God, Who Stretched the Spangled Heavens

Author: Catherine Cameron Hymnal: WinS1996 #309 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Person Name: Catherine Cameron Lyrics: 1 God, who stretched the spangled heavens Infinite in time and place, Flung the suns in burning radiance Through the silent fields of space; We, your children in your likeness, Share inventive powers with you; Great Creator, still creating, Show us what we yet may do. 2 We have ventured worlds undreamed of Since the childhood of our race; Known the ecstasy of winging Through untraveled realms of space; Probed the secrets of the atom, Yielding unimagined power, Facing us with life’s destruction Or our most triumphant hour. 3 Proudly rise our modern cities, Stately buildings, row on row; Yet their windows, blank, unfeeling, Stare on canyoned streets below, Where the lonely drift unnoticed In the city’s ebb and flow, Lost to purpose and to meaning, Scarcely caring where they go. 4 As each far horizon beckons, May it challenge us anew; Children of creative purpose, Serving others, honoring you. May our dreams prove rich with promise; Each endeavor well begun; Great Creator, give us guidance Till our goals and yours are one.

Blood-Patterson Hymnal: WinS1996 #290 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Person Name: Gilbert Keith Chesterton Lyrics: 1 O God of earth and altar, Bow down and hear our cry; Our earthly rulers falter, Our people drift and die; The walls of gold entomb us, The swords of scorn divide; Take not thy thunder from us, But take away our pride. 2 From all that terror teaches, From lies of tongue and pen, From all the easy speeches That comfort cruel men; From sale and profanation Of honor, and the sword From sleep and from damnation Deliver us good Lord. 3 Tie in a living tether Poor home and mighty hall; Bind all our lives together, Transform and save us all; In ire and exultation Aflame with faith, and free, Lift up a living nation With hearts made one in thee!
