Let all creation dance

Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let all creation dance in energies sublime, as order turns with chance, unfolding space and time; for nature's art in glory grows, and newly shows God's mind and heart. 2 God's breath each force unfurls, igniting from a spark expanding starry swirls, with whirlpools dense and dark. Though moon and sun seem mindless things, each orbit sings: 'your will be done.' 3 Our own amazing earth, with sunlight, cloud and storms, and life's abundant growth in lovely shapes and forms is made for praise, a fragile whole, and from its soul heaven's music plays. 4 Lift heart and soul and voice: in Christ all praises meet, and nature shall rejoice as all is made complete. In hope be strong, all life befriend, and kindly tend creation's song.

Hills of the North, Rejoice

Author: Charles Oakley, 1832-1865 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 53 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Hills of the North, rejoice; River and mountain spring, Hark to the advent voice; Valley and lowland, sing; Though absent long, your Lord is nigh; He judgment brings and victory. 2. Isles of the southern seas, Deep in your coral caves Pent be each warring breeze, Lulled be your restless waves: He comes to reign with boundless sway, And makes your wastes His great highway. 3. Lands of the East, awake, Soon shall your sons be free; The sleep of ages break, And rise to liberty. On your far hills, long cold and gray, Has dawned the everlasting day. 4. Shores of the utmost West, Ye that have waited long, Unvisited, unblest, Break forth to swelling song; High raise the note, that Jesus died, Yet lives and reigns, the Crucified. 5. Shout, while ye journey home; Songs be in every mouth; Lo, from the North we come, From East, and West, and South. City of God, the bond are free, We come to live and reign in thee!
