The play of the Godhead, the Trinity’s dance,
Embraces the earth in a sacred romance,
With God the Creator, and Christ the true Son,
Entwined with the Spirit, a web daily spun
In spangles of myst’ry, the great Three-in-One.
The warm mist of summer, cool waters that flow,
Turn crystal as ice when the wintry winds blow.
The taproot that nurtures, the shoot growing free,
The life-giving fruit, full and ripe on the tree:
More mystic and wondrous, the great One-in-Three.
In God’s gracious image of co-equal parts,
We gather as dancers, uniting our hearts.
In tune with the music of all living things,
We join in the round of bright nature that rings
With rapture and rhythm: Creation now sings!

Includes Wide Format PowerPoint file!
Updated Format! Beginning in November of 2016, we changed the way we formatted our PowerPoint files. The font is larger and the staff lines are bolder, making the songs easier to read from a greater distance, including smaller screens/monitors in the rear of the sanctuary.
All songs digitized previous to that date are in the "older" format.
