To you, O Christ, the Prince of Peace

Author: Richard Sturch (b. 1936) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Luke 10:25-37 Lyrics: 1 To you, O Christ, the Prince of Peace, the source of love and pity, we bring in prayer and penitence the countryside and city; the poverty that troubles both, the vanity that fools us, the walls that keep our lives apart, the ignorance that rules us. 2 As once you walked in Galilee, and learned its paths and valleys, or met within Jerusalem the crowds from streets and alleys; so help us learn our age's needs and meet those needs with caring, your world and people see in all, your love and gospel sharing. 3 Lord, let us never pass our days indifferent to others; or build up walls that hide from sight our sisters and our brothers; through windows barred and shuttered tight how can your sunshine reach us? 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.

A Man Lay Beaten, Left for Dead

Author: Andrew Pratt Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Luke 10:25-37 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.

Lord, May We See by Faith and Grace

Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Luke 10:36-37 Lyrics: 1 Lord, may we see by faith and grace your countenance in each sad face of those who stand and wait outside, encircled by your arms spread wide. 2 They cling to hope in their despair, and long for life more just and fair, a home that’s safe and bread to eat, warm clothes to wear, and water sweet; 3 And here, within this sacred space, a table where they have a place, a font of blessing, friends who care with helpful hands and heart-felt prayer. 4 Reveal yourself to them, we pray, in what we do and what we say, that as we share your love and grace, we may reflect your holy face.
