God, the Source of Light and Beauty
Author: S. Ralph Harlow, 1885-1972 Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #593 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Vision Lyrics: 1 God, the source of light and beauty,
grant response in sense and sight;
stir our minds to follow duty;
rouse our souls from earth-born night;
give us through our clouded vision
clearer knowledge of thy will
till thine undefeated purpose
through our lives thou shalt fulfill.
2 Great Musician of the thunder,
Builder of the mountain range,
Painter of the sunset's splendor,
Planner of the season's change,
help us fill our lives with beauty;
still the roar of guns and strife;
build thy kingdom of the future
here within our daily life.
3 Author of creation's being,
thou hast shared our pain and loss;
through Christ's gallant life of service
shines the radiance of the cross.
God, the source of light and beauty,
faith assures thy reign above.
Here on earth we need thy presence;
teach us how to walk in love. Scripture: Colossians 1:15-20 Languages: English Tune Title: IN BABILONE

Holy Presence, Holy Teacher
Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #601 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Vision Lyrics: 1 Holy Presence, Holy Teacher,
Light illumining our lives,
in the compass of your wisdom
all our work and worship thrives:
lead us when we sense your calling
till we find our chosen field,
following your hand’s direction,
honoring your truth revealed.
2 By our nurture, by our culture
every life is shaped to grow,
fed by long tradition’s learning,
formed by mentors as we go;
tune our ears to hear the gospel
questioning accepted thought,
ready to respect each other,
see the gifts that each has brought.
3 Yours the world of pow’r and beauty,
ours the task to tend its needs,
day by day in cheerful service
growing faith like mustard seeds,
striving in unlikely places,
standing where indeed we must,
acting from compelling conscience,
working for what’s fair and just.
4 God, we pray for understanding
in our study, in our goals,
concepts that will change and challenge,
vision to inspire our souls,
that this place for mind’s reflection,
faith examined, word addressed,
be a witness to your teaching,
and our faithful search be blessed. Languages: English Tune Title: PLEADING SAVIOR
Holy Presence, Holy Teacher
Light's abode, celestial Salem
Author: Thomas à Kempis, c.1380-1471; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #610 (1997) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Vision / Dream Lyrics: 1 Light's abode, celestial Salem,
vision whence true peace doth spring,
brighter than the heart can fancy,
mansion of the highest King;
oh how glorious are the praises
which of thee the prophets sing.
2 There forever and forever
hallelujah is outpoured,
for unending, for unbroken
is the feast day of the Lord;
all is pure and all is holy
that within thy walls is stored.
3 There no cloud nor passing vapour
dims the brightness of the air;
endless noonday, glorious noonday,
from the Sun of suns is there;
there no night brings rest from labour,
for unknown are toil and care.
4 Oh how glorious and resplendent,
fragile body, shalt thou be,
when endued with so much beauty,
full of health, and strong and free,
full of vigour, full of pleasure
that shall last eternally.
5 Now with gladness, now with courage,
bear the burden on thee laid,
that hereafter these thy labours
may with endless gifts be paid,
and in everlasting glory
thou with joy mayst stand arrayed.
Scripture: Psalm 92 Languages: English Tune Title: RHUDDLAN

Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life
Author: Frank Mason North Hymnal: Voices United #681 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Vision/Dream Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life,
where sound the cries of race and clan,
above the noise of selfish strife,
we hear your voice of life again.
2 In haunts of wretchedness and need,
on shadowed thresholds, dark with fears,
from paths where hide the lures of greed,
we catch the vision of your tears.
3 The cup of water given for you
still holds the freshness of your grace;
yet long these multitudes to view
the strong compassion of your face.
4 O Master, from the mountainside
make haste to heal these hearts of pain;
among these restless throngs abide,
and tread the city's streets again,
5 till all the world shall learn your love
and follow where your feet have trod,
till glorious from your heaven above
shall come the city of our God. Languages: English Tune Title: FULDA
