Fold to your heart your sister and your brother
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-92 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 154 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Fold to your heart your sister and your brother:
where pity dwells, the peace of God is there;
to worship rightly and 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 he 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.

By Gracious Powers
Author: Dietrich Bonhoeffer; Fred Pratt Green Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 19 hymnals First Line: By gracious powers so wonderfully sheltered Lyrics: 1 By gracious powers so wonderfully sheltered,
And confidently waiting, come what may,
We know that God is with us night and morning
And never fails to greet us each new day.
2 Yet is this heart by its old foe tormented,
Still evil days bring burdens hard to bear;
O give our frightened souls the sure salvation
For which, O Lord, You taught us to prepare.
3 And when this cup You give is filled to brimming
With bitter suffering, hard to understand,
We take it thankfully and without trembling,
Out of so good and so beloved a hand.
4 Yet when again in this same world You give us
The joy we had, the brightness of Your sun,
We shall remember all the days we lived through,
And our whole life shall then be Yours alone. Scripture: Psalm 13:5-6 Used With Tune: INTERCESSOR

O Word of Pity, for Our Pardon Pleading
Author: Ada R. Greenaway Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O word of pity, for our pardon pleading,
Breathed in the hour of loneliness and pain;
O voice, which through the ages interceding,
Calls us to fellowship with God again.
2. O word of comfort, through the silence stealing,
As the dread act of sacrifice began;
O infinite compassion, still revealing
The infinite forgiveness won for man.
3. O word of hope to raise us nearer Heaven,
When courage fails us and when faith is dim;
The souls for whom Christ prays to Christ are given,
To find their pardon and their joy in Him.
4. O Intercessor, who art ever living
To plead for dying souls that they may live,
Teach us to know our sin which needs forgiving,
Teach us to know the love which can forgive. Used With Tune: INTERCESSOR Text Sources: Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1904
O Word of Pity, for Our Pardon Pleading
O God, Send Heralds
Author: Elisabeth Burrowes, 1883-1975 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: O God, send heralds who will never falter Lyrics: 1 O God, send heralds who will never falter,
Who dare to walk where Christ has set his feet,
Who know the Church as beacon and as altar
Where human need and your abundance meet.
2 Not to be served, but only to be serving,
To feed the hunger in the human heart,
To know that love which comes without deserving,
That love which only Jesus can impart.
3 Empires have come, have flourished and departed,
But still your Church, as witness to your way,
Lives on in darkness, light of the true-hearted,
And calls to action those whose feet would stay.
4 Send heralds, then, in whom your heart rejoices;
Send those who hear the call that sets us free,
With eager hearts and jubilating voices
Each making answer, "Here am I! Send me."

Psalm 102
Author: Christopher Martin Idle (b. 1938) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 3 hymnals 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. Topics: Christian Year Ash Wednesday; Despair and Trouble; God Faithfulness of; God in majesty Scripture: Psalm 102 Used With Tune: INTERCESSOR Text Sources: Praise Trust version
