For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties

And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.

A thoroughfare for freedom beat

Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law.

Till all success be nobleness,
And ev'ry gain divine.

Thine alabaster cities gleam,
Undimmed by human tears!

Prophetic Church, the Future Waits
Author: Marion Franklin Ham, 1867-1956 Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #362 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Liberation Lyrics: 1 Prophetic church, the future waits
your liberating ministry;
go forward in the pow'r of love,
proclaim the truth that makes us free;
2 Free from the bonds that bind the mind
to narrow thought and lifeless creed;
free from a social code that fails
to serve the cause of human need;
3 A freedom that reveres the past,
but trusts the dawning future more;
and bids the soul, in search of truth,
adventure boldly and explore.

The church of Christ, in every age
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #486 (1997) Topics: Freedom / Liberation Lyrics: 1 The church of Christ in every age,
beset by change but Spirit-led,
must claim and test its heritage
and keep on rising from the dead.
2 Across the world, across the street,
the victims of injustice cry
for shelter and for bread to eat,
and never live until they die.
3 Then let the servant church arise,
a caring church that longs to be
a partner in Christ's sacrifice,
and clothed in Christ's humanity.
4 For he alone, whose blood was shed,
can cure the fever in our blood,
and teach us how to share our bread
and feed the starving multitude.
5 We have no mission but to serve
in full obedience to our Lord,
to care for all, without reserve,
and spread his liberating Word.

my neighbor rises, wakened from despair,
open my heart to hear the cry of justice

and find my freedom at the mark of nails. Scripture: Romans 13:8-14 Languages: English Tune Title: BENJAMIN
