Dear Christ, uplifted from the earth
Author: Brian A. Wren, 1936- Appears in 15 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:10-13 Lyrics: 1 Dear Christ, uplifted from the earth,
your arms stretched out above
through every culture, every birth,
to draw an answering love.
2 Still east and west your love extends,
and always, near and far,
you call and claim us as your friends
and love us as we are.
3 Where age and gender, class and race,
divide us to our shame,
you see a person and a face,
a neighbour with a name.
4 May we, accepted as we are,
yet called in grace to grow,
reach out to others, near and far
your healing love to show. Topics: Ascension; Jesus Christ Friend; Jesus Christ Crucifixion; One Life in Christ Love; Welcome / Acceptance Used With Tune: DUNLAP'S CREEK

Christ is the world’s redeemer
Author: Duncan Macgregor, 1854-1923; St Columba, 521-97 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 Lyrics: 1 Christ is the world’s redeemer,
the lover of the pure,
the fount of heavenly wisdom,
our trust and hope secure,
the armour of his soldiers,
the lord of earth and sky,
our health while we are living,
our life when we shall die.
2 Christ has our host surrounded
with clouds of martyrs bright
who wave their palms in triumph
and fire us for the fight.
For Christ the cross ascended
to save a world undone,
and suffering for the sinful
our full redemption won.
3 Down in the realms of darkness
he lay a captive bound,
but at the hour appointed
he rose a victor crowned,
and now, to heaven ascended,
he sits upon the throne
in glorious dominion,
his Father's and his own.

Sing, My Tongue, the Glorious Battle
Author: Venantius Fortunatus (540?-600?); Percy Dearmer (1867-1936) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 13 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle,
sing the ending of the fray;
now above the cross, the trophy,
sound the loud triumphant lay:
tell how Christ, the world's redeemer,
as a victim won the day.
2 Tell how, when at length the fullness
of the appointed time was come,
Christ, the word, was born of woman,
left for us his heavenly home;
showed us human life made perfect,
shone as light amid the gloom.
3 Thus, with thirty years accomplished,
went he forth from Nazareth,
destined, dedicated, willing,
wrought his work and met his death.
Like a lamb he humbly yielded
on the cross his dying breath.
4 Faithful cross, thou sign of triumph,
now for us the noblest tree,
none in foliage, none in blossom,
none in fruit thy peer may be;
symbol of the world's redemption,
for the weight that hung on thee!
5 Unto God be praise and glory:
to the Father and the Son,
to the eternal spirit honour
now and evermore be done;
praise and glory in the highest,
while the timeless ages run. Topics: Holy Week (Good Friday) Used With Tune: ORIEL

Wise Men, They Came to Look for Wisdom
Author: Christopher Idle (1938-) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 Lyrics: 1 Wise men, they came to look for wisdom,
finding one wiser than they knew;
rich men, they met with one yet richer --
King of the kings, they knelt to you:
Jesus, our wisdom from above,
wealth and redemption, life and love.
2 Pilgrims they were, from unknown countries,
searching for one who knows the world;
lost are their names and strange their journeys,
famed is their zeal to find the child:
Jesus, in you the lost are claimed,
aliens are found and known and named.
3 Magi, they stooped to see your splendour,
led by a star to light supreme;
promised Messiah, Lord eternal,
glory and peace are in your name.
Joy of each day, our song by night,
shine on our path your holy light.
4 Guests of their God, they opened treasures --
incense and gold and solemn myrrh;
welcoming one too young to question
how came these gifts, and what they were.
Gift beyond price of gold or gem,
make among us your Bethlehem. Topics: Epiphany (feast); Christmas Used With Tune: WER NUR DEN LIEBEN GOTT
