"Quite weary is my patience grown, And bids my fury go; Swift as the lightning it shall move, And be as fatal too. "I call for helpers, but in vain; Then has my gospel none? Well, mine own arm has might enough To crush my foes alone. "Slaughter and my devouring sword Shall walk the streets around, Babel shall reel beneath my stroke, And stagger to the ground." Thy honors, O victorious King! Thine own right hand shall raise, While we thy awful vengeance sing, And our deliv'rer praise. Scripture: Isaiah 63:4-7

Or love a faithless, evil world, That wreath'd His brow with thorn? 4 No: facing all its frowns or smiles, Like Him, obedient still, We homeward press, through storm or calm To Zion’s blessèd hill. 5 Dead to the world, with Him who died to win our hearts, our love, We, risen with our risen Head, In spirit dwell above.

He bids us never give him rest, But be importunate. 4 'Twas thus a widow poor, Without support or friend, Beset the unjust judge's door, And gain'd at last her end. 5 And shall not Jesus hear His children when they cry? Yes, tho' he may awhile forbear, He'll not their suit deny. 6 Then let us earnest be, And never faint in pray'r; He loves our importunity, And makes our cause his care. Scripture: Luke 18:1

Surrounded by a world of need

Author: Fred Kaan (b. 1929) Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: God--in Jesus Christ Hope of the World Lyrics: 1 Surrounded by a world of need, by men to heal, to house and feed, our mind is given to despair, and hope is undermined by war. Yet through the fabric of our time there runs the liberating theme of love that makes the world go round, of love creative and profound. 2 This love is in the face of Christ, in human life, made manifest; its strong intent will conquer all, it raises people when they fall. Then help us, Lord, to understand the good your purpose put in man, and use, to bring your reign about, those in the church and those without. Used With Tune: ASKERSWELL
