"Fear not!" the angel said,
"God's joy is in the air!
Now go to Bethlehem and see
A newborn baby there.

2
A Savior, yet a child!
So young, and yet the Lord!"
God's grace astounds, God's love surrounds
This sinful, hurting world.

3
Fear not, you hungry child,
You homeless refugee,
You battered woman, burdened down —
God came to set you free.

4
For God's own Son was poor;
He cried and suffered, too.
God's grace astounds; God's love abounds
For people just like you.

5
Fear not when questions come:
"How can I know God's way?"
"Do my possessions weigh me down?"
"Can God change me today?"


6
For Jesus came to be
True bread that satisfies;
And in his birth, God touched the earth.
Christ saves, forgives, and guides.

7
Fear not, you church of Christ,
Distracted and distressed,
For long ago in troubled times,
Christ came, and we were blest.


8
Our Prince of Peace is born —
Our light, our life, our song!
In him we see our unity,
In him God makes us strong.

For wealth of little orayers

When my despair is plain to see,
Are there my soul to feed.

If, on a quiet sea,
Toward Heav’n we calmly sail,
With grateful hearts, to Thee,
We’ll own the fav’ring gale.

2
But should the surges rise,
And rest delay to come.
Blest be the tempest storm,
Which drives us nearer home.

3
Soon shall our doubts and fears
All yield to Thy control;
Thy tender mercies shall illume
The midnight of the soul.

4
Teach us, in every state,
To make Thy will our own;
When joys of sense depart,
To live by faith alone.

5
If, on a quiet sea,
Toward Heav’n we calmly sail,
With grateful hearts, to Thee,

"O Teacher, don't you care?" the Lord's disciples cried.
"The waves are beating everywhere — We'll surely die!"
They called to him in dread, for mighty storms could kill.
Then Jesus spoke into the fury, "Peace! Be still!"

Lord, still the storm winds blow, and still we cry in fear:
We too are sinking, don't you know? Lord, are you here?
We seek to live your way, yet sorrows beat us down.
We feel alone and wonder: Where can peace be found?

Your church, your little boat, is struggling in the seas.
We question if we'll stay afloat in times like these.
The world is raging round; there's trouble everywhere.
When we are facing mighty storms, Lord, hear our prayer.

What strength and love you've shown! So calm your church's fear.
Remind us that we're not alone, for you are here.
And though the waves are strong and winds blow where they will,
Your peaceful presence in our lives is greater still.

And to my listening ears
All nature sings, and round me rings
The music of the spheres.

This is my Father's world:

Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas;

The birds their carols raise,
The morning light, the lily white,
Declare their maker's praise.

4
This is my Father's world,
He shines in all that's fair;
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass;
He speaks to me everywhere.

5
This is my Father's world.
O let me ne'er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the ruler yet.

The Lord is King; let the heavens ring!
God reigns; let the earth be glad!

Of Mary's gentle breast,

In her fond arms at rest;
Thus to his Father's house
He comes, the heavenly guest.

In reverent wonder stands;
And, filled with holy joy,
Old Simeon in his hands\

Takes up the promised child,
The glory of all lands
Hail to the great First-born,

The Son before all worlds,
The child of man to-day,
That he might ransom us
Who still in bondage lay.

1
Through devastating storms, through times of heat and drought,
through fire and flood, creation mourns and so cries out.

2
As hot and cold extremes cause overwhelming need,
the earth bears witness to the cost of human greed.

3
We're always wanting more; we spend and build and buy.
To meet our wants, we hurt the poor — till many die.

4
The world that we have built is one we can't sustain,
and all around us, God's creation cries in pain.

5
Creator, by your grace, you give the gift of life —
You entered into time and space in Jesus Christ.

6
Your Spirit makes us strong to tend and heal and lift —
and helps us see creation as a sacred gift.

7
There's no time left to wait! May we be bold to give.
May we plant trees and advocate and gently live —

8
God, as we love the earth and love each other, too,
may we bring hope and healing to this world with you.
