Author: Jeffery Rowthorn, b. 1934 Hymnal: RitualSong #711 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Creating God, your fingers trace Lyrics: 1 Creating God, your fingers trace
The bold designs of farthest space;
Let sun and moon and stars and light
And what lies hidden praise your might.
2 Sustaining God, your hands uphold
Earth's myst'ries known or yet untold;
Let water's fragile blend with air,
Enabling life, proclaim your care.
3 Redeeming God, your arms embrace
All now despised for creed or race;
Let peace, descending like a dove,
Make known on earth your healing love.
4 Indwelling God, your gospel claims
One fam'ly with a billion names;
Let ev'ry life be touched by grace
Until we praise you face to face.
