42 Treasured Favorites

Use MeNEW!

The gospels tell us that no one should put new wine into old win skins lest they burst. Well, we’ve put a new twist on this familiar Scripture passage. The title for this collection, New Wine in Old Wineskins, reflects the marriage of new hymn texts by modern writers to time-honored hymn tunes from many different traditions. Familiar “old wineskins” like DUKE STREET, OLD HUNDREDTH, BEECHER, HYFRYDOL, HYMN TO JOY, and ABBOT’S LEIGH are filled with “new wine” by such illustrious text writers as Brian Wren; Carl p. daw, Jr.; Sylvia Dunstan; Ruth Duck; Herman Stuempfle, Jr.; Jane Parker Huber; Fred Kaan; Mary Louise Bringle; Shirley Erena Murray; and John Bell. This book has a fine selection of lesser-known tunes by the likes of Margaret pleasant douroux and Charles A. Tindley.

Spirits That Dwell in Deep Woods Wyatt Tee Walker

Twenty years after the Emancipation, the children of slaves found themselves living in the reality of separateness, and their religious practice turned increas-ingly inward. A unique body of hymnody grew out of that period, approximately 1885—1925. These are songs of Southern origin and rural people. These songs are different from spirituals and meter hymns yet show the latter’s influence. Originally published in three volumes, they have been edited and combined by James Abbington into one clothbound edition. Also available is a Cd recording of all of the music discussed in the book and a music edition.

49 Hidden Treasuresfrom the African American Heritage Hymnal

With the publication of the African American Heritage Hymnal in 2001, churches everywhere have been singing the praises of god using this invaluable resource.

This compilation of 49 hymns, as well as the second volume of 46, will expose your choir and congregation to a new world of hidden treasures.

Some of the titles included: When, in Our Music, God Is Glorified • The Strife Is O’er • There’s a Bright Side Somewhere • Thuma Mina • Amen Siakudumisa • A Stable Lamp Is Lighted • Heaven’s Christmas Tree • I Know It Was the Blood • Spirit Song • Koinonia • He Knows Just What I Need • Lord, Keep Me Day by Day • Remember Me • Where Shall I Be?

“The African American Heritage Hymnal is probably the most important addition to Protestant

hymnody within the past century . . .”

“The Black community in America has, since the turn of the century, made broad use of Euro-American

authored hymns, but our use and singing was distinctly different from the musical notation

in the hymnal. This is another feature of the African American Heritage Hymnal in that

the musical notations follow very closely the style of performance when African Americans are at worship. . . . Of special

value is the inclusion of the prayer and praise hymns, which remain at risk because so few of this genre have ever

been musically notated other than in the hearts and memories of believers.”

RESPONSIVE READINGS

Old Testament: Deut. 6:4-7; Prov. 23:12-13, 15,22:6; Isa. 54:4-8

Hear, O Israel: The LORD is our God, theLORD alone. You shall love the LORD yourGod with all your heart, and with all yoursoul, and with all your might.

Keep these words that I am commandingyou today in your heart.

Recite them to your children and talk aboutthem when you are at home and when youare away, when you lie down and when yourise.

Apply your mind to instruction and yourear to words of knowledge. Do not with-hold discipline from your children.

My child, if your heart is wise, my heart toowill be glad.

Train children in the right way, and whenold, they will not stray.

Do not fear, for you will not be ashamed; donot be discouraged, for you will not sufferdisgrace;

For you will forget the shame of youryouth, and the disgrace of your widow-hood you will remember no more.

For your Maker is your husband, the LORD

of hosts is his name; the Holy One of Israelis your Redeemer, the God of the wholeearth he is called.

For the LORD has called you like a wifeforsaken and grieved in spirit, like thewife of a man’s youth when she is cast off,says your God.

For a brief moment I abandoned you, butwith great compassion I will gather you.

In overflowing wrath for a moment I hidmy face from you, but with everlastinglove I will have compassion on you, saysthe LORD, your Redeemer.

New Testament: Mk. 3:31-35; Lk. 11:11-13; Jn.19:26-27; Col. 3:14-15, 18-21

Then his mother and his brothers came; andstanding outside, they sent to him and calledhim. A crowd was sitting around him; andthey said to him, “Your mother and yourbrothers and sisters are outside, asking foryou.”

And he replied, “Who are my mother andmy brothers?”

And looking at those who sat around him,he said, “Here are my mother and my broth-ers! Whoever does the will of God is mybrother and sister and mother.”

Is there anyone among you who, if yourchild asks for a fish, will give a snakeinstead of a fish? Or if the child asks foran egg, will give a scorpion?

If you then, who are evil, know how to givegood gifts to your children, how much morewill the heavenly Father give the Holy Spir-it to those who ask him!

When Jesus saw his mother and the disci-ple whom he loved standing beside her,he said to his mother, “Woman, here isyour son.”

Then he said to the disciple, “Here is yourmother.” And from that hour the discipletook her into his own home.

Above all, clothe yourselves with love,which binds everything together in per-fect harmony. And let the peace of Christrule in your hearts, to which indeed youwere called in the one body. And bethankful.

Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fit-ting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wivesand never treat them harshly.

Children, obey your parents in every-thing, for this is your acceptable duty inthe Lord. Fathers, do not provoke yourchildren, or they may lose heart.

11. FAMILY

LITANIES

In every era, God has chosen men and women to serve the needs of his people. Such a ser-vant was Martin Luther King, Jr., whose birth we celebrate. We are deeply thankful for thelife of this twentieth century prophet.

May the wisdom and words of Martin Luther King rekindle our faith.

May the deep love that Dr. King had for all people be released in us, that we too mightwork miracles in the lives of those who continue to hate.

Dr. King taught that only love can overcome hatred, bitterness and fear.

May his struggle for social transformation continue in this generation. May all people cometo believe that with perseverance, “We Shall Overcome”.

“But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an everflowing stream.”(Am. 5:24)

May the work of Dr. King continue to eradicate racial injustice and its ungodly conse-quences.

Dr. King pursued his dream for racial equality by appealing to the conscience of hisenemies.

May we continue to cultivate the nonviolent discipline of Dr. King, abandoning unre-strained acts of force.

He taught us that a heart full of grace and love is just as important as an education.

May the spirit of Dr. King continue to flow through our daily living.

He believed in self-respect and dignity, even though he knew that there would be diffi-cult days ahead.

May we have the courage of Dr. King as we continue to stand up for justice, reconciliationand truth, despite challenge and controversy.

Dr. King said that war is never a victory, regardless of the outcome.

May the peace of the risen Christ cause the fury of war to vanish from the face of the earth.

Dr. King went to the mountain top; he saw the Promised Land; and he reassured usthat we will get there one day. God of Glory, be with us on the journey.
