By Gracious Powers

This is the night, dear friends, the night for weeping

Author: Peter Abelard, 1079-1142; Richard Sturch, b. 1936 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 7 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 Lyrics: 1 This is the night, dear friends, the night for weeping, when powers of darkness overcome the day, the night the faithful mourn the weight of evil whereby our sins the Son of Man betray. 2 This night the traitor, wolf within the sheepfold, betrays himself into his victim’s will, the Lamb of God for sacrifice preparing, sin brings about the cure for sin’s own ill. 3 This night Christ institutes his holy supper, blest food and drink for heart and soul and mind; this night injustice joins its hand to treason’s, and buys the ransom-price of humankind. 4 This night the Lord by slaves shall be arrested, he who destroys our slavery to sin; accused of crime, to criminals be given, that judgement on the righteous Judge begin. 5 O make us sharers, Saviour, of your Passion, that we may share your glory that shall be; let us pass through these three dark nights of sorrow to Easter’s laughter and its liberty.

Psalm 102

Author: Christopher Martin Idle (b. 1938) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 First Line: Lord, hear my prayer! My cry shall come before you Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear my prayer! My cry shall come before you; hide not your face when I am in distress. My life burns up; my days have lost their glory, drifting like smoke, in pain and helplessness. 2 Like some wild owl among deserted ruins, lonely I call while enemies curse on. Tears are my drink; God's wrath is my undoing; ashes my food till all my days are gone. 3 But you, O Lord, remain enthroned for ever; you will arise; in you shall kingdoms trust. Now is the time; your city pleads your favour, your servants love her stones, her very dust. 4 God will rebuild! Write this to sing tomorrow; lips yet unformed their Hallelujahs cry! Glory will dawn upon our world of sorrow, freeing from prison those condemned to die. 5 Then shall your name on Zion's hill be spoken; strangers shall fill Jerusalem with praise. But as for me, my strength is bruised and broken; spare me, O God; do not cut short my days! 6 Heaven and earth you formed in the beginning; these soon wear out - Lord, you remain the same! They shall be changed; your years endure unending; our children's children live to praise your name.

Children of God, reach out to one another!

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 3 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 Children of God, reach out to one another! Where pity dwells, the peace of God is there; to worship rightly is to love each other, each smile a hymn, each kindly deed a prayer. 2 For he whom Jesus loved has truly spoken: the holier worship which God deigns to bless restores the lost, and binds the spirit broken, and feeds the widow and the fatherless. 3 Follow with reverent steps the great example of him whose holy work was doing good; so shall the wide earth seem our Father's temple, each loving life a psalm of gratitude. 4 Then shall all shackles fall; the stormy clangour of wild war music o'er the earth shall cease; love shall tread out the baleful fire of anger, and in its ashes plant the tree of peace.
