Built on the Rock

Author: Nikolai F. S. Grundtvig; Carl Döving Hymnal: With Heart and Voice #133 (1989) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: The Church in the World First Line: Built on the Rock, the church shall stand Lyrics: 1 Built on the Rock, the church shall stand even when steeples are falling; Christ builds his church in every land; bells still are chiming and calling, calling the young and old to rest, calling the souls of those distressed, longing for life everlasting. 2 Not in a temple made with hands God the Almighty is dwelling; high in the heavens his temple stands, all earthly temples excelling. Yet he who dwells in heaven above chooses to live with us in love, making our bodies his temple. 3 We are God's house of living stones, built for his own habitation; he fills our hearts, his humble thrones, granting us life and salvation. Yet to this place, an earthly frame, we come with thanks to praise his name; God grants his people true blessing. Languages: English Tune Title: KIRKEN

When Will People Cease Their Fighting?

Author: Constance Cherry Hymnal: Voices United #687 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Church in the World Commitment: Peace and Justice Lyrics: 1 When will people cease their fighting? When will armies wage no war, nations conquer not their neighbour, weapons idle, used no more? When will guns and bombs be silent? When will captives be set free? All creation groans in longing for the world's true liberty. 2 Floods and earthquakes, drought and famine plague the world with awesome ill, but far greater is war's horror caused by human, stubborn will. Blest are those who, working, praying, purpose in their hearts to be instruments of peace, committed to the nations' harmony. 3 As we strive for peace with vigour, hoping to be shown the way, we are strengthened in the knowledge of a future, perfect day; for we know that deeper, richer peace is ours when Christ shall reign: then will all our swords be plowshares and God's children free from pain.
