Hymn: Diversity

Behold the varied colours in the sky
within the forms of clouds see golds and greys.
Each day they change before the gazing eye;
from dawn to dusk they constantly amaze.
	Evolving through the spangled universe
	our God of love creates them so diverse.

Above the atmosphere the heavens display
a host of stars and planets, comets too;
a spread of constellations in array
where distant galaxies are born anew.
	Evolving through the spangled universe
	our God of love creates them so diverse.

Around us spreads the natural world of plants;	
some creatures hidden, some with colours bright,
as through the changing seasons they enhance
a range of habitats for our delight.
	Evolving through the spangled universe
	our God of love creates them so diverse.

We too are creatures in God's image made
of varied colour, race, ethnicities.
Let's live in harmony and unafraid
to fête our different personalities.
	Evolving through the spangled universe
	our God of love creates us so diverse.

Dear God of many attributes we learn
from what our Saviour Jesus taught and showed.
In reaching out to those whom many spurn
he drew them to your fold, a blessed abode.
	With them we seek the joys of paradise
	where all are held within the love of Christ.

Tune: 10 10. 10 10. 10 10, Sibelius, Finlandia
