Christ Is Alive
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 55 hymnals Topics: Race Relations First Line: Christ is alive! Let Christians sing Lyrics: 1 Christ is alive! Let Christians sing.
The cross stands empty to the sky.
Let streets and homes with praises ring.
Love, drowned in death, shall never die.
2 Christ is alive! No longer bound
to distant years in Palestine,
but saving, healing, here and now
and touching every place and time.
3 In every insult, rift, and war
where colour, scorn, or wealth divide,
Christ suffers still, yet loves the more,
and lives, where even hope has died.
4 Women and men, in age and youth,
can feel the Spirit, hear the call,
and find the way, the life, the truth,
revealed in Jesus, freed for all.
5 Christ is alive, and comes to bring
good news to this and every age,
till earth and sky and ocean ring
with joy, with justice, love and praise.

forget the steps already trod,
and onward urge your way,

that calls you from on high;
'tis his own hand presents the prize
to your aspiring eye,

which shall new luster boast,
when victors' wreaths and monarchs' gems
shall blend in common dust,
shall blend in common dust.
5 Blest Savior, introduced by you,
have I my race begun;
and, crowned with vict'ry, at your feet
I'll lay my honors down,
I'll lay my honors down.

For the Healing of the Nations
Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: Race Relations Lyrics: 1 For the healing of the nations,
God, we pray with one accord;
for a just and equal sharing
of the things that earth affords.
To a life of love in action
help us rise and pledge our word.
2 Lead us forward into freedom,
from despair your world release;
that, redeemed from war and hatred,
all may come and go in peace.
Show us how through care and goodness
fear will die and hope increase.
3 All that kills abundant living,
let it from the earth be banned;
pride of status, race or schooling,
dogmas that obscure your plan.
In our common quest for justice
may we hallow life's brief span.
4 You, Creator God, have written
your great name on humankind;
for our growing in your likeness
bring the life of Christ to mind,
that by our response and service
earth its destiny may find. Used With Tune: WESTMINSTER ABBEY

God, Whose Giving Knows No Ending
Author: Robert L. Edwards Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: Race Relations Lyrics: 1 God, whose giving knows no ending,

nature's wonder, Jesus' wisdom,
costly cross, grave's shattered door;
gifted by you, we turn to you,
offering up ourselves in praise;
thankful songs shall rise forever,
gracious donor of our days.
2 Skills and time are ours for pressing
toward the goals of Christ, your Son:
all at peace in health and freedom,
races joined, the church made one.
Now direct our daily labor,
lest we strive for self alone;
born with talents, make us servants
fit to answer at your throne.
3 Treasure, too, you have entrusted,
gain through powers your grace conferred;
ours to use for home and kindred,
and to spread the gospel word.
Open wide our hands in sharing,
as we heed Christ's ageless call,
healing, teaching, and reclaiming,
serving you by loving all. Scripture: James 1:5 Used With Tune: BEACH SPRING
