Christ is alive! Let Christians sing
Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #416 (2005) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Unity of Humanity Lyrics: 1 Christ is alive! Let Christians sing.
The cross stands empty to the sky.
Let streets and homes with praises ring.
Love, drowned in death, shall never die.
2 Christ is alive! No longer bound
to distant years in Palestine,
but saving, healing, here and now,
and touching every place and time.
3 In every insult, rift, and war,
where colour, scorn, or wealth divide,
Christ suffers still, yet loves the more,
and lives, where even hope has died.
4 Women and men, in age and youth,
can feel the Spirit, hear the call,
and find the way, the life, the truth,
revealed in Jesus, freed for all.
5 Christ is alive, and comes to bring
good news to this and every age,
till earth and sky and ocean ring
with joy, with justice, love, and praise. Scripture: Acts 9:5 Languages: English Tune Title: OLD CLARENDONIAN

Lord, our Lord, your glorious name
Hymnal: Together in Song #3 (1999) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Unity of Humanity Lyrics: 1 Lord, our Lord, your glorious name
all your wondrous works proclaim;
in the heavens with radiant signs
evermore your glory shines.
2 Lips of infants you ordain
wrath and vengeance to restrain;
weakest means fulfil your will,
mighty enemies to still.
3 Moon and stars in shining height
nightly tell their Maker's might;
when I see your heavens afar
then I know how weak we are.
4 What is humankind that we
should be cared for lovingly,
raised by you to angels' height,
crowned with honour in your sight?
5 As creation's crown we stand
over creatures of your hand,
all the fish and birds and beasts
in the field and air and seas.
6 Lord, our Lord, your glorious name
all your wondrous works proclaim;
yours the name of matchless worth,
excellent in all the earth.
