Let Folly Praise That Fancy Loves
Author: Robert Southwell, 1561-1595 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let folly praise that fancy loves;
I praise and love that child
whose heart no thought, whose tongue no word,
whose hand no deed defiled.
I praise him most, I love him best;
all praise and love are his.
While him I love, in him I live,
and cannot live amiss.
2 Love's sweetest mark, laud's highest theme,
our most desired light.
To love him life, to leave him death,
to live in him delight.
He mine by gift, I his by debt,
thus each to other due:
first friend he was, best friend he is;
all times will find him true.
3 Though young, yet wise, though small, yet strong,
though man, yet God he is;
as wise he knows, as strong he can,
as God he loves to bless.
His knowledge rules, his strength defends,
his love doth cherish all;
his birth our joy, his life our light,
his death our end of thrall. Topics: Christmas; Epiphany Scripture: Isaiah 49:1-7 Used With Tune: A PURPLE ROBE

O God of Love, Grant Us Your Peace
Author: John A. Dalles, 1954- Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God of love, grant us your peace
within each restless mind.
May all our inner turmoil cease,
God, show us how to find
your quiet rest, your still small voice,
your light upon life’s way,
to walk with you our humble choice,
God, give us grace to pray.
2 O God of life, grant us your peace,
both where we work and live.
Our ties of fellowship increase,
God, teach us how to give
a helping hand, a list'ning ear,
a message we may share.
So day by day and year by year,
God give us grace to care!
3 O God of hope, grant us your peace,
though all the earth choose war.
May global tensions now decrease,
God, lead us to adore
the way of Christ, and, like our Lord,
be merciful and just.
Surrounded by your Living Word,
God, give us grace to trust!
4 O God of all, grant us your peace,
we share one human bond.
And so when others seek release,
God, help us to respond:
to heal the sick, to seek the lost,
to set the captive free,
to serve and never count the cost:
may we live peacefully! Topics: Calm; Care; Commission; Community; Fellowship; God's Grace; Hope; Jesus Christ The Way; Peace on Earth; Inner Peace; Pursuit of Peace; Repentance; Service; Silence; Trust Scripture: Ephesians 2:14-22 Used With Tune: A PURPLE ROBE

A Purple Robe, a Crown of Thorn
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #217 (1990) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 A purple robe, a crown of thorn,
a reed in His right hand;
before the soldiers’ spite and scorn
I see my Savior stand.
He bears between the Roman guard
the weight of all our woe;
a stumbling figure, bowed and scarred
I see my Savior go.
2 He hangs, by whom the world was made,
beneath the darkened sky;
the everlasting ransom paid,
I see my Savior die.
He shares on high his Father’s throne,
who once in mercy came;
for all His love to sinners shown
I sing my Savior’s name.

A lifelong Presbyterian, John Dalles has lived in Pittsburgh, Coatesville, Lancaster, and State College, Pennsylvania; and South Bend, Indiana. He received the Bachelor of Science in Architecture from Pennsylvania State in 1976. While engaged in a semester abroad in Petworth, England, he sensed a call to the ministry. An architectural designer before divinity studies, he received the Master of Divinity from Lancaster Theological Seminary in 1982. During seminary, he served as a resource consultant for the original Parish Resource Center in Lancaster.
Ordained in Highland Presbyterian Church, Lancaster, on August 1, 1982, John’s first call was to serve the First Presbyterian Church of South Bend, Indiana, as associate pastor. Responsibilities there included worship leadership and preaching, administration of mission and memorial endowment disbursement for mission (over $130,000 annually), minister for education and pastoral care (Diaconate), coordinator of new member outreach and staff liaison to the church owned resident camp. He served the area council of religious organizations, was a member of the Worship Task Force and Discipleship/Church Life Committee of Wabash Valley Presbytery, member and awards chairman of the St. Joseph County Scholarship Foundation, and founding member of Notre Dame Civitan and the South Bend, Indiana, Habitat for Humanity.
In December 1986, Dalles was called to Fox Chapel Presbyterian Church, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where his duties included worship leadership and preaching, programming for spiritual growth, congregational life, administration of pastoral care, adult education, Stephen Ministry, and new member outreach (with annual membership increases of 100 or more). In May 1994, Dalles received the Doctor of Ministry degree from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary for his work in the area of pastoral leadership in the multi-staff church. While at Fox Chapel, he instituted an annual community prayer breakfast, served on the Presbytery’s Preparation for Ministry Committee, and as liaison to an area rehabilitation center. He wrote and edited In Life and Death We Belong to God, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) study resource on end-of-life issues.
Since May 1997, Dalles has served as pastor and head of staff of Wekiva Presbyterian Church, Orlando, Florida, an active and growing congregation in its 26th year. Accomplishments during his pastorate have included a major capital and facilities expansion, growth in new members, and the implementation of new staffing and programs at every level of the congregation’s life. He has chaired the Theology and Worship Committee of Central Florida Presbytery for the past three years.
Dalles has written numerous articles and many published hymn texts. His hymns "Come, O Spirit" and "God Bless Your Church with Strength!" are in the 1990 Presbyterian Hymnal. His lyrics are also in: The New Century Hymnal, The Moravian Book of Worship, Worship Together (Mennonite Brethren), The Covenant Hymnal (Evangelical Covenant Church), The Book of Praise (Presbyterian Church in Canada) and The Australian Book of Praise II. He has written anniversary hymn texts, including: Presbyterian Heritage Sunday, Augsburg, Goshen, Maryville, Tusculum, Wilson and Knox Colleges, American University, Pittsburgh and Lancaster Seminaries, Peachtree Presbyterian Church, the Lutheran World Federation and the Presbyterian Association of Musicians. A member of the Hymn Society, he has been listed in national and world editions of Who’s Who since 1997. Two of his anthems are on a CD by composer Bob Moore entitled "Like a Whisper in the Heart." His other works include:

As Christ the Little Children Blessed

God, Renew Us by Your Spirit!
May God’s Love Be Fixed Above You
