The Church of Christ in Every Age
Author: Fred Pratt Green, b. 1903 Hymnal: RitualSong #803 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Poverty First Line: The church of Christ in ev'ry age Lyrics: 1 The Church of Christ in ev'ry age
Beset by change but Spirit led,
Must claim and test its heritage
And keep on rising from the dead.
2 Across the world, across the street,
The victims of injustice cry
For shelter and for bread to eat,
And never live until they die.
3 Then let the servant Church arise,
A caring Church that longs to be
A partner in Christ's sacrifice,
And clothed in Christ's humanity.
4 For he alone, whose blood was shed,
Can cure the fever in our blood,
And teach us how to share our bread
And feed the starving multitude.
5 We have no mission but to serve
In full obedience to our Lord:
To care for all, without reserve,
And spread his liberating Word. Scripture: Ephesians 1:18-19 Languages: English Tune Title: DUNEDIN

Here Am I
Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Hymnal: Gather (3rd ed.) #804 (2011) Meter: 3.7.6.5.3.7.6.5.3 Topics: Poverty Lyrics: 1 Here am I,
where underneath the bridges
of our winter cities
homeless people sleep.
Here am I,
where in decaying houses
little children shiver,
crying at the cold.
Where are you?
2 Here am I,
with people in the line-up,
anxious for a handout,
aching for a job.
Here am I,
where pensioners and strikers
sing and march together,
wanting something new.
Where are you?
3 Here am I,
where two or three are gathered,
ready to be altered,
sharing wine and bread.
Here am I,
where those who hear the preaching
change their way of living,
find the way to life.
Where are you? Languages: English Tune Title: STANISLAUS

Now Join We to Praise the Creator
Author: Fred Kaan, b. 1929 Hymnal: RitualSong #827 (1996) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Topics: Poverty Lyrics: 1 Now join we to praise the creator,
Our voices in worship and song;
We stand to recall with thanksgiving
That to God 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. Scripture: 1 John 4:20-21 Languages: English Tune Title: HARVEST
Now Join We to Praise the Creator
