heal our wounds hat we may be
bound as one beyond division
in the struggle to be free.

in the foremost files of time.

of that spirit has not set;
ancient founts of inspiration
well through all our fancies yet;
and we doubt not through the ages
one increasing purpose runs,
and the thoughts of all are widened
with the process of the suns.
3 Yea, we dip into the future,
far as human eye can see,
see the vision of the world,
and all the wonder that shall be,
hear the war-drum throb no longer,
see the battle flags all furled,
in the parliament of freedom,
federation of the world. Languages: English Tune Title: HYMN TO JOY

O Young and Fearless Prophet
Author: S. Ralph Harlow, 1885-1972 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #276 (1993) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Peace and War Lyrics: 1 O young and fearless Prophet
of ancient Galilee:
your life is still a summons
to serve humanity,
to make our thoughts and actions
less prone to please the crowd,
to stand with humble courage
for truth with hearts unbowed.
2 O help us stand unswerving
against war's bloody way,
where hate and lust and falsehood
hold back your holy sway;
forbid false love of country,
that turns us from your call
who lifts above the nation
the neighborhood of all.
3 Create in us the splendor
that dawns when hearts are kind,
that knows not race nor station
as bound'ries of the mind;
that learns to value beauty,
in heart, or mind, or soul,
and longs to see God's children
as sacred, perfect, whole.
4 Stir up in us a protest
against unneeded wealth;
for some go starved and hungry
who plead for work and health.
Once more give us your challenge
above our noisy day,
and come to lead us forward
along your holy way.

and vesper hymn and vesper prayer
rise mingling on the holy air.
2 May struggling hearts that seek release
here find the rest of God's own peace:
and, strengthened here by hymn and prayer,
lay down the burden and the care.
3 Life's tumult we must meet again;
we cannot at the shrine remain;
but in the spirit's secret cell
may hymn and prayer forever dwell.

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.

en Cristo, su Señor.
Haciéndola su esposa,
del cielo descendió,
y por su propia sangre
su libertad compró.

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.

no cesan en su orar,

serena en su visión;
al fin, ya victoriosa,
la iglesia terrenal
recibe como premio
descanso celestial.

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.

It Came upon a Midnight Clear
Author: Edmund H. Sears Hymnal: Voices Together #248 (2020) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Peace Conflict and War Lyrics: 1 It came upon a midnight clear,
that glorious song of old,
from angels bending near the earth
to touch their harps of gold:
“Peace on the earth, good will to all
from heaven’s gracious King.”
The world in solemn stillness lay,
to hear the angels sing.
2 Still through the cloven skies they come,
with peaceful wings unfurled,
and still their heav’nly music floats
o’er all the weary world.
Above its sad and lowly plains
they bend on hov’ring wing,
and ever o’er its Babel sounds
the blessed angels sing.
3 Yet with the woes of sin and strife,
the world has suffered long;
beneath the heav’nly hymn have rolled
two thousand years of wrong,
and warring humankind hears not
the tidings which they bring.
O hush the noise and cease your strife
and hear the angels sing.
4 And you, beneath life's crushing load,
whose forms are bending low,
who toil along the climbing way
with painful steps and slow:
Look now! for glad and golden hours
come swiftly on the wing.
O rest beside the weary road,
and hear the angels sing.
5 For lo, the days are hast’ning on,
by prophet bards foretold,
when with the ever-circling years
comes round the age of gold,
when peace shall over all the earth
its ancient splendors fling,
and all the world sends back the song
which now the angels sing. Scripture: Luke 2:8-20 Tune Title: CAROL

through all eternity.
2 Crown him the Lord of life,
who triumphed o’er the grave
and rose victorious in the strife
for those he came to save.
His glories now we sing
who died, and rose on high,
who died, eternal life to bring,
and lives that death may die.
3 Crown him the Lord of love;
behold his hands and side.
Rich wounds, yet visible above,
in beauty glorified.
No angels in the sky
can fully bear that sight,
but downward bend their burning eyes
at mysteries so bright.
4 Crown him the Lord of peace,
whose pow’r a scepter sways
from pole to pole that wars may cease,
absorbed in prayer and praise.
His reign shall know no end;
and round his pierced feet
fair flow’rs of paradise extend
their fragrance ever sweet.
5 Crown him the Lord of years,
the potentate of time,
creator of the rolling spheres,
ineffably sublime.
All hail, Redeemer, hail!
for thou hast died for me.
Thy praise shall never, never fail
throughout eternity. Scripture: Psalm 45:2-7 Tune Title: DIADEMATA

3 Cure thy children’s warring madness;
bend our pride to thy control;
shame our wanton, selfish gladness,
rich in things and poor in soul.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
lest we miss thy kingdom’s goal,
lest we miss thy kingdom’s goal.
4 Save us from weak resignation
to the evils we deplore.
Let the search for thy salvation
be our glory evermore.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
serving thee whom we adore,
serving thee whom we adore. Scripture: Esther 4:14 Tune Title: CWM RHONDDA

O Who Will Speak for Justice
Not by the brazen trumpet's voice
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #44 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: War and peace Lyrics:
Not by the brazen trumpet's voice,
But the sweet sky-lark's early lay,
Our tribes are summoned, to rejoice
In God their Saviour on this day.
Not to the battle-field we throng
With deadly steel in murderous hands,
But on our hill of peace the song
Of triumph bursts from all our bands.
45
Then, in the temples of the Lord,
Assembling round a throne of grace
We sing, and pray, and hear the word,
And meet our Maker face to face.
Salvation's silver trumpet brings
Heaven's richest music to our ears;
Happy, whose heart with rapture springs,
At the first welcome note he hears.
He, when the last dread trumpet's tone
The dead to second life shall call,
May stand unmoved before the throne,
Though stars, like lightnings, round him fall.
He, where eternal sabbaths shine,
Where all by God himself are taught,
Lessons shall learn of truth divine,
Of power and love, surpassing thought.

our ever present aid,
and therefore, though the earth be moved,
we will not be afraid--
though hills into the seas be cast,
though foaming billows roar,
though all the mighty billows shake
the mountains on the shore.
2 A river flows whose streams make glad
the city of our God,
the holy place wherein the LORD
Most High has his abode.
Since God is in the midst of her,
unmoved her walls shall stand;
for God will hasten to her aid
when trouble is at hand.
3 The nations rage, the kingdoms move,
but when his voice was heard,
earth melts with trembling fear before
the thunder of his word.
The LORD of hosts is on our side,
our safety to secure;
the God of Jacob is for us
a refuge strong and sure.
4 O come and see what wondrous works
the hand of God has done;
come, see what desolation great
he brings beneath the sun.
In every corner of the earth
he causes wars to cease;
the weapons of the strong destroyed,
he makes abiding peace.
5 "Be still and know that I am God,
the LORD whom all must claim;
and every nation of the earth
shall magnify my name."
The LORD of hosts is on our side,
our safety to secure;
the God of Jacob is for us
a refuge strong and sure.
