Here are some fairly recent songs and hymns drawing on scientific themes that we think you might like. I expect we missed some good ones, so please let us know any suggestions!

• Stars and planets sing your glory, Trevor Thorn (to the tune of Joyful Joyful).
• Doxecology: 13 new songs on themes of creation, ecology & Christian hope, Resound Worship
• Climate Vigil Songs, The Porters Gate
• So Will I (100 Billion X), Hillsong Worship
• God of Science, Rend Co. Kids.

There are also some contemporary worship songs which include the odd science-y word (especially ‘galaxy’!). For example:

• God of Wonders Beyond our Galaxy, Steve Hindalong & Marc Byrd (most famously covered by Chris Tomlin)
• Magnificent, Matt Redman (who wrote an astronomy devotional book with Louis Giglio)
• Shine, Matt Redman
• We could try to count the stars, Paul Baloche et al. 2018, Gloworks Ltd

And some older hymns have interesting science-y words:

• Praise the Source of Faith and Learning, Thomas Troeger
• God who spoke in the beginning, Fred Kaan
• God who stretched the spangled heavens, Catherine Cameron
• Creating God, your fingers trace, J Rowthorne
• O Lord of every shining constellation, A F Bayly
