Behold a Broken World

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #691 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Peace--Of the world Lyrics: 1 Behold a broken world, we pray, where want and war increase, and grant us, Lord, in this our day, the ancient dream of peace: 2 a dream of swords to sickles bent, of spears to scythe and spade, the weapons of our warfare spent, a world of peace remade; 3 where ev'ry battle flag is furled and ev'ry trumpet stilled, where wars shall cease in all the world, a waking dream fulfilled. 4 No force of arms shall there prevail nor justice cease its sway; nor shall their loftiest visions fail the dreamers of the day. 5 O Prince of peace, who died to save, a lost world to redeem, and rose in triumph from the grave, behold our waking dream. 6 Bring, Lord, your better world to birth, your kingdom, love's domain; where peace with God, and peace on earth, and peace eternal reign.

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.

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.
