We Wait the Peaceful Kingdom
Author: Kathleen R. Moore Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 We wait the peaceful kingdom,
when wolf and lamb shall lie
in gentleness and friendship
without a fear or sigh,
when lion shall be grazing,
when snake shall never strike;
a little child shall lead us
both strong and weak alike.
2 Where is the peaceful kingdom?
When will this new day start?
We long for peace and comfort
to reign within each heart.
Yet not in our lives only,
nor simply in our home:
we pray that all creation
will one day find shalom.
3 When wars of desolation
and hate come to an end,
when nation meets with nation
and calls the other "friend,"
still peace in all its fullness
will only have begun:
shalom for all creation
begins with justice done.
4 That little child shall lead us
to walk the chosen way,
to share the peaceful kingdom,
to greet God's newborn day.
The child born in a stable
is sent to break our chains,
to bring through word and table
the day when justice reigns. Topics: Animals; The Life of the Nations; A New Heaven and a New Earth; Personal Peace; World Peace; Reconciliation Scripture: Isaiah 2:2-4 Used With Tune: MERLE’S TUNE

Psalm 84: How Lovely, Lord, How Lovely
Author: Arlo D. Duba, b. 1929 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 18 hymnals First Line: How lovely, Lord, how lovely is your abiding place Lyrics: 1
How lovely, Lord, how lovely is your abiding place;
my soul is longing, fainting, to feast upon your
grace.
The sparrow finds a shelter, a place to build her
nest,
and so your temple calls us within its walls to rest.
2
In your blest courts to worship, O God, a single day
is better than a thousand if I from you should stray.
I’d rather keep the entrance and claim you as my
Lord
than revel in the riches the ways of sin afford.
3
A sun and shield forever are you, O Lord Most High;
you shower us with blessings; no good will you
deny.
The saints, your grace receiving, from strength to
strength shall go,
and from their life shall rivers of blessing overflow.
