When in Our Music God Is Glorified

Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: CoCS2013 #1 (2013) Meter: 10.10.10 with alleluias Lyrics: 1 When in our music God is glorified, and adoration leaves no room for pride, it is as though the whole creation cried: Alleluia! 2 How often, making music, we have found a new dimension in the world of sound, as worship moved us to a more profound Alleluia! 3 So has the church, in liturgy and song, in faith and love, through centuries of wrong, borne witness to the truth in every tongue, Alleluia! 4 And did not Jesus sing a psalm that night when utmost evil strove against the light? Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight: Alleluia! 5 Let every instrument be tuned for praise! Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise! And may God give us faith to sing always: Alleluia!

How Can We Name a Love

Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Hymnal: CoCS2013 #2 (2013) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 How can we name a Love that wakens heart and mind, indwelling all we know or think or do or seek or find? Within our daily world, in every human face, Love's echoes sound and God is found, hid in the commonplace. 2 If we awoke to life upheld by loving care that asked no great reward but firm, assured, was simply there, we can, with parents' names, describe, and thus adore, Love unconfined, our Father kind, our Mother strong and sure. 3 When people share a task, and strength and skills unite in projects old or new, to make or do with shared delight, our Friend and Partner's will is better understood, that all should share, create, and care, and know that life is good. 4 So in a hundred names, each day we all can meet a presence, sensed and shown at work, at home, or in the street. Yet names and titles all shine in a brighter sun: in Christ alone is full Love grown and life and hope begun.
