Behold a Broken World
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 2:1-4 Lyrics: 1 Behold a broken world, we pray,
where want and war increase,
and grant us, Lord, in this our day,
the ancient dream of peace:
2 A dream of swords to sickles bent,
of spears to scythe and spade,
the weapons of our warfare spent,
a world of peace remade;
3 Where every battle flag is furled
and every trumpet stilled,
where wars shall cease in all the world,
a waking dream fulfilled.
4 No force of arms shall there prevail
nor justice cease its sway;
nor shall their loftiest visions fail
the dreamers of the day.
5 O Prince of Peace, who died to save,
a lost world to redeem,
and rose in triumph from the grave,
behold our waking dream.
6 Bring, Lord, your better world to birth,
your kingdom, love's domain,
where peace with God, and peace on earth,
and peace eternal reign.

The glorious Reign of CHRIST
Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 2:2-5 First Line: In latter days Jehovah's mount Lyrics: 1 In latter days JEHOVAH's mount,
His sacred house shall rise
Above the mountains and the hills,
and strike the wond'ring eyes.
To this the joyful nations round,
all tribes and tongues shall flow:
3 'Up to JEHOVAH's mount, they'll say
'to Jacob's God we'll go.
'To us He'll point his ways of truth:
'his sacred path's we'll tread:
'From Salem and from Zion shall
'Jehovah's law proceed.'
4 Among the nations and the isles
as Judge supreme He'll sit;
And vested with unbounded pow'r,
will punish or acquit.
No strife shall rage, no angry feuds
disturb those peaceful years:
To plowshares then they'll beat their swords,
to pruning hooks their spears.
No nation against nation rise,
and slaughter'd hosts deplore:
They'll lay the martial trumpet by,
and study war no more.
5 O come ye then, of Jacob's house,
our hearts now let us join;
And walking in JEHOVAH'S light,
with holy beauties shine.
The glorious Reign of CHRIST
Lord, What is All Our Fighting For?
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 2:4 Lyrics: Lord, what is all our fighting for?
We train our young to go to war.
A young girl sees the terror spread
As soldiers shoot her parents dead.
Lord, what is our acceptance for?
We tolerate what you abhor.
Each day more little ones are lost;
May we seek truth and count war’s cost.
What can we for repentance bring?
You do not want an offering.
“Do what is just,” you simply say;
“Love what is kind and seek my way.”
Lord, what is all our silence for?
Now make us bold to say, “No more!”
The world need not be what it’s been;
Your peace will reign! Your love will win! Topics: Justice; Lament; Peacemaking Used With Tune: O WALY WALY

Long by the prophets of Israel foretold;
Hail to the millions from bondage returning;
Gentile and Jew the blest vision behold.

Streams ever copious are gliding along;
Loud from the mountain-tops echoes are ringing,
Wastes rise in verdure, and mingle in song.

Praise to Jehovah ascending on high;
Fallen are the engines of war and commotion,
Shouts of salvation are rending the sky. Topics: Church Missions of; Church Work of Used With Tune: WESLEY
