O God, You Give Humanity Its Name
Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O God, You give humanity its name,
Your covenant of grace remains the same:
Be with these two who now before You wait;
Enlarge the love they come to consecrate.
2 May through their union other lives be blessed,
Their door be wide to stranger and to guest;
Give them the understanding that is kind;
Grant them the blessing of an open mind.
3 Preserve their days from inwardness of heart:
To each the gift of truthfulness impart.
Their bond be strong against all strain and strife
Amid the changes of this earthly life.
4 From stage to stage on life's unfolding way
Bring to their mind the vows they make this day;
Your Spirit be their guide in every move,
Their faith in Christ the basis of their love.
5 Lord, bless us all to whom this day brings joy,
Let no events our unity destroy.
And help us, till all sense of time is lost,
To live and love and not to count the cost. Topics: Christian Marriage Used With Tune: SURSUM CORDA (SMITH)

O Christ Who by a Cross
Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: O Christ who by a cross made peace your sign Lyrics: 1 O Christ who by a cross made peace your sign,
who gives your peace in water, bread and wine:
O Spirit Christ who is our spirit's home,
teach us the secret of the true shalom.
2 We speak of peace when in our hearts we war
and, unforgiving, keep our grudges sore,
we promise peace while yet we strive to win,
and in our enemy, see not our kin.
3 Two deaths now face the starving and the fed–
the blinding bomb, the simple lack of bread;
with riches of the earth at our command,
from weaponry to welcome, turn our hand.
4 The selfishness which is our human curse,
the arsenal of hatred which we nurse—
all are dispelled when in our hearts we say
"There is no way to peace: peace is the way." Topics: Communion; Interpersonal Conflict; Courage; Cross; Forgiveness; Humanity; Jesus Christ's Passion; Peace of Jesus Christ; Pursuit of Peace; Reconciliation; Shalom Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18 Used With Tune: SURSUM CORDA

Of Women, and of Women's Hopes We Sing
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Of women, and of women's hopes we sing:
of sharing in creation's nurturing,
of bearing and of birthing new belief,
of passion for the promises of life.
2 We praise God whose image is our own,
the mystery within our flesh and bone,
the woman-spirit moving through all time
in prophecy, Magnificat and dream.
3 We labor for the commonwealth of God,
and equal as disciples, walk the road,
in work and status, asking what is just,
for sisters of the family of Christ.
4 Forgiving what is past, we seek the new:
a finer justice, and a peace more true,
the promise of empowering for our day
when men and women roll the stone away. Topics: God's World Dignity and Equality; Dignity and Equality; Empowerment; Hope; Women Used With Tune: SURSUM CORDA
