Bring to the Lord a glad new song

Author: Michael Arnold Perry (1942-1996) Hymnal: CH4 #106 (2005) Lyrics: 1 Bring to the Lord a glad new song, children of grace extol your king: your love and praise to God belong- to instruments of music, sing! Let those be warned who spurn God's name, let rulers all obey God's word: for justice shall bring tyrants shame: let every creature praise the Lord! 2 Sing praise within these hallowed walls, worship beneath the dome of heaven; by cymbals' sound and trumpets' calls let praises fit for God be given: with strings and brass and wind rejoice-- then, join our song in full accord all living things with breath and voice: let every creature praise the Lord!

Break not the circle of enabling love

Author: Fred Kaan (b. 1929) Hymnal: CH4 #206 (2005) Meter: 10.11.10.11 Lyrics: 1 Break not the circle of enabling love where people grow, forgiven and forgiving; break not that circle - make it wider still, till it includes, embraces all the living. 2 Come, wonder at this love that comes to life, where words of freedom are with humour spoken and people keep no score of wrong and guilt, but will that human bonds remain unbroken. 3 Sing high! Give thanks for all who came and come to teach the world the craft of hopeful craving for peace and wholeness that will fill the earth, for faith that stirs us to creative living. 4 Join then the movement of the love that frees, till people of whatever race or nation will truly be themselves, stand on their feet, see eye to eye with laughter and elation.

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning

Author: Reginald Heber (1783-1826) Hymnal: CH4 #327 (2005) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid; star of the east, the horizon adorning, guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2 Cold on his cradle the dew-drops are shining; low lies his head with the beasts of the stall; angels adore him in slumber reclining, Maker and Monarch and Saviour of all. 3 Say, shall we yield him, in costly devotion, odours of Edom, and offerings divine, gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean, myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, vainly with gifts would his favour secure: richer by far is the heart's adoration, dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. 5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid; star of the east, the horizon adorning, guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.

Bright the cloud and bright the glory

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Hymnal: CH4 #353 (2005) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 with refrain Lyrics: 1 Bright the cloud and bright the glory, brighter far than mere sun's rays, opening up a glimpse of heaven to disciples' awestruck gaze: power past their comprehension, splendour too profound for praise. All was changed, all was changed; and they would never be the same. 2 Bright the cloud but dark the glory wrought by human enterprise, opening wide with awful terror stark new worlds before our eyes: power grasped but far from mastered, knowledge keen but not yet wise. All has changed, all has changed; and we shall never be the same. 3 From the cloud and from the glory human need brought Jesus down: down to death, then from death rising to receive a victor's crown. Lead us, Christ, to prize compassion more than might, wealth, or renown. Help us change, help us change, that we may never be the same.
