A Man Lay Beaten, Left for Dead

Author: Andrew Pratt Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Compassion Lyrics: 1 A man lay beaten, left for dead, his shattered, broken frame spoke of the kicks that brought him down, the glows that bruise and maim. The ones who might have offered help could give a reason why they left him lying in the road, they left him there to die. 2 They spoke of fear, they passed him by, they left him in his pain; too busy or too self-absorbed to turn and look again. The ones who could have helped walked on, they passed and soon forgot, but one who knew the cost of love knelt down and shared his lot. 3 When people challenge or deny our rights and break us down, when others leave us desolate and friends just laugh or frown; the foreigners that we reject, the ones we would despise, can bring the grace of God to bear, bring love into our lives. 4 And when we see another's need and feel another's loss, God gives us courage and the strength, the memory of your cross; God give compassion, selfless care, and strip away our pride, then give us each the grace to love the ones we might deride. Scripture: Luke 10:25-37 Used With Tune: BUTCHER HILL

O make us open to your truth, your love and service teach us! 4 May all the darkness we have made and sins that have controlled us fade in the glory of your light, and your strong love enfold us. Bring us to new Jerusalem, your Bride from heaven descending, the City of the Father's peace and joy that has no ending. Scripture: Matthew 25:31-46 Used With Tune: BUGEILIO'R GWENITH GWYN

Jesus, in thee our eyes behold

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: God his vengeance and compassion; Vengeance and compassion Lyrics: Jesus, in thee our eyes behold A thousand glories more, Than the rich gems and polished gold The sons of Aaron wore. They first their own burnt-offerings brought, To purge themselves from sin; Thy life was pure without a spot, And all thy nature clean. [Fresh blood as constant as the day Was on their altar spilt; But thy one offering takes away For ever all our guilt.] [Their priesthood ran through several hands, For mortal was their race; Thy never-changing office stands Eternal as thy days.] [Once in the circuit of a year, With blood, but not his own, Aaron within the veil appears Before the golden throne: But Christ, by his own powerful blood, Ascends above the skies, And in the presence of our God Shows his own sacrifice.] Jesus, the King of glory, reigns On Zion's heav'nly hill; Looks like a lamb that has been slain, And wears his priesthood still. He ever lives to intercede Before his Father's face: Give him, my soul, thy cause to plead, Nor doubt the Father's grace. Scripture: Hebrews 7
