God Made the Tiny Freckled Fish
Author: Carol Christopher Drake Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 God made the tiny freckled fish
Who dart like raindrops through the seas,
God made the slow enormous whale
Who dives down deep on stormy days;
2 God made giraffes with long, long necks,
Fireflies and leopards strange and fierce,
The fury, lurching bears and more.
God made the stout rhinoceros.
3 For peacock, monkey, elephant,
The known or strange, but most of all
For making us who see such beasts,
Thanks boe to God for giving all.

To God our voices let us raise,
And loudly chant the joyful strain;

Whence free salvation we obtain.

Come near and worship at his throne
Before the Lord, their Maker, kneel,
And bow in adoration down.

Carol Christopher Drake
1933 - 2022 Author of "God Made the Tiny Freckled Fish" in Sing for Joy From the newsletter of St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Berkeley, California: "Many of you asked about the communion hymn we sang last Sunday, Hymn 69. 'What is the crying at Jordan?' was written in the 1950s by Carol Christopher Drake, a former member of St. Mark’s Choir. Carol also wrote the parish centennial hymn 'Gather us in, God make us One.' [Hymn 69] voices a response to John the Baptist’s 'crying in the wilderness,' of his demand that people change their lives in preparation for the coming of the Messiah. She wrote this text specifically for the present tune, St. Mark’s, Berkeley, which in her words 'evoked a sense of mystery and awe.' The tune’s first American use was in the children’s songbook 'Sing for Joy,' compiled and edited by Norman and Meg Mealy, who 'were attracted to it for its haunting and simple quality.' It came from a Gaelic collection, Dánta Dé (Dublin 1928). The tune had no name in Dánta Dé. A former beloved choirmaster of St. Mark’s, Norman named it for St. Mark’s, Berkeley, his home parish, where he served as choirmaster from 1948-1962. He also served as Professor of Church Music at the Church Divinity School of the Pacific - Episcopal (CDSP) here in Berkeley from 1952-1987 and at the Graduate Theological Union from 1976-1987. We thank Norman and Meg for this gift to the church here and at large." -- Thanks to George Emblom, director of music at St. Mark's Church in Berkeley for providing this information about the hymn. Carol Christopher Drake also contributed five other hymn texts to Sing for Joy, the children's hymnal by Norman & Margaret Mealy.
