Let Hope and Sorrow Now Unite

Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #639 (1995) Meter: 8.7.87.8.8.7 Topics: Life of Discipleship Death and Eternal Life; God's Church Life of Discipleship: Death and Eternal Life Lyrics: 1 Let hope and sorrow now unite to consecrate life's ending, and praise good friends now gone from sight, though grief and loss are rending. The story in a well-loved face the years and days our thoughts retrace, are treasures worth defending. 2 With faith, or doubt, or open mind we whisper life's great question. The ebb and flow of space and time surpass our small perception. Yet knowledge grows with joyful gains and finds out wonders far more strange than hopes of resurrection. 3 Be glad for life, in age or youth; its worth is past conceiving. And stand by justice, love, and truth as patterns for believing. Give thanks for all each person gives - as faith comes true, and Jesus lives, there'll be an end to grieving.

God Is for Us

Author: Joseph Gelineau Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #640 (1995) Topics: Life of Discipleship Death and Eternal Life; God's Church Life of Discipleship: Death and Eternal Life First Line: Strong is God's love for us Lyrics: [Response:] Strong is God's love for us, Alleluia. R We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to God's purpose. What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us? God, who did not withhold God's own Son, but gave him up for all of us-- will God not also give us all things with him? Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
