Lord, What is All Our Fighting For?

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals 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!

Where rest but on your faithful word? None ever called on you in vain; Give peace, O God, give peace again! 4 Where saints and angels dwell above, All hearts are knit in holy love; O bind us in that heav'nly chain; Give peace, O God, give peace again!

The happy sunshine all is gone

Author: Nicolaus Herman; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The happy sunshine all is gone, The gloomy night comes swiftly on; But shine Thou still, O Christ our Light, That we walk not in error's night. 2 We thank Thee, Father, that this day Thy angels watched around our way, And free from harm and vexing fear Thy grace has kept, and brought us here. 3 We own that we have angered Thee, Do Thou forgive us graciously, Unto our soul impute it not, And bless with peaceful sleep our cot. 4 Thy angels guard our sleeping hours, And keep afar all evil powers; From terrors, fire, and every harm, This night protect us by Thy arm.

God, Bless the Poet's Heart and Hand

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: God bless the poet's heart and hand, creating songs of faith and praise Lyrics: God, bless the poet’s heart and hand, creating songs of faith and praise; Yet may each writer understand our words cannot contain your ways. God, bless the ones who boldly dare to let the scriptures be their guide; Yet may no one of us declare that you are always on our side. God, bless the ones who teach and learn, who seek the truth by which to live; Yet show us: Knowledge cannot earn the love that only you can give. God, bless the ones who daily lead your churches, cities, nations, too; Yet may these leaders humbly see their need to serve and follow you. In Christ we daily live and grow; your Spirit guides us by your grace. A mirrored image now we know; yet one day we’ll see face to face.
