Wounded World that Cries for Healing
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Wounded world that cries for healing -
here we hold each other's pain,
wounded systems,
bruised and bleeding bear the load,
the scars of strain;
dollars ration out compassion,
hard decisions rule the day,
Jesus of the healing Spirit,
free us to another way!
2 Through our nation's spent frustration,
through the corridors of stress
may there move a kindlier wisdom
all my feel,
and all may bless;
tax and tithe are for a purpose
shared to shield the poor and weak;
past the symptoms of our sickness
let the voice of justice speak.
3 Honor those whose loving spirit
nurses hope, restores and heals,
towel and basin used in service
like the Christ who comes and kneels;
in the tending,
in the mending
may we see the right and fair,
in our common quest for wholeness
heal each other by our care. Topics: Grace Social Holiness Used With Tune: HEALING SPIRIT

It Is Good to Sing Your Praises
Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics:
1 It is good to sing your praises
and to thank you, O Most High,
showing forth your loving-kindness
when the morning lights the sky.
It is good when night is falling
of your faithfulness to tell,
while with sweet, melodious praises
songs of adoration swell.
2 You have filled my heart with gladness
through the works your hands have wrought;
you have made my life victorious;
great your works and deep your thought.
You, O LORD, on high exalted,
reign forevermore in might;
all your enemies shall perish,
sin be banished from your sight.
3 But the good shall live before you,
planted in your dwelling place,
fruitful trees and ever verdant,
nourished by your boundless grace.
In his goodness to the righteous
God his righteousness displays;
God, my rock, my strength and refuge,
just and true are all your ways.

Winter

All in white and crystal dressed,
King at last of all the seasons,
Wearing jewels on thy breast.

Winter, winter, royal winter,
Pulses tingle, hearts are light;
Praises to the gracious Giver,
For the season cold and bright.

Of the white and glistening snow;
Seeds of grain and flower rootlets,
Hide in safety far below. [Refrain]
3 When for me life’s winter cometh,
May my heart but stronger grow;
May the fruits in autumn gathered,
Last thro’ all the time of snow. [Refrain] Used With Tune: COLUMBIA Text Sources: Bible Study Songs, by Bertha F. Vella and Daniel. B. Towner (Boston: The Pilgrim Press, 1899)

As He Gathered at His Table
Author: Paul A. Richardson Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As He gathered at His table
Those who longed to know the way,
Christ proclaimed a holy myst'ry.
Still His words call us today.
As He took the towel and basin,
Not as master, but as friend,
Christ portrayed the way of service.
Still in serving we must bend.
2 As He blessed the bread and broke it,
Human need to satisfy,
Christ made even traitors welcome.
Still we question, "Is it I?"
As He took the cup and shared it,
Telling of the Father's care,
Christ poured out Himself in promise.
Still that cov'nant we must share.
3 As they sang a hymn together,
Praising Israel's saving King,
Hearts and voices made one music.
Still deliv'ring love we sing.
Tho' this feast be one of symbols,
What we celebrate is real:
Still Christ welcomes to His table;
Still Christ serves us at His meal. Used With Tune: ELLESDIE
