For the Music of Creation
Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Hymnal: Worship and Rejoice #641 (2003) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 For the music of creation,
for the song your Spirit sings,
for your sound’s divine expression,
burst of joy in living things:
God, our God, the world’s composer,
hear us, echoes of your voice;
music is your art, your glory,
let the human heart rejoice!
2 Psalms and symphonies exalt you,
drum and trumpet, string and reed,
simple melodies acclaim you,
tunes that rise from deepest need,
hymns of longing and belonging,
carols from a cheerful throat,
lilt of lullaby and love song
catching heaven in a note.
3 All the voices of the ages
in transcendent chorus meet,
worship lifting up the senses,
hands that praise, and dancing feet;
over discord and division
music speaks your joy and peace,
harmony of earth and heaven,
song of God that cannot cease!
Scripture: Isaiah 55:12 Languages: English Tune Title: RUSTINGTON

God Has Spoken by His Prophets
Author: George W. Briggs, 1875-1959 Hymnal: RitualSong #654 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 God has spoken by his prophets,
Spoken his unchanging Word;
Each from age to age proclaiming
God, the one the righteous, Lord.
In the world's despair and turmoil,
One firm anchor holds us fast;
God is king, his throne eternal;
God the first, and God the last.
2 God has spoken by Christ Jesus,
Christ, the everlasting Son,
Brightness of the Father's glory,
With the Father ever one;
Spoken by the Word Incarnate,
God of God, before time was;
Light of Light, to earth descending,
He reveals our God to us.
3 God is speaking by his Spirit,
Speaking to the hearts of all,
In the ageless Word expounding
God's own message for us all.
Through the rise and fall of nations
One sure faith yet standing fast;
God abides, his Word unchanging;
God the first, and God the last. Topics: 14th Sunday Year B; 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C; Confidence; Faith; Faithfulness of God; Hope; Mystery of God; Peace; Providence; Universe; Word; Word of God; World Scripture: Mark 6:1-6 Languages: English Tune Title: RUSTINGTON

God, whose giving knows no ending
Author: Robert L. Edwards, 1915- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #663 (1997) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 God, whose giving knows no ending,
from your rich and endless store,
nature's wonder, Jesus' wisdom,
costly cross, grave's shattered door:
gifted by you, we turn to you,
offering up ourselves in praise;
thankful song shall rise forever,
gracious donor of our days.
2 Skills and time are ours for pressing
toward the goals of Christ, your Son:
all at peace in health and freedom,
races joined, the church made one.
Now direct our daily labour,
lest we strive for self alone;
born with talents, make us servants
fit to answer at your throne.
3 Treasure too you have entrusted,
gain through powers your Grace conferred.
Ours to use for home and kindred,
and to spread the gospel word.
Open wide our hands in sharing,
as we heed Christ's ageless call,
healing, teaching and reclaiming,
serving you by loving all. Topics: Evangelism; Freedom / Liberation; God Goodness of; Healing / Health; Offering; One Life in Christ Discipleship; Sharing; Stewardship; Thankfulness; Unity; Work Scripture: Matthew 25:14-30 Languages: English Tune Title: RUSTINGTON

When Will People Cease Their Fighting?
Author: Constance Cherry Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #675 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 When will people cease their fighting?
When will armies wage no war,
nations conquer not their neighbor,
weapons idle, used no more?
When will guns and bombs be silent?
When will captives be set free?
All creation groans in longing
for the world's true liberty.
2 Floods and earthquakes, drought and famine
plague the world with awesome ill,
but far greater is war's horror
caused by human, stubborn will.
Blest are those who, working, praying,
purpose in their hearts to be
instruments of peace, committed
to the nations' harmony.
3 As we strive for peace with vigor,
hoping to be shown the way,
we are strengthened in the knowledge
of a future, perfect day;
for we know that deeper, richer
peace is ours when Christ shall reign:
then will all our swords be plowshares
and God's children free from pain. Topics: God's World Peace on Earth; God's World Peace on Earth; Peace on Earth Languages: English Tune Title: RUSTINGTON
