow? 4 Though the earth withhold her increase, Though the heaven restrain its dew, Though his hand the reaper fill not, Yet we know that Thou art true. 5 Not in vain the mighty promise, From beneath the Bow of Peace, Told us, while the earth remaineth, Seed-time, harvest, shall not cease. 6 But our sins have stayed Thy blessing, Our rebellions drawn Thy sword; Pity now Thy mourning people; Think upon Thy covenant, Lord. 7 So the sunshine of Thy bounty Once again shall dry our tears; And Thy gracious hand restore us All our canker-eaten years.
