in our Father's house;
every human talent hallow,
hidden skills arouse,
that within your earthly temple,
wise and simple, may rejoice.
2 Poet, painter, music-maker,
all your treasures bring;
craftsman, actor, graceful dancer
make your offering:
join your hands in celebration:
let creation shout and sing!
3 Word from God eternal springing
fill our minds, we pray;
and in all artistic vision
give integrity:
may the flame within us burning
kindle yearning day by day.
4 In all places and forever
glory be expressed
to the Son, with God the Father
and the Spirit blessed:
in our worship and our living
keep us striving for the best. Topics: Doxologies; God's World Work and Leisure, Art and Science; Pentecost The Holy Spirit; Trinity Sunday The Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: ARTHOG
Come to us, creative Spirit
