That this Thy world is incomplete;
That battle calls our marshalled ranks,
That work awaits our hands and feet;
2. That Thou hast not yet finished man,
That we are in the making still,
As friends who share the Maker's plan,
As sons who know the Father's will.
3. Beyond the present sin and shame,
Wrong's bitter, cruel, scorching blight,
We see the beckoning vision flame,
The blessed kingdom of the right.
4. Since what we choose is what we are,
And what we love we yet shall be,
The goal may ever shine afar;
The will to win it makes us free.

Psalm 92; Genesis 1:1-2; Psalm 104:24-30

Brian Wren is known for his work in modern hymnody, and his hymns often focus on themes of social justice, inclusive language, and a personal relationship with God. "Creator God, We Give You Thanks" is a prayerful and celebratory hymn that praises God as the Creator and expresses gratitude for life and creation.
