How Lovely, Lord, How Lovely
Author: Arlo D. Duba Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #333 (1990) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 How lovely, Lord, how lovely
is your abiding place,
my soul is longing, fainting,
to feast upon your grace.
The sparrow finds a shelter,
a place to build her nest;
and so your temple calls us
within its walls to rest.
2 In your blest courts to worship,
O God, a single day
is better than a thousand
if I from you should stray.
I'd rather keep the entrance
and claim you as my Lord
than revel in the riches
The ways of sin afford.
3 A sun and shield forever
are you, O Lord Most High;
you shower us with blessings;
no good will you deny.
The saints, your grace receiving,
from strength to strength shall go,
and from their life shall rivers
of blessing overflow. Topics: Church Worship; God Goodness; God Providence; God Redeemer; Physical Hunger; Opening Hymns; Psalms Scripture: Psalm 84 Languages: English Tune Title: MERLE'S TUNE

We Wait the Peaceful Kingdom
Author: Kathleen R. Moore Hymnal: Glory to God #378 (2013) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 We wait the peaceful kingdom,
when wolf and lamb shall lie
in gentleness and friendship
without a fear or sigh,
when lion shall be grazing,
when snake shall never strike;
a little child shall lead us
both strong and weak alike.
2 Where is the peaceful kingdom?
When will this new day start?
We long for peace and comfort
to reign within each heart.
Yet not in our lives only,
nor simply in our home:
we pray that all creation
will one day find shalom.
3 When wars of desolation
and hate come to an end,
when nation meets with nation
and calls the other "friend,"
still peace in all its fullness
will only have begun:
shalom for all creation
begins with justice done.
4 That little child shall lead us
to walk the chosen way,
to share the peaceful kingdom,
to greet God's newborn day.
The child born in a stable
is sent to break our chains,
to bring through word and table
the day when justice reigns. Topics: Animals; The Life of the Nations; A New Heaven and a New Earth; Personal Peace; World Peace; Reconciliation Scripture: Isaiah 2:2-4 Languages: English Tune Title: MERLE’S TUNE

Blessed Be the God of Israel
Author: Michael Perry, 1942-1996 Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #396 (2013) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Blessed be the God of Israel
who comes to set us free,
who visits and redeems us,
who grants us liberty.
The prophets spoke of mercy,
of freedom and release,
God shall fulfill the promise
and bring the people peace.
2 God from the house of David
a child of grace is given;
a Savior comes among us
to raise us up to heaven.
Before him goes the herald,
forerunner in the way,
the prophet of salvation,
the harbinger of day.
3 On those who sit in darkness
the sun begins to rise,
the dawning of forgiveness
upon the sinner’s eyes,
God guides the feet of pilgrims
along the paths of peace.
O bless our God and Savior
with songs that never cease! Topics: Advent; Celebration; Darkness; Freedom; God Eternal; Jesus Christ Redeemer; Jesus Christ Savior; Peace; Pilgrimage; Salvation; Sin Scripture: Luke 1:5-23 Languages: English Tune Title: MERLE'S TUNE

When Jesus Came to Jordan
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: Worship (4th ed.) #456 (2011) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 When Jesus came to Jordan
To be baptized by John,
He did not come for pardon,
But as the Sinless One.
He came to share repentance
With all who mourn their sins,
To speak the vital sentence
With which good news begins.
2 He came to share temptation,
Our utmost woe and loss,
For us and our salvation
To die upon the cross.
So when the Dove descended
On him, the Son of Man,
The hidden years had ended,
The age of grace began.
3 Come, Holy Spirit, aid us
To keep the vows we make;
This very day invade us,
And ev'ry bondage break.
Come, give our lives direction,
The gift we covet most:
To share the resurrection
That leads to Pentecost. Topics: Baptism of the Lord Languages: English Tune Title: MERLE'S TUNE
