Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Hymnal: Common Praise #79 (2000) Meter: 7.7.7.5.7.7.5 Lyrics: 1 God whose love is everywhere
made our earth and all things fair,
ever keeps them in his care;
praise the God of love!
He who hung the stars in space
holds the spinning world in place;
praise the God of love!
2 Come with thankfulness to sing
of the gifts the seasons bring,
summer, winter, autumn, spring;
praise the God of love!
He who gave us breath and birth
gives us all the fruitful earth;
praise the God of love!
3 Mark what love the Lord displayed,
all our sins upon him laid,
by his blood our ransom paid;
praise the God of love!
Circled by that scarlet band,
all the world is in his hand;
praise the God of love!
4 See the sign of love appear,
flame of glory, bright and clear,
light for all the world is here;
praise the God of love!
Gloom and darkness, get you gone!
Christ the Light of life has shone;
praise the God of love! Topics: Christingle Scripture: 2 Corinthians 13:11 Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTINGLE PRAISE
