Blest Are God's Peacemaking Ones

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Songs of Grace #74 (2009) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: Peacemaking First Line: Blest are God's peacemaking ones, Sent to work in countless ways-- Lyrics: Blest are God’s peacemaking ones, Sent to work in countless ways— God’s own daughters, God’s own sons, Serving without seeking praise. Yet like leaven in our bread, They persist to change us all. By God’s Spirit, they are led T o pursue God’s peaceful call. Bless-ed are God’s prophets, too, Called to challenge what we know. Working for a world that’s new, Calling us to change and grow. Though the message that they bear Stands against what powers say— It is Jesus’ word they share, News of God’s new breaking day. God, through Jesus’ love and grace, May we live what we profess. In the challenges we face, May we know what makes us blest. May we stand against the wrong; May our thirst for you increase. Give to us a prophet’s song! May we work to bring your peace! Scripture: Luke 13:20-21 Languages: English Tune Title: ABERYSTWYTH

We Love to Sound Your Praises

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Songs of Grace #9 (2009) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Peacemaking First Line: We love to sound yoiur praises To lift our hands above Lyrics: We love to sound your praises, To lift our hands above, To sing how grace amazes, To celebrate your love. Yet, God, your world is grieving; Is your heart breaking, too? May we cry out, believing Laments can honor you. Like Jeremiah, crying For cities that were lost, We see the children dying Who know war’s awful cost. Each day repeats the story; Sin takes its toll again. How can we sing your glory When our hearts break with them? The scope of sin is broader Than what the late news tells; Rejecting living water, We dig our broken wells. In gods of our own making We look for joy each day; O God, is your heart breaking When we all turn away? O God, you came to save us In Christ, your suffering Son. In his death you forgave us; In his life, joy is won! And when this world is suffering, When songs of grief abound, May we work for your kingdom, Till alleluias sound!

Another Son is Killed

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Songs of Grace #73 (2009) Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Topics: Peacemaking Lyrics: Another son is killed, Another daughter dies, And loving, waiting homes are filled With loved ones’ cries. As rivers never sleep, So wars flow on and on. Hang up your harps, sit down and weep For those now gone! We grieve for children lost, For hearts too sad to pray; We mourn, O Lord, the growing cost Of hatred’s way. And sure as threats increase And anger turns to war, We pray that we may find a peace Worth struggling for. We know your way, O Lord, For all your people here: A plowshare from a fighting sword, A transformed spear! Now comfort those who grieve, Be in each saddened home, And by your grace may we believe— And seek Shalom. Scripture: Isaiah 2:4 Languages: English Tune Title: LEONI

Lord, What is All Our Fighting For?

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Songs of Grace #75a (2009) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Peacemaking Lyrics: Lord, what is all our fighting for? We train our young to go to war. A young girl sees the terror spread As soldiers shoot her parents dead. Lord, what is our acceptance for? We tolerate what you abhor. Each day more little ones are lost; May we seek truth and count war’s cost. What can we for repentance bring? You do not want an offering. “Do what is just,” you simply say; “Love what is kind and seek my way.” Lord, what is all our silence for? Now make us bold to say, “No more!” The world need not be what it’s been; Your peace will reign! Your love will win! Scripture: Isaiah 2:4 Languages: English Tune Title: O WALY WALY
