Your Love, O God, Has All the World Created
Author: Albert F. Bayly, 1901-1984 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Your love, O God, has all the world created,
And led your people to this present hour;
In Christ we see life's glory consummated;
Your Spirit manifests his living pow'r.
2 We bring you, Lord, in fervent intercession
The children of your world-wide family:
With contrite hearts we offer our confession,
For we have sinned against your charity.
3 From out the darkness of our hope's frustration,
From all the broken idols of our pride,
We turn to seek your truth's illumination,
And find your mercy waiting at our side.
4 In pity look upon your children's striving
In daily struggles to be understood,
Till at the fullness of your truth arriving,
We find in Christ the crown of ev'ry good.
5 Inspire your church, mid earth's discordant voices,
To preach the gospel of its Lord above,
Until the day this warring world rejoices
To hear the mighty harmonies of love.

O Lord of every shining constellation
This Is the Day When Light Was First Created
Author: Fred Kaan, b. 1929 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 This is the day when light was first created,
Symbol and gift of order and design.
In light is God's intention clearly stated,
The break of day reveals his loving mind.
2 This is the day of our complete surprising,
Repeat of Easter: Christ has come to life!
Now is the feast of love's revolt and rising
Against the rule of hell and death and grief.
3 We join to praise, with ev'ry race and nation,
The God who with the world his Spirit shares;
Strong wind of change and earth's illumination,
Dispelling static thoughts and darkest fears.
4 This is the day of worship and of vision,
Great birthday of the church in ev'ry land.
Let Christians all confess their sad division,
And seek the strength again as one to stand.
5 We pray that this, the day of re-creation,
May hallow all the week this is to come.
Help us, O Lord, to lay a good foundation
For all we do at work, at school, at home. Topics: Creation; Easter Season; Ecumenism; Gathering; Light; New Year; Pentecost; Petition; Praise; Renewal; Rest; Service; Solidarity; Sunday; Sunday; Unity; Universe; World Scripture: Acts 2:1-11 Used With Tune: NORTHBROOK
