Be Still, My Soul
Author: Katharina von Schlegel; Jane Borthwick Meter: 10.10.10.10.10 10 Appears in 178 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 25:34 First Line: Be still, my soul; the Lord is on thy side Lyrics: 1 Be still, my soul; the Lord is on thy side.
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
Leave to thy God to order and provide,
In ev'ry change He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul; thy best, thy heavenly Friend
Thro' thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
2 Be still, my soul; thy God doth undertake
To guide the future as He has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul; the waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.
3 Be still, my soul; The hour is hastening on
When we shall be forever with the Lord;
When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone;
Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul; when change and tears are past,
All safe and blessed, we shall meet at last. Topics: Christians Assurance Used With Tune: FINLANDIA

O God, we bear the imprint of your face
Author: Shirley Erena Murray (b. 1931) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 25:31-46 Lyrics: 1 O God, we bear the imprint of your face:
the colours of our skin are your design,
and what we have of beauty in our race
as man or woman, you alone define,
who stretched a living fabric on our frame
and gave to each a language and a name.
2 Where we are torn and pulled apart by hate
because our race, our skin is not the same;
while we are judged unequal by the state
and victims made because we own our name --
humanity reduced to little worth
dishonoured is Your living face on earth.
3 O God, we share the image of your Son
whose flesh and blood are ours, whatever skin,
in his humanity we find our own,
and in his family our proper kin:
Christ is the brother we still crucify,
his love the language we must learn, or die. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in mission and service; Our Response to God in mission and service; Unity of Humanity Used With Tune: SONG 1

Almighty Father of All Things That Be
Author: Ernest E. Dugmore Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 25:14-30 Lyrics: 1 Almighty father of all things that be,
our life, our work we consecrate to thee,
whose heav'ns declare thy glory from above,
whose earth below is witness to thy love.
2 For well we know this weary, soiled earth
is yet thine own by right of its new birth,
since that great cross upreared on Calvary
redeemed it from its fault and shame to thee.
3 Thine still the changeful beauty of the hills,
the purple valleys flecked with silver rills,
the ocean glist'ning 'neath the golden rays:
they all are thine, and ceaseless speak thy praise.
4 Thou dost the strength to worker's arms impart;
from thee the skilled musician's reasoned art,
the grace of poet's pen or painter's hand,
to teach the loveliness of sea and land.
5 Then grant us, Lord, in all things thee to own,
to dwell within the shadow of thy throne,
to speak and work, to think and live and move
reflecting thine own nature, which is love;
6 that so, by Christ redeemed from sin and shame,
and hallowed by thy Spirit's cleansing flame,
ourselves, our work, and all our powers may be
a sacrifice acceptable to thee. Used With Tune: CHILTON FOLIAT

And marveled at the radiance of Thy face;
But often in some far-off Galilee
Beheld Thee fairer yet while serving Thee.

Abound with love and solace for the day;
And, 'neath the burdens there, Thy sovereignty
Has held our hearts enthralled while serving Thee.

O'er hill and dale in saffron flame and red;
But in the eyes of men, redeemed and free,
A splendor greater yet while serving Thee.

live without hope, cast aside, tossed away,
homeless and hungry, abused, in ill health,
shrouded by apathy, hidden from wealth.

Who will support them, whatever the cost?
Who has unlimited power to bring
hope to these children, and make their hearts sing?

Gratefully, gladly we promise to share
all your good gifts with these children in need,
following Jesus in word and in deed.

involved in our life, you live down the road.
Imprisoned in systems, you long to be free.
We witness you, Jesus, still bearing your tree.
3 We hear you, O *Man, in agony cry;
for freedom you march, in riots you die.
Your face in the papers we read and we see.
The tree must be planted by human decree.
4 You choose to be made at one with the earth;
the dark of the grave prepares for your birth.
Your death is your rising, creative your word:
the tree springs to life and our hope is restored!

lanterns of peace lighting pathways to justice,
giving the stranger a welcoming place;

open to cultures and creeds not our own,
building a model all *people will witness,
seeing where winds of the Spirit have blown!

while refugees swell the flood of the homeless,
while the earth shudders, and all creatures cry,

healing and helping a new world to birth,
household of faith that is fed at one table,
sharing good news with the whole of the earth. Topics: Humanity

Great devastation, Overwhelming sorrow!
Hear now your people—Homes and loved ones taken—
Feeling forsaken.
Christ of compassion, You who calmed the rough sea—
Hurricane crashing, We prayed for your mercy!
Comfort your people! Hold them close, now giving
Hope for their living.
Give to your children Food to end their hunger,
Clean water’s blessing, News of those they long for!
And by your Spirit, Use our gifts and labors
To help our neighbors. Topics: Lament; Mission; Nation/National Holidays Used With Tune: HERZLIEBSTER JESU

’Tis Jesus invites thee to come;
By the pow’r of His blood would He now make thee whole,
And fit thee to dwell in His home.
Refrain:
To be lost in the night, in eternity’s night,
To sink in despair and in woe;
But such is thy doom, if thou turn from the light,
Refusing His mercy to know.
2 His great, loving heart beats in pity for thee,
He anxiously waits for thee now;
Oh, turn not away, but His bleeding hands see,
They’ll smooth the dark clouds from thy brow. [Refrain]
3 Your time now is passing, eternity’s near,
The sun now hangs low o’er thy way;
Oh, turn to Him now, the glad gospel word hear,
Oh, hasten while yet there is day.
