Beyond the Beauty and the Awe

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 5 Lyrics: 1 Beyond the beauty and the awe, beyond the fear and dread, we long, O God, to hear your word, to taste your transformed bread. 2 Our lives feel torn between the world, whose needs are grimly real, and empty talk of peace and joy with distant, vague appeal. 3 Oh, teach us how to hear your voice despite the traffic’s din, to keep the blasts of rancor out and let your Spirit in. 4 In sound or silence, sight or smell, may we some token find that makes your living presence known to body, soul, and mind. 5 Then help us live as Jesus taught, as light and salt and yeast, that others may be brought to share your promise and your feast.

Author: Norman Elliott Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 5:3-12 First Line: Blessed are the poor in spirit, claiming nothing as their own Lyrics: 1 Blessed are the poor in spirit, claiming nothing as their own, but as giv'n them by their Father that his goodness may be shown. Blest are they who share the sorrow of their God's unchanging love; they shall know his presence with them and his promised comfort prove. 2 Blessed are the strong but gentle, trained to serve a higher will, wise to know the eternal purpose which their Father shall fulfill. Blest are they who with true passion strive to make the right prevail, for the earth is God's possession and his purpose will not fail. 3 Blest are they who show their mercy to the guilty and the poor, for to them, set free from judgment, shall be opened heaven's door. Blessed, the sincere and truthful from the lie's deception free, for the God of truth and beauty they in joy will surely see. 4 Blessed are the brave and peaceful, bringing peace where'er they live, God shall own them as his children and through them his peace will give. All for love and truth who suffer in your God rejoice and sing; he, the end of all your striving, he, your Father, Lord and King. Topics: Social Justice; Beatitudes Used With Tune: CARCANT

Lord, What is All Our Fighting For?

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 5:9 Lyrics: Lord, what is all our fighting for? We train our young to go to war. A young girl sees the terror spread As soldiers shoot her parents dead. Lord, what is our acceptance for? We tolerate what you abhor. Each day more little ones are lost; May we seek truth and count war’s cost. What can we for repentance bring? You do not want an offering. “Do what is just,” you simply say; “Love what is kind and seek my way.” Lord, what is all our silence for? Now make us bold to say, “No more!” The world need not be what it’s been; Your peace will reign! Your love will win! Topics: Justice; Lament; Peacemaking Used With Tune: O WALY WALY
