Dear Friends:<br>
<br>
A very Merry Christmas to each one of you! You are the foundation and fiber of the
Millennium Development Goals movement and we are so grateful for your heart and
work all the year-long. <br>
<br>
In honor of YOU, please accept this gift of a new hymn text
written by our EGR Chaplain, the Rt. Rev. Jeffrey Rowthorn. The hymn is sung to the music of Hymn
#124 (What Star is this, With Beams so Bright) in the 1982 Hymnal and is
appropriate for use in Christmastide or Epiphany. The hymn premiered on Christmas Eve at St. Ann's Episcopal
Church in Old Lyme, Connecticut and is offered to you for your enjoyment and
use. <br>
<br>
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br>FROM EAST TO WEST, O'ER ALL THE EARTH</span><br>
<br><div style="text-align: right;">
Puer nobis<br>
Long Metre (88.88)<br>
(Hymnal 1982: 124)<br></div>
<br>
<br>
1. From east to west, o'er all the earth,<br> the angel choirs announce the
birth<br> of Christ, the promised Prince of Peace,<br> who comes to bid our conflicts
cease.<br>
<br>
<br>
2.
Yet their good news is barely heard,<br>
and grieving hearts are left unstirred<br>
when jobs are lost and
homes foreclosed<br>
and God himself seems ill-disposed.<br>
<br>
<br>
3. On darkest nights and saddest days<br>
the angels still sing out their
praise<br>
of Christ whose love dispels the
gloom <br>
of shantytown and hospice room. <br>
<br>
<br>
4.
Their worldwide song is clearly heard<br>
where hearts by human need are
stirred;<br> the holy Child, his crib
outgrown,<br>
would make our lives his earthly
home.<br>
<br>
<br>
5.
So, young and old, come join the song<br>
in praise of Christ who rights each wrong,<br>
and let us all in every
way<br>
make known with joy his
birth today.<br>
