they go with exultation;

fills their life and soul and thought,
so their witness now can do
work as great in others too.

but still we have abiding
with us that Spirit Holy
to make us brave and lowly--
lowly, for we feel our need,
God alone is strong indeed;
brave, for with the Spirit's aid
we can venture unafraid.

fill us with inspiration!

yet for thee would bear witness.

to the heavenly Father praise:

make us know thee, ever One. Topics: Ascension; God--Holy Spirit Languages: English Tune Title: NAPHILL

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

when forest, rock and hill,
the beasts, the birds, the grass,
will know your finished will:
when man attains his destiny

2 Forgive our careless use
of water, ore and soil--
the plenty we abuse
supplied by others' toil:
save us from making self our creed,
turn us towards our brother's need.
3 Give us, when we release
creation's secret powers,
to harness them for peace--
our children's peace and ours:
teach us the art of mastering
which makes life rich and draws death's sting.

futile its present plight,
bound--till the hour it hails
the newfound sons of light
who enter on their true estate.

in sight or sound or printed page,
and let us greet you in our neighbours,
in flaming youth or quiet age.

will thaw the frozen heart of pride
and flash upon us through the shadows
to spread his resurrection wide.

beset by change but Spirit-led,
must claim and test her heritage
and keep on rising from the dead.
2 She has no mission but to serve,
in proud obedience to her Lord;
to care for all, without reserve,
to spread his liberating word.
3 Across a world, across the street,
the victims of injustice cry
for shelter and for bread to eat,
and never live before they die.
4 And all men suffer deeper ills:
for there's a fever in our blood
that prostitutes our human skills
and poisons all our brotherhood.
5 Then let the Servant Church arise,
a caring Church that longs to be
a partner in Christ's sacrifice,
and clothed in Christ's humanity.
6 For he alone, whose blood was shed,
can cure the fever in our blood,
and teach us how to share our bread
and feed the starving multitude. Topics: Church Mission; World and Society Justice and Peace Languages: English Tune Title: GREEN LAKE
