Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Hymnal: GC1994 #591 (1994) Meter: Irregular Person Name: Brian Wren, b. 1936 First Line: How shall I sing to God Lyrics: 1 How shall I sing to God when life is filled with gladness,
loving and birth, wonder and worth?
I'll sing from the heart, thankfully receiving, joyful in believing.
This is my song, I'll sing it with love.
2 How shall I sing to God when life is filled with bleakness,
empty and chill, breaking my will?
I'll sing through my pain, angrily or aching, crying or complaining
This is my song, I'll sing it with love.
3 How shall I sing to God and tell my Savior's story:
passover bread, life from the dead?

How Shall I Sing to God?
Joyful Is the Dark
Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Hymnal: GC1994 #760 (1994) Meter: 10.10.11.10 Person Name: Brian Wren, b. 1936 First Line: Joyful is the dark, holy, hidden, God Lyrics: 1 Joyful is the dark, holy, hidden God,
Rolling cloud of night beyond all naming:
Majesty in darkness, Energy of love,
Word-in-Flesh, the mystery proclaiming.
2 Joyful is the dark, Spirit of the deep,
Winging wildly o'er the world's creation,
Silken sheen of midnight plumage black and bright,
Swooping with the beauty of a raven.
3 Joyful is the dark, shadowed stable floor;
Angels flicker, God on earth confessing,
As with exultation, Mary, giving birth,
Hails the infant cry of need and blessing.
4 Joyful is the dark, coolness of the tomb,
Waiting for the wonder of the morning;
Never was that midnight touched by dread and gloom:
Darkness was the cradle of the dawning.
5 Joyful is the dark, depth of love divine,
Roaring, looming thundercloud of glory;
Holy, haunting beauty, living, loving God.
Hallelujah! Sing and tell the story! Scripture: Genesis 1 Languages: English Tune Title: JOYFUL DARKNESS

I Come with Joy to Meet My Lord
Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Hymnal: GC1994 #806 (1994) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Lyrics: 1 I come with joy to meet my Lord,
Forgiven, loved, and free,
In awe and wonder to recall
His life laid down for me.
2 I come with Christians far and near
To find, as all are fed,
The new community of love
In Christ's communion bread.
3 As Christ breaks bread, and bids us share
Each proud division ends.
The love that made us, makes us one,
And strangers now are friends.
4 And thus with joy we meet our Lord.
His presence, always near,
Is in such friendship better known:
We see and praise him here.
5 Together met, together bound
We'll go our diff'rent ways,
And as his people in the world,
We'll live and speak his praise.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 Languages: English Tune Title: LAND OF REST

When Love Is Found
Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Hymnal: GC1994 #865 (1994) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Person Name: Brian Wren, b. 1936 First Line: When love is found and hope comes home Lyrics: 1 When love is found and hope comes home,
Sing and be glad that two are one.
When love explodes and fills the sky,
Praise God and share our Maker's joy.
2 When love has flow'red in trust and care,
Build both each day that love may dare
To reach beyond home's warmth and light,
To serve and strive for truth and right.
3 When love is tried as loved ones change,
Hold still to hope though all seems strange,
Till ease returns and love grows wise
Through list'ning ears and opened eyes.
4 When love is torn and trust betrayed,
Pray strength to love till torments fade,
Till lovers keep no score of wrong
But hear through pain love's Easter song.
5 Praise God for love, praise God for life,
In age or youth, in husband, wife.
Lift up your hearts let love be fed
Through death and life in broken bread.

Through our life's long day,
When at times the way is cheerless,
Help us follow, calm and fearless;
Guide us by your hand
To the promised land.
2 Jesus be our light,
In the midst of night,
Let not faithless fear o'ertake us,
Let not faith and hope forsake us;
May we feel you near
As we worship here.
3 When in deepest grief,
Strengthen our belief.
When temptations come alluring,
Make us patient and enduring;
Lord we seek your grace
In this holy place.
4 Jesus, still lead on
'Til our rest be won:
If you lead us through rough places,
Grant us your redeeming graces.
When our course is o'er,
Open heaven's door.
