Father, Creator, of Heaven and the Cosmos.

Father, Creator, of  Heaven and the Cosmos.

(could be sung to opening bars of Handel’s Lascia ch’io pianga)

Father, Creator,

Of Heaven and the Cosmos

we give you praise and thank you

for life and all its gifts

Jesus, Redeemer,

you came to save us:

through your resurrection

we never need fear death.

Spirit, who comforts,

strengthens, inspires us,

keep us ever faithful

and clothed in righteousness.

(Optional Communion verse)

Bread from the wheatfield,

with wine from the vineyard:

these are your grace-filled symbols

that bind us in your love.

The nature of the Creator God of the first two lines of this song is further explores in 'I Imagine The God Who Created the Cosmos'
