Great God of earth and heaven

Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great God of earth and heaven whose Spirit is our breath, at Christmas-time born human, at Easter shared our death; all-generous, all loving, in whom all beauty thrives - forgive your sons and daughters the comfort of our lives. 2 While refugees go homeless and die before they live, while children have no future - our apathy forgive! Where hope fades to depression, despair erodes the soul, restore in us a passion to make the broken whole. 3 Where hunger kills your people, injustice cries aloud, while weapons grow more lethal and only power stands proud - God of our flesh and fiber, whose mercy does not cease, implant your mind within us, create a world for peace!

Light of the minds that know him

Author: Augustine (354-430); Timothy Dudley-Smith (born 1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Light of the minds that know him, may Christ be light to mine! my sun in risen splendour, my light of truth divine; my guide in doubt and darkness, my true and living way, my clear light ever shining, my dawn of heaven's day. 2 Life of the souls that love him, may Christ be ours indeed! the living bread from heaven on whom our spirits feed; who died for love of sinners to bear our guilty load, and make of life's brief journey a new Emmaus road. 3 Strength of the wills that serve him, may Christ be strength to me, who stilled the storm and tempest, who calmed the tossing sea; his Spirit's power to move me, his will to master mine, his cross to carry daily and conquer in his sign. 4 May it be ours to know him that we may truly love, and loving, fully serve him as serve the saints above; till in that home of glory with fadeless splendour bright, we serve in perfect freedom our strength, our life, our light.
