Remember the Children

Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: NHOH #193 Meter: 11.11.11.11 First Line: Remember the children by God named and known Lyrics: 1 Remember the children by God named and known. Amid harsh migration they fend on their own. They bear heavy burdens of hunger and cold, and turn to each other their strength to uphold. 2 Remember the children who scamper and roam through blown-apart buildings that once they called home. Where rage there was vented by mortar and bomb they live out God's promise: "the weak shall be strong." 3 Give thanks for all children, wherever they live, for all who can lead them to love and forgive. Our hopes they can nurture through trouble and strife, till night turns to morning, and love kindles life. Topics: Children Languages: English

See the Wild Goose Rising

Author: Alan Gaunt Hymnal: NHOH #197 Meter: 6.5.6.5 D First Line: See the wild goose rising, flying to the sun Lyrics: See the wild goose rising, flying to the sun, never hesitating, now the time has come; see the others follow, crowding to the sky, rising to the moment, never asking why! Christ is resurrected! Should we stand and stare? Should we wait to argue, with such joy to share? He has come to find us, eager to invite fearful ones to follow, borne on his delight! He who hung in sorrow, facing total loss, gained the joy of heaven, dying on the cross. Soaring faith affirms it, death can never hide, life that springs for ever in the one who died. Though our faith still falters, though despair and shock still strike doubt and terror through his scattered flock; we will heed his summons, seize the hope he brings, then with doubt behind us, rise and spread our wings!
