How Sweet the Darkness

Author: Rachel Bates Hymnal: Singing the Journey #1055 (2005) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Justice and Social Action First Line: When windows that are black and cold Lyrics: 1 When windows that are black and cold are lit anew with fires of gold; When dusk in quiet shall descend and darkness come once more a friend. 2 When wings pursue their proper flight and bring not terror but delight; When clouds are innocent again and hide no storms of deadly rain; 3 And when the sky is swept of wars and keeps but gentle moon and stars, That peaceful sky, harmless air, how sweet, how sweet, the darkness there.

The Church of Christ in Every Age

Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Voices United #601 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Church in the World Discipleship: Love in Action; Christian Experience; Church Anniversaries; Church Ecumenism; Church Permanence; Heritage; Hunger; Justice; Love for Others; Ministry; Mission and Outreach; Obedience; Renewal; Sacrifice; Service; Social Concerns; Testimony; Word of God; World; Epiphany 9 Year A; Proper 16 Year A; Proper 21 Year A; Easter 6 Year C; Proper 7 Year C; Holy thursday Year ABC Lyrics: 1 The church of Christ, in every age, beset by change but Spirit led, must claim and test its heritage and keep on rising from the dead. 2 Across the world, across the street the victims of injustice cry for shelter and for bread to eat, and never live until they die. 3 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. 4 For Christ 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. 5 We have no mission but to serve in full obedience to our Lord: to care for all without reserve and spread Christ's liberating word. Languages: English Tune Title: CHURCH TRIUMPHANT
