The Wind of Change Forever Blown
Author: Sarojini Naidu, 1879-1949 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #183 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Change Lyrics: 1 The wind of change forever blown
across the tumult of our way,
tomorrow’s unborn griefs depose
the sorrows of our yesterday.
Dream yields to dream, strife follows strife,
and death unweaves the webs of life.
2 For us the labor and the heat,
the broken secrets of our pride,
the strenuous lessons of defeat,
the flower deferred, the fruit denied;
but not the peace, supremely won,
great Buddha, of the lotus throne.
3 With futile hands we seek to gain
our inaccessible desire,
diviner summits to attain,
with faith that sinks and feet that tire;
but nought shall conquer or control
the heav’nward hunger of our soul.
4 The end, elusive and afar,
still lures us with its beck’ning flight,
and our immortal moments are
a session of the infinite.
How shall we reach the great, unknown
nirvana of your lotus throne? Languages: English Tune Title: MACH'S MIT MIR, GOTT

God in the Gospel,
hope seen in Jesus,
hope yet to come,
you are our center,
daylight or darkness,
freedom or prison,
you are our home.

Fresh as the morning,
sure as the sunrise,
God always faithful,

God in our hunger,
suffering with us,
taking our part,
still you empower us,
mothering Spirit,
feeding, sustaining,
from your own heart. [Refrain]
3 Those without status,
those who are nothing,
you have made royal,
gifted with rights,
chosen as partners,
midwives of justice,
birthing new systems,
lighting new lights. [Refrain]
4 Not by your finger,
not by your anger
will our world order
change in a day,
but by your people,
fearless and faithful,
small paper lanterns,
lighting the way. [Refrain]
5 Hope we must carry,
shining and certain
through all our turmoil,
terror, and loss,
bonding us gladly
one to the other,
till our world changes
facing the cross. [Refrain]

Bright the cloud and bright the glory
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #353 (2005) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 with refrain Topics: Change Lyrics: 1 Bright the cloud and bright the glory,
brighter far than mere sun's rays,
opening up a glimpse of heaven
to disciples' awestruck gaze:
power past their comprehension,
splendour too profound for praise.
All was changed, all was changed;
and they would never be the same.
2 Bright the cloud but dark the glory
wrought by human enterprise,
opening wide with awful terror
stark new worlds before our eyes:
power grasped but far from mastered,
knowledge keen but not yet wise.
All has changed, all has changed;
and we shall never be the same.
3 From the cloud and from the glory
human need brought Jesus down:
down to death, then from death rising
to receive a victor's crown.
Lead us, Christ, to prize compassion
more than might, wealth, or renown.
Help us change, help us change,
that we may never be the same. Scripture: Luke 23:49 Languages: English Tune Title: LUX TREMENDA

Unconscious of its load!

To happiness and God.

The stubborn will subdue?

To form the heart anew.

And upward bid them rise;
To make the scales of error fall
From reason's darkened eyes;
4 To chase the shades of death away,
And bid the sinner live;
A beam of heaven, a vital ray,
'Tis thine alone to give.
5 Oh, change these wretched hearts of ours,
And give them life divine;
Then shall our passions and our powers,
Almighty Lord! be thine. Languages: English Tune Title: BALERMA

When God revealed his gracious name

And did thy hand confess;
My tongue broke out in unknown strains,
And sung surprising grace.

Can give us day for night;
Make drops of sacred sorrow rise
To rivers of delight.

Till the fair harvest come:
They shall confess their sheaves are great,
And shout the blessings home. Scripture: Psalm 126

he to my rescue came.

the dwellings of the just;
deliverance he affords to all
who on his succour trust.

how blest are they, and only they,
who in his truth confide!

have nothing else to fear;
make you his service your delight,
your wants shall be his care.

new-born worlds rise and adore.

showers gifts on us below;
his desire our souls delight in,

at his hand,
joy awaits at his command!

sacrifice of praise be done,
high above all praises praising
for the gift of Christ his Son.
