For Your Wise, Creating Spirit

Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: John 2:1-11 First Line: For your wise, creating Spirit, Lyrics: 1 For your wise, creating Spirit, blessing us in countless ways, and your Living Word of mercy, God, we offer you our praise. From the waters of creation, you brought forth a fertile land, peopled it with men and women meant to live by your command. 2 When in Noah’s time, we faltered, you, with mercy and with love, flooded us with tears of sorrow, sent a rainbow and a dove. And when we were slaves in Egypt, each one longing to be free, you led Moses on a pathway through the waters of the sea. 3 When we wandered in the desert, you showed us a flowing spring, quenched our thirst and fed us manna, though we doubted everything. When, at last, we saw the Jordan. and beyond, the Promised Land, Joshua helped us cross the river, guided by your faithful hand. 4 When our people walked in darkness, you sent Light into our gloom: Jesus, nurtured in the waters of his mother Mary’s womb. He was baptized in the Jordan, he turned water into wine, washed the feet of his disciples, all his deeds a holy sign. 5 At the font now, God, we gather as the friends of Jesus do, to baptize your child beloved, into life begun anew. By your Spirit bless this water, bless this child that we now name, bless the people who are present. May we all your love proclaim. " Topics: Baptism Prayer Used With Tune: FIRST CHURCH

All is ready for the Feast!

Author: Frederick Pratt Green (1903-2000) Meter: 7.7.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: John 2:13-17 Lyrics: 1 All is ready for the Feast! Every Jew is wondering how God will liberate them now. 2 Pilate, fearful of revolt he, at all costs, must avert, puts the Legion on alert. 3 Listen! Galilean crowds hail the Man from Nazareth, Jesus, riding to his death. 4 What authority he wields! With a whip of cords he clears temple courts of profiteers! 5 Watched by priests and pharisees, all he says and all he does fans the hatred of his foes. 6 Now he gathers those he loves in a room where bread and wine turn to sacrament and sign. 7 In that dark betrayal night, moved by hope, or fear or greed, Judas sets about his deed. 8 Jesus in the olive grove, waiting for a traitor's kiss, rises free from bitterness. 9 As he wakes his comrades up torches flicker in the glen, shadows turn to marching men. 10 In that dawn of blows and lies Church and State conspire to kill, hang three rebels on a hill. 11 Innocent and guilty drown in a flood of blood and sweat, how much darker can it get? 12 How much darker must it be for a God to see and care that men perish in despair? 13 It is God himself who dies! God in man shall set us free, God as Man - and only he. 14 Let him claim us as his own, we will serve as best we can such a God and such a Man! Final verse: 15 What does our salvation cost? Jesus, we shall never know all you gave and all we owe. Topics: Christ Incarnate Passion and Death; Christian Year Holy Week Used With Tune: HEILIGER GEIST
