Not to Us, LORD, Not to Us
Not Alone, but Two by Two
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Not alone, but two by two,
Jesus sent disciples out:
Yoked to share their growing faith,
Spurred by courage, slowed by doubt.
Taking but a walking stick,
Moneyless and sandal-shod,
Forth they went to preach and heal,
Trusting all their needs to God.
2 Have we still such daring hearts?
Can we claim their faith and nerve?
Do we truly love the world
Jesus calls for us to serve?
Can we plant again the seed
Sown in mutual ministry,
Patterned on a life of faith
Rooted in community?
3 Holy Spirit, breathe through us
With your unifying might;
Kindle cleansing, melting flames
Till our fractured wills unite.
Bind our hearts in mutual love,
Paradox that sets self free;
Let our common witness show
God's shared life in Trinity.

Soaring Spirit, Set Us Free
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. (1944-) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Soaring Spirit, set us free
from the tyranny of fear;
life of glorious liberty,
let your promised power appear:
drown the noise of Babel's tongues
in the murmur of the dove;
burn away our wasting wrongs
with the healing fire of love.
2 Unseen member of the dance
that unites the Trinity,
let the grace your presence grants
twine us in like mystery.
Breath of God, our lives inspire
till our hope and faith increase:
speak through us with tongues of fire;
send us forth to spread God's peace. Topics: Pentecost Scripture: Ezekiel 37:1-14 Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH
Soaring Spirit, Set Us Free
Body broken for our good
Author: Alan Gaunt (b. 1935) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Body broken for our good,
and that body's precious blood:
we receive them to our shame,
who dishonour Jesus' name.
Every day more blood is shed;
flesh is broken, left for dead.
Where earth's children bleed and die,
it is Christ we crucify.
2 Yet your love, God, draws us near,
though unworthy to be here;
we have nothing good to bring,
yet you give us everything!
Here you give us Christ who died,
resurrected, glorified;
his humanity, divine,
here is ours in bread and wine.
3 In communion with this Lord,
faith, hope, love are all restored;
here is wealth beyond compare,
wealth for all the world to share.
He reclaims our every breath:
all our life and even death
cannot be too great a price,
to complete his sacrifice.
4 Time, with energy and health,
talent, poverty or wealth:
all are yours, Lord, taken up
in the sign of bread and cup.
Though we may be broken too,
and our lives poured out for you,
make of us the living sign
of your love in bread and wine. Topics: Discipleship; Holy Communion; Self-offering; Sin; Social Concern; Suffering Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:16-17 Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH

What But Thy Right Hand Of Power?
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: What but Thy right hand of power Lyrics: 1 What but Thy right hand of power,
Power displayed in perfect love,
Can my confidence restore,
Can my torturing fear remove?
Lord, in this poor groveling soul
Now Thy Spirit’s power exert,
Now my unbelief control,
Purify and calm my heart.
2 Master, at Thy feet I wait
Thy reviving voice to hear:
Raise me to my first estate,
Show Thyself the Finisher,
Perfect what Thou hast begun,
And when all my griefs are past,
And when all my work is done,
Glorify my soul at last. Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH Text Sources: Short Hymns on Select Passages of Holy Scripture (Bristol, England: E. Farley, 1762)
What But Thy Right Hand Of Power?
Blest Are God's Peacemaking Ones
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Blest are God's peacemaking ones, Sent to work in countless ways-- Lyrics: Blest are God’s peacemaking ones,
Sent to work in countless ways—
God’s own daughters, God’s own sons,
Serving without seeking praise.
Yet like leaven in our bread,
They persist to change us all.
By God’s Spirit, they are led T
o pursue God’s peaceful call.
Bless-ed are God’s prophets, too,
Called to challenge what we know.
Working for a world that’s new,
Calling us to change and grow.
Though the message that they bear
Stands against what powers say—
It is Jesus’ word they share,
News of God’s new breaking day.
God, through Jesus’ love and grace,
May we live what we profess.
In the challenges we face,
May we know what makes us blest.
May we stand against the wrong;
May our thirst for you increase.
Give to us a prophet’s song!
May we work to bring your peace! Topics: Justice; Peacemaking Scripture: Luke 13:20-21 Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH

Bigger Barns
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: "Bigger barns are what I need" Lyrics: “Bigger barns are what I need,”
so a rich man said one day.
“From my worries I’ll be free
when my wealth is stored away.”
“Fool!” God said, “Today you’ll die!”
Will that wealth mean anything?
All life’s blessings really lie
in the gifts that wealth can’t bring.
“Bigger barns are what we need
for our money, gadgets, more!”
Lord, we’re tempted to believe
having wealth, we’ll be secure!
Somewhere children cry for food
or to have a doctor’s care.
Can our bigger barns be good
when poor neighbors know despair?
God of love, we long to know
what will make us truly blest.
Jesus taught us long ago
wealth won’t give us peace or rest.
You are our security!
Safe in you, we serve, O Lord.
May we find we’re rich indeed
when we’re sharing with the poor.
