Lord, Who throughout These Forty Days
Author: Claudia F. I. Hernaman Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 86 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, 10:1-13 Lyrics: 1 Lord, who throughout these forty days
for us did fast and pray,
teach us with you to mourn our sins
and close by you to stay.
2 As you with Satan did contend
and did the victory win,
O give us strength to persevere,
in you to conquer sin.
3 And through these days of penitence,
and through this Passiontide,
yes, evermore, in life and death,
O Lord, with us abide.
4 Abide with us, till when this life
of suffering shall be past,
an Easter of unending joy
we may attain at last.

God of Love, That Hearest Prayer
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 82 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:13 Lyrics: 1 God of love, that hearest prayer,
Kindly for Thy people care
Who on Thee alone depend;
Love us, save us to the end.
2 Save us in the prosperous hour
From the flattering tempter’s power,
From his unsuspected wiles,
From the world’s pernicious smiles.
3 Men of worldly, low design,
Let not these Thy people join,
Poison our simplicity,
Drag us from our trust in Thee.
4 Save us from the great and wise,
Till they sink in their own eyes
Tamely to Thy yoke submit,
Lay their honors at Thy feet.
5 Never let the world break in,
Fix a mighty gulf between;
Keep us little and unknown,
Prized and loved by God alone.
Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Prayer and Intercession; God Love and Fatherhood; Prayer Used With Tune: MERCY

We Come unto Our Savior God
Author: Thomas H. Gill Meter: 8.7.8.7.8 8.7 Appears in 78 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:4 Lyrics: 1 We come unto our Savior God
with each past generation;
th’eternal arms, their dear abode,
we make our habitation.
We bring thee, Lord, the praise they brought;
we seek thee as thy saints have sought
in ev'ry generation.
2 Their joy unto their Lord we bring,
their song to us descendeth;
the Spirit who in them did sing
to us his music lendeth;
his song in them, in us, is one;
we raise it high, we send it on—
the song that never endeth.
3 Ye saints to come, take up the strain,
the same sweet theme endeavor;
unbroken be the golden chain!
Keep on the song forever!
Safe in the same dear dwelling place,
rich with the same eternal grace,
bless the same boundless giver!

We Come unto Our Savior God
O thou, who at thy Eucharist didst pray
Author: William Harry Turton (1856-1938) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 76 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:16-17 Lyrics: 1 O thou, who at thy eucharist didst pray
that all thy Church might be for ever one,
grant us at every eucharist to say,
with longing heart and soul, 'Thy will be done.'
Oh, may we all one bread, one body be,
one through this sacrament of unity.
2 For all thy Church, O Lord, we intercede;
make thou our sad divisions soon to cease;
draw us the nearer each to each, we plead,
by drawing all to thee, O Prince of Peace;
thus may we all one bread, one body be,
one through this sacrament of unity.
3 We pray thee too for wanderers from thy fold;
O bring them back, good Shepherd of the sheep,
back to the faith which saints believed of old,
back to the Church which still that faith doth keep;
soon may we all one bread, one body be,
one through this sacrament of unity.
4 So, Lord, at length when sacraments shall cease,
may we be one with all thy Church above,
one with thy saints in one unbroken peace,
one with thy saints in one unbounded love:
more blessèd still, in peace and love to be
one with the Trinity in Unity. Topics: The Holy Spirit The Church Celebrates - Holy Communion; Church unity and ecumenism; Communion of Saints Used With Tune: SONG 1

I Come with Joy
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 73 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:16-17 First Line: I come with joy to meet my Lord Lyrics: 1 I come with joy to meet my Lord,
forgiven, loved and free,
in awe and wonder to recall
his life laid down for me,
his life laid down for me.
2 I come with Christians far and near
to find, as all are fed,
the new community of love
in Christ's communion bread,
in Christ's communion bread.
3 As Christ breaks bread and bids us share,
each proud division ends.
The love that made us makes us one,
and strangers now are friends,
and strangers now are friends.
4 And thus with joy we meet our Lord.
His presence, always near,
is in such friendship better known;
we see and praise him here,
we see and praise him here.
5 Together met, together bound,
we'll go our different ways,
and as his people in the world,
we'll live and speak his praise,
we'll live and speak his praise.

Built on the Rock
Author: Nicolai F. S. Grundtvig, 1783-1872; Carl Döving, 1867-1937 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 73 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:4 First Line: Built on the Rock the Church doth stand Lyrics: 1 Built on the Rock the Church doth stand,
Even when steeples are falling;
Crumbled have spires in ev'ry land,
Bells still are chiming and calling,
Calling the young and old to rest,
But above all the soul distressed,
Longing for rest everlasting.
2 Surely in temples made with hands,
God, the Most High, is not dwelling;
High above earth His temple stands,
All earthly temples excelling.
Yet He whom heav'ns cannot contain
Chose to abide on earth with men,
Built in our bodies His temple.
3 Now we may gather with our King
E'en in the lowliest dwelling;
Praises to Him we there may bring,
His wondrous mercy forth telling.
Jesus His grace to us accords;
Spirit and life are all His words;
His truth doth hallow the temple.
Amen.
