Mary and Joseph Came to the Temple
Author: Andrew Pratt Meter: 5.5.5.4 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Mary and Joseph Lyrics: 1 Mary and Joseph
came to the temple
brought the boy Jesus,
offered him there.
People were waiting
wanting to greet him;
long had they sought him,
solace for care.
2 Anna had prayed there,
widowed, long waiting,
worshiping God by
day and by night.
Now she is praising,
filled with elation:
here is God's promise,
Christ is her light.
3 Simeon sings now:
God proffers blessing,
brilliantly gilding
dawn of his day.
Light in the darkness,
never extinguished,
Light of all nations,
light up our way. Topics: Christian Year Nativity/Christmas; Christian Year Epiphany; Jesus Christ Birth; Light Scripture: Luke 2:22-39 Used With Tune: EVENING HYMN

Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Meter: 5.5.5.4 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: How shall we find you Lyrics: 1 How shall we find you,
God who is Holy,
captured by gender,
color, and code?
How shall we worship,
God of the Presence,
action and essence,
meaning and mode?
2 How shall we know you,
God who is Wisdom,
argued by scholars,
proofed on a page:
how to imagine,
God of Creation,
worlds beyond thinking,
here on our stage?
3 How shall we trust you,
God in the scriptures,
filtered through lenses,
biased and blurred:
how to revere you,
God of Tradition,
cased in our churches,
Word bound to word?
4 How shall we see you
if not in people
knit to your nature,
focused in sight—
angels and artists,
teachers and healers,
heart-and-soul people,
children of light.
5 How shall we love you
if not as human,
loving us wholly,
fleshed on our frame,
known to our hunger,
known in the meeting
spirit to Spirit,
naming our name. Topics: Contemplation; Discernment; God Mystery of; God's Presence; Seeking; Spirituality Scripture: Psalm 27:7-9 Used With Tune: EVENING HYMN

Now It Is Evening (Ya se oscurece)
Fred Pratt Green
1903 - 2000 Author of "Now It Is Evening" in Chalice Hymnal The name of the Rev. F. Pratt Green is one of the best-known of the contemporary school of hymnwriters in the British Isles. His name and writings appear in practically every new hymnal and "hymn supplement" wherever English is spoken and sung. And now they are appearing in American hymnals, poetry magazines, and anthologies.
Mr. Green was born in Liverpool, England, in 1903. Ordained in the British Methodist ministry, he has been pastor and district superintendent in Brighton and York, and now served in Norwich. There he continued to write new hymns "that fill the gap between the hymns of the first part of this century and the 'far-out' compositions that have crowded into some churches in the last decade or more."
