This Is My Father's World
Author: Maltbie D. Babcock; Mary Babcock Crawford Hymnal: With Heart and Voice #114 (1989) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Topics: The Church in the World Lyrics: 1 This is my Father's world,
and to my listening ears
all nature sings and round me rings
the music of the spheres.
This is my Father's world;
I rest me in the thought
of rocks and trees, of skies and seas
his hand the wonders wrought.
3 This is my Father's world:
he shines in all that's fair;
in rustling grass I hear him pass
he speaks to me everywhere.
This is my Father's world:
why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King, let heaven ring!
God reigns; let earth be glad.

When Will People Cease Their Fighting?
Author: Constance Cherry Hymnal: Voices United #687 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Church in the World Commitment: Peace and Justice Lyrics: 1 When will people cease their fighting?
When will armies wage no war,
nations conquer not their neighbour,
weapons idle, used no more?
When will guns and bombs be silent?
When will captives be set free?
All creation groans in longing
for the world's true liberty.
2 Floods and earthquakes, drought and famine
plague the world with awesome ill,
but far greater is war's horror
caused by human, stubborn will.
Blest are those who, working, praying,
purpose in their hearts to be
instruments of peace, committed
to the nations' harmony.
3 As we strive for peace with vigour,
hoping to be shown the way,
we are strengthened in the knowledge
of a future, perfect day;
for we know that deeper, richer
peace is ours when Christ shall reign:
then will all our swords be plowshares
and God's children free from pain. Languages: English Tune Title: AUSTRIAN HYMN

O God of Every Nation

of every race and land,
redeem the 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 Give strength to those who labour
that all may find release
from fear of rattling sabre,
from dread of war's increase;
when hope and courage falter,
your still small 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 peace on earth shall reign
and Christ shall rule victorious
o'er all the world's domain. Tune Title: LLANGLOFFAN

Isaiah the Prophet Has Written of Old
Author: Joy F. Patterson Hymnal: Voices United #680 (1996) Meter: 11.8.11.8 D Topics: The Church in the World Commitment: Peace and Justice Lyrics: 1 Isaiah the prophet has written of old
how God's new creation 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 sea.
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 tree grow wild.
God, bring to fruition your will for the earth,
that no one shall hurt or destroy,
when wisdom and justice shall reign in the land
and your people shall go forth in joy. Languages: English Tune Title: SAMANTHRA

even when steeples are falling;
Christ builds his church in every land;
bells still are chiming and calling,
calling the young and old to rest,
calling the souls of those distressed,
longing for life everlasting.
2 Not in a temple made with hands
God the Almighty is dwelling;
high in the heavens his temple stands,
all earthly temples excelling.
Yet he who dwells in heaven above
chooses to live with us in love,
making our bodies his temple.
3 We are God's house of living stones,
built for his own habitation;
he fills our hearts, his humble thrones,
granting us life and salvation.
Yet to this place, an earthly frame,
we come with thanks to praise his name;
God grants his people true blessing.
