Deep in the Shadows of the Past

Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: GG2013 #50 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Deep in the shadows of the past, far out from settled lands, some nomads traveled with their God across the desert sands. The dawning hope of humankind by them was sensed and shown: a promise calling them ahead, a future yet unknown. 2 While others bowed to changeless gods, they met a mystery, invisible, without a name: "I AM WHAT I WILL BE"; and by their tents, around their fires in story, song, and law, they praised, remembered, handed on a past that promised more. 3 From Exodus to Pentecost the promise changed and grew, while some, remembering the past, recorded what they knew, or with their letters and laments, their prophecy and praise, recovered, kindled, and expressed new hope for changing days. 4 For all the writings that survived, for leaders, long ago, who sifted, copied, and preserved the Bible that we know, give thanks, and find its story yet our promise, strength, and call, the model of emerging faith, alive with hope for all.

O God, Who Gives Us Life

Help us to know your Spirit still is making all things new. 2 O God, who calls your people out to venture and to dare, to plumb the bleak abyss of doubt and find you even there: when we despair in wandering through wastes of empty lies, refresh us with the living spring of hope that never dies. 3 O God of covenant and law, revealed in cloud and flame, your mighty deeds evoke our awe; we dare not speak your name. Yet we by faith are drawn to you and will your people prove, as on our hearts you write anew the covenant of love.

Hymnal: GG2013 #58 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: When Israel was going forth Lyrics: 1 When Israel was going forth from out of Egypt’s land, and Jacob’s house from foreign tongues they could not understand, 2 to be God’s holy dwelling place, God’s choice on Judah fell, and there as God’s dominion took God’s chosen Israel. 3 The sea beheld and fled away; the Jordan stopped its flow. The mountains skipped like rams; the hills like lambs skipped to and fro. 4 O sea, why did you run away? O Jordan, why turn tide? You mounts and hills, like rams and lambs, why leap on every side? 5 O tremble, earth, before the Lord; the God of Jacob fear; God made the rock a water pool, the stone a fountain clear.
