For All the World
Author: Margaret Clarkson Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #629 (1995) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Redemption of humankind First Line: For all the world Christ died to purchase pardon Lyrics: 1 For all the world Christ died to purchase pardon,
for all the world, exalted now, he prays;
his risen life avails for all earth's people -
how few yet know his word and walk his ways!
2 With all the world the church must share Christ's message,
his word of light, forgiveness, freedom, grace:
not ours alone the glad release he offers -
his love embraces all his human race.
3 In all our world, wherever God may place us,
at home, abroad, in farthest parts of earth,
our highest joy must be to serve our Savior,
and all we are must speak his pow'r and worth.
4 In all our world - in fact'ry, shop or schoolroom,
in kitchen, boardroom, market, office, mill,
we each must make our witness known with boldness -
God's Spirit works through mortal mind and will.
5 Lord, make us strong to live your gospels fulness,
through sin's long strife, for Christ to take our place,
till all your world shall bow as one before you,
to see, adore, and serve you face to face! Scripture: John 17 Languages: English Tune Title: WELWYN
For All the World
Behold a Broken World
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #691 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Redemption of humankind 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
Behold a Broken World
Come, Thou Fount of Ev'ry Blessing
Author: Robert Robinson Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #782 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Redemption of humankind Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Fount of ev'ry blessing,
tune my heart to sing thy grace;
streams of mercy, never ceasing,
call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount - I'm fixed upon it -
mount of God's redeeming love.
2 Here I find my greatest treasure;
hither by thy help I've come;
and I hope, by thy good pleasure,
safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wand'ring from the fold of God;
he, to rescue me from danger,
bought me with his precious blood.
3 O, to grace how great a debtor
daily I'm constrained to be!
Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter,
bind my wand'ring heart to thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love;
here's my heart, O take and seal it;
seal it for thy courts above. Scripture: Psalm 36:5-10 Languages: English Tune Title: NETTLETON
Come, Thou Fount of Ev'ry Blessing
