When Our Confidence Is Shaken

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Life of Discipleship Faith and Hope; God's Church Life of Discipleship: Faith and Hope Lyrics: 1 When our confidence is shaken in beliefs we thought secure, when the spirit in its sickness seeks but cannot find a cure, God is active in the tensions of a faith not yet mature. 2 Solar systems, void of meaning, freeze the spirit into stone; always our researches lead us to the ultimate unknown. Faith must die, or come full circle to its source in God alone. 3 In the discipline of praying, when it's hardest to believe; in the drudgery of caring, when it's not enough to grieve; faith, maturing, learns acceptance of the insights we receive. 4 God is love, and thus redeems us in the Christ we crucify; this is God's eternal answer to the world's eternal why. May we in this faith maturing be content to live and die! Used With Tune: LAUDA ANIMA

Though I speak with angel tongues

Author: Ernest Lange Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: The Christian Faith, Hope, and Charity Lyrics: 1 Though I speak with angel tongues Bravest words of strength and fire, They are but as idle songs If no love my heart inspire; All the eloquence shall pass As the noise of sounding brass. 2 Though I lavish all I have, On the poor in charity, Though I shrink not from the grave, Or unmoved the stake can see, Till by love the work be crowned, All shall profitless be found. 3 Come, thou Spirit of pure love, Who didst forth from God proceed, Never from my heart remove; Let me all thy impulse heed, Let my heart henceforward be Moved, controlled, inspired by thee.
