[Gen 9:13] Prayer For Creation
O, Creator of the cosmos, we present our hearts in prayer.
We are awestruck by your glory, which surrounds us everywhere.
From the birdsong of the morning to a stormy sky at night,
You reveal yourself in Nature, in its gentleness and might.Through each rainbow that you send us you renew your covenant
With the earth and all life on it, telling us of your intent
That each living thing should flourish, in its own way, in its place.
You call us to new awareness of our neighbors and their space.In our eagerness to prosper, we have ravaged what was good.
Using more than what was needed, taking everything we could.
We have changed the gentle order you intended for the earth.
Now we humbly ask the wisdom to be part of its re-birth.We seek mercy, we seek vision, and the courage we will need
As we work to help the victims of the sins of human greed.
By our choices, in our actions, may we be part of your plans.
Help us gently till the Garden you’ve entrusted to our hands.Finding strength in common purpose, may your faithful people be
Voices for a new perspective, leaders in simplicity.
Give us guidance, O, Creator. Give us power to achieve
True compassion for Creation as the legacy we leave.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Gen 9:13] They’ll Soon Be O’er
There is a calm for ev’ry storm
We meet from day to day,
A hallowed peace that dwells within,
And smiles the clouds away.
The star of hope still brightly shines,
Though wild the breakers roar,
And in its beams the words we trace,
Life’s dream will soon be o’er.There is a Friend, a constant Friend,
Who slumbers not nor sleeps,
But safe within His tender care
The trusting soul He keeps;
His bow of love still spans the sky,
And points to yonder shore,
While on its beams the words we trace,
Life’s cares will soon be o’er.There is a morn when we shall wake
At home beyond the tide,
And in our Savior’s likeness then
We shall be satisfied;
O hearts that yearn and bleed and break
For joys that come no more,
Look up and read the blessèd words,
Life’s tears will soon be o’er.Play source: Cyberhymnal

[Gen 1:1] Creator Of The Earth And Sky
Creator of the earth and sky,
Ruling the firmament on high,
Clothing the day with robes of light,
Blessing with gracious sleep the night.That rest may comfort weary men,
And brace to useful toil again,
And soothe awhile the harassed mind,
And sorrow’s heavy load unbind.Day sinks; we thank Thee for Thy gift;
Night comes; and once again we lift
Our prayer and vows and hymns that we
Against all ills may shielded be.Thee let the secret heart acclaim,
Thee let our tuneful voices name,
Round Thee our chaste affections cling
Thee sober reason own as King.That when black darkness closes day,
And shadows thicken round our way,
Faith may no darkness know, and night
From faith’s clear beam may borrow light.Rest not, my heaven born mind and will;
Rest, all the thoughts and deeds of ill;
May faith its watch unwearied keep,
And cool the dreaming warmth of sleep.From cheats of sense, Lord, keep me free;
And let my heart’s depth dream of Thee;
Let not my envious foe draw near,
To break my rest with any fear.Pray we the Father and the Son,

Eternal God, mover unmoved,
Your frightful power was greatly proved
When you made all from naught.
You formed man in your image bright.
You spared our parents no delight
And all your world was good and right
While your just will man sought.A foe more ancient than the earth,
Who reached for your high place of worth,
Then launched his fatal plan.
And though your law was only one,
Eve took and ate, and having done,
Bade Adam eat, and in that one
All died, and so fell man.Our foe was pleased, but could not tell
Your plan of grace for man who fell,
Nor measure your design.
For so to point to future grace,
You set apart a holy race
Through faith in what would soon take place,
Though veiled with law and sign.You willed for slaughtered lambs to show
The way in which your Lamb would go
When ransoming his own.
For though in one man, mankind fell,
This second Adam conquered Hell,
And rising, conquered death as well,
Then reassumed His throne.Thus while your children war below
With flesh and with our ancient foe,
Our victory is sure.
For you will come with trump and light,
And end what’s left of Satan’s might,
And take us home for your delight,
Eternally secure.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

The midnight watch we keep.We need not fear, though all around

The multitude of waters surge;
For Thou, O God, art near.The calm, the breeze, the gale, the storm,
That pass from land to land,
All, all are Thine, are held within
The hollow of Thy hand.If duty calls from threatened strife
To guard our native shore,
And shot and shell are answering
The booming cannon’s roar,Be Thou the Mainguard of our host,
Till war and dangers cease;
Defend the right, put up the sword,
And through the world make peace.Across this troubled tide of life
Thyself our Pilot be,
Until we reach that better land,
The land that knows no sea.To Thee the Father, Thee the Son,
Whom earth and sky adore,
And Spirit moving on the deep,
Be praise forevermore.Play source: Cyberhymnal
