All who love and serve your city
Author: Erik Routley (b. 1917) Hymnal: NCP1975 #1a (1975) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: l All who love and serve your city,
all who bear its daily stress,
all who cry for peace and justice,
all who curse and all who bless,
2 in your day of loss and sorrow,
in your day of helpless strife,
honour, peace and love retreating,
seek the Lord, who is your life.
3 In your day of wealth and plenty,
wasted work and wasted play,
call to mind the word of Jesus,
'Work ye yet while it is day'.
4 For all days are days of judgment,
and the Lord is waiting still,
drawing near to men who spurn him,
offering peace from Calvary's hill.
5 Risen Lord! shall yet the city
be the city of despair ?
Come today, our Judge, our Glory;
be its name, 'The Lord is there!' Topics: City Languages: English Tune Title: BIRABUS

Although we cannot see, we believe

'Am I my brother's keeper?'
Author: John Ferguson (b. 1921) Hymnal: NCP1975 #2 (1975) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 'Am I my brother's keeper?'—
the muttered cry was drowned
by Abel's life-blood shouting
in silence from the ground.
For no man is an island
divided from the main,
the bell which tolled for Abel
tolled equally for Cain.
2 The ruler called for water
and thought his hands were clean.
Christ counted less than order,
the man than the machine.
The crowd cried, 'Crucify him!',
their malice wouldn't budge,
so Pilate called for water,
and history's his judge.
3 As long as people hunger,
as long as people thirst,
and ignorance and illness
and warfare do their worst,
as long as there's injustice
in any of God's lands,
I am my brother's keeper,
I dare not wash my hands. Topics: World and Society Justice and Peace Languages: English Tune Title: ABEL

As the bridegroom to his chosen
Author: John Tauler (1300-61); Emma Frances Bevan (1827-1909) Hymnal: NCP1975 #4 (1975) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6 Lyrics: 1 As the bridegroom to his chosen,
as the king unto his realm,
as the keep unto the castle,
as the pilot to the helm,
so, Lord, art thou to me.
2 As the fountain in the garden,
as the candle in the dark,
as the treasure in the coffer,
as the manna in the ark,
so, Lord, art thou to me.
3 As the music at the banquet,
as the stamp unto the seal,
as the medicine to the fainting,
as the wine-cup at the meal,
so, Lord, art thou to me.
4 As the ruby in the setting,
as the honey in the comb,
as the light within the lantern,
as the father in the home,
so, Lord, art thou to me.
5 As the sunshine in the heavens,
as the image in the glass,
as the fruit unto the fig-tree,
as the dew unto the grass,
so, Lord, art thou to me. Topics: God--the Father In whom we trust; God--in Jesus Christ His Love, Help, Healing Languages: English Tune Title: BRIDEGROOM
As the bridegroom to his chosen
As we break the bread
Author: Fred Kaan (b. 1929) Hymnal: NCP1975 #5 (1975) Meter: 5.6.6.4 Lyrics: 1 Awake from sleep, the night is spent!
The morning star moves up the sky:
the hosts of heaven, with sweet consent,
proclaim salvation's time is high.
Come, praise the long-implored,
our Saviour, Christ the Lord!
2 While man, the rather sin to choose,
prepares the purple, plants the thorn,
the Word of God our flesh endues
that we, by will of God reborn,
the sons of God may be
to all eternity.
3 Let regal power and humble beast
and shepherd, serving both, attend;
since all, from greatest unto least,
are proffered bliss which shall not end,
where spreads his banquet-board
our Saviour, Christ the Lord.
4 In Bethlehem, the House of Bread,
a richer harvest now is sown;
for none at Jesus' table fed
shall ever thirst or hunger own,
but shall from foes be free
to all eternity.
5 Greet the fulfilment of your dreams,
sad earth, by Adam's plague oppressed!
May he whose lowliness redeems
both north and south, both east and west,
now be by all adored,
our Saviour, Christ the Lord. Topics: Communion Languages: English Tune Title: PLATTS LANE

CHRIST, burning past all suns
Author: Ian Fraser (b. 1917) Hymnal: NCP1975 #8a (1975) Meter: 6.5.5.6.5.5 Lyrics: 1 CHRIST, burning past all suns,
stars beneath thy feet like leaves on forest floor:
MAN, turning spaceward, shuns
knowledge incomplete, fevered to explore.
2 CHRIST, holding atoms in one
loom of light and power to weave creation's life:
MAN, moulding rocket, gun,
turns creation sour, plots dissolving strife.
3 CHRIST, festive in gay bird,
rush of river flood, joy on lovers' part:
YOUTH, restive, seek new word,
beat of life in blood, chill of death in heart.
4 CHRIST, humble on our side,
snatching death's grim keys, ending Satan's scope:
WE gamble on our guide,
inch our gains of peace, work a work of hope. Topics: God--in Jesus Christ Hope of the World; Sin and Salvation Languages: English Tune Title: RODEL
CHRIST, burning past all suns
