The Church of Christ in Every Age

Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 30 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 4:13 First Line: The Church of Christ in ev'ry age Lyrics: 1 The Church of Christ in ev'ry age Beset by change but Spirit led, Must claim and test its heritage And keep on rising from the dead. 2 Across the world, across the street, The victims of injustice cry For shelter and for bread to eat, And never live until they die. 3 Then let the servant Church arise, A caring Church that longs to be A partner in Christ's sacrifice, And clothed in Christ's humanity. 4 For he alone, whose blood was shed, Can cure the fever in our blood, And teach us how to share our bread And feed the starving multitude. 5 We have no mission but to serve In full obedience to our Lord: To care for all, without reserve, And spread his liberating Word.

God, my loving Savior, sends them; He who knows All my woes Knows how best to end them. 3 God gives me my days of gladness, And I will Trust Him still When He send me sadness.

When Aimless Violence Takes Those We Love

Author: Joy F. Patterson, b. 1931 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 4:12-14 Lyrics: 1 When aimless violence takes those we love, When random death strikes childhood's promise down, When wrenching loss becomes our daily bread, We know, O God, You leave us not alone. 2 When passing years rob sight and strength and mind Yet fail to still a strongly beating heart, And grief becomes the fabric of our days, Dear Lord, You do not stand from us apart. 3 Our faith may flicker low, and hope grow dim, Yet You, O God, are with us in our pain; You grieve with us and for us day by day, And with us, sharing sorrow, will remain. 4 Because Your Son knew agony and loss, Felt desolation, grief and scorn and shame, We know You will be with us, come what may, Your loving presence near, always the same. 5 Through long grief-darkened days help us, dear Lord, To trust Your grace for courage to endure, To rest our souls in Your supporting love, And find our hope within Your mercy sure.
