Community of Christ
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #655 (1995) Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Topics: God's World Justice and Righteousness Lyrics: 1 Community of Christ,
who make the cross your own,
live out your creed and risk your life
for God alone:
the God who wears your face,
to whom all worlds belong,
whose children are of every race
and every song.
2 Community of Christ,
look past the church's door
and see the refugee, the hungry,
and the poor.
Take hands with the oppressed,
the jobless in your street,
take towel and water, that you wash
your neighbor's feet.
3 Community of Christ,
through whom the word must sound --
cry out for justice and for peace
the whole world round:
disarm the powers that war
and all that can destroy,
turn bombs to bread, and tears of anguish
into joy.
4 When menace melts away,
so shall God's will be done,
the climate of the world be peace
and Christ its sun;
our currency be love
and kindliness our law,
our food and faith be shared as one
for evermore. Languages: English Tune Title: LEONI
Community of Christ

Now join we, to praise the creator
Author: Fred Kaan (b. 1929) Hymnal: New Church Praise #71 (1975) Topics: World and Society World Development Lyrics: 1 Now join we, to praise the creator,
our voices in worship and song;
we stand to recall with thanksgiving
that to him all seasons belong.
2 We thank you, O God, for your goodness,
for the joy and abundance of crops,
for food that is stored in our larders,
for all we can buy in the shops.
3 But also of need and starvation
we sing with concern and despair--
of skills that are used for destruction,
of land that is burnt and laid bare.
4 We cry for the plight of the hungry
while harvests are left on the field,
for orchards neglected and wasting,
for produce from markets withheld.
5 The song grows in depth and in wideness:
the earth and its people are one.
There can be no thanks without giving,
no words without deeds that are done.
6 Then teach us, O Lord of the harvest,
to be humble in all that we claim;
to share what we have with the nations,
to care for the world in your name. Languages: English Tune Title: HARVEST
Now join we, to praise the creator
No Number Tallies Nature Up
Author: Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1803-1882 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #79 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder The World of Nature Lyrics: 1 No number tallies nature up,
no tribe its house can fill;
it is the shining fount of life
and pours the deluge still.
And gathers by its fragile powers
along the centuries
from race on race the rarest flowers,
its wreath shall nothing miss.
2 It writes the past in characters
of rock and fire and scroll,
the building in the coral sea,
the planting of the coal.
And thefts from satellites and rings
and broken stars it drew,
and out of spent and aged things
it formed the world anew.
3 Must time and tide forever run,
nor winds sleep in the west?
Will never wheels which whirl the sun
and satellites have rest?
Yet whirl the glowing wheels once more,
and mix the bowl again;
seethe, Fate, the ancient elements,
heat, cold, and peace, and pain.
4 Blend war and trade and creeds
and song, let ripen race on race,
the sunburnt world that we shall breed
of all the countless days.
No ray is dimmed, no atom worn,
the oldest force is new,
and fresh the rose on yonder thorn
gives back the heavens in dew. Languages: English Tune Title: RESIGNATION
No Number Tallies Nature Up

Now Thank We All Our God
Author: Martin Rinckart; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: With Heart and Voice #122 (1989) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Topics: The Church in the World Lyrics: 1 Now thank we all our God
with heart and hands and voices,
who wondrous things has done,
in whom his world rejoices;
who from our mothers' arms
has blessed us on our way
with countless gifts of love,
and still is ours today.
2 O may this bounteous God
through all our life be near us,
with ever joyful hearts
and blessed peace to cheer us,
to keep us in his grace,
and guide us when perplexed,
and free us from all ills
of this world in the next.
3 All praise and thanks to God
the Father now be given,
the Son and Spirit blest,
who reign in highest heaven
the one eternal God,
whom heaven and earth adore;
for thus it was, is now,
and shall be evermore.

your face lights up our way;
Light of the world; Mary's child,
dawn on our darkened day.

prove it is true, Mary's child,
go to your cross of wood.

King of the earth, Mary's child,
walk in our streets again. Languages: English Tune Title: MARY'S CHILD

Wait and see, wait and see
what a world there can be
if we share, if we care, you and me.
Wait and see, wait and see
what a world there can be
if we share, if we care, you and me.

to make a bright tomorrow,
and our vision remains in our hearts.
Now the torch must be passed
with new hope, not in sorrow,
and a promise to make a new start. [Refrain]
