1. Hope of the world, Thou Christ of great com-pas-sion,
Speak to our fear-ful hearts by con-flict rent.
Save us Thy peo-ple, from con-sum-ing pas-sion,
Who by our own false hopes and aims are spent.
2. Hope of the world, God's gift from high-est heav-en,
Bring-ing to hun-gry souls the bread of life,
Still let Thy Spir-it un-to us be giv-en
To heal earth's wounds and end our bit-ter strife.
3. Hope of the world, a-foot on dust-y high-ways,
Show-ing to wan-dring souls the path of light;
Walk Thou be-side us lest the tempt-ing by-ways
Lure us a-way from Thee to end-less night.
4. Hope of the world, who by Thy cross didst safe us
From death and deep de-spair, from sin and guilt;
We ren-der back the love Thy mer-cy gave us;
Take thou our lives and use them as Thou wilt.
5. Hope of the world, O Christ, o'er death vic-to-rious,
Who by this sign didst con-quer grief and pain,
We would be faith-ful to Thy gos-pel glo-rious:
Thou art our Lord! Thou dost for-ev-er reign!

You know, Lord whether I'm wrong.
You know, whether I'm right or wrong.

Track 04 - Christ You Walked Among the Grain Fields - (Gillette, White - N. America ~ BEACH SPRING)
Tune name: BEACH SPRING Meter: 87.87.D (“God, Whose Giving Knows No Ending”) Tune by: The Sacrd Harp, 1844 Text: © 2005 by Carolyn Winfrey Gillette
1. Christ, you walked among the grain fields, Finding lessons all around:
“Like the harvest that the earth yields, So God's kingdom will abound.”
“See! A sower goes out planting; Some seed grows a hundredfold.”
Here on earth you gave us heaven In the stories that you told.
2. Lord, you shared God's kingdom-bounty, Yet you know our pain and need.
Some are poor in lands of plenty, Often hurt by others' greed.
Some, possessed by their possessions, Look for more to buy and keep;
Others long for simpler blessings: “Let my hungry children eat.”
3. Lord, you send us out to labor, To pass on the love you give;
City friend and country neighbor Work as one so all may live.
Lending land and tools and vision, Sharing costs and planting seed -
Work we love becomes our mission As we serve your world in need.
4. May our harvest celebration Build new food security;
As we care for your creation, May we find community.
By your Holy Spirit bless us And may what we grow increase
Till the whole world sees new glimpses Of your joyful banquet feast.
Track 05 - Christ, Be Our Light - (Bernadette Farrell - N. America)
1. Longing for light, we wait in darkness.
Longing for truth, we turn to you.
Make us your own, your holy people,
light for the world to see.
REFRAIN
Christ, be our light! Shine in our hearts.
Shine through the darkness.
Christ, be our light! Shine in your church gathered today.
2. Longing for peace, our world is troubled.
Longing for hope, many despair.
Your word alone has pow’r to save us.
Make us your living voice. REFRAIN
3. Longing for food, many are hungry.
Longing for water, many still thirst.
Make us your bread, broken for others, shared until all are fed. REFRAIN
4. Longing for shelter, many are homeless.
Longing for warmth, many are cold.
Make us your building, sheltering others, walls made of living stone. REFRAIN
5. Many the gifts, many the people,
many the hearts that yearn to belong.
Let us be servants to one another, making your kingdom come. REFRAIN
Track 06 - ...until all are fed - (Brown, McFarland, Morris - N. America)
1. How long will we sing? / How long will we pray?
How long will we write and send?
How long will we bring? / How long will we stay?
How long will we make amends?
REFRAIN
Until all are fed we cry out. / Until all on earth have bread.
Like the One who loves us each & every one... / We serve until all are fed.
2. How long will we talk / How long will we prod?
How long must we fret and hoard?
How long will we walk to tear down this facade?
How long? How long, O Lord?! REFRAIN
3. How can we stand by / And fail to be aghast?
How long 'til we do what's right?
How could we stand by / And choose a lesser fast?
How long 'til we see the light? REFRAIN
4. On the green, green grass they gathered long ago.
To hear what the Master said.
What they had they shared - some fishes and some loaves.
And they served until all were fed. REFRAIN
Track 07 - Singing For OUR Supper - (McFarland - N. America)
We are scattered 'round the planet / We are gathered for a feast
We are hungry and misled / Undernourished and overfed
North and South and West and East
And we are joining hands - each and ev'ry land
Bound by love to one another
Let us make our choice - lifting ev'ry voice
We are singing for our supper
We work hard to make a living / We get rich and we get by
And we all need daily bread, / But for more and more it's daily dread
It's hard to live and harder to survive
So we are joining hands - each and ev'ry land
Bound by love for one another
Let us make our choice - lifting ev'ry voice
We are singing for our supper
God has made it plain and simple / What to do and how to be
Do what's right, love with kindness, and... / Walk with God humbly.
So we are joining hands - each and ev'ry land
Bound by love for God and one another
Let us make our choice - lifting ev'ry voice
We are singing for our supper (2X)

We gather here / In Jesus name
His love is burning in our hearts like living flame
For thru the loving Son / The Father makes us one
Come take the bread / Come drink the wine / Come share the Lord

We in turn forgive all wrongs

The Lord who pours the cup is risen from the dead
The one we love the most / Is now our gracious host
Come take the bread / Come drink the wine / Come share the Lord
We are now a family / Of which the Lord is Head
Though unseen he meets us here

Come take the bread / Come drink the wine / Come share the Lord

Now is the time that the world must hear
the task that God has called us to: REFRAIN

you weren't seeking the wise or the wealthy,

O Lord, in my eyes you were gazing,
Kindly smiling, my name you were saying;
All I treasured, I have left on the sand there;
Close to you, I will find other seas.
