What Adam's Disobedience Cost
Author: Fred Pratt Green; Carol Bechtel Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #34 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Genesis 6:1-8 Lyrics: 1 What Adam’s disobedience cost,
let Holy Scripture say:
ourselves estranged, an Eden lost,
and then a judgment day: each day a judgment day.
2 An ark of mercy rode the flood,
but we, where waters swirled,
rebuilt, impatient of the good,
another fallen world: an unrepentant world.
3 A little child is Adam’s heir,
is Adam’s hope and Lord,
sing joyful carols everywhere,
that Eden is restored: in Jesus is restored.
4 Regained is Adam’s blessedness:
the angels sheathe their swords;
in joyful carols all confess
the kingdom is the Lord’s: the glory is the Lord’s!
5 Renewed, restored we look ahead
to glimpse that glorious day
when in the new Jerusalem
all griefs will pass away. “Amen. Hallelujah!” Topics: Biblical Names and Places Eden; Church Year Christmas; Fall and the Human Condition; God's Judgment; Jesus Christ King Languages: English Tune Title: DETROIT

Immortal Love for ever full
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-1892 Hymnal: Common Praise #475 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Genesis 6:9 Lyrics: 1 Immortal Love for ever full,
for ever flowing free,
for ever shared, for ever whole,
a never-ebbing sea.
2 Our outward lips confess the name
all other names above;
love only knoweth whence it came
and comprehendeth love.
3 We may not climb the heavenly steeps
to bring the Lord Christ down;
in vain we search the lowest deeps,
for him no depths can drown:
4 But warm, sweet, tender, even yet
a present help is he;
and faith has still its Olivet,
and love its Galilee.
*5 The healing of his seamless dress
is by our beds of pain;
we touch him in life's throng and press,
and we are whole again.
*6 Through him the first fond prayers are said
our lips of childhood frame;
the last low whispers of our dead
are burdened with his name.
7 Alone, O Love ineffable,
thy saving name is given;
to turn aside from thee is hell,
to walk with thee is heaven. Topics: Lent II Year A; Proper 5 Year A; Healing Languages: English Tune Title: BISHOPTHORPE
Immortal Love for ever full
O for a closer walk with God
Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Hymnal: Common Praise #532 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Genesis 6:9 Lyrics: 1 O for a closer walk with God,
a calm and heavenly frame;
a light to shine upon the road
that leads me to the Lamb!
2 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed,
how sweet their memory still!
But they have left an aching void
the world can never fill.
3 Return, O holy Dove, return,
sweet messenger of rest:
I hate the sins that made thee mourn
and drove thee from my breast.
4 The dearest idol I have known,
whate'er that idol be,
help me to tear it from thy throne
and worship only thee.
5 So shall my walk be close with God,
calm and serene my frame;
so purer light shall mark the road
that leads me to the Lamb. Topics: Lent I Year B; Lent Languages: English Tune Title: CAITHNESS

He Comes to Us As One Unknown
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (1926-); Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #456 (1998) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Scripture: Genesis 6:9-22 Lyrics: 1 He comes to us as one unknown,
a breath unseen, unheard;
as though within a heart of stone,
or shriveled seed in darkness sown,
a pulse of being stirred.
2 He comes when souls in silence lie
and thoughts of day depart,
half-seen upon the inward eye,
a falling star across the sky
of night within the heart.
3 He comes to us in sound of seas,
the ocean's fume and foam;
yet small and still upon the breeze,
a wind that stirs the tops of trees,
a voice to call us home.
4 He comes in love as once he came
by flesh and blood and birth;
to bear within our mortal frame
a life, a death, a saving name
for every child of earth.
5 He comes in truth when faith is grown;
believed, obeyed, adored:
the Christ in all the Scriptures shown,
as yet unseen, but not unknown,
our Saviour and our Lord. Topics: Call and Vocation; Advent; Easter (third Sunday); Salvation/Redemption Languages: English Tune Title: LOBT GOTT, IHR CHRISTEN

For Your Wise, Creating Spirit
Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Hymnal: Faith That Lets Us Sing #30 (2017) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: Genesis 6:5-7 First Line: For your wise, creating Spirit, Lyrics: 1 For your wise, creating Spirit,
blessing us in countless ways,
and your Living Word of mercy,
God, we offer you our praise.
From the waters of creation,
you brought forth a fertile land,
peopled it with men and women
meant to live by your command.
2 When in Noah’s time, we faltered,
you, with mercy and with love,
flooded us with tears of sorrow,
sent a rainbow and a dove.
And when we were slaves in Egypt,
each one longing to be free,
you led Moses on a pathway
through the waters of the sea.
3 When we wandered in the desert,
you showed us a flowing spring,
quenched our thirst and fed us manna,
though we doubted everything.
When, at last, we saw the Jordan.
and beyond, the Promised Land,
Joshua helped us cross the river,
guided by your faithful hand.
4 When our people walked in darkness,
you sent Light into our gloom:
Jesus, nurtured in the waters
of his mother Mary’s womb.
He was baptized in the Jordan,
he turned water into wine,
washed the feet of his disciples,
all his deeds a holy sign.
5 At the font now, God, we gather
as the friends of Jesus do,
to baptize your child beloved,
into life begun anew.
By your Spirit bless this water,
bless this child that we now name,
bless the people who are present.
May we all your love proclaim.

My Spirit shall not always strive
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #168 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Genesis 6:3 First Line: Say, sinner, hath a voice within Lyrics: 1 Say, sinner, hath a voice within
Oft whisper'd to thy secret soul,
Urg'd thee to leave the ways of sin,
And yield thy heart to God’s control?
2 Hath something met thee in the path
Of worldliness and vanity,
And pointed to the coming wrath,
And warn'd thee from that wrath to flee?
3 Sinner, it was a heavenly voice,--
It was the Spirit’s gracious call;
It bade thee make the better choice,
And haste to seek in Christ thine all.
4 Spurn not the call to life and light;
Regard in time the warning kind;
That call thou may'st not always slight,
And yet the gate of mercy find.
5 God’s Spirit will not always strive
With harden'd, self-destroying man;
Ye, who persist his love to grieve,
May never hear his voice again.
6 Sinner--perhaps this very day,
Thy last accepted time may be;
Oh, should'st thou grieve him now away,
Then hope may never beam on thee. Topics: Holy Spirit Gospel Call Languages: English

Author: Charles Wesley 1707-1788 Hymnal: Common Praise #430 (2000) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Genesis 6:9 Lyrics: 1 Forth in thy name, O Lord, I go,
my daily labour to pursue;
thee, only thee, resolved to know,
in all I think or speak or do.
2 The task thy wisdom hath assigned
O let me cheerfully fulfil;
in all my works thy presence find,
and prove thy good and perfect will.
3 Preserve me from my calling's snare,
and hide my simple heart above,
above the thorns of choking care,
the gilded baits of worldly love.
4 Thee may I set at my right hand,
whose eyes my inmost substance see,
and labour on at thy command,
and offer all my works to thee.
5 Give me to bear your easy yoke,
and every moment watch and pray,
and still to things eternal look,
and hasten to thy glorious day;
6 For thee delightfully employ
whate’er thy bounteous grace hath given,
and run my course with even joy,
and closely walk with thee to heaven. Topics: Epiphany III Year C; Third Sunday Before Lent Year B Languages: English Tune Title: SONG 34 (ANGELS' SONG)

All Mankind Fell in Adam's Fall
Author: Lazarus Spengler, 1479-1534; Matthias Loy, 1828-1915 Hymnal: Christian Worship #556 (2021) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Genesis 6:5 Lyrics: 1 All mankind fell in Adam's fall;
one common sin infects us all.
From one to all the curse descends,
and over all God's wrath impends.
2 Through all our pow'rs corruption creeps
and us in dreadful bondage keeps;
in guilt we draw our infant breath
and reap its fruits of woe and death.
3 From hearts depraved, to evil prone,
flow thoughts and deeds of sin alone;
God's image lost, the darkened soul
nor seeks nor finds its heav'nly goal.
4 But Christ, the second Adam, came
to bear our sin and woe and shame,
to be our life, our light, our way,
our only hope, our only stay.
5 As by one man all mankind fell
and, born in sin, was doomed to hell,
so by one Man, who took our place,
we all were justified by grace.
6 We thank you, Christ; new life is ours,
new light, new hope, new strength, new pow'rs.
This grace our ev'ry way attend
until we reach our journey's end.
