For the Healing of the Nations
Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 59 hymnals Topics: Christ's Example Lyrics: 1 For the healing of the nations,
Lord, we pray with one accord;
for a just and equal sharing
of the things that earth affords.
To a life of love in action
help us rise and pledge our word.
2 Lead us, Father, into freedom,
from despair your world release;
that, redeemed from war and hatred,
all may come and go in peace.
Show us how through care and goodness
fear will die and hope increase.
3 All that kills abundant living,
let it from the earth be banned;
pride of status, race or schooling,
dogmas that obscure your plan.
In our common quest for justice
may we hallow life's brief span.
4 You, Creator God, have written
your great name on humankind;
for our growing in your likeness
bring the life of Christ to mind,
that by our response and service
earth its destiny may find. Scripture: Micah 4:1-4 Used With Tune: FORTUNATUS NEW

"Friend of Sinners"
Author: John Newton Appears in 691 hymnals Topics: Christ Example of First Line: One there is above all others Lyrics: 1 One there is above all others,
Well deserves the name of Friend;
His is love beyond a brother's,
Costly, free, and knows no end:
They who once his kindness prove
Find it everlasting love.
2 Which of all our friends, to save us,
Could or would have shed his blood?
But our Jesus died to have us
Reconciled in him to God:
This was boundless love indeed!
Jesus is a friend in need.
3 When he lived on earth abased,
"Friend of sinners" was his name;
Now above all glories raised,
He rejoices in the same;
Still he calls them brethren, friends,
And to all their wants attends.
4 Could we bear from one another
What he daily bears from us?
Yet this glorious Friend and Brother
Loves us though we treat him thus:
Though for good we render ill,
He accounts us brethren still.
5 Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!
Teach us, Lord, at length to love;
We, alas! forget too often
What a Friend we have above:
But when home our souls are brought,
We will love thee as we ought. Scripture: Proverbs 18:24 Used With Tune: MURIEL
"Friend of Sinners"

Thy path, my Lord, I'd trace;
As Thou hast done, so would I do,
Depending on Thy grace.
2 With earnest zeal, 'twas Thy delight
To do Thy Father's will;
O may that zeal my love excite
Thy precepts to fulfil!
3 Unsullied meekness, truth, and love
Through all Thy conduct shine;
O may my whole deportment prove
A copy, Lord, of Thine! Used With Tune: ST. PETER
In duties and in sufferings too
Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life
Author: Frank Mason North Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 384 hymnals Topics: Christ's Example; Christ's Example 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, O Son of Man.
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 From tender childhood's helplessness,
from human grief and burdened toil,
from famished souls, from sorrow's stress
your heart has never known recoil.
4 The cup of water giv'n for you
still holds the freshness of your grace;
yet long these multitudes to view
the sweet compassion in your face.
5 O Master, from the mountain side,
make haste to heal these hearts of pain;
among these restless throngs abide;
O tread the city's streets again;
6 till all the world shall learn your love,
and follow where your feet have trod;
till glorious from your heav'n above
shall come the city of our God. Scripture: Matthew 9:18-36 Used With Tune: GERMANY

Oh, where is he that trod the sea?
Author: T. T. Lynch Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 59 hymnals Topics: Christ Life, Office, and Example Lyrics: 1 Oh, where is he that trod the sea?
Oh, where is he that spake,
And lepers from their pains are free,
And slaves their fetters break?
The lame and palsied freely rise,
With joy the dumb do sing;
And on the darkened, blinded eyes,
Glad beams of morning spring!
2 Oh, where is he that trod the sea?
Oh, where is he that spake,
And demons from their victims flee,
The dead from slumber wake?
Here, here art thou, almighty Lord!
Oh, speak to us once more,
And let thy healing, quickening word
Our ruined souls restore! Scripture: Zechariah 9:9
Oh, where is he that trod the sea?
