When Will People Cease Their Fighting?

Author: Constance Cherry Hymnal: CH1995 #675 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 When will people cease their fighting? When will armies wage no war, nations conquer not their neighbor, weapons idle, used no more? When will guns and bombs be silent? When will captives be set free? All creation groans in longing for the world's true liberty. 2 Floods and earthquakes, drought and famine plague the world with awesome ill, but far greater is war's horror caused by human, stubborn will. Blest are those who, working, praying, purpose in their hearts to be instruments of peace, committed to the nations' harmony. 3 As we strive for peace with vigor, hoping to be shown the way, we are strengthened in the knowledge of a future, perfect day; for we know that deeper, richer peace is ours when Christ shall reign: then will all our swords be plowshares and God's children free from pain.

"Earth is good!" God’s word proclaimed it. Jubilate! Sing for joy! Save us, God, from wasteful living, from pollution’s tragedy. 3 Waving fields of wheat and barley, giant apples juicy red, cattle grazing in the pasture; by God’s bounty we are fed! Well supplied the world around us! Jubilate! Sing for joy! May no greed or warring madness scorch the earth or rob our bread. 4 Keep us faithful in the struggle to conserve earth’s threatened store as we fight to save the forest, clean the stream, protect the shore.

Faith must die, or come full circle to its source in God alone. 3 In the discipline of praying, when it's hardest to believe; in the drudgery of caring, when it's not enough to grieve; faith, maturing, learns acceptance of the insights we receive. 4 God is love, and thus redeems us in the Christ we crucify; this is God's eternal answer to the world's eternal why.

Author: Dan Damon Hymnal: CH1995 #223 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Woman, weeping in the garden, who has pushed the stone aside? Who has taken Jesus' body; Jesus Christ, the crucified? 2 Woman, waiting in the garden, after men have come and gone; after angels give their witness, silently you watch the dawn. 3 Woman, walking in the garden, Jesus takes you by surprise; when the gardener calls you, "Mary!" faith and joy meet in your eyes. 4 Woman, weeping in the garden, weep for joy, for you have seen Jesus, the Messiah, risen; Christ, of whom the prophets dream. 5 Woman, dancing from the garden, find the others and proclaim Christ is risen as he promised; tell the world he knew your name!

Jesus Calls Us O'er the Tumult

Author: Cecil F. Alexander Hymnal: CH1995 #337 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us o'er the tumult of our life's wild restless sea, day by day his sweet voice soundeth, saying, "Christian, follow me"; 2 Long ago apostles heard it by the Galilean lake, turned from home, and toil, and kindred, leaving all for his dear sake. 3 Jesus calls us from the worship of the vain world's golden store; from each idol that would keep us, saying, "Christian, love me more." 4 In our joys and in our sorrows, days of toil and hours of ease, still he calls, in cares and pleasures, "Christian, love me more than these." 5 Jesus calls us! By thy mercies, Savior, may we hear thy call, give our hearts to thine obedience, serve and love thee best of all.
