The Peace Not Past Our Understanding
Author: John Holmes, 1904-1962 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 The peace not past our understanding
falls like light upon the soft white tablecloth
at winter supper warm between four walls,
a thing too simple to be tried as truth.
2 Not scholar’s calm, nor gift of church or state,
nor everlasting date of death’s release;
but careless noon, the houses lighted late,
harvest and holiday: the people’s peace.
3 Days into years, the doorways worn at sill,
years into lives, the plans for long increase
come true at last for those of God’s good will:
these are the things we mean by saying, Peace. Topics: Words and Deeds of Prophetic Women and Men Peace; Serenity Used With Tune: SURSUM CORDA

and took a towel and chose a servant's part,
so for today, Lord, wash again my feet,
who in your mercy died to cleanse my heart.

to hear again the words of love you said;
and at your table, as your honored guest,
I take and eat the true and living bread.

I come to praise you for your grace divine;
Saved by your cross, and subject to your crown,
strengthened for service by this bread and wine. Topics: Hymns and Spiritual Songs Lent, Holy Week, and Easter Scripture: John 13:1-20 Used With Tune: SURSUM CORDA

Author: Rabindranath Tagore, 1861-1941 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Now I recall my childhood when the sun Lyrics: 1 Now I recall my childhood when the sun
burst to my bedside with the day’s surprise;
faith in the marvelous bloomed anew each dawn,
flowers bursting fresh within my heart each day.
2 Then looking on the world with simple joy,
on insects, birds, and beasts, and common weeds,
the grass and clouds had fullest wealth of awe;
my mother’s voice gave meaning to the stars.
3 Now when I turn to think of coming death,
I find life’s song in star-songs of the night,
in rise of curtains and new morning light,
in life reborn in fresh surprise of love. Topics: Wisdom from the World's Religions Our Common Ground; Change; Children; Elders; Parents; Seasons and Cycles Used With Tune: SURSUM CORDA Text Sources: Recast, based on poem LXXI in Tagores Crossing

Author: Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945); Alan Gaunt (1935-) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 People draw near to God in their distress,
pleading for help and begging peace and bread,
rescue from guilt and sickness, nearly dead.
Christian or not, all come in helplessness.
2 People draw near when they see God's distress:
find God rejected, homeless, without bread,
burdened with sin and weakness, nearly dead.
Christians reach out to meet God's wretchedness.
3 And God draws near to people in distress,
feeding their souls and bodies with his bread;
Christian or not, for both he's hanging dead,
forgiving, from the cross, their wickedness. Topics: Holy Week (Good Friday) Scripture: Psalm 69 Used With Tune: SURSUM CORDA
