"The wondrous Cross"
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #206 (1888) Topics: Christ Agony of; Christ Blood of; Christ Crucifixion of; Christ Prince of Glory; Christ Sufferings of; Consecration Of Self; Cross of Christ Taking; Christ Compassion of First Line: When I survey the wondrous cross Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross,
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
2 Forbid it, Lord! that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ, my God;
All the vain things that charm me most
I sacrifice them to his blood.
3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down;
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
4 His dying crimson, like a robe,
Spreads o'er his body on the tree;
Then I am dead to all the globe,
And all the globe is dead to me.
5 Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all. Scripture: John 19:25 Languages: English Tune Title: ROCKINGHAM (OLD)

For the Healing of the Nations

God, we pray with one accord;
for a just and equal sharing
of the things that earth affords;
to a life of love in action
help us rise and pledge our word.
2 Lead us forward 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. Languages: English Tune Title: WESTMINSTER ABBEY

He Who Would Valiant Be
Author: John Bunyan Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #603 (1990) Meter: 6.5.6.5.6.6.6.5 Topics: Constancy Lyrics: 1 He who would valiant be
'gainst all disaster,
let him in constancy
follow the Master.
There's no discouragement
shall make him once relent
his first avowed intent
to be a pilgrim.
2 Who so beset him round
with dismal stories,
do but themselves confound–
his strength the more is.
No foes shall stay his might;
though he with giants fight,
he will make good his right
to be a pilgrim.
3 Since, Lord, thou dost defend
us with thy Spirit,
we know we at the end
shall life inherit.
Then, fancies, flee away!
I'll fear not what men say,
I'll labor night and day
to be a pilgrim.
