"He remembers Calvary"

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #210 (1888) Topics: Christ Compassion of First Line: How condescending and how kind Lyrics: 1 How condescending and how kind Was God's eternal Son! Our misery reached his heavenly mind, And pity brought him down. 2 He sunk beneath our heavy woes, To raise us to his throne; There's ne'er a gift his hand bestows, But costs his heart a groan. 3 This was compassion, like a God, That when the Saviour knew The price of pardon was his blood, His pity ne'er withdrew. 4 Now, though he reigns exalted high, His love is still as great; Well he remembers Calvary, Nor let his saints forget.

We seek in freedom space and scope for dreaming, and look for ground where trees and plants can grow. [Refrain] 3 But there are walls that keep us all divided; we fence each other in with hate and war. Fear is the bricks and mortar of our prison, our pride of self the prison coat we wear. [Refrain] 4 O judge us, God, and in your judgment free us, and set our feet in freedom's open space; take us as far as your compassion wanders among the children of the human race.

Gentle God, When We Are Driven

Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #222 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: Compassion Lyrics: 1 Gentle God, when we are driven past the limits of our love, when our hurt would have a weapon and the hawk destroy the dove, at the cost of seeming weak, help us turn the other cheek. 2 Gentle Spirit, when our reason clouds in anger, twists in fear, when we strike instead of stroking, when we bruise and sting and smear, cool our burning, take our pain, bring us to ourselves again. 3 In the mirror of earth’s madness let us see our ravaged face, in the turmoil of all people let compassion find a place, touch our hearts to make amends, see our enemies as friends. 4 Let our strength be in forgiving as forgiven we must be, one to one in costly loving, finding trust and growing free, gentle God, be our release, gentle Spirit, teach us peace.
