The Wind of Change Forever Blown
Author: Sarojini Naidu, 1879-1949 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #183 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Change Lyrics: 1 The wind of change forever blown
across the tumult of our way,
tomorrow’s unborn griefs depose
the sorrows of our yesterday.
Dream yields to dream, strife follows strife,
and death unweaves the webs of life.
2 For us the labor and the heat,
the broken secrets of our pride,
the strenuous lessons of defeat,
the flower deferred, the fruit denied;
but not the peace, supremely won,
great Buddha, of the lotus throne.
3 With futile hands we seek to gain
our inaccessible desire,
diviner summits to attain,
with faith that sinks and feet that tire;
but nought shall conquer or control
the heav’nward hunger of our soul.
4 The end, elusive and afar,
still lures us with its beck’ning flight,
and our immortal moments are
a session of the infinite.
How shall we reach the great, unknown
nirvana of your lotus throne? Languages: English Tune Title: MACH'S MIT MIR, GOTT

God always faithful,
you do not change.

God in our hunger,
suffering with us,
taking our part,
still you empower us,
mothering Spirit,
feeding, sustaining,
from your own heart. [Refrain]
3 Those without status,
those who are nothing,
you have made royal,
gifted with rights,
chosen as partners,
midwives of justice,
birthing new systems,
lighting new lights. [Refrain]
4 Not by your finger,
not by your anger
will our world order
change in a day,
but by your people,
fearless and faithful,
small paper lanterns,
lighting the way. [Refrain]
5 Hope we must carry,
shining and certain
through all our turmoil,
terror, and loss,
bonding us gladly
one to the other,
till our world changes
facing the cross. [Refrain]

Bright the cloud and bright the glory
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #353 (2005) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 with refrain Topics: Change Lyrics: 1 Bright the cloud and bright the glory,
brighter far than mere sun's rays,
opening up a glimpse of heaven
to disciples' awestruck gaze:
power past their comprehension,
splendour too profound for praise.
All was changed, all was changed;
and they would never be the same.
2 Bright the cloud but dark the glory
wrought by human enterprise,
opening wide with awful terror
stark new worlds before our eyes:
power grasped but far from mastered,
knowledge keen but not yet wise.
All has changed, all has changed;
and we shall never be the same.
3 From the cloud and from the glory
human need brought Jesus down:
down to death, then from death rising
to receive a victor's crown.
Lead us, Christ, to prize compassion
more than might, wealth, or renown.
Help us change, help us change,
that we may never be the same. Scripture: Luke 23:49 Languages: English Tune Title: LUX TREMENDA

Christ Has Changed the World's Direction
Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #356 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.7 Topics: Change First Line: Christ has changed the world's direction! Lyrics: 1 Christ has changed the world's direction!
Christ can change the human heart:
agents of the new creation
mend the people torn part;
so are we charged to be
go-betweens for unity.
2 Peace will be our way of thinking:
common wealth and common state.
Gone the wounds, the words and weapons
that conspire to hurt and hate,
and no power shall devour earth or air
where peace might flower.
3 Debts and doubts will be forgiven,
canceled in the name of God,
olive trees again be planted
there where soldiers' boots have trod,
hunger fed, terror fled,
justice shining in its stead.
4 What have we as commendation,
sent to speak, as speak we must?
Love will be our global language,
hands an enemy can trust,
faith to faith, race with race,
all shall find a meeting place.
5 Envoys of a high commission,
gifts of hope we find to share,
Christ the Spirit reconciling,
Christ our internet of care.
Though we stall, fail or fall,
shall we now refuse God's call?

The load of Sin
Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: Laudes Domini #222 (1890) Topics: Heart Change of; Heart Change of First Line: How helpless guilty nature lies Lyrics: 1 How helpless guilty nature lies,
Unconscious of its load!
The heart, unchanged, can never rise
To happiness and God.
2 Can aught, beneath a power divine,
The stubborn will subdue?
'Tis thine, almighty Spirit! thine,
To form the heart anew.
3 'Tis thine, the passions to recall,
And upward bid them rise;
To make the scales of error fall
From reason's darkened eyes;
4 To chase the shades of death away,
And bid the sinner live;
A beam of heaven, a vital ray,
'Tis thine alone to give.
5 Oh, change these wretched hearts of ours,
And give them life divine;
Then shall our passions and our powers,
Almighty Lord! be thine. Languages: English Tune Title: BALERMA
