God, May Your Justice Roll Down

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 14.14.4.7.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: God, may your justice roll down like the waters you send here Lyrics: God, may your justice roll down like the waters you send here, And may your righteousness flow like a stream without end here! Praying this prayer, many have struggled and dared, All for the world you intend here. Christ, we give thanks for past saints who renewed education, Freed the oppressed, brought your healing and fought segregation. Savior and Lord, great were the risks they endured, Bearing your hope and salvation. We as your church now remember these stories of others And pray your Spirit will send us, as your sons and daughters. Show us the way we, too, can serve you each day Till justice rolls down like waters. Topics: Call/Vocation; Justice Scripture: Amos 5:24 Used With Tune: LOBE DEN HERREN

One Race, One Gospel, One Task

Author: Margaret Clarkson Meter: 14.14.4.7.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: One is the race of mankind under sin's condemnation Lyrics: 1 One is the race of mankind under sin's condemnation, one is the gospel that frees us from death's domination; one is our task--sin, death and hell to unmask, showing God's way of salvation. 2 One is the Word that can speak to our fallen condition: Jesus alone can redeem us and give sin's remission. His saving name we must forever proclaim: only in Christ is salvation. 3 One is the task that our Lord to his Church has committed; his is the Spirit by whom for his work we are fitted. No more our own, we serve the Master alone-- Jesus, who won our salvation! 4 One is the hope of eternal rejoicing before us; one is the song we shall share in God's heavenly chorus: till that glad day let us Christ's mandate obey-- tell the whole world of salvation.

God unto men draweth near, Bringing to lost ones salvation. 2 Triumph, ye heavens! rejoice, O ye nations and wonder! God and the sinner no power of the devil may sunder. "Peace and good-will!" Hark! it is echoing still, Silencing Sinai's thunder! 3 God in man’s nature! O mystery past comprehending! Now is the temple thrown wide and the incense ascending! Christ is the way! We who were once far away, Now at His footstool are bending. 4 Hast Thou, O Holy One, deigned of my need to be thinking? Chosen me, called me, the waters of life to be drinking? Shall not my mind Fullness of blessing here find, Deep in humility sinking? 5 King of all glory! what grace in Thy humiliation! Thou wert a child who of old wert the Lord of creation! Thee will I own, thee would I follow alone, Heir of Thy wondrous salvation. 6 Faithful Immanuel! let me Thy glories be telling; Ever, my Savior, be Thou in mine inmost heart dwelling. With me abide; Teach me to stay at Thy side, Where the love-fountain is welling. 7 Friend of the sinner! Lord Jesus! my spirit is soaring Where Thou art throned, on Thy head the sweet spikenard still pouring. Take me above, There will I sing of Thy love, Ever Thy person adoring.
