Psalm 115
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Nation and Society First Line: Not to us be glory given Lyrics: 1 Not to us be glory given
but to him who reigns above:
Glory to the God of heaven
for his faithfulness and love!
What though unbelieving voices
hear no word and see no sign,
still in God my heart rejoices,
working out his will divine.
2 Not what human fingers fashion,
gold and silver, deaf and blind,
dead to knowledge and compassion,
having neither heart nor mind,
lifeless gods, some yet adore them,
nerveless hands and feet of clay;
all become, who bow before them,
lost indeed, and dead as they.
3 Not in them the hope of blessing,
hope is in the living Lord:
High and low, his Name confessing,
find in him their shield and sword.
Hope of all whose hearts revere him,
God of Israel, still the same!
God of Aaron! Those who fear him,
he remembers them by name.
4 Not the dead, but we the living
praise the Lord with all our powers;
of his goodness freely giving,
his is heaven; earth is ours.
Not to us be glory given
but to him who reigns above:
glory to the God of heaven
for his faithfulness and love! Scripture: Psalm 115 Used With Tune: LUX EOI

God of freedom, God of justice
Author: Shirley Erena Murray (b. 1931) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Nation and Society Lyrics: 1 God of freedom, God of justice,
you whose love is strong as death,
you who saw the dark of prison,
you who knew the price of faith —
touch our world of sad oppression
with your Spirit's healing breath.
2 Rid the earth of torture's terror,
you whose hands were nailed to wood,
hear the cries of pain and protest,
you who shed the tears and blood —
move in us the power of pity
restless for the common good.
3 Make in us a captive conscience
quick to hear, to act, to plead;
make us truly sisters, brothers
of whatever race or creed —
teach us to be fully human,
open to each other's need. Scripture: Song of Solomon 8:6-7 Used With Tune: RHUDDLAN
