O God of every nation
Author: William Watkins Reid, 1923- Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God of every nation,
of every race and land,
redeem your whole creation
with your almighty hand;
where hate and fear divide us,
and bitter threats are hurled,
in love and mercy guide us
and heal our strife-torn world.
2 From search for wealth and power
and scorn of truth and right,
from trust in bombs that shower
destruction through the night,
from pride of race and nation
and blindness to your way,
deliver every nation,
eternal God, we pray.
3 Lord, strengthen all who labour
that all may find release
from fear of rattling saber,
from dread of war's increase;
when hope and courage falter,
Lord, let your voice be heard;
with faith that none can alter
your servants undergird.
4 Keep bright in us the vision
of days when war shall cease,
when hatred and division
give way to love and peace,
till dawns the morning glorious
when truth and justice reign,
and Christ shall rule victorious
o'er all the world's domain. Topics: General Petition; International Affairs; Peace of the World; Reconciliation Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:6-10 Used With Tune: CRAIGMILLAR

Tomorrow Christ Is Coming
Author: Fred Kaan, 1929-2009 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Tomorrow Christ is coming
as yesterday he came;
a child is born this moment–
we do not know its name.
The world is full of darkness,
again there is no room;
the symbols of existence
are stable, cross, and tomb.
2 Tomorrow will be Christmas,
the feast of love divine,
but for the nameless millions
the star will never shine.
Still is the census taken
with people on the move;
new infants born in stables
are crying out for love.
3 There will be no tomorrows
for many a baby born.
Good Friday falls on Christmas
when life is sown as corn.
But Jesus Christ is risen
and comes again in bread
to still our deepest hunger
and raise us from the dead.
4 Our God becomes incarnate
in every human birth.
Created in God's image,
we must make peace on earth.
God will fulfill Love's purpose
and this shall be the sign:
we shall find Christ among us
as woman, child, or man. Topics: Advent; Children; Cross; Eternal Life; Jesus Christ The Incarnation; Peace on Earth; Poverty; Sacred Story; Suffering Scripture: Matthew 25:31-36 Used With Tune: CRAIGMILLAR
