Never in all human story
Author: Joseph Pittman, 1842-1930 Hymnal: Together in Song #320 (1999) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: Peace of the World Lyrics: 1 Never in all human story
was a sight so wondrous seen,
Jesus Christ, the King of Glory,
cradled in a manger mean,
angel heralds in the sky,
lowly shepherds kneeling by.
2 Then the lamp of life was lighted,
brighter than the rising sun;
then were heaven and earth united,
peace of God on earth begun,
peace the troubled world to fill,
peace to those of holy will.
3 Prince of Peace! Your way before you
lies through nameless grief and pain:
death's dark shadow ever o'er you,
but it leads to highest reign:
glory that could never be,
but by way of Calvary. Scripture: Isaiah 9:2-7 Languages: English Tune Title: BETHLEHEM

Isaiah the Prophet Has Written of Old
Author: Joy F. Patterson Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #682 (1995) Meter: Irregular Topics: Peace--Of the world Lyrics: 1 Isaiah the prophet has written of old
how God's earthly kingdom shall come.
Instead of the thorn tree the fir tree shall grow;
the wolf shall lie down with the lamb.
The mountains and hills shall break forth into song,
the peoples be led forth in peace;
for the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of God
as the waters cover the seas.
2 Yet nations still prey on the meek of the world,
and conflict turns parent from child.
Your people despoil all the sweetness of earth;
the brier and the thorn grow wild.
Lord, hasten to bring in your kingdom on earth,
when no one shall hurt or destroy,
when wisdom and justice shall reign in the land
and your people shall go forth in joy. Scripture: Isaiah 11:1-10 Languages: English Tune Title: SAMATHRA

O Christ, Who by a Cross
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #766 (1995) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Peace--Of the world First Line: O Christ, who by a cross made peace your sign Lyrics: 1 O Christ, who by a cross made peace your sign,
who gives your peace in water, bread and wine:
O Spirit Christ who is our spirit's home,
teach us the secret of the true shalom.
2 We speak of peace when in our hearts we war
and, unforgiving, keep our grudges sore;
we promise peace while yet we strive to win,
and in our enemy, see not our kin.
3 Two deaths now face the starving and the fed -
the blinding bomb, the simple lack of bread;
with riches of the earth at our command,
from weaponry to welcome, turn our hand.
4 The selfishness which is our human curse,
the arsenal of hatred which we nurse -
all are dispelled when in our hearts we say:
"There is no way to peace: peace is the way." Scripture: Jeremiah 31:27-34 Languages: English Tune Title: SURSUM CORDA
O Christ, Who by a Cross

Behold! the mountain of the Lord
Hymnal: Together in Song #441 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Peace of the World Lyrics: 1 Behold! the mountain of the Lord
in latter days shall rise
on mountain tops above the hills
and draw the wondering eyes.
2 To this the joyful nations round,
all tribes and tongues, shall flow;
up to the hill of God, they'll say,
and to his house we'll go.
3 The beam that shines from Zion hill
shall lighten every land;
the king who reigns in Salem's towers
shall all the world command.
4 Among the nations he shall judge;
his judgments truth shall guide;
his sceptre shall protect the just,
and quell the sinner’s pride.
5 No strife shall rage, nor hostile feuds
disturb those peaceful years;
to ploughshares men shall beat their swords,
to pruning-hooks their spears.
6 No longer hosts encountering hosts
shall crowds of slain deplore;
they hang the trumpet in the hall
pursuing war no more.
7 Come then, O house of Jacob! come
to worship at his shrine;
and, walking in the light of God,
with holy beauties shine. Scripture: Isaiah 2:1-10 Languages: English Tune Title: GLASGOW
Behold! the mountain of the Lord

O God of every nation
Author: William Watkins Reid, 1923- Hymnal: Together in Song #621 (1999) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Peace of the World Lyrics: 1 O God of every nation,
of every race and land,
redeem your whole creation
with your almighty hand;
where hate and fear divide us,
and bitter threats are hurled,
in love and mercy guide us
and heal our strife-torn world.
2 From search for wealth and power
and scorn of truth and right,
from trust in bombs that shower
destruction through the night,
from pride of race and nation
and blindness to your way,
deliver every nation,
eternal God, we pray.
3 Lord, strengthen all who labour
that all may find release
from fear of rattling saber,
from dread of war's increase;
when hope and courage falter,
Lord, let your voice be heard;
with faith that none can alter
your servants undergird.
4 Keep bright in us the vision
of days when war shall cease,
when hatred and division
give way to love and peace,
till dawns the morning glorious
when truth and justice reign,
and Christ shall rule victorious
o'er all the world's domain. Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:6-10 Languages: English Tune Title: CRAIGMILLAR
O God of every nation
