Put peace into each other's hands

Author: Fred Kaan (b. 1929) Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: James 3:17-18 Lyrics: 1 Put peace into each other's hands and like a treasure hold it; protect it like a candle flame, with tenderness enfold it. 2 Put peace into each other's hands with loving expectation; be gentle in your words and ways, in touch with God's creation. 3 Put peace into each other's hands, like bread we break for sharing; look people warmly in the eye: our life is meant for caring. 4 And at communion, shape your hands into a waiting cradle; the gift of Christ, receive, revere, united round the table. 5 Put Christ into each other's hands, he is love's deepest measure; in love make peace, give peace a chance and share it like a treasure.

John L. Bell

b. 1949 Person Name: John L. Bell (b. 1949) Scripture: James 3:17-18 Author of "Praise to the Lord for the joys of the earth" in Church Hymnary (4th ed.) John Bell (b. 1949) was born in the Scottish town of Kilmarnock in Ayrshire, intending to be a music teacher when he felt the call to the ministry. But in frustration with his classes, he did volunteer work in a deprived neighborhood in London for a time and also served for two years as an associate pastor at the English Reformed Church in Amsterdam. After graduating he worked for five years as a youth pastor for the Church of Scotland, serving a large region that included about 500 churches. He then took a similar position with the Iona Community, and with his colleague Graham Maule, began to broaden the youth ministry to focus on renewal of the church’s worship. His approach soon turned to composing songs within the identifiable traditions of hymnody that began to address concerns missing from the current Scottish hymnal: "I discovered that seldom did our hymns represent the plight of poor people to God. There was nothing that dealt with unemployment, nothing that dealt with living in a multicultural society and feeling disenfranchised. There was nothing about child abuse…,that reflected concern for the developing world, nothing that helped see ourselves as brothers and sisters to those who are suffering from poverty or persecution." [from an interview in Reformed Worship (March 1993)] That concern not only led to writing many songs, but increasingly to introducing them internationally in many conferences, while also gathering songs from around the world. He was convener for the fourth edition of the Church of Scotland’s Church Hymnary (2005), a very different collection from the previous 1973 edition. His books, The Singing Thing and The Singing Thing Too, as well as the many collections of songs and worship resources produced by John Bell—some together with other members of the Iona Community’s “Wild Goose Resource Group,” —are available in North America from GIA Publications.
