You that know the Lord is gracious
Author: Cyril A. Alington, 1872-1955 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ye that know the Lord is gracious,
ye for whom a corner-stone
stands, of God elect and precious,
laid that ye may build thereon,
see that on that sure foundation
you a living temple raise,
towers that may tell forth salvation,
walls that may re-echo praise.
2 Living stones, by God appointed
each to his allotted place,
royal priests, by God anointed,
will you not declare God's grace?
Now a royal generation,
tell the tidings of your birth,
tidings of a new creation
to an old and weary earth.
3 Tell the praise of God who called you
out of darkness into light,
broke the fetters that enthralled you,
gave you freedom, peace and sight.
Tell the tale of sins forgiven,
strength renewed and hope restored,
till the earth, in tune with heaven,
praise and magnify the Lord. Topics: Freedom / Liberation; Jesus Christ Cornerstone / Foundation; New Day; Ordination / Commissioning; Profession of Faith; The Church Scripture: 1 Peter 2:4-10 Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH

Deep in the shadows of the past
Author: Brian A. Wren, 1936- Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Deep in the shadows of the past,
far out from settled lands,
some nomads traveled with their God
across the desert sands.
The dawning hope of humankind
by them was sensed and shown:
a promise calling them ahead,
a future yet unknown.
2 While others bowed to changeless gods,
they met a mystery,
invisible, without a name:
"I AM WHAT I WILL BE";
and by their tents, around their fires
in story, song and law,
they praised, remembered, handed on
a past that promised more.
3 From Exodus to Pentecost
the promise changed and grew,
while some, remembering the past,
recorded what they knew,
or with their letters and laments,
their prophecy and praise,
recovered, kindled, and expressed
new hope for changing days.
4 For all the writings that survived,
for leaders long ago,
who sifted, copied and preserved
the Bible that we know,
give thanks, and find its story yet
our promise, strength and call,
the model of emerging faith,
alive with hope for all. Topics: Desert / Wilderness; God Name of; Hope; Law; Mystery; Promise; Prophets; The Bible Scripture: Genesis 12:1-5 Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD
