Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the Lord!
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Hymnal: NCP1975 #92 (1975) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the Lord!
Unnumbered blessings, give my spirit voice;
tender to me the promise of his word;
in God my Saviour shall my heart rejoice.
2 Tell out, my soul, the greatness of his name!
Make known his might, the deeds his arm has done;
his mercy sure, from age to age the same;
his holy name--the Lord, the Mighty One.
3 Tell out, my soul, the greatness of his might!
Powers and dominions lay their glory by;
proud hearts and stubborn wills are put to flight,
the hungry fed, the humble lifted high.
4 Tell out, my soul, the glories of his word!
Firm is his promise, and his mercy sure.
Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the Lord

As we break the bread
Author: Fred Kaan (b. 1929) Hymnal: NCP1975 #5 (1975) Meter: 5.6.6.4 Lyrics: 1 Awake from sleep, the night is spent!
The morning star moves up the sky:
the hosts of heaven, with sweet consent,
proclaim salvation's time is high.
Come, praise the long-implored,
our Saviour, Christ the Lord!
2 While man, the rather sin to choose,
prepares the purple, plants the thorn,
the Word of God our flesh endues
that we, by will of God reborn,
the sons of God may be
to all eternity.
3 Let regal power and humble beast
and shepherd, serving both, attend;
since all, from greatest unto least,
are proffered bliss which shall not end,
where spreads his banquet-board
our Saviour, Christ the Lord.
4 In Bethlehem, the House of Bread,
a richer harvest now is sown;
for none at Jesus' table fed
shall ever thirst or hunger own,
but shall from foes be free
to all eternity.
5 Greet the fulfilment of your dreams,
sad earth, by Adam's plague oppressed!
May he whose lowliness redeems
both north and south, both east and west,
now be by all adored,
our Saviour, Christ the Lord. Topics: Communion Languages: English Tune Title: PLATTS LANE

Lord, bring the day to pass

when forest, rock and hill,
the beasts, the birds, the grass,
will know your finished will:
when man attains his destiny
and nature its lost unity.
2 Forgive our careless use
of water, ore and soil--
the plenty we abuse
supplied by others' toil:
save us from making self our creed,
turn us towards our brother's need.

creation's secret powers,
to harness them for peace--
our children's peace and ours:
teach us the art of mastering
which makes life rich and draws death's sting.

Once on a mountain-top
Author: Michael Hewlett (b. 1916) Hymnal: NCP1975 #75 (1975) Meter: 6.6.8.5.6.6.8.4 Lyrics: 1 Once on a mountain-top
there stood three startled men
who saw the veil of nature drop
and heaven shine in.
Their friend of every day,
the face they knew for his,
they saw for one half-hour the way
he always is.
2 Yet men have lived and died
and found of God no trace.
'Thou art a God' (the prophet cried)
'who hidest thy face.'
The earth lies all explored,
the heavens are ours to climb;
and still no man has seen his God
at any time.
3 And minds that learn to scan
creation like a book
say nothing lives outside their plan
and so never look.
O Lord of hidden light,
forgive us who despise
the things which lie beyond our sight,
and give us eyes. Topics: Transfiguration Languages: English Tune Title: TRANSFIGURATION

'Am I my brother's keeper?'
Author: John Ferguson (b. 1921) Hymnal: NCP1975 #2 (1975) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 'Am I my brother's keeper?'—
the muttered cry was drowned
by Abel's life-blood shouting
in silence from the ground.
For no man is an island
divided from the main,
the bell which tolled for Abel
tolled equally for Cain.
2 The ruler called for water
and thought his hands were clean.
Christ counted less than order,
the man than the machine.
The crowd cried, 'Crucify him!',
their malice wouldn't budge,
so Pilate called for water,
and history's his judge.
3 As long as people hunger,
as long as people thirst,
and ignorance and illness
and warfare do their worst,
as long as there's injustice
in any of God's lands,
I am my brother's keeper,
I dare not wash my hands. Topics: World and Society Justice and Peace Languages: English Tune Title: ABEL
