Be Doers of the Word of God
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: James 2:1-7 Lyrics: Be doers of the word of God,
Not simply those who hear.
Be ones who look into God’s word,
Obey, and persevere.
Be quick to listen, slow to speak,
And slow to anger, too.
Put wrath aside; instead, be meek
And let God work in you.
Religion that is undefiled,
Religion that is pure
Will reach to help the orphaned child
And welcome all the poor.
If people come here poorly dressed,
To judge them is a sin.
The rich aren’t better than the rest;
God welcomes poor ones in.
O Christ, you save us by God’s grace
From having to obey.
Then freed to love, we can embrace
A life that seeks your way.
May we be doers of the word,
May faith shine through our deeds;
And as we seek to trust in God,
May ethics follow creeds.
Topics: Grace of God; Justice; Life in Christ Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE

Captains of the saintly band
Author: J. B. de Santeuil, 1630-1697; Henry Williams Baker, 1821-1877 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 25 hymnals Scripture: James 2:12 Lyrics: 1 Captains of the saintly band,
lights who lighten ev'ry land,
princes who with Jesus dwell,
judges of his Israel.
2 On the nations sunk in night
ye have shed the Gospel light;
sin and error flee away;
truth reveals the promised day.
3 Not by warrior’s spear and sword,
not by art of human word,
preaching but the Cross of shame,
rebel hearts for Christ ye tame.
4 Earth, that long in sin and pain
groaned in Satan’s deadly chain,
now to serve its God is free
in the law of liberty.
5 Distant lands with one acclaim
tell the honour of your name,
who, wherever man has trod,
teach the mysteries of God.
6 Glory to the Three in One
while eternal ages run,
who from deepest shades of night
called us to his glorious light. Topics: All Saints; Evening; The Body of Christ; The Communion of Saints Used With Tune: HARTS
Captains of the saintly band
Come and find the quiet centre
Author: Shirley Erena Murray (b. 1931) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: James 2:14-17 Lyrics: 1 Come and find the quiet centre
in the crowded life we lead,
find the room for hope to enter,
find the frame where we are freed:
clear the chaos and the clutter,
clear our eyes, that we can see
all the things that really matter,
be at peace, and simply be.
2 Silence is a friend who claims us,
cools the heat and slows the pace;
God it is who speaks and names us,
knows our being, touches base,
making space within our thinking,
lifting shades to show the sun,
raising courage when we're shrinking,
finding scope for faith begun.
3 In the Spirit let us travel,
open to each other's pain;
let our loves and fears unravel,
celebrate the space we gain:
there's a place for deepest dreaming,
there's a time for heart to care;
in the Spirit's lively scheming
there is always room to spare! Topics: The Church Celebrates Wholeness and Healing; Encouragement; Freedom and Liberation Used With Tune: LEWIS FOLK MELODY

Dear Christ, Uplifted from the Earth
Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Scripture: James 2:23 Lyrics: 1 Dear Christ, uplifted from the earth,
your arms stretched out above
through every culture, every birth,
to draw an answering love.
2 Still east and west your love extends
and always, near and far,
you call and claim us as your friends
and love us as we are.
3 Where age and gender, class and race,
divide us to our shame,
you see a person and a face,
a neighbour with a name.
4 May we, accepted as we are,
yet called in grace to grow,
reach out to others, near and far,
your healing love to show. Used With Tune: McKEE
Dear Christ, Uplifted from the Earth
