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.

groaned in Satan’s deadly chain,

in the law of liberty.

teach the mysteries of God.

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

Not Far From the Kingdom
Author: Asa A. Armen Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Not far, not far from the kingdom Scripture: James 2:5 Refrain First Line: Not far, not far from the kingdom Lyrics: 1 Not far, not far from the kingdom,
Yet in the shadow of sin,
Lo! many coming and going,
But few are entering in.
Not far, not far from the gateway,
Why art thou standing in wait?
And fearing boldly to enter,
Though it may soon be too late.
Refrain:
Not far, not far from the kingdom,
Then why not enter today?
So near, yes, “almost persuaded,”
Oh, come, come while you may.
2 You hear the strains of sweet music,
That floats so sweetly along;
You know the song they are singing,
Yet joining not in the song.
You catch a glimpse of the beauty,
You share a part of the light;
Yet weary, lonely, you’re waiting
Out in the desolate night. [Refrain]
3 Out in the darkness and danger,
Out in the storm and the cold;
Yet Jesus waits to receive you,
And bring you into his fold.
Not far, not far from the kingdom,
Why not in Jesus repose?
’Twill soon be late and forever,
The door of mercy shall close. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Not far, not far from the kingdom]
