For the Healing of the Nations

Author: Fred Kaan Hymnal: Voices United #678 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Epiphany 7 Year C; Epiphany 9 Year C; Epiphany Last/Transfig. Year C; Easter 5 Year C; Easter 6 Year C; Thanksgiving Year C Lyrics: 1 For the healing of the nations, God, 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 forward 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.

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

Yes, we know that thou art near us, and wilt hear us constantly. 3 Yea, we know that thou rejoicest o'er each work of thine; thou didst ears and hands and voices for thy praise design; craftsman's art and music's measure for thy pleasure all combine. 4 In thy house, great God, we offer of thine own to thee; and for thine acceptance proffer all unworthily, hearts and minds and hands and voices in our choicest psalmody. 5 Honour, glory, might and merit thine shall ever be, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, blessèd Trinity. Of the best that thou hast given earth and heaven render thee. Scripture: Daniel 7:10 Languages: English Tune Title: ANGEL VOICES

Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Hymnal: Voices United #62 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: The Christian Year C; Advent 3 Year C; Christmas 1 Year C Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city stood a lowly cattle-shed, where a mother laid her baby in a manger for his bed. Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven, who, with God is over all, and his shelter was a stable, and his cradle was a stall. There among the poor and lowly lived on earth our Saviour holy. 3 For he is our lifelong pattern; daily, when on earth he grew; he was tempted, scorned, rejected, tears and smiles like us he knew. Thus he feels for all our sadness, and he shares in all our gladness. 4 And our eyes at last shall see him, through his own redeeming love; for that child who seemed so helpless is our Lord in heaven above; and he leads his children on to the place where he is gone.
