The Son of God, Our Christ
Author: Edward M. Blumenfeld, b. 1927 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: The Son of God, our Christ, the Word, the Way Lyrics: 1 The Son of God, our Christ, the Word, the Way.
Shared human life and toiled throughout the day;
From common folk he called his friends to be
Co-workers in his sacred ministry.
2 In ev'ry test, in trials manifold,
These servants witnessed, by their faith made bold;
And with the gifts and talents which they brought,
The Church was founded and God's message taught.
3 Today, as then, Christ summons us to dare
To follow boldly and his work to share,
Declaring to the world his holy name
And showing mercy to the sick and lame.
4 In city street, in town, or on the soil,
May each serve Christ in faithful daily toil,
And in each thought and kindly word and deed,
Obey Christ's call and go where he shall lead.
5 Where'er we find our witness should be made,
Whate'er our task, the Lord will be our aid,
And we will gladly give for him our best
And find each task divinely sent and blessed. Topics: Social Concern; Social Concern Used With Tune: SURSUM CORDA

O God, You Give Humanity Its Name
Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O God, You give humanity its name,
Your covenant of grace remains the same:
Be with these two who now before You wait;
Enlarge the love they come to consecrate.
2 May through their union other lives be blessed,
Their door be wide to stranger and to guest;
Give them the understanding that is kind;
Grant them the blessing of an open mind.
3 Preserve their days from inwardness of heart:
To each the gift of truthfulness impart.
Their bond be strong against all strain and strife
Amid the changes of this earthly life.
4 From stage to stage on life's unfolding way
Bring to their mind the vows they make this day;
Your Spirit be their guide in every move,
Their faith in Christ the basis of their love.
5 Lord, bless us all to whom this day brings joy,
Let no events our unity destroy.
And help us, till all sense of time is lost,
To live and love and not to count the cost. Topics: Christian Marriage Used With Tune: SURSUM CORDA (SMITH)

Forgive Us, Lord, for Shallow Thankfulness
Author: William Watkins Reid Sr., 1890- Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Forgive us, Lord, for shallow thankfulness,
For dull content with warmth and sheltered care,
For songs of praise for food and harvest press,
While of thy richer gifts we're unaware:
2 Teach us to thank thee, Lord, for love and grace,
For life and vision and a purpose clear,
For Christ, thy Son, and for each human face
That shows thy message ever new and near.
3 Forgive us, Lord, for selfish thanks and praise,
For word that speaks at variance with deed;
Forgive our thanks for walking pleasant ways
Unmindful of a broken brother's need:
4 Teach us, O Lord, true thankfulness divine,
That gives as Christ gave, never counting cost,
That knows no barrier of "mine" and "thine,"
Assured that only what's withheld is lost.
5 Forgive us, Lord, for feast that knows not fast,
For joy in things the while we starve the soul,
For walls and wars that hide thy mercies vast
And mar our vision of the kingdom goal:
6 Open our eyes to glimpse thy love's intent,
Our minds and hearts to plumb its depth and height;
May thankfulness be days in service spent,
Reflection of Christ's life and love and light. Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons Thanksgiving Used With Tune: SURSUM CORDA

When Aimless Violence Takes Those We Love
Author: Joy F. Patterson, b. 1931 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When aimless violence takes those we love,
When random death strikes childhood's promise down,
When wrenching loss becomes our daily bread,
We know, O God, You leave us not alone.
2 When passing years rob sight and strength and mind
Yet fail to still a strongly beating heart,
And grief becomes the fabric of our days,
Dear Lord, You do not stand from us apart.
3 Our faith may flicker low, and hope grow dim,
Yet You, O God, are with us in our pain;
You grieve with us and for us day by day,
And with us, sharing sorrow, will remain.
4 Because Your Son knew agony and loss,
Felt desolation, grief and scorn and shame,
We know You will be with us, come what may,
Your loving presence near, always the same.
5 Through long grief-darkened days help us, dear Lord,
To trust Your grace for courage to endure,
To rest our souls in Your supporting love,
And find our hope within Your mercy sure. Topics: Society Scripture: 2 Corinthians 1:3-5 Used With Tune: SURSUM CORDA
