For the healing of the nations
Author: Fred Kaan (b. 1929) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #706 (2005) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Justice and Peace Lyrics: 1 For the healing of the nations,
Lord, 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. Scripture: Galatians 5:26 Languages: English Tune Title: TRIUMPH

Christ is alive! Let Christians sing
Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #199 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Justice and Peace Lyrics: 1 Christ is alive! Let Christians sing.
The cross stands empty to the sky.
Let streets and homes with praises ring.
Love, drowned in death, shall never die.
2 Christ is alive! No longer bound
to distant years in Palestine,
but saving, healing, here and now,
and touching every place and time.
3 In every insult, rift and war,
where colour, scorn or wealth divide,
Christ suffers still, yet loves the more,
and lives, where even hope has died.
4 Women and men, in age and youth,
can feel the Spirit, hear the call,
and find the way, the life, the truth,
revealed in Jesus, freed for all.
5 Christ is alive, and comes to bring
good news to this and every age,
till earth and sky and ocean ring
with joy, with justice, love and praise. Scripture: Matthew 28 Languages: English Tune Title: TRURO
Christ is alive! Let Christians sing
How shall we sing salvation's song
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #561 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Justice and Peace Lyrics: 1 How shall we sing salvation's song
when justice stands denied,
when greed and tyranny and wrong
prevail on every side?
Shall silent fall our voice of praise,
as on the willows hung
the harps that told of happier days
when songs of home were sung?
2 Yet still we sing as Moses sang
beside the parted wave,
when Canaan's skies in triumph rang
to God the strong to save.
We too in psalms like David sing,
as David's faith we claim,
who sang as shepherd-boy and king
of God's eternal name.
3 And we have blessings more than they
in Christ our risen Lord,
himself our Life and Truth and Way,
his Spirit on us poured.
For ours the cross where Jesus died,
the love that bore our sins;
to him, enthroned and glorified,
salvation's song begins. Scripture: Exodus 15 Languages: English Tune Title: LLANGARRON
How shall we sing salvation's song
To you, O Christ, the Prince of Peace
Author: Richard Sturch (b. 1936) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #570 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Justice and Peace Lyrics: 1 To you, O Christ, the Prince of Peace,
the source of love and pity,
we bring in prayer and penitence
the countryside and city;
the poverty that troubles both,
the vanity that fools us,
the walls that keep our lives apart,
the ignorance that rules us.
2 As once you walked in Galilee,
and learned its paths and valleys,
or met within Jerusalem
the crowds from streets and alleys;
so help us learn our age's needs
and meet those needs with caring,
your world and people see in all,
your love and gospel sharing.
3 Lord, let us never pass our days
indifferent to others;
or build up walls that hide from sight
our sisters and our brothers;
through windows barred and shuttered tight
how can your sunshine reach us?
O make us open to your truth,
your love and service teach us!
4 May all the darkness we have made
and sins that have controlled us
fade in the glory of your light,
and your strong love enfold us.
Bring us to new Jerusalem,
your Bride from heaven descending,
the City of the Father's peace
and joy that has no ending. Scripture: Matthew 25:31-46 Languages: English Tune Title: BUGEILIO'R GWENITH GWYN
To you, O Christ, the Prince of Peace
