For the Fruit of All Creation
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.4.8.4.8.8.8.4 Appears in 70 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 1:29 Lyrics: 1 For the fruit of all creation,
Thanks be to God.
For His gifts to ev'ry 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. Used With Tune: AR HYD Y NOS

I Bind unto Myself Today
Author: Patrick; Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 68 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 1 Lyrics: 1 I bind unto myself today
the strong name of the Trinity
by invocation of the same,
the Three in One and One in Three.
2 I bind this day to me forever,
by power of faith, Christ’s incarnation,
his baptism in the Jordan river,
his death on cross for my salvation,
his bursting from the spiced tomb,
his riding up the heavenly way,
his coming at the day of doom,
I bind unto myself today.
3 I bind unto myself today
the virtues of the starlit heaven,
the glorious sun’s life-giving ray,
the whiteness of the moon at even,
the flashing of the lightning free,
the whirling wind’s tempestuous shocks,
the stable earth, the deep salt sea
around the old eternal rocks.
4 I bind unto myself today
the power of God to hold and lead,
God’s eye to watch, God’s might to stay,
God’s ear to hearken to my need,
the wisdom of my God to teach,
God’s hand to guide, God’s shield to ward,
the word of God to give me speech,
God’s heavenly host to be my guard.
5 Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
6 I bind unto myself the name,
the strong name of the Trinity
by invocation of the same,
the Three in One and One in Three,
of whom all nature has creation,
eternal Father, Spirit, Word.
Praise to the Lord of my salvation;
salvation is of Christ the Lord!

Genesis 1: Let heav'n arise, let earth appear
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 20 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 1 First Line: Let heav'n arise, let earth appear Lyrics:
Let heav’n arise, let earth appear,
said the Almighty Lord:
The heav’n arose, the earth appeared,
at his creating word.
Thick darkness brooded o’er the deep:
God said, ‘Let there be light:’
The light shone forth with smiling ray,
and scattered ancient night.
He bade the clouds ascend on high;
the clouds ascend, and bear
A wat’ry treasure to the sky,
and float upon the air.
The liquid element below
was gathered by his hand;
The rolling seas together flow,
and leave the solid land.
With herbs, and plants, and fruitful trees,
the new-formed globe he crowned,
Ere there was rain to bless the soil,
or sun to warm the ground.
Then high in heav’n’s resplendent arch
he placed two orbs of light,
He set the sun to rule the day,
the moon to rule the night.
Next, from the deep, th’ Almighty King
did vital beings frame;
Fowls of the air of every wing,
and fish of every name.
To all the various brutal tribes
he gave their wondrous birth;
At once the lion and the worm
sprung from the teeming earth.
Then, chief o’er all his works below,
at last was Adam made;
His Maker’s image blessed his soul,
and glory crowned his head.
Fair in th’ Almighty Maker’s eye
the whole creation stood.
He viewed the fabric he had raised;
his word pronounced it good.

feeling all the strains of human living,
caring and forgiving till we're reconciled:
Hail and Hosanna, warm father God!
4 Old, aching God, gray with endless care,
calmly piercing evil's new disguises,
glad of good surprises, wiser than despair:
Hail and Hosanna, old, aching God!
5 Young, growing God, eager, on the move,
saying no to falsehood and unkindness,
crying out for justice, giving all you have:
Hail and Hosanna, young, growing God!
6 Great, living God, never fully known,
joyful darkness far beyond our seeing,
closer yet than breathing, everlasting home:
Hail and Hosanna, great, living God! Topics: Adoration and Praise God; God Fatherhood, Motherhood of; God Presence of; Year A All Saints; Year C Proper 8; Year C Proper 9 Used With Tune: WESTCHASE

God of the Fertile Fields
Author: Georgia Harkness Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 15 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 1:1 Lyrics: 1 God of the fertile fields,
shaper of earth that yields
our daily bread:
forth from your bounteous hand
come gifts your love has planned,
that all in every land
be clothed and fed.
2 We would be stewards true,
holding in trust from you
all that you give;
help us in love to share,
teach us like you to care
for people everywhere,
that all may live.
3 As grows the hidden seed
to fruit that serves our need,
so your reign grows.
Let all our toil be used,
no gift of yours abused,
no humble task refused
your love bestows.
4 God of the countryside,
dear to the Christ who died
to make us one:
we pledge our lives anew
in faithful love to you.
Guide all we say and do.
Your will be done.
