Above the Hills of Time

Author: Thomas Tiplady Appears in 12 hymnals First Line: Above the hills of time the cross is gleaming Lyrics: 1. Above the hills of time the cross is gleaming, Fair as the sun when night has turned to day; And from it love’s pure light is richly streaming, To cleanse the heart and banish sin away. To this dear cross the eyes of men are turning, Today as in the ages lost to sight; And so for Thee, O Christ, men’s hearts are yearning, As shipwrecked seamen yearn for morning light. 2. The cross, O Christ, Thy wondrous love revealing, Awakes our hearts as with the light of morn, And pardon o’er our sinful spirits stealing, Tells us that we, in Thee, have been reborn. Like echoes to sweet temple bells replying Our hearts, O Lord, make answer to Thy love; And we will love Thee with a love undying, Till we are gathered to Thy home above. Used With Tune: LONDONDERRY

Fold to your heart your sister and your brother

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-1892 Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Appears in 153 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Fold to your heart your sister and your brother: where pity dwells, the peace of God is there; to worship rightly and to love each other, each smile a hymn, each kindly deed a prayer. For he whom Jesus loved has truly spoken: the holier worship which He deigns to bless restores the lost, and binds the spirit broken, and feeds the widow and the fatherless. 2 Follow with reverent steps the great example of Him whose holy work was doing good: so shall the wide earth seem our Father's temple, each loving life a psalm of gratitude. Then shall all shackles fall: the stormy clangour of wild war music o'er the earth shall cease; love shall tread out the baleful fire of anger, and in its ashes plant the tree of peace.

If we could speak all tongues of earth and heaven

Author: Rob Atkins Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 If we could speak all tongues of earth and heavn but have not love our prophecy is vain; though every mystery to us is open to talk of love will be an empty claim. But love is swift to clear misunderstanding, love is not proud, insisting on display and love is rich in patient understanding: grant us, oh Lord of love to seek the better way. 2 If we should give to others when we prosper but have not love, we fail the final test: if we should place our substance on the altar, our sacrifice, if boastful, is not blessed. For love is clean and clear in its intentions, lifts up its face to face the light of day, love is pure harmony without pretension: grant us, oh Lord of love to find the better way. 3 If by our faith we make the mountains tremble but have not love, then nothing do we win: we are but noisy gongs or clanging cymbals condemned to sink to silence in the end. But love is always faithful in rejoicing, lifts up a song of hope that never fails love is a choir of perfect blended voices: grant us, oh Lord of love to choose the better way. 4 When we were young we fought for worldly glory, but worldly ways in time all have to die. We see in part as in a mirror darkly and wait in hope for love’s bright sun to rise. Faith, hope and love, these three remain our story but faith and hope will vanish in the day; as we await love’s triumph in the glory grant us, oh Lord of love to love the better way.

Lord of the church, we pray for our renewing

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (born 1926) Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord of the church, we pray for our renewing: Christ over all, our undivided aim. Fire of the Spirit, burn for our enduring, wind of the Spirit, fan the living flame! We turn to Christ amid our fear and failing, the will that lacks the courage to be free, the weary labours, all but unavailing, to bring us nearer what a church should be. 2 Lord of the church, we seek a Father's blessing, a true repentance and a faith restored, a swift obedience and a new possessing, filled with the Holy Spirit of the Lord! We turn to Christ from all our restless striving, unnumbered voices with a single prayer — the living water for our souls' reviving, in Christ to live, and love and serve and care. 3 Lord of the church, we long for our uniting, true to one calling, by one vision stirred; one cross proclaiming and one creed reciting, one in the truth of Jesus and his word! So lead us on; till toil and trouble ended, one church triumphant one new song shall sing, to praise his glory, risen and ascended, Christ over all, the everlasting king!
