This thread (http://www.barbelith.com/underground/topic.php?id=9572) was
begun by a board poster named 'grant', who says

"I know I've seen the hymn in a hymnal at a very odd little church on
Lincoln Road in Miami Beach (it's hard to describe just how odd it is that
there's a church there at all - it's as if they transplanted a miniature
Spanish Mission into a largely-gay international shopping mall)... I can't
remember if it had music or not, but I may have to drive the hour and a
half to find out. "

The Hymn in Question?

#90 God of Concrete
[Frederick R.C. Clarke and Richard Granville Jones]
[from The Hymn Book of the Anglican Church of Canada and the United Church
of Canada (1971 edition)]

God of concrete, God of steel,
God of piston and of wheel,
God of pylon, God of steam,
God of girder and of beam,
God of atom, God of mine:
all the world of power is thine.

Lord of cable, Lord of rail,
Lord of freeway and of mail,
Lord of rocket and of flight,
Lord of soaring satellite,
Lord of lightning's flashing line:
all the world of speed is thine.

Lord of science, Lord of art,
Lord of map and graph and chart,
Lord of physics and research,
Word of Bible, Faith of church,
Lord of sequence and design:
all the world of truth is thine.

God whose glory fills the earth,
gave the universe its birth,
loosed the Christ with Easter's might,
saves the world from evil's blight,
claims us all by grace divine:
all the world of love is thine.
