How Shallow Former Shadows
Author: Carl P. Daw Jr. Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: How shallow former shadows seem Lyrics: 1 How shallow former shadows seem beside this great reverse,
as darkness swallows up the light of all the universe.
Creation shivers at the shock, the temple rends its veil.
A pallid stillness stifles time and nature's motions fail.
2 This is no midday fantasy, no flight of fevered brain.
With vengeance awful, grim, and real, chaos is come again.
The hands that formed us from the soil are nailed upon the cross.
The Word that gave us life and breath expires in utter loss.
3 Yet deep within this darkness lives a Love so fierce and free,
that arcs all voids and—risk supreme!—embraces agony.
Its perfect testament is etched in iron, blood, and wood.
With awe we glimpse its true import, and dare to call it good. Topics: God Love of Scripture: Matthew 27:45-54 Used With Tune: THIRD MODE MELODY Text Sources: A Year of Grace

Our cities cry to you, O God
Author: Margaret Clarkson, 1915- Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our cities cry to you, O God,
from out their pain and strife;
you made us for yourself alone,
but we choose alien life.
Our goals are pleasure, gold and power;
injustice stalks our earth;
in vain we seek for rest, for joy,
for sense of human worth.
2 Yet still you walk our streets, O Christ!
We know your presence here
where humble Christians love and serve
in godly grace and fear.
O Word made flesh, be seen in us!
May all we say and do
affirm you God Incarnate still
and turn sad hearts to you!
3 Your people are your hands and feet
to serve your world today,
our lives the book our cities read
to help them find your way.
O pour your sovereign Spirit out
on heart and will and brain:
inspire your church with love and power
to ease our cities’ pain!
4 O healing Saviour, Prince of Peace,
salvation’s source and sum,
for you our broken cities cry:
Oh come, Lord Jesus, come!
With truth your royal diadem,
with righteousness your rod,
oh come, Lord Jesus, bring to earth
the city of our God! Topics: Church Body of Christ; City / City of God; Jesus Christ Redeemer and Savior; Jesus Christ Prince of Peace; One Life in Christ Justice; Repentance; Righteousness; Servant / Service Scripture: John 1:14 Used With Tune: THE THIRD TUNE
Our cities cry to you, O God
