There's a voice in the wilderness crying

Author: James Lewis Milligan, 1876-1961 Meter: Irregular Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Nations Lyrics: 1 There’s a voice in the wilderness crying, a call from the ways untrod: prepare in the desert a highway, a highway for our God! The valleys shall be exalted, the lofty hills brought low; make straight all the crooked places where the Lord our God may go! 2 O Zion, that bringest good tidings, go up to the heights and sing! Proclaim to a desolate people the coming of their King. Like the flowers of the field they perish, like grass our works decay, the power and pomp of nations shall pass like a dream away, 3 but the Word of our God is steadfast; the arm of our God is strong; God stands in the midst of the nations, and soon will right the wrong. God shall feed his flock like a shepherd, the lambs will gently hold, to pastures of peace shall lead them, and bring them safe to his fold. Scripture: Isaiah 40:1-11 Used With Tune: ASCENSION

We Wait the Peaceful Kingdom

Author: Kathleen R. Moore Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: The Life of the Nations 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. Scripture: Isaiah 2:2-4 Used With Tune: MERLE’S TUNE

We Will Tell Each Generation

Author: Michael Perry; Martin Tel Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Occasional Services Civic / National Occasions Lyrics: 1 We will tell each generation all that you, our God, have done; how you called and led your people, chose us out to be your own. 2 Tell the time of our rebelling-- how we wandered from your way, how your law our love compelling taught us humbly to obey. 3 Tell how once, when spite and terror threatened to engulf our land, you defended us with vigor, saved us by a mighty hand. 4 Tell the grace that falls from heaven, angels' food as faith's reward; tell how sins may be forgiven through the mercy of the Lord. 5 We will tell each generation all that you, our God, have done. As a shepherd you have led us; by your hand still lead your own. Scripture: Psalm 78 Used With Tune: ARISE (RESTORATION)
