To Abraham the Promise Came

Hymnal: The Worshipbook #608 (1972) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Other Observances Ecumenism; Other Observances Mission; Other Observances Stewardship; Other Observances World Peace Lyrics: 1 To Abraham the promise came, And to his seed for ever, A light to shine in Isaac's line, By scripture we discover; Hail, promised morn! the Savior's born, he glorious Mediator— God's blessed Word made flesh and blood, Assumed the human nature. 2 His parents poor in earthly store, To entertain the stranger They found no bed to lay his head, But in the ox's manger: No royal things, as used by kings, Were seen by those that found him, But in the hay the stranger lay, With swaddling bands around him. 3 On the same night a glorious light To shepherds there appeared, Bright angels came in shining flame, They saw and greatly feared. The angels said, "Be not afraid, Although we much alarm you, We do appear good news to bear, As now we will inform you. 4 "The city's name is Bethlehem, In which God hath appointed, This glorious morn a Savior's born, For him God hath anointed; By this you'll know, if you will go, To see this little stranger, His lovely charms in Mary's arms, Both lying in a manger." 5 When this was said, straightway was made A glorious sound from heaven: Each flaming tongue an anthem sung, "To men a Savior's given, In Jesus' name, the glorious theme, We elevate our voices, At Jesus' birth be peace on earth, Meanwhile all heaven rejoices." 7. Then with delight they took their flight, and winged their way to glory, The shepherds gazed and were amazed, to hear the pleasing story; To Bethlehem they quickly came, the glorious news to carry, And in the stall they found them all, Joseph, the Babe, and Mary. 8. The shepherds then returned again to their own habitation, With joy of heart they did depart, now they have found salvation. Glory, they cry, to God on high, who sent his Son to save us This glorious morn the Savior's born, his name it is Christ Jesus. Scripture: Matthew 1 Tune Title: THE BABE OF BETHLEHEM

"Am I My Brother's Keeper?"

Author: Ian Ferguson Hymnal: The Worshipbook #295 (1972) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Other Observances Christian Education; Other Observances Mission; Other Observances World Peace 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. Amen. Tune Title: WHITFORD

Amen. Scripture: John 8:12 Tune Title: ST. PETER

Amen. Scripture: Ephesians 2:19-22 Tune Title: KIRKEN (BUILT ON THE ROCK)
