For the Fruit of All Creation
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 8.4.8.4.8.8.8.4 Appears in 70 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 5:22-23 Lyrics: 1 For the fruit of all creation,
thanks be to God.
For the gifts to every 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 be done.
In the help we give our neighbor,
God's will be 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.

Of All the Spirit's Gifts to Me
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 15 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 5:22 Lyrics: 1 Of all the Spirit's gifts to me,
I pray that I may never cease
to take and treasure most these three:
love, joy, and peace.
2 He shows me love is at the root
of ev'ry gift sent from above,
of eve'y flower, of ev'ry fruit,
that God is love.
3 He shows me that if I possess
a love no evil can destroy,
however great is my distress,
that this is joy.
4 Though what's ahead is mystery,
and life itself is ours on lease,
each day the Spirit says to me,
"Go forth in peace."
5 We go in peace, but made aware
that in a needy world like this
our clearest purpose is to share
love, joy, and peace.

Spirit of God, Descend Upon My Heart
Author: George Croly Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 341 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 5:22-23 Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, descend upon my heart;
Wean it from earth; through all its pulses move;
Stoop to my weakness, mighty as Thou art,
And make me love Thee as I ought to love.
2 I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies,
No sudden rending of the veil of clay,
No angel visitant, no opening skies;
But take the dimness of my soul away.
3 Hast Thou not bid us love Thee, God and King?
All, all Thine own, soul, heart, and strength, and mind;
I see Thy cross—there teach my heart to cling:
O let me seek Thee, and O let me find!
4 Teach me to feel that Thou art always nigh;
Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear,
To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh;
Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.
5 Teach me to love Thee as Thine angels love,
One holy passion filling all my frame;
The baptism of the heaven-descended Dove,
My heart an altar, and Thy love the flame.
Amen. Topics: Commitment; Communion, Holy; Love and Communion; Spirit, The Holy Used With Tune: MORECAMBE

O Master, Let Me Walk with Thee
Author: Washington Gladden Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 570 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 5 Lyrics: 1 O Master, let me walk with thee
in lowly paths of service free;
tell me thy secret; help me bear
the strain of toil, the fret of care.

by some clear, winning word of love;
teach me the wayward feet to stay,
and guide them in the homeward way.

in closer, dearer company,
in work that keeps faith sweet and strong,
in trust that triumphs over wrong.
4 In hope that sends a shining ray
far down the future's broadening way,
in peace that only thou canst give,
with thee, O Master, let me live.
