O Lover of creation
Words: The Revd Mother Carrie Thompson
Tune: Newlands by Don Gillthorpe
1. O Lover of creation,
You paint the skies above:
Your rainbow brightly gleaming,
The promise of your love.
When clouds of doubt surround us,
O grant us grace to see
The beauty all around us,
The hope that sets us free.
2. You made us in your image,
You claim us for your own.
In all our diverse richness
Your majesty is known.
When fear and sin divide us,
O shine on us, we pray;
Restore in us your likeness,
Renew in us your way.
3. O Triune God, transform us,
That we may truly be
A rainbow of your radiance
For all the world to see;
A mirror of your glory
In all we say and do;
A people ever living
In love and faith for you.
Recorded in Morland Church by the Morland Choristers' Camp, 2021 (first-half course)
