The Church of Christ, in every age

Author: F. Pratt Green (b. 1903) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 31 hymnals Topics: World and Society Justice and Peace Lyrics: 1 The Church of Christ, in every age beset by change but Spirit-led, must claim and test her heritage and keep on rising from the dead. 2 She has no mission but to serve, in proud obedience to her Lord; to care for all, without reserve, to spread his liberating word. 3 Across a world, across the street, the victims of injustice cry for shelter and for bread to eat, and never live before they die. 4 And all men suffer deeper ills: for there's a fever in our blood that prostitutes our human skills and poisons all our brotherhood. 5 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. 6 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.

Tomorrow Christ is coming

Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Peace (World) Lyrics: 1 Tomorrow Christ is coming as yesterday he came; a child is born this moment, we do not know its name. The world is full of darkness, again there is no room; the symbols of existence are stable, cross and tomb. 2 Tomorrow will be Christmas, the feast of love divine, but for the nameless millions the star will never shine. Still is the census taken with people on the move; new infants born in stables are crying out for love. 3 There will be no tomorrows for many a baby born; Good Friday falls on Christmas when life is sown as corn. But Jesus Christ is risen and comes again in bread to still our deepest hunger and raise us from the dead. 4 Our God becomes incarnate in every human birth. Created in God's image, we must make peace on earth. God will fulfil Love's purpose and this shall be the sign: e shall find Christ among us as woman, child, or man. Used With Tune: LITTLE BADDOW
