Help Us Accept Each Other

Author: Fred Kaan, 1929-2009 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Ordinary Time, Twenty-Third Sunday A Lyrics: 1 Help us accept each other As Christ accepted us; Teach us as sister, brother, Each person to embrace. Be present, Lord, among us, And bring us to believe: We are ourselves accepted And meant to love and live. 2 Teach us, O Lord, your lessons, As in our daily life We struggle to be human And search for hope and faith. Teach us to care for people, For all, not just for some; To love them as we find them, Or as they may become. 3 Let your acceptance change us So that we may be moved In living situations To do the truth in love; To practice your acceptance Until we know by heart The table of forgiveness And laughter's healing art. 4 Lord, for today's encounters With all who are in need, Who hunger for acceptance, For justice, and for bread, We need new eyes for seeing, New hands for holding on: Renew us with your Spirit; Lord, free us, make us one!

Wise and righteous men and women dwell within its gleaming wall; wrong is banished from its borders, justice reigns supreme o'er all. 2 We are builders of that city. All our joys and all our groans help to rear its shining ramparts; all our lives are building stones. Whether humble or exalted, all are called to task divine; all must aid alike to carry forward one sublime design. 3 And the work that we have builded, oft with bleeding hands and tears, oft in error, and in anguish, will not perish with our years: it will live and shine transfigured in the final reign of right: it will merge into the splendors of the city of the light.

Let not your heart be troubled, His tender word I hear, And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubt and fear; Tho' by the path He leadeth But one step I may see: His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me. 3. Whenever I am tempted, Whenever clouds arise, When songs give place to sighing, When hope within me dies, I draw the closer to Him, From care he sets me free; His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me.

O Love, How Deep, How Broad, How High!

Author: Thomas à Kempis; Benjamin Webb Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 143 hymnals Topics: Ordinary Time Week 12 Lyrics: 1. O love, how deep, how broad, how high! It fills the heart with ecstasy, That God, the Son of God, should take Our mortal form for mortals' sake. 2. He sent no angel to our race Of higher or of lower place, But wore the robe of human frame Himself, and to this lost world came. 3. For us he was baptized, and bore His holy fast, and hungered sore; For us temptations sharp he knew; For us the tempter overthrew. 4. For us he prayed, for us he taught, For us his daily works he wrought, By words, by signs, and actions, thus Still seeking not himself, but us. 5. For us to wickedness betrayed, Scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed, He bore the shameful cross and death; For us at length gave up his breath. 6. For us he rose from death again, For us he went on high to reign, For us he sent his Spirit here To guide, to strengthen, and to cheer. 7. To him whose boundless love has won Salvation for us through his Son, To God the Father, glory be Both now and through eternity. Scripture: Ephesians 3:17-19 Used With Tune: AGINCOURT

When God's own people stand in need, His goodness will provide supplies; Thus when Elijah faints for bread, A raven to his comfort flies. 2. At God's command, with speedy wings, The hungry bird resigns it prey, And to the rev'rend prophet brings The needful portion day by day. 3. This method may be counted strange, But happy was Elijah's lot, For nature's course shall sooner change Than God's dear children be forgot. 4. This wonder has been oft renewed, And saints by sweet experience find Their evils overruled for good, Their foes to friendly deeds inclined. Scripture: 1 Kings 19:5-6 Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM

Be still, my soul! when dearest friends depart And all is darkened in the vale of tears, Then shall you better know his love, his heart, Who comes to soothe your sorrow and your fears. Be still, my soul! your Jesus can repay From his own fullness all he takes away. 4. Be still, my soul! the hour is hast'ning on When we shall be forever with the Lord, When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone, Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored. Be still my soul! when change and tears are past, All safe and blessed we shall meet at last. Scripture: Revelation 21:4 Used With Tune: FINLANDIA

Jesus Christ, my sure defense And my Savior, now is living! Knowing this, my confidence Rests upon the hope he's giving, Though the night of death be fraught Still with many an anxious thought. 2. Jesus, my Redeemer lives; Likewise I to life shall waken. He will bring me where he is; Shall my courage then be shaken? Shall I fear, or could the Head Rise and leave his members dead? 3. No, too closely I am bound By my hope to Christ forever; Faith's strong hand the Rock has found, Grasped it, and will leave it never; Even death now cannot part From its Lord the trusting heart. 4. I am flesh and must return To the dust, whence I am taken; But by faith I now discern How from death I shall awaken With my Savior to abide In his glory, at his side. 5. Glorified, I shall anew With this flesh then be enshrouded; In this body I shall view God, my Lord, with eyes unclouded; In this flesh I then shall see Jesus Christ eternally. 6. Then take comfort and rejoice, For his members Christ shall cherish. Fear not, they will hear his voice; Dying, they will never perish; For the very grave is stirred When the trumpet's blast is heard. Scripture: Job 19:25-26 Used With Tune: JESUS MEINE ZUVERSICHT
