That earth will survive and faith must not fail.
We pray with our life for the world in our care,
for people diminished by doubt and despair.
2 We cry from the fright of our daily scene
for strength to say "no" to all that is mean:
designs bearing chaos, extinction of life,
all energy wasted on weapons of death.
3 We lift up our hearts for children unborn:
give wisdom, O God, that we may hand on,
replenished and tended, this good planet earth,
preserving the future and wonder of birth. Languages: English Tune Title: UPPSALA

unarmed shall live as comrades free;
in every mind and heart shall throb
the pulse of one humanity.

or by great poets half-divined,
shall burn a steadfast star within
the calm, clear spirit of the mind.

and mightier music thrill the skies,
and every life a song shall be
when all the earth is paradise. Languages: English Tune Title: TRURO

Not in Vain the Distance Beacons
Author: Alfred Lord Tennyson, 1809-1892 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #143 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Words and Deeds of Prophetic Women and Men In Time To Come Lyrics: 1 Not in vain the distance beacons.
Forward, forward let us range.
Let the great world spin forever
down the ringing grooves of change;
through the shadow of the globe
we sweep ahead to heights sublime,
we, the heirs of all the ages,
in the foremost files of time.
2 Oh, we see the crescent promise
of that spirit has not set;
ancient founts of inspiration
well through all our fancies yet;
and we doubt not through the ages
one increasing purpose runs,
and the thoughts of all are widened
with the process of the suns.
3 Yea, we dip into the future,
far as human eye can see,
see the vision of the world,
and all the wonder that shall be,
hear the war-drum throb no longer,
see the battle flags all furled,
in the parliament of freedom,
federation of the world. Languages: English Tune Title: HYMN TO JOY

Author: Jane Laurie Borthwick, 1813-1897 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #144 (1993) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Words and Deeds of Prophetic Women and Men In Time To Come Lyrics: 1 Now is the time approaching,
by prophets long foretold,
when all shall dwell together,
secure and manifold.
Let war be learned no longer,
let strife and tumult cease,
all earth a blessed garden
and God the god of peace.
2 Let all that now divides us
remove and pass away,
like shadows of the morning
before the blaze of day.
Let all that now unites us
more sweet and lasting prove,
a closer bond of union,
in a blessed land of love.
3 O long-expected dawning,
come with your cheering ray!
Yet shall the promise beckon
and lead us not astray.
O sweet anticipation!
It cheers the watchers on
to pray, and hope, and labor,
till all our work is done.

and flow as one to seek the sea,
our kindred hearts and minds unite
to build a church that shall be 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.
4 Prophetic church, the future waits
your liberating ministry;
go forward in the power of love,
proclaim the truth that makes us free. Languages: English Tune Title: WINCHESTER NEW

to make a bright tomorrow,
and our vision remains in our hearts.
Now the torch must be passed
with new hope, not in sorrow,
and a promise to make a new start. [Refrain]
