O Word of Pity, for Our Pardon Pleading

Author: Ada R. Greenaway Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5533 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1. O word of pity, for our pardon pleading, Breathed in the hour of loneliness and pain; O voice, which through the ages interceding, Calls us to fellowship with God again. 2. O word of comfort, through the silence stealing, As the dread act of sacrifice began; O infinite compassion, still revealing The infinite forgiveness won for man. 3. O word of hope to raise us nearer Heaven, When courage fails us and when faith is dim; The souls for whom Christ prays to Christ are given, To find their pardon and their joy in Him. 4. O Intercessor, who art ever living To plead for dying souls that they may live, Teach us to know our sin which needs forgiving, Teach us to know the love which can forgive.

By Gracious Powers So Wonderfully Sheltered

Author: Dietrich Bonhoeffer; Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #55 (1985) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 By gracious powers so wonderfully sheltered, and confidently waiting, come what may, we know that God is with us night and morning, and never fails to greet us each new day. 2 Yet is this heart by its old foe tormented, still evil days bring burdens hard to bear; O give our frightened souls the sure salvation for which, O Lord, you taught us to prepare. 3 And when this cup you give is filled to brimming, with bitter sorrow, hard to understand, we take it thankfully and without trembling, out of so good and so beloved a hand. 4 Yet when again in this same world you give us the joy we had, the brightness of your sun, we shall remember all the days we lived through, and our whole life shall then be yours alone.

Psalm 102

Author: Christopher Martin Idle (b. 1938) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #66 (2005) Meter: 11.10.11.10 First Line: Lord, hear my prayer! My cry shall come before you Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear my prayer! My cry shall come before you; hide not your face when I am in distress. My life burns up; my days have lost their glory, drifting like smoke, in pain and helplessness. 2 Like some wild owl among deserted ruins, lonely I call while enemies curse on. Tears are my drink; God's wrath is my undoing; ashes my food till all my days are gone. 3 But you, O Lord, remain enthroned for ever; you will arise; in you shall kingdoms trust. Now is the time; your city pleads your favour, your servants love her stones, her very dust. 4 God will rebuild! Write this to sing tomorrow; lips yet unformed their Hallelujahs cry! Glory will dawn upon our world of sorrow, freeing from prison those condemned to die. 5 Then shall your name on Zion's hill be spoken; strangers shall fill Jerusalem with praise. But as for me, my strength is bruised and broken; spare me, O God; do not cut short my days! 6 Heaven and earth you formed in the beginning; these soon wear out - Lord, you remain the same! They shall be changed; your years endure unending; our children's children live to praise your name.

We turn to you, O God of every nation

Author: Fred Kaan (b. 1929) Hymnal: New Church Praise #103 (1975) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 We turn to you, O God of every nation, giver of life and origin of good; your love is at the heart of all creation, your hurt is people's broken brotherhood. 2 We turn to you that we may be forgiven for crucifying Christ on earth again. We know that we have never wholly striven, forgetting self, to love the other man. 3 Free every heart from pride and self-reliance, our ways of thought inspire with simple grace; break down among us barriers of defiance, speak to the soul of all the human race. 4 Teach us, good Lord, to serve the need of others, help us to give and not to count the cost. Unite us all for we are born as brothers; defeat our Babel with your Pentecost. Topics: Confession and Penitence; World and Society Justice and Peace Languages: English Tune Title: INTERCESSOR
