Hymn inspired by the 1 Timothy. Suitable, perhaps, for harvest or creation season worship or reflection.
A song of creation inspired by 1 Timothy
Star strewn garments clothe the heavens,
robes of beauty, source of awe;
Spirit God transcending hist’ry,
way beyond where pulsars soar.
Mountains rise up from the valleys,
folded like a gathered cloak
seas and rivers, great sierra,
lofty cedar, ageing oak.
God beyond our understanding,
God of wisdom, Lord of days;
God of miracle and wonder,
You deserve our life-long praise!
Metre: 8 7 8 7
Tune: STUTTGART
