The kingdom of God is justice and joy
For the healing of the nations
Author: Fred Kaan (b. 1929) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: Justice and Peace Lyrics: 1 For the healing of the nations,
Lord, we pray with one accord;
for a just and equal sharing
of the things that earth affords.
To a life of love in action
help us rise and pledge our word.
2 Lead us forward into freedom;
from despair your world release,
that, redeemed from war and hatred,
all may come and go in peace.
Show us how through care and goodness
fear will die and hope increase.
3 All that kills abundant living,
let it from the earth be banned;
pride of status, race, or schooling,
dogmas that obscure your plan.
In our common quest for justice
may we hallow life's brief span.
4 You, Creator-God, have written
your great name on humankind;
for our growing in your likeness
bring the life of Christ to mind;
that by our response and service
earth its destiny may find. Scripture: Galatians 5:26 Used With Tune: TRIUMPH
For the healing of the nations

While to that Rock I’m clinging.
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth,
How can I keep from singing?

I hear that music ringing.
It finds an echo in my soul.
How can I keep from singing? [Refrain]

The Lord, my Savior, liveth.
What though the darkness gather round?
Songs in the night He giveth. [Refrain]

A fountain ever springing!
All things are mine since I am his!

you whose love is strong as death,
you who saw the dark of prison,
you who knew the price of faith —
touch our world of sad oppression
with your Spirit's healing breath.
2 Rid the earth of torture's terror,
you whose hands were nailed to wood,
hear the cries of pain and protest,
you who shed the tears and blood —
move in us the power of pity
restless for the common good.
3 Make in us a captive conscience
quick to hear, to act, to plead;
make us truly sisters, brothers
of whatever race or creed —
teach us to be fully human,
open to each other's need. Scripture: Song of Solomon 8:6-7 Used With Tune: RHUDDLAN

We bring you, Lord, our prayer and praise
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Justice and Peace Lyrics: 1 We bring you, Lord, our prayer and praise
that every child of earth
should live and grow in freedom's ways,
in dignity and worth.
2 We praise for such a task begun
to serve each other's need,
for every cause of justice won,
for every fetter freed.
3 Our prayers are for a world in pain
where force and fear prevail,
the plough becomes the sword again,
and hope and harvests fail.
4 Alike our prayer and praise express
the wants of humankind,
that those in bondage and distress
their larger freedoms find.
5 So may we still maintain the fight
till earth's oppressions cease
before the universal right
to liberty and peace.

and spread his truth abroad;
and in his Name we lift our prayer:
'Your kingdom come, O Lord.' Scripture: Matthew 6:9-13 Used With Tune: LIVERPOOL

Eternal God, We Come with Prayer
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Justice and Peace Lyrics: 1 Eternal God, we come with prayer,
those pioneers to praise,
who offered prisoners hope and care
in half-remembered days;
the honored few, whose names we know,
a Howard or a Fry,
and those unnoticed here below
whose names are known on high.
2 Bless those whose duty lies today
within the prison wall;
give them, on our behalf, we pray,
an equal care for all.
Draw near to those in sore distress
with weary years to spend;
dispel their fear and loneliness
and be for them a friend.
3 We pray for lives where hope is lost,
a weary road to climb;
the innocent who pay the cost
and bear the scars of crime.
Through all the world our prayer we make
for those unjustly tried,
the prisoners held for conscience' sake,
in cells where martyrs died.
4 O Christ, who once in mercy came
to seek for those astray,
the blessings of your saving Name
be known in this our day.
Your kingdom come, O Prince of peace,
to burst oppression's chain,
where hatred, crime and conflict cease,
and grace and mercy reign.
Eternal God, We Come with Prayer
