Great God of Earth and Heaven

Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Great God of earth and heaven whose Spirit is our breath, at Christmastime born human, at Easter shared our death: All-generous, all-loving, in whom all beauty thrives - forgive your sons and daughters the comfort of our lives! 2 While refugees go homeless and die before they live, while children have no future - our apathy forgive! Where hope fades to depression, despair erodes the soul, restore in us a passion to make the broken whole. 3 Where hunger kills your people, injustice cries aloud, while weapons grow more lethal and only power stands proud - God of our flesh and fiber, whose mercy does not cease, implant your mind within us, create a world for peace!

Help Us Accept Each Other

Author: Fred Kaan, b. 1929 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 24 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Help us accept each other As Christ accepted us; Teach us as sister, brother, Each person to embrace. Be present, Lord, among us, And bring us to believe We are ourselves accepted And meant to love and live. 2 Teach us, O Lord, your lessons, As in our daily life We struggle to be human And search for hope and faith. Teach us to care for people, For all, not just for some; To love them as we find them, Or, as they may become. 3 Let your acceptance change us, So that we may be moved In living situations To do the truth in love; To practice your acceptance, Until we know by heart The table of forgiveness And laughter's healing art. 4 Lord, for today's encounters With all who are in need, Who hunger for acceptance, For righteousness and bread, We need new eyes for seeing, New hands for holding on; Renew us with your Spirit; Lord, free us, make us one!

O Light that pierced and blinded The zealot in his wrath! O Voice that spake within him The calm reproving word! O Love that sought and held him The bondman of his Lord! 3 O Wisdom, ordering all things In order strong and sweet, What nobler spoil was ever Cast at the Victor's feet? What wiser master-builder E'er wrought at thine employ, Than he, till now so furious Thy building to destroy? 4 Lord, teach thy Church the lesson, Still in her darkest hour Of weakness and of danger To trust thy hidden power. Thy grace by ways mysterious The wrath of man can bind, And in thy boldest foeman Thy chosen saint can find!

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, 1926- Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 6 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 No weight of gold or silver can measure human worth; no soul secures its ransom with all the wealth of earth; no sinners find their freedom but by the gift unpriced, the Lamb of God unblemished, the precious blood of Christ. 2 Our sins, our griefs and troubles, he bore and made his own; we hid our faces from him, rejected and alone. His wounds are for our healing, our peace is by his pain. behold, the Man of Sorrows, the Lamb for sinners slain. 3 In Christ the past is over, a new world now begins. With him we rise to freedom who saves us from our sins. We live by faith in Jesus to make his glory known: behold, the Man of Sorrows, the Lamb upon his throne!
