God Is Our Song

Author: Fred Pratt Green (1903-) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: 1 Kings 19:1-18 First Line: God is our song, and every singer blest Lyrics: 1 God is our song, and every singer blest who, giving praise, finds energy and rest. All who praise God with unaffected joy give back to us the blessing we destroy. 2 God is our song, for Jesus comes to save; while praising him, we offer all we have. New songs we sing, in ventures new unite, when Jesus leads us upward into light. 3 This is the song no conflict ever drowns; who praises God all human wrath disowns. Love knows what rich complexities of sound God builds upon a simple, common ground. 4 God is our silence when no songs are sung, when ecstasy or sorrow stills the tongue. Glorious the faith which silently obeys until we find again the voice of praise. Topics: Adoration; Arts and Music; Praise of God Used With Tune: FARLEY CASTLE

Transfigured Christ, None Comprehends

Author: Alan Gaunt (1935-) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: 1 Kings 19:1-18 Lyrics: 1 Transfigured Christ, none comprehends your majesty, whose splendour stuns all waking souls; whose light transcends the brightness of a thousand suns! 2 You stand with Moses on the hill, you speak of your new exodus. The way through death, you will fulfil by dying helpless on the cross. 3 You stand here with Elijah too, by whom the still small voice was heard: and you, yourself, will prove God true, made mute in death, incarnate Word. 4 If we could bear your brightness here and stay for ever in your light, then we would conquer grief and fear, and scorn the terrors of the night. 5 But, from the heights, you bring us down, to share earth's agonies with you, where piercing thorns are made your crown and death, accepted, proves love true. 6 Majestic Christ, God's well-loved son, if we must share your grief and loss, transfigure us, when all is done, with glory shining from your cross.

We sing your praise, eternal God

Author: Alan Gaunt (b. 1935) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: 1 Kings 19 Lyrics: 1 We sing your praise, eternal God, to whom all praise belongs; but we can never match your love, however loud our songs: 2 Your love which comes so silently, through all the noise we hear; the noise of quarrelling and war, the cries of grief and fear. 3 The winds of doubt uproot our faith, the earthquakes of despair destroy our hope, and fires of hate kill love and stifle prayer. 4 And yet no sound on earth can drown the silence we have heard; the voice of your eternal love; the silence of your Word. 5 It comes to guilty, broken hearts, with challenge and release; prepares us for self-sacrifice and speaks eternal peace.
