Our circle is just right.saintswithoutborders.weebly.com/uploads/8/2/9/5/... · Our circle is just...

Our circle is just right. The city has an ordered mix.

The school, the proper chemistry. The church, politeness re-defined.

The club, propriety itself. It’s good the way it is.

The borders should be closed. The rules should be maintained.

The limits should be clear. The sanctions should be plain.

Our circle is just right . . . But God, who cares about such things, and grieves when we usurp God’s place

has picked some crayons from a box, and with a child-like sense of right

is drawing something new. The Holy Artist laughs and sings,

then calls to us, “Come look at this!” This circle brings folks in;

a carousel of love and light a place where dancing folks drop hands,

and take one joyful, giant step, invite the stragglers in,

rejoin their hands, and dance the night away.

- John Thornburg, FHS

Recently, The Hymn Society in the United States and Canada articulated its purpose in these words:

We believe that the holy act of singing together shapes faith, heals brokenness, transforms lives,

and renews peace.

For nearly 100 years, the work of The Hymn Society has included the promotion and creation of new

hymns that respond to contemporary issues, inviting Christian communities to respond in worship

through song. The current concerns surrounding refugees and immigrants has stimulated many

expressions in song, and we are grateful to the authors, composers, and publishers who submitted

hymns and songs for consideration for this collection. More than 200 submissions were received and

reviewed, from which we have selected forty-six for this collection.

We envision this collection finding use in a variety of ways and in a variety of contexts. Here are a few

possibilities:

• Worship planners might include a hymn preceding or following a congregational prayer that lifts

up the needs of refugees and immigrants.

• A congregation might use a text for unison or responsive prayer or reflection.

• Within its customary order of worship, a church might sing one of the short, global, liturgical

responses as an act of solidarity with refugees and immigrants from other cultures.

• A small group Bible study might read or sing together some of these selections alongside a

scripture study on texts related to immigrants and refugees.

• A text could be introduced to a congregation by interspersing the stanzas (whether sung by a

choir or congregationally) between portions of a sermon on hospitality to the stranger or other

similar theme.

• A Christian Education program might offer a series of classes studying cultures from which

refugees and immigrants are arriving, and singing songs from those cultures.

• A group of churches might collaborate in a hymn festival on themes of welcome towards

immigrants and refugees. An offering might be taken to support World Relief or another NGO

resettling refugees.

• Individuals might reflect on a different hymn each day as a part of a personal devotional

practice.

The Hymn Society in the United States and Canada offers this resource for use by churches and

individuals. The publishers, authors, and composers have graciously granted permission for use of any of the hymns in this collection at no royalty cost for a period of two months. Beyond two months of usage,

copyright permission must be obtained. If your church is a member of One License or CCLI, you are

encouraged to report your usage there as you would customarily do. At the end of this collection you

can find copyright information.

We pray that this resource will encourage and deepen your congregation’s commitment to love

neighbor as self, and to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God.

This was written for non-churched as well as church people to sing

because they knew the tune and its association. It intentionally had no

A Prayer for Refugees64C

The litany may begin with the reading, chanting, or singing of Psalm 64.

Hear us, Lord, as we raise our voices;

in you we take refuge.

Preserve those whose life is threatened by enemies

and who are the target of bitter words or evil schemes.

Remember those who are vulnerable and exposed,

those who are victims of natural disaster, war, and persecution,

those suffering anguish and sorrow.

Bring them to safety;


Give shelter to those seeking a hiding place,

to those torn from their homes,

those who are separated from loved ones,

those who are lost or have run away.

Bring them to safety;


You look with mercy and love on all refugees.

Help us to welcome the stranger, befriend the lonely, and show compassion.

Allow your Spirit to move in us and teach us to seek justice,

to love mercy, and to walk humbly with you, telling of all your works.

Let us rejoice and give praise;

You Come Like the LowliestCOLUMCILLE (DOMHNACH TRIONOIDE) 11.11.11.11

Text: Adam M. L. Tice, 2011; ©2013 GIA Publications, Inc.

Tune: Gaelic traditional

Singing Welcome through the Witness of the Global Church There are many ways that congregational song can be used powerfully to express welcome. The preceding songs in this resource articulate welcome eloquently and persuasively from a largely Anglo-North American perspective. However, it can also be deeply meaningful to sing our hospitality through songs in languages other than English, which are shared with us by communities across the world. This kind of singing can have a prophetic quality: we sing toward a day when our communities will reflect the radical hospitality of the One who inspires our song. Jesus told his disciples to preach the gospel to “the whole inhabited earth;” in singing the songs of our siblings in Christ, we invite them to preach to us. When introducing songs in languages other than English, I like to take a few moments at the beginning of worship to teach the song to my congregation by breaking it down into its component parts. I might go over the unfamiliar language first, lining-out the text in small portions and having the congregation sing it back. Then, I would teach the melody line-by-line, giving special attention to any tricky rhythmic features or melodic leaps. Many of these songs can and should be taught by rote, without tying people to a printed page; this leaves them free to embody the song through possible movement, clapping, stomping, and dancing. Consider teaching these songs to your choir first, so that in worship they can support the congregation’s learning with confidence. Consider using newly introduced material several weeks in a row, to allow the new and different song to become a familiar friend. Engaging in these teaching techniques does not have to detract from the flow of worship; rather, these approaches demonstrate that learning together in community is in itself an act of worship.

-- Hilary Seraph Donaldson

To give you a better sense of these songs and how they might be used in worship, have a look at the following examples online: Hallelujah (Palestine) Video: Debbie Lou Ludolph, Music that Makes Community Khudaayaa, raeham kar / Have mercy on us, Lord Video: Scott Weidler, Music that Makes Community Kwake Yesu nasimama / You’re the solid rock of my life Kenya is the location of Dadaab, a major Somali refugee camp. Video: YouTube user logick1705

This video is quite upbeat, but I like to do this piece with a more anthemic, praise-and-worship vibe; try it out and see what approach resonates most with your community.

Syr ian Hallelujah34Syr ia

Words: Tr aditional Liturgical

Music: Tr aditional Syrian

To sing a song from Syria in these days when Syrians have been displaced from their

homes by violence offers a reminder of the ancient and beautiful wor ship pr actices of

Syr ian Chr istians and Jews, and makes this Hallelujah both a song of praise and a

song of solidarity. A simple accompaniment of drum, tambour ine, and �nger cymbals

gives this song a Middle Eastern soundscape.
