Isaiah the Prophet Has Written of Old

Author: Joy F. Patterson Hymnal: Voices United #680 (1996) Meter: 11.8.11.8 D Topics: The Church in the World Commitment: Peace and Justice; Commitment Lyrics: 1 Isaiah the prophet has written of old how God's new creation shall come, instead of the thorn tree the fir tree shall grow; the wolf shall lie down with the lamb. The mountains and hills shall break forth into song, the peoples be led forth in peace, for the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of God as the waters cover the sea. 2 Yet nations still prey on the meek of the world, and conflict turns parent from child. Your people despoil all the sweetness of earth; the brier and the thorn tree grow wild. God, bring to fruition your will for the earth, that no one shall hurt or destroy, when wisdom and justice shall reign in the land and your people shall go forth in joy.

Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life

Author: Frank Mason North Hymnal: Voices United #681 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Church in the World Commitment: Peace and Justice; Commitment Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life, where sound the cries of race and clan, above the noise of selfish strife, we hear your voice of life again. 2 In haunts of wretchedness and need, on shadowed thresholds, dark with fears, from paths where hide the lures of greed, we catch the vision of your tears. 3 The cup of water given for you still holds the freshness of your grace; yet long these multitudes to view the strong compassion of your face. 4 O Master, from the mountainside make haste to heal these hearts of pain; among these restless throngs abide, and tread the city's streets again, 5 till all the world shall learn your love and follow where your feet have trod, till glorious from your heaven above shall come the city of our God.

May swords of hate fall from our hands, our hearts from envy find release, till by God's grace our warring world shall see Christ's promised reign of peace. 2 Then shall the wolf dwell with the lamb, nor shall the fierce devour the small; as beasts and cattle calmly graze, a little child shall lead them all. Then enemies shall learn to love, all creatures find their true accord; the hope of peace shall be fulfilled, for all the earth shall know the Lord. Languages: English Tune Title: JERUSALEM

We Turn To You

Author: Fred Kaan Hymnal: Voices United #685 (1996) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: The Church in the World Commitment: Peace and Justice; Commitment First Line: We turn to you, O God of every nation Lyrics: 1 We turn to you, O God of every nation, giver of good and origin of life; your love is at the heart of all creation, your hurt is people's pain in war and death. 2 We turn to you that we may be forgiven for crucifying Christ on earth again. We know that we have never wholly striven to share with all the promise of your reign. 3 Free every heart from haughty self-reliance, our ways of thought inspire with simple grace; break down among us barriers of defiance, speak to the soul of all the human race. 4 On all who rise on earth for right relations, we pray the light of love from hour to hour. Grant wisdom to the leaders of the nations, the gift of carefulness to those in power. 5 Teach us, good Lord, to serve the need of others, help us to give and not to count the cost. Unite us all to live as sisters, brothers, defeat our Babel with your Pentecost! Fred Kaan (1929-2009) © 1967, 1991, 1997 Stainer & Bell Ltd 11 10 11 10 Used By Permission.

God of Grace and God of Glory

Author: Harry Emerson Fosdick Hymnal: Voices United #686 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: The Church in the World Commitment: Peace and Justice; Commitment Lyrics: 1 God of grace and God of glory, on your people pour your power; now fulfil your church’s story; bring its bud to glorious flower. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, for the facing of this hour. 2 Lo, the hosts of evil round us scorn your Christ, assail your ways; fears and doubts too long have bound us; free our hearts to work and praise. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, for the living of these days. 3 Cure your children’s warring madness, bend our pride to your control; shame our wanton selfish gladness, rich in goods and poor in soul. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, lest we miss your kingdom's goal. 4 Set our feet on lofty places; gird our lives that they may be armoured with all Christ-like graces, pledged to set all captives free. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, that we fail not them nor thee. Languages: English Tune Title: RHUDDLAN
