We Turn To You

Author: Fred Kaan Hymnal: Voices United #685 (1996) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: The Church in the World Commitment: Peace and Justice First Line: We turn to you, O God of every nation Lyrics: 1 We turn to you, O God of every nation, giver of good and origin of life; your love is at the heart of all creation, your hurt is people's pain in war and death. 2 We turn to you that we may be forgiven for crucifying Christ on earth again. We know that we have never wholly striven to share with all the promise of your reign. 3 Free every heart from haughty self-reliance, our ways of thought inspire with simple grace; break down among us barriers of defiance, speak to the soul of all the human race. 4 On all who rise on earth for right relations, we pray the light of love from hour to hour. Grant wisdom to the leaders of the nations, the gift of carefulness to those in power. 5 Teach us, good Lord, to serve the need of others, help us to give and not to count the cost. Unite us all to live as sisters, brothers, defeat our Babel with your Pentecost! Fred Kaan (1929-2009) © 1967, 1991, 1997 Stainer & Bell Ltd 11 10 11 10 Used By Permission.

For the Healing of the Nations

Author: Fred Kaan Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #685 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Peace and Justice Lyrics: 1 For the healing of the nations, Lord, we pray with one accord; for a just and equal sharing of the things that earth affords. To a life of love in action help us rise and pledge our word. 2 Lead us, Father, into freedom, from despair your world release; that, redeemed from war and hatred, all may come and go in peace. Show us how through care and goodness fear will die and hope increase. 3 All that kills abundant living, let it from the earth be banned; pride of status, race or schooling, dogmas that obscure your plan. In our common quest for justice may we hallow life's brief span. 4 You, Creator God, have written your great name on humankind; for our growing in your likeness bring the life of Christ to mind, that by our response and service earth its destiny may find.

God of Grace and God of Glory

Author: Harry Emerson Fosdick Hymnal: Voices United #686 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: The Church in the World Commitment: Peace and Justice Lyrics: 1 God of grace and God of glory, on your people pour your power; now fulfil your church’s story; bring its bud to glorious flower. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, for the facing of this hour. 2 Lo, the hosts of evil round us scorn your Christ, assail your ways; fears and doubts too long have bound us; free our hearts to work and praise. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, for the living of these days. 3 Cure your children’s warring madness, bend our pride to your control; shame our wanton selfish gladness, rich in goods and poor in soul. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, lest we miss your kingdom's goal. 4 Set our feet on lofty places; gird our lives that they may be armoured with all Christ-like graces, pledged to set all captives free. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, that we fail not them nor thee. Languages: English Tune Title: RHUDDLAN

Glory! Hallelujah! Lyrics: 1 Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord; He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword; His truth is marching on. Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! lory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on. 2 I have seen him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps; They have builded him an altar in the evening dews and damps; I can read the righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps; His day is marching on. Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! lory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on. 3 He has sounded forth his trumpet that shall never call retreat; He is sifting out all human hearts before his judgment seat; O be swift, my soul, to answer him: be jubilant, my feet! Our God is marching on. Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! lory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on. 4 In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me; As he died to make men holy, let us die that all be free! While God is marching on. Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! lory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.

When Will People Cease Their Fighting?

Author: Constance Cherry Hymnal: Voices United #687 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Church in the World Commitment: Peace and Justice Lyrics: 1 When will people cease their fighting? When will armies wage no war, nations conquer not their neighbour, weapons idle, used no more? When will guns and bombs be silent? When will captives be set free? All creation groans in longing for the world's true liberty. 2 Floods and earthquakes, drought and famine plague the world with awesome ill, but far greater is war's horror caused by human, stubborn will. Blest are those who, working, praying, purpose in their hearts to be instruments of peace, committed to the nations' harmony. 3 As we strive for peace with vigour, hoping to be shown the way, we are strengthened in the knowledge of a future, perfect day; for we know that deeper, richer peace is ours when Christ shall reign: then will all our swords be plowshares and God's children free from pain.
