God in Whose Memory No One Is Lost (Forget-Me-Not Hymn)

Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: NHOH #81 Meter: 10.7.10.10 First Line: God in whose memory no one is lost Lyrics: 1 God in whose memory no one is lost, love that will seek and will find, do not forget us when we forget you, when we know fear in the mists of the mind. 2 Faces and places familiar are gone, clouds of unknowing descend, do not forget us when we forget you, cared-for and carer have need of a friend. 3 Help us accept what we cannot repair, though our hearts hunger and ache, do not forget us when we forget you, give us the strength not to flinch or forsake. 4 Memories moved to a world of their own test all our faithful belief: do not forget us when we forget you, help us, each one in this shadow of grief. 5 Give us the grace of true kindness and touch, patience to stay on this road, do not forget us when we forget you, Spirit of Jesus, compassion of God.

God Is Still Speaking

Author: Barbara Hamm Hymnal: NHOH #82 Meter: 11.12.12.12 First Line: God is still speaking when children beg for bread Lyrics: 1. God is still speaking when children beg for bread, roaming through city streets, their innocence long dead. How can we close our eyes, complacent in our greed? God, move our hearts of stone to serve a world in need. 2. God is still speaking when exiles cry in pain, forced from their homelands or enslaved for others' gain. How can we leave them to endure the wounds of hate? God, use our broken hearts, a new world to create. 3. God is still speaking when people pray for peace, seeing, through eyes of faith, the day when war will cease. How can we cling to hate as God's name we confess?

God, Let Your Gathering Note Be Sounded

Author: John Core Hymnal: NHOH #83 Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Lyrics: 1 God, let your gathering note be sounded, help us find voice and stir our hearts, that here by this great cloud surrounded our souls may test and tune their parts: sounds of each gender, generation, now blending in the holy air may praise you in the congregation, and to the earth your name declare. 2 With age-old words and tunes persistent we link ourselves to history, to songs remote in deserts distant, Moses and Miriam by the sea; to David's harp, the prophets' yearning, to Christmas angels in the gloom, glad tunes for prodigal's returning, a hallel in the upper room. 3 And through our worship now is coursing new song for you, both word and tone, as joy breaks forth, faith reinforcing: like cool springs bursting out of stone; or flowing with earth's tides and currents the music of some far-off place, new-flavored, still gives us assurance of God's refreshing love and grace. 4 Riches of old that we inherit, new treasures forged in our own time, the psalms and hymns, songs of the Spirit, the simple, subtle, and sublime, held in the heart, sometimes forgotten, or new-found on this morning's air: these are all sounds we hold in common, in witness of the faith we share. 5 These sounds of faith are calling, leading, they summon us through prayer and praise, on past this hour of song and meeting, on to the work of coming days. So, God, now tune as we enter, and be among us as we sing, your gathering not shall be the center whence all our work and music spring. Topics: Music and Singing Languages: English

God's Glory Fills the Heavens with Hymns

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Hymnal: NHOH #89 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Lyrics: God's glory fills the heavens with hymns, the domed sky bears the Maker's mark; new praises sound from day to day and echo through the knowing dark. Without a word their songs roll on, into all lands their voices run. And with a champion's strength and grace from farthest heaven comes forth the sun. God's perfect law revives the soul; its precepts make the simple wise; its just commands rejoice the heart; its truth gives light unto the eyes. For ever shall this law endure: unblemished, righteous, true, complete. No gold was ever found so fine, no honey in the comb more sweet. God's servant may I ever be: this world my joy, that word my guide. O cleanse me, Lord, from secret sin: deliver me from selfish pride. Accept my thoughts and words and deeds: let them find favor in your sight. For you alone can make me whole, O Lord, my refuge and my might.
