He has made known his great salvation which all his friends with joy confess: he has revealed to ev'ry nation his everlasting righteousness. 2 Joyfully, heartily resounding, let ev'ry instrument and voice peal out the praise of grace abounding, calling the whole world to rejoice. Trumpets and organs, set in motion such sounds as make the heavens ring; all things that live in earth and ocean, make music for your mighty King. 3 Rivers and seas and torrents roaring, honour the Lord with wild acclaim; mountains and stones, look up adoring, and find a voice to praise his name. Righteous, commanding, ever glorious, praises be sung that never cease: just is our God, whose truth victorious establishes the world in peace. Scripture: Psalm 98 Used With Tune: RENDEZ À DIEU

To a life of love in action help us rise and pledge our word. 2 Lead us forward into freedom, from despair your world release; that, redeemed from war and hatred, all may come and go in peace. Show us how through care and goodness fear will die and hope increase. 3 All that kills abundant living, let it from the earth be banned; pride of status, race or schooling, dogmas that obscure your plan. In our common quest for justice may we hallow life's brief span. 4 You, Creator God, have written your great name on humankind; for our growing in your likeness bring the life of Christ to mind, that by our response and service earth its destiny may find.

Across our restless living the light streams from your cross, and by its clear, revealing beams we measure gain and loss. 2 The hopes that lead us onward, the fears that hold us back, our will to dare great things for God, the courage that we lack, The faith we keep in goodness, our love, as low or pure, on all, the judgment of the cross falls steady, clear, and sure. 3 Yet humbly, in our striving, we rise to face its test. We crave the power to do your will as once you did it best. On us let now the healing of your great Spirit fall, and make us brave and full of joy to answer to your call.
