Creator God
Tune: 10.10.10.4. Sine Nomine (Vaughan Williams 1872-1958) – Words usually sung to this tune: For All the Saints H&P 814, HON 134
1. | Creator God, your children’s voices rise, Fed by your earth, uplifted by your skies, Thankful for all its beauty and surprise, Praise ever singing, ever singing. |
2. | Where forests range their canopies of trees, May we sustain such vital gifts as these, Let woodland shelter still resound with bees, Birds ever singing, ever, singing. |
3. | Beneath the moon the ocean lifts its tide, Help us to curb our poisoned human pride Still may the whales, the fish and dolphins ride Seas ever singing, ever singing |
4. | From south to north, from deeps to thinnest air, Kingdoms of creatures flourish everywhere, Open our hearts and let us learn to share Life ever singing, ever singing. |
5. | God gave the word, and earth spins out in space, Made us custodians of this glorious place, Then let us give the future human race Worlds ever singing, ever singing. |
