Behold a Broken World
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #691 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Peace--Of the world 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

For the Healing of the Nations
Author: Fred Kaan Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #685 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Peace--Of the world Lyrics: 1 For the healing of the nations,
Lord, 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, Father, 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. Scripture: Micah 4:1-4 Languages: English Tune Title: FORTUNATUS NEW

Community of Christ
Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Hymnal: Together in Song #473 (1999) Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Topics: Peace of the World Lyrics: 1 Community of Christ,
who make the Cross your own,
live out your creed and risk your life
for God alone:
the God who wears your face,
to whom all worlds belong,
whose children are of every race
and every song.
2 Community of Christ,
look past the Church's door
and see the refugee, the hungry,
and the poor.
Take hands with the oppressed,
the jobless in your street,
take towel and water, that you wash
your neighbour's feet.
3 Community of Christ,
through whom the word must sound -
cry out for justice and for peace
the whole world round:
disarm the powers that war
and all that can destroy,
turn bombs to bread, and tears of anguish
into joy.
4 When menace melts away,
so shall God's will be done,
the climate of the world be peace
and Christ its Sun;
our currency be love
and kindliness our law,
our food and faith be shared as one
for evermore. Scripture: Matthew 8:8-17 Languages: English Tune Title: LEONI

Isaiah the Prophet Has Written of Old
Author: Joy F. Patterson Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #682 (1995) Meter: Irregular Topics: Peace--Of the world Lyrics: 1 Isaiah the prophet has written of old
how God's earthly kingdom 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 seas.
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 grow wild.
Lord, hasten to bring in your kingdom on earth,
when no one shall hurt or destroy,
when wisdom and justice shall reign in the land
and your people shall go forth in joy. Scripture: Isaiah 11:1-10 Languages: English Tune Title: SAMATHRA

O Christ, Who by a Cross
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #766 (1995) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Peace--Of the world First Line: O Christ, who by a cross made peace your sign Lyrics: 1 O Christ, who by a cross made peace your sign,
who gives your peace in water, bread and wine:
O Spirit Christ who is our spirit's home,
teach us the secret of the true shalom.
2 We speak of peace when in our hearts we war
and, unforgiving, keep our grudges sore;
we promise peace while yet we strive to win,
and in our enemy, see not our kin.
3 Two deaths now face the starving and the fed -
the blinding bomb, the simple lack of bread;
with riches of the earth at our command,
from weaponry to welcome, turn our hand.
4 The selfishness which is our human curse,
the arsenal of hatred which we nurse -
all are dispelled when in our hearts we say:
"There is no way to peace: peace is the way." Scripture: Jeremiah 31:27-34 Languages: English Tune Title: SURSUM CORDA
O Christ, Who by a Cross
Behold! the mountain of the Lord

in latter days shall rise
on mountain tops above the hills
and draw the wondering eyes.
2 To this the joyful nations round,
all tribes and tongues, shall flow;
up to the hill of God, they'll say,
and to his house we'll go.
3 The beam that shines from Zion hill
shall lighten every land;
the king who reigns in Salem's towers
shall all the world command.
4 Among the nations he shall judge;
his judgments truth shall guide;
his sceptre shall protect the just,
and quell the sinner’s pride.
5 No strife shall rage, nor hostile feuds
disturb those peaceful years;
to ploughshares men shall beat their swords,
to pruning-hooks their spears.
6 No longer hosts encountering hosts
shall crowds of slain deplore;
they hang the trumpet in the hall
pursuing war no more.
7 Come then, O house of Jacob! come
to worship at his shrine;
and, walking in the light of God,
with holy beauties shine. Scripture: Isaiah 2:1-10 Languages: English Tune Title: GLASGOW
