This is God’s Wondrous World

This is God’s Wondrous World
This is God’s wondrous world,
And to my listening ears
All nature sings,
and round me rings
The music of the spheres.

This is God’s wondrous world.
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas,
God’s hand the wonders wrought.

This is God’s wondrous world,
The birds their carols raise;
The morning light, the lily white,
Declare their Maker’s praise.

This is God’s wondrous world;
God shines in all that’s fair;
In the rustling grass or mountain pass,
God’s voice speaks everywhere.

This is God’s wondrous world,
O let me ne’er forget
That though the wrong
Seems oft so strong,
God is the Ruler yet.

This is God’s wondrous world,
Why should my heart be sad?
Let voices sing, let heavens ring:
God reigns, let earth be glad!

Growing our Faith

It’s the chorus of all creation;
It’s sung by all living things.
It’s the chorus of all creation;
A song the universe sings,

All: In a world where nothing comes of
nothing and every action has an equal
and opposite reaction we’re struck at
once with the certainty that there must
have been a cause; a reason for
everything that underpins our universe
and answers the question of who we
are and where we came from.

And so we ask you, God, in the stillness of
this moment, to come amongst us and
incline our ears to the song of your
Creation; a Creation which ceaselessly
sings of the law of love which rules it – and
of the love its Creator bore it – that made it
so. Amen.
