No Obvious Angels
Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #418 (2013) Topics: Responsibility First Line: No obvious angels sing through the night skies Lyrics: 1 No obvious angels sing through the night skies,
no thunderstruck shepherds tell out their surprise,
for Christmas comes into the here and the now
through star-sighted people,
the watchful and hopeful,
who wake us to see a new world.
2 Our angel potential is waiting to start!
The Spirit will teach us the song of the heart,
for Christmas comes into the here and the now
through peace-maker people,
the just and the gentle,
the stars who will light the new world.
3 Whoever will take it is given the role:
the fruitful, the faithful, the joyous of soul,
for Christmas comes into the here and the now
when we are the angels
who dream and deliver,
who rise and create this new world! Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9:7-8 Languages: English Tune Title: NEW WORLD CAROL

Nearer, my God to Thee
Author: Mrs. Sarah Flower Adams, 1805-1848 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #447a (1917) Topics: Responsibility First Line: Nearer, my God, to Thee Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee;
E'en though it be a cross
That raiseth me;
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.
2 Though, like the wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone;
Yet, in my dreams, I'd be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.
3 There let the way appear
Steps unto heaven;
All that Thou sendest me
In mercy given;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.
4 Then, with my waking thoughts
Bright with Thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs
Bethel I'll raise;
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.
5 Or if on joyful wing
Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
Upwards I fly;
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: HORBURY

When We Are Tested
Author: Ruth Duck, 1947- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #453 (2013) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Responsibility First Line: When we are tested and wrestle alone Lyrics: 1 When we are tested and wrestle alone,
famished for bread when the world offers stone,
nourish us, God, by your word and your way,
food that sustains us by night and by day.
2 When in the desert we cry for relief,
pleading for paths marked by certain belief,
lift us to love you beyond sign and test,
trusting your presence, our only true rest.
3 When we are tempted to barter our souls,
trading the truth for the pow'r to control,
teach us to worship and praise only you,
seeking your will in the work that we do.
4 When we have struggled and searched through the night,
sorting and sifting the wrong from the right,
Savior, surround us with circles of care,
angels of healing, of hope, and of prayer. Scripture: Matthew 4:1-11 Languages: English Tune Title: MYRRH-BEARING MARY

A charge to keep I have
Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #501 (1917) Topics: Responsibility Lyrics: 1 A charge to keep I have,
A God to glorify,
A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky:
2 To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfil;
O may it all my powers engage
To do my Master's will!
3 Arm me with jealous care,
As in Thy sight to live;
And O, Thy servant, Lord, prepare
A strict account to give!
4 Help me to watch and pray,
And on Thyself rely;
Assured, if I my trust betray,
I shall for ever die. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. MICHAEL
