God at his creating sings by Barbara Rosen — Lyrics
1. God at His creating sings.
Order to the void He brings.
Sun and moon and sea and clod
Lift up their voices and sing with God.
2. Singing, singing still He goes,
Making mice and buffaloes.
Flowers springing from the sod
Lift up their voices and sing with God.
3. Slaves in Egypt, full of doubt,
Safely follow Moses out.

The text uses the powerful metaphor of singing to describe God's action in creation, a theme that continues through human history and into the future. It invites the congregation to join in this divine song. Suitable for general occasions or services focusing on creation or divine providence, this anthem is accessible for all choirs. The simple yet profound English text offers a message of hope and connection to the divine through shared experience and belief.
