Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: New Hymns of Hope #34 Meter: 8.8.10.8 Lyrics: 1 Christ is our peace, Christ is our health,
he the true Word, his the true wealth –
gifts to be shared by the simple and poor:
peace in your land, peace at your door.
2 Peace in your mouth, peace in the hands
open to truth, to love's demands:
those who would go with Christ also must bleed –
bright is the flower, burst is the seed.
3 Who work for peace find the true wealth,
who heal the hurt find their own health –
peace will flow on through the hearts that believe:
this may we know, thus may we live. Topics: Peace Languages: English Tune Title: SAM-KIAP

Shirley Erena Murray
1931 - 2020 Person Name: Shirley Murray Author of "Christ is our peace" in Alleluia Aotearoa Shirley Erena Murray (b. Invercargill, New Zealand, 1931) studied music as an undergraduate but received a master’s degree (with honors) in classics and French from Otago University. Her upbringing was Methodist, but she became a Presbyterian when she married the Reverend John Stewart Murray, who was a moderator of the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand. Shirley began her career as a teacher of languages, but she became more active in Amnesty International, and for eight years she served the Labor Party Research Unit of Parliament. Her involvement in these organizations has enriched her writing of hymns, which address human rights, women’s concerns, justice, peace, the integrity of creation, and the unity of the church. Many of her hymns have been performed in CCA and WCC assemblies. In recognition for her service as a writer of hymns, the New Zealand government honored her as a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit on the Queen’s birthday on 3 June 2001. Through Hope Publishing House, Murray has published three collections of her hymns: In Every Corner Sing (eighty-four hymns, 1992), Everyday in Your Spirit (forty-one hymns, 1996), and Faith Makes the Song (fifty hymns, 2002). The New Zealand Hymnbook Trust, for which she worked for a long time, has also published many of her texts (cf. back cover, Faith Makes the Song). In 2009, Otaga University conferred on her an honorary doctorate in literature for her contribution to the art of hymn writing.
