Now Praise the Hidden God of Love

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now praise the hidden God of love, in whom we all must live and move, who shepherds us at ev'ry stage, through youth, maturity, and age: 2 Who challenged us, when we were young, to storm the citadels of wrong; in care for others taught us how God's true community must grow: 3 Who bids us never lose our zest, Though age is urging us to rest, But proves to us that we have still a work to do, a place to fill.

O God of Light, May Our Light Shine

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: O God of light, may our light shine In ways that serve and honor you. May we be loving, just and kind, Proclaiming Christ in all we do. God, where your people are oppressed And where they cry out in despair, Make us your light—to heal, to bless— A witness, Lord, that you are there. Christ, when your way is pushed aside By those who trust in wealth and might, Make us your lamps that we may guide A searching world to your love’s light. O Spirit, in this world of doubt, We often sin and drift away. When our own faith is flickering out, Shine on our path and light our way.
