Confirm thy soul in self-control,

The church of Christ, in every age
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #486 (1997) Topics: Freedom / Liberation Lyrics: 1 The church of Christ in every age,
beset by change but Spirit-led,
must claim and test its heritage
and keep on rising from the dead.
2 Across the world, across the street,
the victims of injustice cry
for shelter and for bread to eat,
and never live until they die.
3 Then let the servant church arise,
a caring church that longs to be
a partner in Christ's sacrifice,
and clothed in Christ's humanity.
4 For he alone, whose blood was shed,
can cure the fever in our blood,
and teach us how to share our bread
and feed the starving multitude.
5 We have no mission but to serve
in full obedience to our Lord,
to care for all, without reserve,
and spread his liberating Word.

Author: Rusty Edwards (b. 1955) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #762 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Freedom and Liberation Lyrics: 1 Praise the One who breaks the darkness
with a liberating light.
Praise the One who frees the prisoners
turning blindness into sight.
Praise the One who preached the gospel,
curing every dread disease,
calming storms and feeding thousands
with the very bread of peace.
2 Praise the One who blessed the children
with a strong yet gentle word.
Praise the One who drove out demons
with a piercing, two-edged sword.
Praise the One who brings cool water
to the desert's burning sand;
from this well comes living water,
quenching thirst in every land.
3 Praise the one true love incarnate,
Christ, who suffered in our place.
Jesus died and rose for many
that we may know God by grace.

seeing what our God has done.
Praise the one redeeming glory.
Praise the One who makes us one. Scripture: Mark 5:1-15 Languages: English Tune Title: NETTLETON

A Blood Red Rose Reminds Us Still
Author: Daniel Charles Damon Hymnal: New Hymns of Hope #2 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Freedom-Liberation Lyrics: 1 A blood red rose reminds us still
of one who faced a waiting grave
with faith and hope on that green hill,
whose love still comes to heal and save.
2 We pray to one who understands
the heavy cross that we now bear,
for one brief day in Roman hands
a thorny crown he had to wear.
3 God grieves with us in every loss,
for joys cut short when help comes late,
and Jesus, dying on the cross,
spoke words of pardon, not of hate.
4 A blood red rose was gently laid
in Joseph's new and waiting tomb.
This gracious gift in love was made,
for love is in eternal bloom.
5 So come and place your flowers here
upon the altar in this room,
and sweep away the hate and fear
till love comes leaping from the tomb. Scripture: John 1:19-42 Languages: English Tune Title: FIFTY-TWO ROSES
A Blood Red Rose Reminds Us Still
