Let Streams of Living Justice – ELW 710
Let streams of living justice flow down upon the earth,
give freedom’s light to captives; let all the poor have worth.
The hungry’s hands are pleading; the workers claim their rights,
the mourners long for laughter, the blinded seek for sight.
Make liberty a beacon, strike down the iron pow’r.
Abolish ancient vengeance. Proclaim your people’s hour.
For healing of the nations, for peace that will not end,
for love that makes us lovers, God grant us grace to mend.
Weave our varied gifts together: knit our lives as they are spun.
on your loom of time enroll us till our thread of life is run.
O great Weaver of our fabric, bind church and world in one.
dye our texture with your radiance, light our colors with your sun.
Your city’s built for music: we are the stones you seek;
your harmony is language; we are the words you speak.
Our faith we find in service, our hope in other’s dreams.
Our love in hand of neighbor; our homeland brightly gleams.
Inscribe our hearts with justice; your way – the path untried:
your truth – the heart of stranger, your life – the Crucified.
Vision Statement
Our vision is to be faithful servants, living by God's Word and supporting others to do so while extending to all the teachings of Jesus Christ by reaching out to neighbors and strangers, seeking justice while constantly striving for and supporting diversity in our congregation.
American and Swedish church leaders sign joint climate justice pledge Church leaders and ecumenical organizations join tens of thousands in marching through the streets of New York City in a Climate Strike on 20 September, demanding climate justice now. Photo: Simon Chambers/ACT 26 September 2019 The Episcopal Church, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and Church of Sweden have signed a joint pledge related to climate justice. The message urges action on the unprecedented negative effects of climate change. “As we observe the Season of Creation, we renew the call for our churches to work together for the sake of Earth and to build collaborations wherever possible, both with other communities of faith and with diverse agents in our civil society,” the text reads. “Now is the time for science, politics, business, culture and religion - everything that is an expression of human dignity - to address together this critical issue for our time.” The church leaders acknowledged they have been slow to recognize the urgency of this crisis. “We have turned away from our own roles in environmental degradation, clinging as we could to lifestyles of unsustainable waste and overuse even as others suffer from lack of necessities,” continues the message. “Moreover, majority cultures have ignored the insights of indigenous siblings among us who are too often deeply affected by climate change, even as they bear spiritual practices and wisdom that can help the people of God to walk a more sustainable - and more loving - course.” The church leaders pledged to advocate for national and international policies and regulations that enable transitions to carbon neutral, resilient societies. “We will pursue education and advocacy efforts that attend to the most vulnerable, whose needs must be put ahead of the more privileged,” concludes the message. “We will raise awareness in our churches by promoting the use of education, worship and action resources available locally, regionally, nationally and globally.”
