Ring Out, Wild Bells
Author: Alfred Lord Tennyson, 1809-1892 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #58 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Peace and War First Line: Ring out, wild bells, to the wild, wild sky Lyrics: 1 Ring out, wild bells, to the wild, wild sky,
the flying cloud, the frosty light:
the year is dying in the night;
ring out, wild bells, and let it die.
2 Ring out the old, ring in the new,
ring, happy bells, across the snow:
the year is going, let it go;
ring out the false, ring in the true.
3 Ring out the grief that saps the mind
for those that here we see no more;
ring out the feud of rich and poor;
ring in redress to humankind.
4 Ring out false pride in place and blood,
the civic slander and the spite;
ring in the love of truth and right;
ring in the common love of good.

perish the angry judgment,
perish the bombs and hunger,
perish the fight for gain.

open our hearts to wonder,
perish the way of terror,
hallow the world God made. Languages: English Tune Title: CONCORD

Forgive, Forgive Us, Holy God
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: Voices Together #149 (2020) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Peace Conflict and War 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
Gentle God, When We Are Driven
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: Voices Together #150 (2020) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: Peace Conflict and War Lyrics: 1 Gentle God, when we are driven
past the limits of our love,
when our hurt would have a weapon
and the hawk destroy the dove,
at the cost of seeming weak,
help us turn the other cheek.
2 Gentle Spirit, when our reason
clouds in anger, twists in fear,
when we strike instead of soothing,
when we bruise and sting and smear,
cool our burning, take our pain,
bring us to ourselves again.
3 In the mirror of earth’s madness
let us see our ravaged face,
in the turmoil of all people
let compassion find a place,
touch our hearts to make amends,
see our enemies as friends.
4 Let our strength be in forgiving
as forgiven we must be,
one to one in costly loving,
finding trust and growing free,
gentle God, be our release,
gentle Spirit, teach us peace. Scripture: Isaiah 50:4-9 Tune Title: TAWA
Gentle God, When We Are Driven

Comfort, Comfort, O My People
Author: Johannes Olearius; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Voices Together #212 (2020) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Topics: Peace Conflict and War First Line: Comfort, comfort O my people Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort, O my people,
speak of peace, now says our God.
Comfort those who sit in shadows,
mourning ’neath their sorrows’ load.
Speak unto Jerusalem
of the peace that waits for them.
Tell of all the sins I cover,
and that warfare now is over.
2 Hark, the voice of one who’s crying
in the desert far and near,
bidding all to full repentance,
since the kingdom now is here.
Oh, that warning cry obey!
Now prepare for God a way!
Valleys, rise in exaltation;
hills, bow down in adoration.
3 O make straight what long was crooked,
make the rougher places plain.
Let your hearts be true and humble,
as befits a holy reign.
For the glory of our God
now o’er earth is shed abroad.
And all flesh shall see the token
that God’s word is never broken. Scripture: Isaiah 40:1-5 Tune Title: GENEVA 42 (FREU DICH SEHR)

The Church's One Foundation (Un solo fundamento)
Author: Samuel J. Stone, 1839-1900; Lefferd M. A. Haughwout, 1873-1952 Hymnal: Santo, Santo, Santo #233 (2019) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Church; Iglesia; Communion of the Saints; Comunión de los Santos; Jesucristo Piedra Angular; Jesus Christ Cornerstone; Paz; Peace; Victory; Victoria; Violence and War; Violencia y Guerra Lyrics: 1 The church's one foundation
Is Jesus Christ, her Lord;
She is his new creation
By water and the word.
From heav'n he came and sought her
To be his holy bride;
With his own blood he bought her,
And for her life he died.
2 Elect from ev'ry nation,
Yet one o'er all the earth;
Her charter of salvation:
One Lord, one faith, one birth.
One holy name she blesses,
Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses
With ev'ry grace endued.
3 Though with a scornful wonder
this world sees her oppressed,
By schisms rent asunder,
By heresies distressed,
Yet saints their watch are keeping;
Their cry goes up: “How long?”
And soon the night of weeping
Shall be the morn of song.
4 Mid toil and tribulation
And tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation
Of peace forevermore:
Till with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blessed,
And the great church victorious
Shall be the church at rest.
5 Yet she on earth has union
With God, the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion
With those whose rest is won.
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we,
Like them, the meek and lowly,
May live eternally.

1 Un solo fundamento
y un sólo un fundador
la santa iglesia tiene
en Cristo, su Señor.
Haciéndola su esposa,
del cielo descendió,
y por su propia sangre
su libertad compró.
2 Aunque es de muchas razas,
disfruta de unidad:
sólo una fe confiesa
en santa caridad;
es uno su bautismo,
un pan de santidad;
por gracia siempre espera
una felicidad.
3 El mundo la contempla
pasmado y con desdén:
de cismas desgarrada,
de error y por vaivén.
Mas *santos de vigilia
no cesan en su orar,
y pronto por la noche
oirán gozo y cantar.
4 Cercada de tumultos,
de guerra y confusión,
la paz eterna espera,
serena en su visión;
al fin, ya victoriosa,
la iglesia terrenal
recibe como premio
descanso celestial.
5 Mas ella aquí disfruta
celeste comunión
con Dios y con los santos
en paz y perfección.
Jesús, cabeza nuestra,
concéde por tu amor
que siempre contemplemos
tu rostro, Redentor.
