We Meet You, O Christ
Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 10 hymnals Hymnal Title: Chalice Hymnal First Line: We meet you, O Christ, in many a guise Lyrics: 1 We meet you, O Christ, in many a guise;
your image we see in simple and wise.
You live in a palace, exist in a shack.
We see you, the gardener, a tree on your back.
2 In millions alive, away and abroad,
involved in our life you live down the road.
Imprisoned in systems, you long to be free;
we see you, O Jesus, still bearing your tree.
3 In human distress, we still hear you cry;
for freedom you march, in riots you die.
Your face in the papers we read and we see.
The tree must be planted by human decree.
4 You choose to be made at one with the earth;
the dark of the grave prepares for your birth.
Your death is your rising, creative your word:
the tree springs to life and our hope is restored. Topics: Jesus Christ Life and Ministry; God Known in Jesus Christ Life and Ministry; Freedom and Liberation; Jesus Christ; Jesus Christ: Cross; Jesus Christ: Life and Ministry; Jesus Christ: Presence Used With Tune: STANLEY BEACH

In Water We Grow
Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 4 hymnals Hymnal Title: Worship and Rejoice First Line: In water we grow, secure in the womb Lyrics: 1 In water we grow, secure in the womb,
and speechlessly know love's safety and room.
Baptizing and blessing, we publish for good
the freeing, caressing safekeeping of God.
2 In water we wash: the dirt of each day,
its trouble and rush are carried away.
In Christ recreated by love's cleansing art,
self will and self hatred dissolve and depart.
3 In water we dive, and cannot draw breath,
then surface alive, rebounding from death.
Our old self goes under, in Christ dead and drowned.
We rise, washed in wonder, by love clad and crowned.
4 In water we dwell, for by its deep flow
through bloodstream and cell, we live, think, and grow.
Praise God, love outflowing, whose well of new birth
baptizes our knowing, and waters the earth. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:1-4 Used With Tune: STANLEY BEACH

Fred Kaan
1929 - 2009 Hymnal Title: The United Methodist Hymnal Author of "We Meet You, O Christ" in The United Methodist Hymnal Fred Kaan Hymn writer. His hymns include both original work and translations. He sought to address issues of peace and justice. He was born in Haarlem in the Netherlands in July 1929. He was baptised in St Bavo Cathedral but his family did not attend church regularly. He lived through the Nazi occupation, saw three of his grandparents die of starvation, and witnessed his parents deep involvement in the resistance movement. They took in a number of refugees. He became a pacifist and began attending church in his teens.
Having become interested in British Congregationalism (later to become the United Reformed Church) through a friendship, he was attended Western College in Bristol. He was ordained in 1955 at the Windsor Road Congregational Church in Barry, Glamorgan.
In 1963 he was called to be minister of the Pilgrim Church in Plymouth. It was in this congregation that he began to write hymns. The first edition of Pilgrim Praise was published in 1968, going into second and third editions in 1972 and 1975. He continued writing many more hymns throughout his life.
