Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Looking for hymn set to 'Ode to Joy'
I'm looking for the lyrics that go something like this:

"God our maker, mighty father, all creation sings your praise;
Sun and stars in all their splendor, moon in every changing phase;
Earth with all its trees and grasses, sparkling rivers, oceans blue;
All unite to pay you homage singing joyously to you."

Other bits of it go something like this:

"Man and woman you created that united heart and home
They might live and strive together in the building of your world"

"First born of your vast creation leasing all in unity
Leading all in power and wisdom to a glorious destiny."

There's a "Provident and wise creator" somewhere in it as well.
Please can anyone here help me?
