For the Healing of the Nations
Author: Fred Kaan Hymnal: Voices Together #705 (2020) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Peace and Justice Lyrics: 1 For the healing of the nations,
Lord, we pray with one accord,
for a just and equal sharing
of the things that earth affords.
To a life of love in action
help us rise and pledge our word.
2 Lead us forward into freedom;
from despair your world release,
that, redeemed from war and hatred,
all may come and go in peace.
Show us how through care and goodness
fear will die and hope increase.
3 All that kills abundant living,
let it from the earth be banned:
pride of status, race, or schooling,
dogmas that obscure your plan.
In our common quest for justice
may we hallow life’s brief span.
4 You, Creator God, have written
your great name on humankind.
For our growing in your likeness,
bring the life of Christ to mind
that by our response and service
earth its destiny may find. Scripture: Genesis 1:26-31 Tune Title: REGENT SQUARE

Strong, peaceful man of Galilee
Author: Harry W. Farrington Hymnal: Voices Together #573 (2020) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Peace and Justice Lyrics: 1 Strong, peaceful man of Galilee,
robed with your strength we long to be—
not to revenge; to heal and pray,
to turn the cheek, and tribute pay.
Robed with your strength we long to be,
strong, peaceful man of Galilee.
2 Strong, righteous man of Galilee,
dressed with your peace we long to be—
in temple court, your cleansing rod;
on greed and lies, the wrath of God.
Dressed with your peace we long to be,
strong, righteous man of Galilee.
3 Strong, suff’ring man of Galilee,
clad in your grace we hope to be—
love at the well, share Martha’s loss,
forgive the nails, and take the cross.
Clad in your grace we hope to be,
strong, suff’ring man of Galilee.
4 God’s peaceful man of Galilee,
Love’s triumph, we at last will see—
to crumble ev’ry bound’ry wall,
build highways to the hearts of all.
Love’s triumph, we at last will see,
God’s peaceful man of Galilee. Scripture: Matthew 4:18-22 Tune Title: MELITA
Strong, peaceful man of Galilee

All Who Love and Serve Your City
Author: Erik Routley Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #697 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: Peace and Justice Lyrics: 1 All who love and serve your city,
all who bear its daily stress,
all who cry for peace and justice,
all who curse and all who bless:
2 in your day of loss and sorrow,
in your day of helpless strife,
honor, peace, and love retreating,
seek the Lord, who is your life.
3 In your day of wealth and plenty,
wasted work and wasted play,
call to mind the word of Jesus,
"I must work while it is day."
4 For all days are days of judgment,
and the Lord is waiting still,
drawing near to all who spurn him,
off'ring peace from Calv'ry's hill.

be the city of despair?
Come today, our judge, our glory;
be its name, "The Lord is there!" Scripture: Jeremiah 29:7 Languages: English Tune Title: CHARLESTOWN

Forgive, Forgive Us, Holy God
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: Voices Together #149 (2020) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Peace and Justice First Line: Forgive us, forgive us, holy God! Lyrics: 1 Forgive, forgive us, holy God!
Your children call on you to hear!
Our blood is on each other’s hands,
we die from hunger, lies and fear.
2 Forgive us that our souls are numb
to scenes of terror, screams of pain;
that while we pray “Your kingdom come”
our world is still a battle plain.
3 Forgive the minds no longer shocked
by homeless poor, by lives abused,
forgive us that the earth is stacked
with weapons waiting to be used.
4 Forgive us that our household gods
are self and safety, private need,
forgive us all our fitful prayers,
the token gift, the token deed.
5 Give us this day the bread of peace,
the hands to share a common good,
the hearts to ache for justice's sake,
the will to stand where Jesus stood. Scripture: Isaiah 1:21-23 Tune Title: ROUGH SEAS
Forgive, Forgive Us, Holy God
Behold a Broken World
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #691 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Peace and Justice Lyrics: 1 Behold a broken world, we pray,
where want and war increase,
and grant us, Lord, in this our day,
the ancient dream of peace:
2 a dream of swords to sickles bent,
of spears to scythe and spade,
the weapons of our warfare spent,
a world of peace remade;
3 where ev'ry battle flag is furled
and ev'ry trumpet stilled,
where wars shall cease in all the world,
a waking dream fulfilled.
4 No force of arms shall there prevail
nor justice cease its sway;
nor shall their loftiest visions fail
the dreamers of the day.
5 O Prince of peace, who died to save,
a lost world to redeem,
and rose in triumph from the grave,
behold our waking dream.
6 Bring, Lord, your better world to birth,
your kingdom, love's domain;
where peace with God, and peace on earth,
and peace eternal reign. Scripture: Isaiah 2:1-4 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. STEPHEN
