Behold a Broken World
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #426 (1989) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Peace, World 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.

Vanity of the world
Author: Dr. S. Stennett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCXCIX (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The World; Vanity of the World First Line: In vain the giddy world inquires Lyrics: 1 In vain the giddy world inquires,
Forgetful of their God,
"Who will supply our vast desire,
"Or shew us any good?"
2 Thro' the wide circuit of the earth
Their eager wishes rove,
In chace of honor, wealth, and mirth,
The phantoms of their love.
3 But oft these shadowy joys elude
Their most intense pursuit;
Or if they seize the fancied good,
There's poison in the fruit.
4 Lord, from this world call off my love,
Set my affections right:
Bid me aspire to joys above,
And walk no more by sight.
5 O let the glories of thy face
Upon my bosom shine:
Assur'd of thy forgiving grace,
My joys will be divine.
Scripture: Psalm 4:6 Languages: English
