God Is Here
In 1978, as part of the Festival of Worship, a new hymn was commissioned from renowned hymnwriter Fred Pratt Green. That hymn, "God Is Here," has since been published in many languages and in many different hymnals, including The United Methodist Hymnal, The Presbyterian Hymnal, Christian Worship: A Lutheran Hymnal, A New Hymnal for Colleges and Schools, among many others.
Former Director of Music Russell Schulz-Widmar, commenting on "God Is Here," said, "Certainly in the area of church music at UUMC, commissioning that hymn is one of the most important things we've done."

Famous quotes containing the word god:
“The god of this great vast, rebuke these surges,
Which wash both heaven and hell; and thou that hast
Upon the winds command, bind them in brass,
Having called them from the deep! O, still
Thy deaf’ning dreadful thunders, gently quench
Thy nimble sulphurous flashes!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
