The Church of Christ in Every Age
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #295 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Injustice Lyrics: 1 The church of Christ in every age
beset by change but Spirit-led,
must claim and test its heritage,
and keep on rising from the dead.
2 Across the world, across the street,
the victims of injustice cry,
for shelter and for bread to eat,
and never live until they die.
3 Then let the servant church arise,
a caring church that longs to be
a partner in Christ’s sacrifice,
and clothed in Christ’s humanity.
3 We have no mission but to serve
in full obedience to our Lord,
to care for all, without reserve,
and spread his liberating word.
4 For Christ alone, whose blood was shed,
can cure the fever in our blood,
and teach us how to share our bread
and feed the starving multitude.
5 We have no mission but to serve
in full obedience to our Lord:
to care for all, without reserve,
and spread Christ's liberating word.

Judges Who Rule the World by Laws
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Christian Worship #58B (2021) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Injustice Lyrics: 1 Judges, who rule the world by laws,
will you despise the righteous cause,
when in your court poor victims stand?
Dare you condemn the righteous poor,
and let rich crooks escape secure,
while gold and greatness bribe your hand?
2 Have you forgot, or never knew
that God will judge the judges too?
High in the heav'ns his justice reigns;
yet you invade the rights of God
and send your bold decrees abroad,
to bind the conscience in your chains.
3 A poisoned arrow is your tongue,
the arrow sharp, the poison strong,
and death attends where'er it wounds:
you hear no counsels, cries, or tears,
just as the cobra stops her ears
against the pow'r of charming sounds.
4 Break out their teeth, eternal God—
those teeth of lions dyed in blood—
and crush the serpents in the dust:
as empty chaff when whirlwinds rise
before the sweeping tempest flies,
so let their hopes and names be lost.
5 Th' Almighty thunders from the sky,
their grandeur melts, their titles die,
as hills of snow dissolve and run,
or snails that perish in their slime,
or births that come before their time,
vain births, that never see the sun.
6 Thus shall the vengeance of the LORD
true peace and joy to saints afford,
and all that hear shall join and say,
"There is a God who rules on high,
a God who hears his children cry,
and will their suff'rings well repay." Scripture: Psalm 58 Languages: English Tune Title: OLD 113TH

Eternal God Transcending Time
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., 1944- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #59 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Injustice Lyrics: 1 Eternal God transcending time,
yet mindful of the fears,
the hopes, the questions raised for us
by ever-changing years:
so guide us through our pilgrim days
that we may find a home
where justice, truth, and mercy meet,
fulfilled in your shalom.
2 Incarnate God revealed in time,
true Word in flesh retold,
who marked the years from birth to death,
then rose to break death's hold:
by your becoming one with us,
help us to know and claim
the unity of all baptized
in your redeeming name.
3 Life-breathing God enliv'ning time,
awaking heart and tongue,
inspiring prophets, bringing hope,
consoling old and young:
draw us to those denied your gifts
by bias, want, or strife,
convert our wills and form through us
new channels of your life.
4 Great Triune God, so bless the time
entrusted to our care,
that all our varied ministries
may form a common prayer;
then when time ceases,
bring us where divisions are undone,
that in your presence, joined in praise,
at last we may be one. Scripture: John 1:1-4 Languages: English Tune Title: THE FLIGHT OF THE EARLS

The Lords of Earth Are in the Hands
Author: David G. Preston Hymnal: Christian Worship #82B (2021) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Injustice Lyrics: 1 The lords of earth are in the hands
of God who reigns on high;
within their councils there he stands
with ever-watchful eye.
2 "How long will you betray the cause
of justice in the land?
You let the wicked flout the laws
and prosper by your hand.
3 "Defend the poor from those who place
no limit on their greed;
support the weak and fatherless
and rescue those in need."
4 Though mindless and corrupt they prove,
and tread the people down,
though earth's foundations all remove,
still God is on his throne.
5 They proudly boast a godlike birth;
in death, like men, they fall.
Arise, O God, and judge the earth
and rule the nations all! Scripture: Psalm 82 Languages: English Tune Title: ADAM
The Lords of Earth Are in the Hands
