I have been asked a few times lately to make my introductory collection of congregational hymns and songs of Faith, Beauty and Science available electronically.
A set of JPEGS follow which printed out will make up a 12 page A5 booklet to browse. All the hymns/songs can be sung to the tunes suggested which will be familiar to many fellowships and congregations. The topics covered in these 11 are
As Mighty Glaciers Recede - Climate change & Christian stewardship.
Be Still Small Earth - The cosmic signs attending Jesus’ birth.
Beyond The Farthest - DNA & moral understandings.
Cosmic Doxology - The present-now and cosmic Christ.
Does the God who Lived a Human - Injustice, false news, lies in our corridors of power. NB. The booklet pages suggest using the tune to Through The Night of Doubt and Sorrow. It is the 8.7.8.7 tune called ‘Marching’.
For Amazement by Beauty - Thanksgiving for our brain and our senses.
Give Thanks to God for Human Brains - Brains, Evolution, Age-related brain potential, medical research.
Let The Cosmos Praise its Maker - From the immense to the subatomic, Creation, Salvation.
Make us Good Stewards, Lord - Fossil fuels, plastics, possessions, injustice, the plight of the poor.
Stars and Planets Sing Your Story - The Cosmos, astronomy, the Incarnation, Redemption.
The Glorious Stars of Night’s Dark Sky - Astronomy, The Big bang, Creation. as God’s gift, Evolution, our fall and redemption
Further hymns, songs and meditations can be found at A COLLECTION OF POEMS CELEBRATING THE RICHNESS OF BEAUTY, SCIENCE AND FAITH
