When Our Confidence Is Shaken
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When our confidence is shaken
in beliefs we thought secure,
when the spirit in its sickness
seeks but cannot find a cure,
God is active in the tensions
of a faith not yet mature,
of a faith not yet mature.
2 Solar systems, void of meaning,
freeze the spirit into stone;
always our researches lead us
to the ultimate unknown.
Faith must die, or come full circle
to its source in God alone,
to its source in God alone.
3 In the discipline of praying,
when it's hardest to believe;
in the drudgery of caring,
when it's not enough to grieve;
faith, maturing, learns acceptance
of the insights we receive,
of the insights we receive.
4 God is love, and thus redeems us
in the Christ we crucify;
this is God's eternal answer
to the world's eternal why.
May we in this faith maturing
be content to live and die,
be content to live and die! Scripture: 1 John 4:16 Used With Tune: CWM RHONDDA

on Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
while shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King,
whom shepherds guard and angels sing;
haste, haste to bring him laud,
the babe, the son of Mary!
2 Why lies he in such mean estate
where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here
the silent Word is pleading.
Nails, spear shall pierce him through,
the cross be borne for me, for you;
hail, hail the Word made flesh,
the babe, the son of Mary!
3 So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh,
come peasant, king, to own him;
the King of kings salvation brings,
let loving hearts enthrone him.
Raise, raise the song on high,
the Virgin sings her lullaby;
joy, joy for Christ is born,
the babe, the son of Mary! Scripture: Luke 2:35 Used With Tune: GREENSLEEVES

his own "all hail" and, hearing,
may raise the victor strain.

Let earth its song begin!
The world resound in triumph,
and all that is therein;
let all things seen and unseen
their notes of gladness blend;
for Christ the Lord has risen,
our Joy that has no end. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 Used With Tune: LANCASHIRE
