For the Healing of the Nations

Author: Fred Kaan Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #289 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Social Justice First Line: For the healing of the nations 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 forward 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: Genesis 1:27 Languages: English Tune Title: HUACO

Community of Christ

Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Hymnal: Together in Song #473 (1999) Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Topics: Social Justice Lyrics: 1 Community of Christ, who make the Cross your own, live out your creed and risk your life for God alone: the God who wears your face, to whom all worlds belong, whose children are of every race and every song. 2 Community of Christ, look past the Church's door and see the refugee, the hungry, and the poor. Take hands with the oppressed, the jobless in your street, take towel and water, that you wash your neighbour's feet. 3 Community of Christ, through whom the word must sound - cry out for justice and for peace the whole world round: disarm the powers that war and all that can destroy, turn bombs to bread, and tears of anguish into joy. 4 When menace melts away, so shall God's will be done, the climate of the world be peace and Christ its Sun; our currency be love and kindliness our law, our food and faith be shared as one for evermore. Scripture: Matthew 8:8-17 Languages: English Tune Title: LEONI
