O perfect love
Author: Dorothy Frances Gurney, 1858-1932 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 236 hymnals First Line: O perfect love, all human thought transcending Lyrics: 1 O perfect love,
all human thought transcending,
lowly we kneel in prayer
before thy throne,
that theirs may be
the love which knows no ending,
whom thou for evermore
dost join in one.
2 O perfect life,
be thou their full assurance
of tender charity
and steadfast faith,
of patient hope
and quiet, brave endurance,
with childlike trust
that fears no pain or death.
3 Grant them the joy
which brightens earthly sorrow,
grant them the peace
which calms all earthly strife;
and to life's day
the glorious unknown morrow
that dawns upon
eternal love and life. Topics: Marriage Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13 Used With Tune: HIGHWOOD

blazing before our birth, beyond our dying–
God of all time, we come to sing your name.

we come to claim the legacy of faith;
take, in our turn, the telling of your story;
and, though we tremble, speak your hope, your truth.

Spirit, who turns a stranger to a friend:
be at the table where we greet each other;
be in the peace we pass from hand to hand.

your broken body be our wine and bread. Topics: Eucharist; Aniversary of Parish/Church; Eucharist; Healing; The Holy Spirit Scripture: Genesis 2:4-9 Used With Tune: HIGHWOOD

Hark what a sound, and too divine for hearing
Author: Frederic W. H. Myers, 1843-1901 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark what a sound, and too divine for hearing,
Stirs on the earth and trembles in the air!
Is it the thunder of the Lord's appearing?
Is it the music of his people's prayer?
2 Surely he cometh, and a thousand voices
Shout to the saints, and to the deaf are dumb;
Surely he cometh, and the earth rejoices,
Glad in his coming who hath sworn: I come!
3 This hath he done, and shall we not adore him?
This shall he do, and can we still despair?
Come, let us quickly fling ourselves before him,
Cast at his feet the burden of our care.
4 Through life and death, through sorrow and through sinning,
He shall suffice me, for he hath sufficed:
Christ is the end, for Christ was the beginning,
Christ the beginning, for the end is Christ.

Author: Dietrich Bonhoeffer, 1906-45; Frederick Pratt Green, 1903- Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 By gracious powers so wonderfully sheltered,
and confidently waiting come what may,
we know that God is with us night and morning
and never fails to greet us each new day.
2 Yet is this heart by the old year tormented,
still evil days bring burdens hard to bear.
O give our frightened souls the sure salvation
for which, O Lord, you taught us to prepare.
3 And when this cup you give is filled to brimming
with bitter suffering, hard to understand,
we take it thankfully and without trembling,
out of so good, and so beloved, a hand.
4 Yet when again, in this same world, you give us
the joy we had, the brightness of your sun,
we shall remember all the days we lived through,
and our whole life shall then be yours alone. Topics: Close of the Year; Confidence; Eucharist; Funerals; Hope; Morning; New Year; Providence; Suffering Scripture: John 16:16-22 Used With Tune: HIGHWOOD

we are enfolded in your love and care;
safe in the dark, your heartbeat's pulse surrounds us,
you call to us, for you are always there.
2 You call to us, for we are in your image.
We wait on you, the nest is cold and bare;
high overhead your wing-beats call us onward.
filled with your power, we ride the empty air.

we climb the clouds until our strong heart sings;
may we enfold our sisters and our brothers,
till all are strong, till all have eagles' wings. Topics: God Nature of God; Brotherhood/Sisterhood; Calling and Response; Eagle; Freedom; God Image (Mother); God Images; God Nature; Need for God/Christ; Proper 19 Year A; Proper 21 Year A Used With Tune: HIGHWOOD
