Community of Christ

Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Meter: 12.12.12.12 Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: Community of Christ, who make the cross your own Lyrics: 1 Community of Christ, who make the cross your own, live out your creed and risk your life for God alone: the God who wears your face, to whom all worlds belong, whose children are of every race and every song. 2 Community of Christ, look past the church's door and see the refugee, the hungry, and the poor. Take hands with the oppressed, the jobless in your street, take towel and water, that you wash your neighbor's feet. 3 Community of Christ, through whom the word must sound– cry out for justice and for peace the whole world round: disarm the pow'rs that war and all that can destroy, turn bombs to bread, and tears of anguish into joy. 4 When menace melts away, so shall God's will be done, the climate of the world be peace and Christ its Sun; our currency be love and kindliness our law, our food and faith be shared as one for evermore.

My spirit shrivels up, my heart numbs with despair, in awe of your great deeds I raise my earnest prayer. 2 I thirst for your response, thirst like the desert lands; entreating you, my God, I lift my outstretched hands. Lord, quickly make reply and do not hide your face, or else my spirit faints from lack of your embrace. 3 Because I trust in you and offer you my prayer, let me, when morning comes, discern your loving care. My heart is set on you; this earnest plea I make, that you will show the road my life is meant to take.

They Did Not Build in Vain

Author: Alan Luff Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 They did not build in vain who founded here a church as witness to God's love amid a world of pain; They built upon the rock that is the risen Christ, the one foundation laid, that stands each earthly shock. 2 Those who have loved this place, a cloud of witnesses, surround and urge us on as we now run our race; Though the horizon's bend conceals the way ahead, the footprints on the road show Christ waits at the end; 3 In every place our world is storm and tempest tossed, the flames of fear and hate are evil's flags unfurled; Yet still the Spirit's power in wind and fire of love pours gifts upon the church for service in this hour. 4 Here is our meeting place where doubt finds grounds of faith, where hurt finds healing love, our penitence your grace; Where God in Trinity is bridge from death to life, from sin to holiness, time to eternity.

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We turn to Christ anew who hear his call today, his way to walk, his will pursue, his word obey. To serve him as our king and of his kingdom learn, from sin and ev'ry evil thing to hm we turn. 2 We trust in Christ to save; in him new life begins: who by his cross a ransom gave from all our sins. Our spirit's strength and stay who when all flesh is dust will keep us in that final day, in him we trust. 3 We would be true to him till earthly journeys end, whose love no passing years can dim, our changeless friend. May we who bear his name our faith and love renew, to follow Christ our single aim, and find him true.
