Isaiah the Prophet Has Written of Old
Author: Joy F. Patterson, 1931- Meter: 11.8.11.8 D Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 65:25 Lyrics: 1 Isaiah the prophet has written of old
how God's new creation shall come.
Instead of the thorn tree, the fir tree shall grow;
the wolf shall lie down with the lamb.
The mountains and hills shall break forth into song,
the peoples be led forth in peace,
for the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of God
as the waters cover the seas.
2 Yet nations still prey on the meek of the world,
and conflict turns parent from child.
Your people despoil all the sweetness of earth,
the brier and the thorn tree grow wild.
God, bring to fruition your will for the earth,
that no one shall hurt or destroy,
when wisdom and justice shall reign in the land
and your people shall go forth in joy.

Isaiah the Prophet Has Written of Old
O Day of Peace
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 22 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 65:25 First Line: O day of peace that dimly shines Lyrics: 1 O day of peace that dimly shines
Through all our hopes and prayers and dreams,
Guide us to justice, truth, and love,
Delivered from our selfish schemes.
May swords of hate fall from our hands,
Our hearts from envy find release,
Till by God's grace our warring world
Shall see Christ's promised reign of peace.
2 Then shall the wolf dwell with the lamb,
Nor shall the fierce devour the small;
As beasts and cattle calmly graze,
A little child shall lead them all.
Then enemies shall learn to love,
All creatures find their true accord;
The hope of peace shall be fulfilled,
For all the earth shall know the Lord. Used With Tune: JERUSALEM
O Day of Peace
Songs of praise the angels sang
Author: Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 542 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 65:17 Lyrics: 1 Songs of praise the angels sang,
Heaven with hallelujahs rang,
When Jehovah's work begun,
When he spake, and it was done.
2 Songs of praise awoke the morn
When the Prince of Peace was born;
Songs of praise arose when he
Captive led captivity.
3 Heaven and earth must pass away--
Songs of praise shall crown that day;
God will make new heavens and earth--
Songs of praise shall hail their birth.
4 And shall man alone be dumb,
Till that glorious kingdom come?
No; the Church delights to raise
Psalms and hymns and songs of praise.
5 Saints below, with heart and voice,
Still in songs of praise rejoice;
Learning here, by faith and love,
Songs of praise to sing above.
6 Borne upon their latest breath,
Songs of praise shall conquer death;
Then, amid eternal joy,
Songs of praise their powers employ.

Lord, Bring the Day to Pass
Author: Ian Fraser Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 65:17 Lyrics: 1 Lord, bring the day to pass
when forest, rock and hill,
the beasts, the birds, the grass
will know your finished will:
when we attain our destiny,
and nature its lost unity.
2 Forgive our careless use
of water, ore, and soil--
the plenty we abuse,
supplied by others' toil:
save us from making self our creed:
turn us towards each other's need.
3 Give us, when we release
creation's secret powers,
to harness them for peace,
our children's peace and ours:
teach us the art of mastering
which makes life rich and draws death's sting.
4 Creation groans, travails;
futile its present plight,
bound till the hour it hails
the newfound heirs of light
who enter on their true estate.
Come, Lord! new heav'ns and earth create! Topics: In The Beginning The Earth is the Lord's Used With Tune: CAMANO

the passing ages pray;
and faithful souls have yearned to see
on earth that kingdom's day.

not less to God belong;
and for the everlasting right
the silent stars are strong.
3 And lo, already on the hills
the flags of dawn appear;
gird up your loins, ye prophet souls,
proclaim the day is near:
4 The day in whose clear-shining light
all wrong shall stand revealed,
when justice shall be throned with might,
and every heart be healed:
5 When knowledge, hand in hand with peace,
shall walk the earth abroad,
the day of perfect righteousness,
the promised day of God. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Risen - Coming Again; Christian Year Advent; Justice and Peace; Kingdom of God Used With Tune: IRISH

Advice to youth: or, old age and death in an unconverted state
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 118 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 65:20 First Line: Now in the heat of youthful blood Lyrics: 1 Now in the heat of youthful blood,
Remember your Creator, God:
Behold, the months come hast'ning on
When you shall say, "My joys are gone."
2 Behold the aged sinner goes,
Laden with guilt and heavy woes,
Down to the regions of the dead,
With endless curses on his head.
3 The dust returns to dust again;
The soul in agonies of pain
Ascends to God; not there to dwell,
But hears her doom, and sinks to hell.
4 Eternal King! I fear thy name,
Teach me to know how frail I am;
And when my soul must hence remove,
Give me a mansion in thy love.
Advice to youth: or, old age and death in an unconverted state

O God, Our Creator, You Work Every Day
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 65:20-22 Lyrics: O God, our Creator, you work every day:
A potter, you form us, your people, like clay.
A shepherd, you guide us and seek out the lost.
A parent, you love us, not counting the cost.
Christ Jesus, how rough were your hard-working hands!
You labored among us; our God understands!
Bless workers who struggle, their families to feed;
Bless those who face hardship, oppression, or greed.
Lord, some live among us who need constant care,
Whose work is to make us more humbly aware.
They teach us the best of your lessons, by far:
It’s not what we do, Lord, you love who we are!
We’re baptized! Your Spirit gives new work to do,
That we, through our serving, may glorify you.
Each person’s vocation, each calling, has worth
As you send us out to bring Christ’s love on earth.
