We Utter Our Cry

Author: Fred Kaan Hymnal: BH1991 #631 (1991) Meter: 10.10.11.11 First Line: We utter our cry: that peace may prevail Lyrics: 1. We utter our cry: that peace may prevail, That earth will survive, and faith must not fail. We pray with our life for the world in our care, For people diminished by doubt and despair. 2. We cry from the fright of our daily scene For strength to say "No" to all that is mean: Designs bearing chaos, extinction of life, All energy wasted on weapons of death. 3. Creator of life, come, share out, we pray, Your Spirit on earth, revealing the Way To leaders conferring 'round tables for peace, That they may from bias and guile be released. 4. Whatever the ill or pressure we face, Lord, hearten and heal, give insight and grace To think and make peace with each heart-beat and breath, Choose Christ before Caesar and life before death!

Our God is marching on. [Chorus] 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 live to make men free, While God is marching on.

Our God is marching on. [Chorus] Scripture: Isaiah 6:1 Languages: English Tune Title: BATTLE HYMN

O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there. O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? 2. O thus be it ever, when free men shall stand Between their loved homes and the war's desolation; Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land Praise the pow'r that hath made and preserved us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just; And this be our motto: "In God is our trust!" And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
