Creating God, We Give You Thanks
Author: William deWitt Hyde Hymnal: Voices United #292 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Vision/Dream Lyrics: 1 Creating God, we give you thanks
that this your world is incomplete;
that battle calls our marshalled ranks,
that work awaits our hands and feet.
2 You hast not finished woman, man,
for we are in the making still,
as friends who share the Maker’s plan
as those who know your loving will.
3 Beyond the present sin and shame,
wrong’s bitter, cruel, scorching blight,
we see the beckoning vision flame,
the blessèd kingdom of the right.
4 What though the kingdom long delay,
and still with haughty foes must cope?
It gives us that for which to pray,
a field for toil and faith and hope.
5 Since what we choose is what we are,
and what we love we yet shall be,
the goal may ever shine afar,
the will to win it makes us free. Tune Title: WAREHAM

The Church's One Foundation
Author: Samuel John Stone Hymnal: Voices United #332 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Vision/Dream Lyrics: 1 The Church's one foundation
is Jesus Christ her Lord;
she is his new creation
by water and the word:
from heaven 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 every 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 every grace endued.
3 'Mid toil and tribulation,
and tumult of her war
she waits the consummation
of peace for evermore;
till with the vision glorious
her longing eyes are blessed,
and the great Church victorious
shall be the Church at rest.
4 Yet she on earth hath 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,
on high may dwell with thee. Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA

Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life
Author: Frank Mason North Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #482 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Vision Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life,
where sound the cries of race and clan,
above the noise of selfish strife,
we hear thy voice, O Son of Man.
2 In haunts of wretchedness and need,
on shadowed thresholds dark with fears,
from paths where hide the lures of greed,
we catch the vision of thy tears.
3 The cup of water given for thee
still holds the freshness of thy grace;
yet long these multitudes to see
the sweet compassion of thy face.
4 O Master, from the mountain side,
make haste to heal these hearts of pain;
among these restless throngs abide,
O tread the city's streets again;
5 till all thy people know thy love,
and follow where thy feet have trod;
till glorious from thy heaven above
shall come the city of our God.

Eternal Spirit of the Living Christ
Author: Frank von Christierson Hymnal: Voices United #573 (1996) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Vision/Dream Lyrics: 1 Eternal Spirit of the living Christ,
I know not how to ask or what to say;
I only know my need, as deep as life,
and only you can teach me how to pray.
2 Come, pray in me the prayer I need this day;
help me to see your purpose and your will,
where I have failed, what I have done amiss;
held in forgiving love, let me be still.
3 Come with the vision and the strength I need
to serve my God, and all humanity;
fulfillment of my life in love outpoured --
my life in you, O Christ, your love in me. Languages: English Tune Title: SURSUM CORDA

Light's abode, celestial Salem
Author: Thomas à Kempis, c.1380-1471; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #610 (1997) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Vision / Dream Lyrics: 1 Light's abode, celestial Salem,
vision whence true peace doth spring,
brighter than the heart can fancy,
mansion of the highest King;
oh how glorious are the praises
which of thee the prophets sing.
2 There forever and forever
hallelujah is outpoured,
for unending, for unbroken
is the feast day of the Lord;
all is pure and all is holy
that within thy walls is stored.
3 There no cloud nor passing vapour
dims the brightness of the air;
endless noonday, glorious noonday,
from the Sun of suns is there;
there no night brings rest from labour,
for unknown are toil and care.
4 Oh how glorious and resplendent,
fragile body, shalt thou be,
when endued with so much beauty,
full of health, and strong and free,
full of vigour, full of pleasure
that shall last eternally.
5 Now with gladness, now with courage,
bear the burden on thee laid,
that hereafter these thy labours
may with endless gifts be paid,
and in everlasting glory
thou with joy mayst stand arrayed.

Your glory fills the night;

Shine with unborrowed light.

Your beauty to behold,
Where Moses and Elijah stand,
Your messengers of old.

We hail your body glorified,
And our redemption see.

We see your kingdom come;
We long to hold the vision bright,
And make this hill our home.

Yet we may not remain;
But since you bid us leave the mount,
Come with us to the plain. Scripture: Matthew 17:1-9 Languages: English Tune Title: SWABIA
