Before him goes his herald, forerunner in the way, the prophet of salvation, the messinger of day. 3 On those who live in darkness the sun begins to rise, the dawning of forgiveness upon the sinner's eyes; to guide the feet of pilgrims along the paths of peace.

We Wait the Peaceful Kingdom

Author: Kathleen R. Moore Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 We wait the peaceful kingdom, when wolf and lamb shall lie in gentleness and friendship without a fear or sigh, when lion shall be grazing, when snake shall never strike; a little child shall lead us both strong and weak alike. 2 Where is the peaceful kingdom? When will this new day start? We long for peace and comfort to reign within each heart. Yet not in our lives only, nor simply in our home: we pray that all creation will one day find shalom. 3 When wars of desolation and hate come to an end, when nation meets with nation and calls the other "friend," still peace in all its fullness will only have begun: shalom for all creation begins with justice done. 4 That little child shall lead us to walk the chosen way, to share the peaceful kingdom, to greet God's newborn day. The child born in a stable is sent to break our chains, to bring through word and table the day when justice reigns.

The World Is Full of Stories

Author: Alan Gaunt, 1935- Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 The world is full of stories, of stories that have passed to us along the ages; great stories that still last, to tell of human feelings drawn deep from heart and mind, more true than fact: their meaning the surest we can find. 2 The world is full of stories, new stories people tell, and young and old come under the storyteller's spell which stirs imagination and opens wide our eyes to duty and conviction, to wonder and surprise. 3 The world is full of stories that capture and enthral; but joyful faith discovers that one transcends them all: God's love as told in Jesus, who shared our life on earth, and human recreation beginning at his birth. 4 It tells us of the anguish God's love was bound to bear, to conquer death and evil and fathom our despair. As we repeat the story, hope comes to life and thrives, to make the love of Jesus the story of our lives. Scripture: Acts 24:10-21 Used With Tune: MERLE'S TUNE

When Jesus Came to Jordan (Cuando al Jordán fue Cristo)

Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000; Alberto Merubia, 1919-2013 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When Jesus came to Jordan To be baptized by John, He did not come for pardon, But as the sinless One. He came to share repentance With all who mourn their sins, To speak the vital sentence With which good news begins. 2 He came to share temptation, Our utmost woe and loss, For us and our salvation To die upon the cross. So when the Dove descended On him, the Son of Man, The hidden years had ended, The age of grace began. 3 Come, Holy Spirit, aid us To keep the vows we make; This very day invade us, And ev'ry bondage break. Come, give our lives direction, The gift we covet most: To share the resurrection That leads to Pentecost. --- 1 Cuando al Jordán fue Cristo y Juan le bautizó, no fue perdón pidiendo, pues él jamás pecó. Con los arrepentidos se identificó; les trajo buenas nuevas, y el reino se inició. 2 Él vino a ser tentado, que es nestra condición; sobre una cruz clavado nos trajo salvación. Y cuando la Paloma del cielo descendió, ocultos años cesan, la gracia comenzó. 3 Ayúdanos los votos que hacemos a cumplir. Los yogos que tenemos, oh ven tú a destruir. ¡Desciende y danos vida, que nuestro anhelo es, tras la Resurrección disfrutar Pentecostés!

Her Baby, Newly Breathing

Author: Brian Wren Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Her baby, newly breathing, with wailing needful cry, by Mary kissed and cradled, is lulled in lullaby. Long months of hope and waiting, the thrill and fear of birth, are crowned with exultation, and God is on the earth. 2 The eyes that gaze at Mary have yet to name or trace the world of shape and color, or recognize a face; yet Holiness Eternal is perfectly expressed in hands that clutch unthinking, and lips that tug the breast. 3 The milk of life is flowing as Mary guides and feeds her wordless Word, embodied in infant joys and needs. Enormous, formless strivings, and yearnings deep and wide, be-cradled in communion, are fed and satisfied. 4 How mother-like the Wisdom that carried and gave birth to all things, seen and unseen, and nurtured infant earth: unstinting, unprotected, prepared for nail and thorn, constricted into maleness, and of a woman born. Topics: God Known in Jesus Christ Birth; Birth; Christian Year: Christmas; Jesus Christ; Jesus Christ: Birth Used With Tune: MERLE'S TUNE
