Teach us, O loving heart of Christ

Lord, if faith is disenchanted

Author: Alan Gaunt (b. 1935) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #528 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: Justice and Peace Lyrics: 1 Lord, if faith is disenchanted, if our pain persists too long, show us that your love is planted deeper far than all time's wrong. 2 If we feel ourselves forsaken, overwhelmed by sin and grief, prove your love, though faith is shaken, deeper than our unbelief. 3 Where injustice and oppression make the poor and weak despair, prove your love's profound compassion, deeper than their deepest prayer. 4 When the children, Lord, are dying, anguished parents asking, 'Why?', prove your love, in grief and crying, deeper than grief's deepest cry. 5 Let the cross, your love's perfection, present with us all along, prove itself, in resurrection, deeper far than all time's wrong. Scripture: Isaiah 42:1-4 Languages: English Tune Title: OTTERY ST MARY

Pray for the Wilderness

Author: Dan Damon Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #557 (1995) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Justice and Peace First Line: Pray for the wilderness, vanishing vast Lyrics: 1 Pray for the wilderness, vanishing fast, pray for the rain forest, open and vast; Pray for the waterfalls, pray for the trees, pray for the planet brought down by degrees. 2 Learn from the elephant, eagle, and whale, learn from the dragonfly, spider, and snail; Learn from the people in neighboring lands, learn from the children who play in their sands. 3 Work for the justice created things need, work for the health of each plant and its seed; Work for the creatures abuse has betrayed, work for the garden God's wisdom once made. 4 Trust that God's Christ overcame nails and wood, trust that earth's people will turn to the good; Trust that creation forever will grow, trust that God's goodness to us overflows. 5 Pray for the atmosphere, pray for the sea, learn from the river, the rock, and the tree; Work till shalom in full harmony rings. Trust the connection of all living things. Languages: English Tune Title: WILDERNESS

Through All the World, a Hungry Christ

Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #587 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Justice and Peace Lyrics: 1 Through all the world, a hungry Christ must scavenge far for daily bread, Must beg the rich for crumb and crust - we are the rich, the daily fed. 2 Beyond the church, a leper Christ takes each untouchable by hand, Gives hope to those who have no trust, whose stigma is our social brand. 3 In torture cell, a prisoner Christ for justice and for truth must cry To free the innocent oppressed while we at liberty pass by. 4 We do not know you, beggar Christ, we do not recognize your sores, We do not see, for we are blind: forgive us, touch us, make us yours.

Spirit of Jesus, If I Love My Neighbor

Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #590 (1995) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Justice and Peace Lyrics: 1 Spirit of Jesus, if I love my neighbor, out of my knowledge, leisure, power or wealth, open my mind to understand the anger of helplessness that hates my power to help. 2 And if, when I have answered need with kindness, my neighbor rises, wakened from despair, open my heart to hear the cry of justice that struggles for the changes that I fear. 3 If I am hugging safety or possessions, uncurl my spirit, as your love prevails, to join my neighbors, work for liberation, and find my freedom at the mark of nails. Scripture: Romans 13:8-14 Languages: English Tune Title: BENJAMIN
