I Know My Sin and Weakness
Author: Mrs. S. K. Bourne Hymnal: Gloria Deo #624 (1901) Topics: Christian Race Refrain First Line: This is my chief endeavor Lyrics: 1 I know my sin and weakness,
My faults and follies too,

And seeking things that are before,
I will press on to win the prize
That waits for me beyond the skies!

Since Thou hast died my debt to pay,
Since Thou hast washed my sins away,
I trust Thy blood and righteousness,
And t’ward the prize I onward press. [Refrain]

Since Thou hast shed Thy blood for me,
I consecrate my life to Thee;
And trust Thy mercy and Thy grace
To help me on to win the race. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I know my sin and weakness]
I Know My Sin and Weakness
Awake, our souls! away, our fears!
Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #655 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Heavenly Race Lyrics: 1 Awake, our souls! away, our fears!
Let every trembling thought be done;
Awake, and run the heavenly race,
And put a cheerful courage on.
2 True, 'tis a strait and thorny road,
And mortal spirits tire and faint;
But they forget the mighty God,
Who feeds the strength of every saint.
3 The mighty god, whose matchless power
Is ever new, and ever young,
And firm endures while endless years
Their everlasting circles run.
4 From thee, the overflowing spring,
Our souls shall drink a full supply;
While such as trust their native strength,
Shall melt away, and droop, and die.
5 Swift as an eagle cuts the air,
We'll mount aloft to thine abode;
On wings of love our souls shall fly,
Nor tire amid the heavenly road. Scripture: Isaiah 40:29-31
Awake, our souls! away, our fears!

Christ is its life, and Christ its love.

your all in all eternally. Languages: English Tune Title: PENTECOST

For the Healing of the Nations
Author: Fred Kaan Hymnal: Voices United #678 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Race Relations Lyrics: 1 For the healing of the nations,
God, 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. Languages: English Tune Title: WESTMINSTER ABBEY

in him no south or north,
but one great fellowship of love
throughout the whole wide earth.

their high communion find;
his service is the golden cord
close binding humankind.
3 Join hands, disciples of the faith,
whate'er your race may be!
Who serves my Father as his child
is surely kin to me.
4 In Christ now meet both east and west;
in him meet north and south;
all Christly souls are one in him
throughout the whole wide earth.

The City Is Alive, O God
Author: William W. Reid Jr Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #278 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Race Relations Lyrics: 1 The city is alive, O God,
with sound of hustling feet,
with rapid change and flashing lights
that pulse through every street;
but oft there's inhumanity
behind the bright facade,
and throngs with empty, hungering hearts
cry out for help, O God.
2 Is it your will, O loving God,
that races live in strife,
that loneliness and greed and hate
should mark a city's life?
Do you desire one person's wealth
to keep another poor?
Must crime and slums and lust abound?
O Lord, is there no cure?
3 In Galilee the people heard
your servant Christ declare
through healing touch, through word and cross,
the good news of your care.
He said your heart touched every heart
that longed for peace and right,
that those bowed down by burdens borne
could find your life, your light.
4 O God, inspire your church today
to take Christ's servant role,
to love the world, to hear its claims
to sense its yearning soul,
to live within the marketplace,
to serve both weak and strong,
to lose itself, to share its dream,
to give the world its song. Scripture: Matthew 10:39 Languages: English Tune Title: STAR OF COUNTY DOWN
The City Is Alive, O God
God, Whose Giving Knows No Ending
Author: Robert L. Edwards Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #876 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Race Relations Lyrics: 1 God, whose giving knows no ending,
from your rich and endless store:
nature's wonder, Jesus' wisdom,
costly cross, grave's shattered door;
gifted by you, we turn to you,
offering up ourselves in praise;
thankful songs shall rise forever,
gracious donor of our days.
2 Skills and time are ours for pressing
toward the goals of Christ, your Son:
all at peace in health and freedom,
races joined, the church made one.
Now direct our daily labor,
lest we strive for self alone;
born with talents, make us servants
fit to answer at your throne.
3 Treasure, too, you have entrusted,
gain through powers your grace conferred;
ours to use for home and kindred,
and to spread the gospel word.
Open wide our hands in sharing,
as we heed Christ's ageless call,
healing, teaching, and reclaiming,
serving you by loving all. Scripture: James 1:5 Languages: English Tune Title: BEACH SPRING
God, Whose Giving Knows No Ending
Lord! what a wretched Land is this
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.LIII (1766) Topics: Christian Race Lyrics: 1 Lord! what a wretched Land is this,
That yields us no Supply;
No chearing Fruits, no wholesome Trees,
Nor Streams of living Joy.
2 But pricking Thorns through all the Ground,
And mortal Poisons grow,
And all the Rivers that are found,
With dang'rous Waters flow.
3 Yet the dear Path to thine Abode
Lies through this horrid Land,
Lord! we would keep the heav'nly Road,
And run at thy Command.
[4 Our Souls shall tread the Desart through
With undiverted Feet;
And Faith and flaming Zeal subdue
The Terrors that we meet.]
[5 A thousand savage Beasts of Prey
Around the Forest roam,
But Judah's Lion guards the Way,
And guides the Strangers Home.]
[6 Long Nights and Darkness dwell below,
With scarce a twinkling Ray;
But the bright World to which we go
Is everlasting Day.]
[7 By glimmering Hopes and gloomy Fears
We trace the sacred Road;
Thro' dismal Deeps and dang'rous Snares
We make our Way to God.]
8 Our Journey is a thorny Maze,
But we march upward still,
Forget these Troubles of the Ways,
And reach at Sion's Hill.
[9 See the kind Angels at the Gates,
Inviting us to come;
There Jesus the Fore-runner waits
To welcome Trav'lers Home.]
10 There on a green and flow'ry Mount
Our weary Souls shall sit,
And with transporting Joys recount
The Labours of our Feet.
[11 No vain Discourse shall fill our Tongue,
Nor Trifles vex our Ear,
Infinite Grace shall be our Song,
And God rejoice to hear.]
12 Eternal Glories to the King
That brought us safely through;
Our Tongue shall never cease to sing,
And endless Praise renew. Languages: English
Lord! what a wretched Land is this
