Do Not Turn Away the Children

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Songs of Grace #23 (2009) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: "Do not turn away the children Lyrics: “Do not turn away the children. Let them come to me instead, For to them belongs the kingdom. Make them welcome!” Christ, you said. As we hear your words of blessing That you spoke when they drew near, Can we hear your love addressing Needs of children we see here? Do not turn your back on children Hungry, hunted in Darfur;* Give them justice, food and welcome, Make their homes and lives secure. Don’t neglect the world of children Who have AIDS and HIV, For to them belongs the kingdom. Give them health care that they need. Do not tell the nation’s children, “Schools are what we can’t afford!” Give them all good education; Teach them well, both rich and poor. Do not hurry past the children Longing for your love this day; For to them belongs the kingdom; Give them time, don’t turn away. Do not miss the faith of children Who have questions deep inside, For to them belongs the kingdom; Wonder with them, be their guide. Jesus, as we hear your blessing For those ones you welcomed in, May our deeds reflect your caring As we welcome them again! *Alternative wording, “Who know violence, pain and war.” Topics: Children and Youth; Justice Scripture: Luke 18:15-17 Languages: English Tune Title: BEACH SPRING

Listen, sisters! Listen, Brothers!

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Songs of Grace #30 (2009) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: Listen, sisters! Listen, brothers! To the news that we proclaim; Spread the word and tell your neighbors: We have life in Jesus’ name. All because God loves us dearly, Jesus died for all our sin. On the third day, God showed clearly: Love has conquered, death can’t win. What could be our proclamation If our Lord had not been raised, For without his resurrection, What could give hope to our days? But in fact, our Christ is living— First to live, of those who’ve died; For as all are lost through Adam, So in Christ, we’re made alive. What is sown will surely perish; What is raised will still endure. What is sown is sown in weakness; What is raised will die no more. Flesh and blood cannot inherit That great kingdom God will bring. God will change us—never fear it! Death, defeated, has no sting. Topics: Funeral/Witness to the Resurrection; Life in Christ Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15 Languages: English Tune Title: BEACH SPRING

Give us gladness from above. 3 Holy Spirit, bring your message; burn and breathe each word anew deep into our tired living till we strive your work to do. Teach us love and trusting kindness; bare our arms to those who hurt; breathe upon your congregation and inspire us with your Word.
