Author: Fred Kaan, b. 1929 Hymnal: Journeysongs (3rd ed.) #326 (2012) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 God of Adam, God of Joseph,
God of sowing, soil and seed,
Thank you for your world of promise:
Milk and honey, wine and bread.
2 God, you make us your companions,
Sharers of your loving cup;
Thank you for the generations,
Weave of names and threads of hope.
3 May your passion for creation
Be reflected in our own;
For our role in birth and nurture
Make through us your presence known.
4 Thank you for all men entrusted
With the charge of fatherhood,
And for those who have no children,
Yet are parents under God.
5 Abba (Father), God of Joseph,
Human Christ whose name we bear,
Spirit, womb of life and wisdom:
Thank you, God, for who we are! Topics: Creation; Labor; Thanksgiving; The Liturgical Year St. Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary (March 19); The Liturgical Year The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph Languages: English Tune Title: STUTTGART
