We Utter Our Cry

Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: We utter our cry: that peace may prevail Lyrics: 1. We utter our cry: that peace may prevail, That earth will survive, and faith must not fail. We pray with our life for the world in our care, For people diminished by doubt and despair. 2. We cry from the fright of our daily scene For strength to say "No" to all that is mean: Designs bearing chaos, extinction of life, All energy wasted on weapons of death. 3. Creator of life, come, share out, we pray, Your Spirit on earth, revealing the Way To leaders conferring 'round tables for peace, That they may from bias and guile be released. 4. Whatever the ill or pressure we face, Lord, hearten and heal, give insight and grace To think and make peace with each heart-beat and breath, Choose Christ before Caesar and life before death! Scripture: Psalm 61:2 Used With Tune: LYONS

O Worship the King all glorious above

Author: Robert Grant Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1,139 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O worship the King all-glorious above, O gratefully sing his power and his love: our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days, pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise. 2 O tell of his might and sing of his grace, whose robe is the light, whose canopy space. His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, and dark is his path on the wings of the storm. 3 Your bountiful care, what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light; it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. 4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, in you do we trust, nor find you to fail. Your mercies, how tender, how firm to the end, our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend! 5 O measureless Might, unchangeable Love, whom angels delight to worship above! Your ransomed creation, with glory ablaze, in true adoration shall sing to your praise!
