Eternal God, Whose Power Upholds

1Eternal God, whose power upholds
Both flower and flaming star,
To whom there is no here nor there,
No time, no near nor far,
No alien race, no foreign shore,
No child unsought, unknown:

2O God of truth, whom science seeks
And reverent souls adore,
In speech that flows to melody,
In holiness of art,
In speech that flows to melody,
In holiness of art,

3O God of beauty, oft revealed
In dreams of human art,
In speech that flows to melody,
In holiness of heart;
Teach us to ban all ugliness
That blinds our eyes to Thee:

4O God of righteousness and grace,
Seen in the Christ, Your Son,
Whose life and death reveal Your face,
By whom Your will was done:
Help us to spread Your gracious reign
Till greed and hate shall cease;
