God of the Future

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., 1944- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #360 (2013) Meter: 5.5.10 D Topics: Future Lyrics: 1 God of the future, calling us forward, thaw our inertia, and wean us from greed; transform false comfort into commitment that we may serve you in word and in deed. 2 Where we think justice will crown our journey, teach us in mercy to seek our true home; when ending bloodshed seems our best purpose show us the deep peace that lives in shalom. 3 Widen our vision to grasp a mission broader than any we dream on our own; help us surrender all that would hinder our full intention to be yours alone. 4 For our forebodings give us a foretaste of all you call us to do and to be; God of the future, still lead us forward to live as people whom Christ has set free.

Year by year, from past to future

Author: Alan Luff (b. 1928) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #829 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Future hope Lyrics: 1 Year by year, from past to future worship marks our upward climb, sets the rhythm of our journey to eternity through time: though the outward things diminish we are held more firm by grace, following God's heavenward calling and the everlasting prize. 2 As we seek to weave life's fabric on the lengthening loom of days, may Christ guide the threads that form it, be the pattern it displays; may the Father, master craftsman, sorrowing over each mistake, plan for us a new perfection from the ugliness we make. 3 Though we long for the adventure of the mystery of bliss, to the pilgrim's eyes the pathway breaks, and ends in death's abyss; but within the dark are waiting hands that bear the print of nails, which will hold us safe and bear us where the worship never fails. Scripture: John 14:1-4 Languages: English Tune Title: EBENEZER

It is stage by stage to the golden age

Author: Walter Hawkins, 1857- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #612 (1917) Topics: Children Hope of the future First Line: The future belongs to the children Lyrics: 1 The future belongs to the children, Though much to the past we owe, Though much may be done in the present; We stay when the old people go. The vision God gave to our fathers Is coming to us in our turn; And at the first gleam of its splendor Our hearts are beginning to burn. Refrain: It is stage by stage to the golden age, To the golden age, It is stage by stage to the golden age, Far off we seem to view it; But the good we crave wilt come to the brave Who see God's will and do it. 2 Around us are wrongs and misdoings, And struggle, and suff'ring, and woe; The helpless are needing a champion, The tempted are pressed by the foe; And children are foully neglected, They even are thrust into sin; And the knights of the good Lord Jesus Have many a battle to win. [Refrain] 3 The promise belongs to the children, Saith One who is faithful and true A promise of welfare and blessing, Which God to the young doth renew: Its glimmer is cleaving the darkness; We know that the day is begun; And cloudland is tinged with the glory That tells of the might of the sun. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: GOLDEN AGE
