All Whose Boast It Is

Author: James Russell Lowell, 1819-1891 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #150 (1993) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D First Line: All whose boast it is that we Lyrics: 1 All whose boast it is that we come of forebears brave and free, if there breathe on earth a slave, are we truly free and brave? If we do not feel the chain when it works another’s pain, are we not base slaves indeed, slaves unwilling to be freed? 2 Is true freedom but to break fetters for our own dear sake, and with leathern hearts forget we owe humankind a debt? No, true freedom is to share all the chains that others wear, and, with heart and hand, to be earnest to make others free. 3 They are slaves who fear to speak for the fallen and the weak; they are slaves who will not choose hatred, scoffing, and abuse, rather than in silence shrink from the truth they needs must think. They are slaves who dare not be in the right with two or three.

All Baptized Beneath the Cloud

Author: Christopher Idle Hymnal: Singing the New Testament #152 (2008) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 All baptized beneath the cloud, all baptized through surging waves; all sustained by heaven's bread, living streams from God who saves. Yet so many meet their end, live for pleasure, lose the path; few will see God's holy land, many fall beneath his wrath. 2 And is Israel's story ours? Doomed are all who think they stand, if we worship this world's powers, scorn the riches from God's hand. What a past to leave behind, what a future lies ahead! Welcome, all who seek and find Jesus, risen from the dead!

[Refrain] 3 Hail the heaven born Prince of Peace! Hail the Sun of Righteousness! Light and life to all he brings, risen with healing in his wings. Mild he lays his glory by, born that we no more may die, born to raise us from the earth, born to give us second birth. [Refrain] Topics: Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: MENDELSSOHN

Sing of God Made Manifest

Author: Carl P. Daw Jr. Hymnal: Glory to God #156 (2013) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 Sing of God made manifest in a child robust and blest, to whose home in Bethlehem where a star had guided them, magi came and gifts unbound, signs mysterious and profound: myrrh and frankincense and gold grave and God and king foretold. 2 Sing of God made manifest when at Jordan John confessed, “I should be baptized by you, but your bidding I will do.” Then from heaven a double sign – dove-like Spirit, voice divine – hailed the true Anointed One: “This is my beloved Son.” 3 Sing of God made manifest when Christ came as wedding guest and at Cana gave a sign, turning water into wine; further still was love revealed as he taught, forgave, and healed, bringing light and life to all who would listen to God’s call. 4 Sing of God made manifest on the cloud-capped mountain’s crest, where the law and prophets waned so that Christ alone remained: glimpse of glory, pledge of grace, given as Jesus set his face towards the waiting cross and grave, sign of hope that God would save.
