When Christ was lifted from the earth
Author: Brian A. Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Christian Responsibility Lyrics: 1 When Christ was lifted from the earth,
his arms stretched out above
through every culture, every birth,
to draw an answering love.
2 Still east and west his love extends
and always, near or far,
he calls and claims us as his friends
and loves us as we are.
3 Where generation, class, or race
divide us to our shame,
he sees not labels but a face,
a person, and a name.
4 Thus freely loved, though fully known,
may I in Christ be free
to welcome and accept his own
as Christ accepted me. Used With Tune: ST. BOTOLPH

as worship moved us to a more profound
Alleluia!
3 So has the Church, in liturgy and song,
in faith and love, through centuries of wrong,
borne witness to the truth in every tongue:
Alleluia!

when utmost evil strove against the Light?
Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight:
Alleluia!

Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise!
And may God give us faith to sing always:
Alleluia! Scripture: 1 Chronicles 16:42 Used With Tune: ENGELBERG

God, who stretched the spangled heavens
Author: Catherine Cameron, b. 1927 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 47 hymnals Topics: Christian Responsibility Lyrics: 1 God, who stretched the spangled heavens
infinite in time and place,
flung the suns in burning radiance
through the silent fields of space:
we, your children in your likeness,
share inventive powers with you;
Great Creator, still creating,
show us what we yet may do.
2 Proudly rise our modern cities,
stately buildings, row on row;
yet their windows, blank, unfeeling,
stare on canyoned streets below,
where the lonely drift unnoticed
in the city's ebb and flow,
lost to purpose and to meaning,
scarcely caring where they go.
3 We have ventured worlds undreamed of
since the childhood of our race;
known the ecstasy of winging
through untraveled realms of space;
probed the secrets of the atom,
yielding unimagined power,
facing us with life's destruction
or our most triumphant hour.
4 As each far horizon beckons,
may it challenge us anew,
children of creative purpose,
serving others, honoring you.
May our dreams prove rich with promise,
each endeavor well begun:
Great Creator, give us guidance
till our goals and yours are one. Used With Tune: HOLY MANNA
God, who stretched the spangled heavens

"Come unto me and rest;
lay down, O weary one, lay down
your head upon my breast."
I came to Jesus as I was,
weary and worn and sad;
I found in him a resting-place,
and he has made me glad.
2 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Behold, I freely give
the living water; thirsty one,
stoop down, and drink, and live."
I came to Jesus, and I drank
of that life-giving stream;
my thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
and now I live in him.
3 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"I am this dark world's light;
look unto me, your morn shall rise;
and all your day be bright."
I looked to Jesus, and I found
in him my star, my sun;
and in that light of life I'll walk
till travelling days are done. Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD
