When People Learned of Jesus Christ
Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Matthew 23:8-10 Lyrics: When people learned of Jesus Christ,
they came to hear him preach.
They longed to find out for themselves
what Jesus had to teach.
They pondered over parables,
and gave his words much thought,
but what they most remembered was
the love that Jesus taught.
He turned the water into wine
and multiplied the bread,
becalmed the heavy, stormy seas,
and even raised the dead.
The people wondered at the signs
and miracles he wrought,
but what they most remembered was
the love that Jesus taught.
He answered scribes and Pharisees
who would with him contend.
He healed the sick, the blind, the lame,
and was the sinners' friend.
They marveled at his prophecies,
the healing that he brought,
but what they most remembered was
the love that Jesus taught.
We may not work a miracle,
fulfill a prophet's role,
encourage sinners to repent,
or make the wounded whole,
but, as disciples, we can tell
we've found what all have sought:
the never-ending love of God,
the love that Jesus taught.
Dear God, at home, at work, at school,
in all of life, we pray,
help us be teachers who reveal
your love for us today,
that all the world may recognize
the spirit that is caught
when his disciples try to live
the love that Jesus taught.

Jesu, all holy
Author: George Ratcliffe Woodward, 1848-1934 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Matthew 23:10 Lyrics: 1 Jesu, all holy,
gentle and lowly,
snow-white lily of the vale;
thou art our Master,
Monarch and Pastor,
Priest, Interceder,
Prophet and Leader,
Refuge, Defender,
loving and strong:
Sovran supernal,
Son of th'Eternal,
born of Mary-maiden, hail!
Fountain of gladness,
solace in sadness,
more than a brother,
father or mother,
to thee we render tribute of song.
2 Jesu, we bless thee,
worship, confess thee;
shepherd of the sheep thou art:
shelter, protect us,
tend and direct us,
strong of arm and kind of heart:
shadow and moonlight
turn into moonlight;
soften the scorner,
comfort the mourner,
rule our behavior, order our way:
bide with us, giving
grace to the living,
shrift to the dying
freely supplying,
be thou our Savior ever and aye. Topics: Hope and Consolation Used With Tune: A LIETA VITA (IN DIR IST FREUDE)
