The whole world no compensation for the loss of one soul
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CDI (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: World no compensation of the loss of one soul First Line: Lord, shall we part with gold for dross Lyrics: 1 Lord, shall we part with gold for dross,
With solid good for show?
Out live our bliss, and mourn our loss
In everlasting woe?
2 Let us not lose the living God,
For one short dream of joy:
With fond embraces cling to a clod,
And fling all heaven away.
3 Vain world, thy weak attempts forbear,
We all thy charms defy;
And rate our precious souls to dear
For all thy wealth to buy.

God of the Bible
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: Worship and Song #3020 (2011) Meter: 5.5.5.4 D with refrain Topics: Loss; Loss Refrain First Line: Fresh as the morning, sure as the sunrise Lyrics: 1 God of the Bible,
God in the Gospel,
hope seen in Jesus,
hope yet to come,
you are our center,
daylight or darkness,
freedom or prison,
you are our home.
Refrain:
Fresh as the morning,
sure as the sunrise,
God always faithful,
you do not change.
Fresh as the morning,
sure as the sunrise,
God always faithful,
you do not change.
2 God in our struggles,
God in our hunger,
suffering with us,
taking our part,
still you empower us,
mothering Spirit,
feeding, sustaining,
from your own heart. [Refrain]
3 Those without status,
those who are nothing,
you have made royal,
gifted with rights,
chosen as partners,
midwives of justice,
birthing new systems,
lighting new lights. [Refrain]
4 Not by your finger,
not by your anger
will our world order
change in a day,
but by your people,
fearless and faithful,
small paper lanterns,
lighting the way. [Refrain]
5 Hope we must carry,
shining and certain
through all our turmoil,
terror, and loss,
bonding us gladly
one to the other,
till our world changes
facing the cross. [Refrain]

Let Hope and Sorrow Now Unite
Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #412 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: Grief and Loss Lyrics: 1 Let hope and sorrow now unite
to consecrate life's ending.
And praise good friends now gone from sight,
though grief and loss are rending.
The story in a well-loved face,
the years and days our thoughts retrace,
are treasures worth repeating.
2 With faith, or doubt, or open mind
we whisper life's great question.
The ebb and flow of space and time
surpass our small perception;
yet knowledge grows with joyful gains
and finds out wonders far more strange
than hopes of resurrection. Languages: English Tune Title: ALLEIN GOTT IN DER HÖH
Let Hope and Sorrow Now Unite
Nothing Is Lost on the Breath of God
Author: Colin Gibson Hymnal: Voices Together #653 (2020) Meter: Irregular Topics: Reproductive Loss; Reproductive Loss Lyrics: 1 Nothing is lost on the breath of God,
nothing is lost forever;
God’s breath is love, and that love will remain,
holding the world forever.
No feather too light, no hair too fine,
no flower too brief in its glory;
no drop in the ocean, no dust in the air,
but is counted and told in God’s story.
2 Nothing is lost to the eyes of God,
nothing is lost forever.
God sees with love, and that love will remain,
holding the world forever.
No journey too far, no distance too great,
no valley of darkness too blinding;
no creature too humble, no child too small
for God to be seeking and finding.
3 Nothing is lost to the heart of God,
nothing is lost forever;
God’s heart is love, and that love will re-main,
holding the world forever.
No impulse of love, no office of care,
no moment of life in its fullness;
no beginning too late, no ending too soon,
but is gathered and known in its goodness. Scripture: Matthew 6:25-34 Tune Title: GREEN LANE

Thou Gathered Here to Celebrate
To thee, my God and Saviour, I
Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #P.LXXXVIII (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Loss of Friends, and Absence of Divine Grace Lyrics: 1 To thee, my God and Saviour, I
By day and night address my cry:
Vouchsafe my mournful voice to hear,
To my distress incline thine ear.
2 For seas of trouble me invade,
My soul draws nigh to death's cold shade;
Like one whose strength and hopes are fled,
They number me among the dead:
3 Like those who, shrouded in the grave,
From thee no more remembrance have;
Cast off from thy sustaining care,
Down to the confines of despair.
4 Thy wrath has hard upon me lain,
Afflicted me with restless pain:
Me all thy mountain waves have press'd,
Too weak, alas, to bear the least.
5 Remov'd from friends, I sigh alone,
In a loath'd dungeon laid, where none
A visit will vouchsafe to me,
Confin'd, past hopes of liberty.
6 My eyes from weeping never cease:
They waste, but still my griefs increase;
Yet daily, Lord, to thee I've pray'd,
With out-stretch'd hands invok'd thy aid.
7 Wilt thou by miracle revive
The dead, whom thou forsook'st alive?
From death restore, thy praise to sing,
Whom thou from prison would'st not bring?
8 Shall the mute grave thy love confess?
A mould'ring tomb thy faithfulness
Thy truth and pow'r renown obtain,
Where darkness and oblivion reign?
9 To thee O Lord, I cry forlorn;
My pray'r prevents the early morn;
Why hast thou, Lord, my soul forsook,
Nor once vouchsaf'd a gracious look?
10 Prevailing sorrows bear me down,
Which from my youth with me have grown
Thy terrors past distract my mind,
And fears of blacker days behind.
11 Thy wrath hath burst upon my head,
Thy terrors fill my soul with dread;
Environ'd as with waves combined,
And for a general deluge join'd.
12 My lovers, friends, familiars, all
Remov'd from sight, and out of call;
To dark oblivion all retir'd,
Dead, or at least to me expir'd. Scripture: Psalm 88 Languages: English
To thee, my God and Saviour, I
