Psalm 143

Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Oh, hear my prayer, Lord Lyrics: 1 Oh, hear my prayer, Lord, be open to my plea, with justice and with faithfulness please answer me. My spirit shrivels up, my heart numbs with despair, in awe of your great deeds I raise my earnest prayer. 2 I thirst for your response, thirst like the desert lands; entreating you, my God, I lift my outstretched hands. Lord, quickly make reply and do not hide your face, or else my spirit faints from lack of your embrace. 3 Because I trust in you and offer you my prayer, let me, when morning comes, discern your loving care. My heart is set on you; this earnest plea I make, that you will show the road my life is meant to take.

Another Son is Killed

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: Another son is killed, Another daughter dies, And loving, waiting homes are filled With loved ones’ cries. As rivers never sleep, So wars flow on and on. Hang up your harps, sit down and weep For those now gone! We grieve for children lost, For hearts too sad to pray; We mourn, O Lord, the growing cost Of hatred’s way. And sure as threats increase And anger turns to war, We pray that we may find a peace Worth struggling for. We know your way, O Lord, For all your people here: A plowshare from a fighting sword, A transformed spear! Now comfort those who grieve, Be in each saddened home, And by your grace may we believe— And seek Shalom. Topics: Justice; Lament; Peacemaking Scripture: Isaiah 2:4 Used With Tune: LEONI

Your praise on infant lips will prove a potent shield against the slander of your foes or lies they wield. 2 Amid the daunting heav'ns, the works your hands have made: the countless stars, the moon the leads their bright parade, why do mere mortals rate your notice or your care? How can it matter in your sight that we are there? 3 Yet you have given us such near-angelic pow'rs and trusted to our wayward care this world of ours: things tiny to immense, all creatures, wild and tame. O God, our sov'reign God, we praise your glorious name!

God's Holy Spirit Came

Author: Mary Jackson Cathey; Michael Denham Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: God's Holy Spirit came with rushing wind and fire Lyrics: God's Holy Spirit came with rushing wind and fire, Christ's presence here to comfort, bless and to inspire. The Spirit thus began God's holy work on earth at Pentecost, a gift that gave the Church its birth. God sent the Spirit forth fulfilling prophets' word, to those who followed Jesus and who called him Lord. Disciples gathered near the temple courts in prayer. The Spirit blew and rested on those clustered there. God's Spirit filled each one as Jesus had foretold. In many tongues they spoke God's word, renewed and bold. "Repent and be baptized," preached Peter in that hour, and thousands came believing by the Spirit's power. God's church alive today continues to proclaim salvation by the Spirit's power in Jesus' name. Let all believers now their tongues and lives employ. Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, our highest joy! Used With Tune: LEONI
