Earth-Maker, Source of the World and Our Wisdom

Author: Andrew Pratt Hymnal: NHOH #51 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 Earth-maker, source of the world and our wisdom, lover and carer, for ever the same; bread for our sustenance, all we have needed, you offer freely, we worship your name. Pain-bearer, holding the fragile and faulted, 2 loving the broken and tending the frail; bringing forgiveness and grace for our mending, you are the heaven where love will not fail. 3 Life-giver, offering justice and mercy, needing your presence we come at your call; hallow your name through the whole of creation, you reign in glory forever and all!

Elijah Bent and Touched the Earth

Author: Daniel Charles Damon Hymnal: NHOH #52 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Elijah bent and touched the earth, his face between his knees. He prayed to see a little cloud, to feel a cooling breeze. "I hear the sound of rushing rain, the fragrance fills the air. Go up now, look out toward the sea." The boy saw nothing there. 2 "Why is Elijah sending me? These seven times I go. But wait! a cloud is forming there, so small, so soft, so low, no larger than a person's hand, and rising from the sea. As I looked out in my despair, a cloud appeared to me." 3 "Go tell the wicked king to ride his chariot back to town." The sky turns black, the wind comes up, the saving rain pours down. Our lives and lands, both parched and dry, are rich again with rain. This land will blossom like a rose, and joy may rise again.

Eternal God, We Come with Prayer

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Hymnal: NHOH #55 Lyrics: 1 Eternal God, we come with prayer, those pioneers to praise, who offered prisoners hope and care in half-remembered days; the honored few, whose names we know, a Howard or a Fry, and those unnoticed here below whose names are known on high. 2 Bless those whose duty lies today within the prison wall; give them, on our behalf, we pray, an equal care for all. Draw near to those in sore distress with weary years to spend; dispel their fear and loneliness and be for them a friend. 3 We pray for lives where hope is lost, a weary road to climb; the innocent who pay the cost and bear the scars of crime. Through all the world our prayer we make for those unjustly tried, the prisoners held for conscience' sake, in cells where martyrs died. 4 O Christ, who once in mercy came to seek for those astray, the blessings of your saving Name be known in this our day. Your kingdom come, O Prince of peace, to burst oppression's chain, where hatred, crime and conflict cease, and grace and mercy reign. Topics: Justice and Peace Languages: English

Fair wind and the Sky Is Clear

Author: Daniel Charles Damon Hymnal: NHOH #57 Meter: 7.6.8.5.5.10 Lyrics: 1 Fair wind and the sky is clear. We row, filled with good cheer, and set out to cross Galilee. On leaving our nets, we have no regrets. We follow Jesus, and sail on the sea. 2 But suddenly strong winds roar. We pull hard for the shore. The waves pound against us all night. But who can it be, way out on the sea? A ghostly figure has dawned on our sight. 3 Soon Peter goes overboard, by faith, watching our Lord, but doubt comes and Peter cries out. We look on in fear as Jesus draws near and saves him asking, "Oh, why did you doubt?" 4 They get in the boat and then, a fair wind comes again. We worship our Lord on the sea. Our boat scrapes the sand, we step out on land, and Jesus calls us, "Come walking with me."

Father God, Who Gave Us Being

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Hymnal: NHOH #58 Meter: 8.7.8.7.3.3.7 Lyrics: 1 Father God, who gave us being, foreordained our works and ways, wise beyond our mortal seeing, Lord of all our yesterdays; none can show all we owe, mercies more than mind can know. 2 Countless blessings still surround us, called to Jesus' flock and fold, sharers of the love that found us, all its treasures, new and old; spirits stirred by his word as today his voice is heard. 3 Where that word of life is spoken, there the seed of faith is sown; where the bread of life is broken, there he makes his presence known: Christ the same, in whose Name we his saving death proclaim. 4 Christ, no more the Man of Sorrows! risen now, the Lamb who died, Lord of our unknown tomorrows, King of glory, glorified! to him raise all our days thankful hymns of love and praise.

Fill Our Mouths With Laughter

Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: NHOH #60 Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Lyrics: 1 Fill our mouths with laughter, give us joyful tongues. May all who come after know where praise belongs. God, on us bestowing all that life esteems, Love eternal, knowing all our hopes and dreams. 2 People from all nations ponder what good things God, who loves all people, promises and brings. Arid watercourses fed by falling rain, like untethered horses freely flow again. 3 As a telling preacher lifts your people's worth and a peasant farmer harrows stubborn earth, those who go out weeping, sowing precious seed, shall return with singing, shouldering their sheaves.
