of circling planets singing on their way,
guide of the nations from the night profound
into the glory of the perfect day:
rule in our hearts, and keep us ever true,
directed, strengthened, and upheld by you.
2 We are your own, the children of your love,
your family, with your well-beloved Son;
come to us, Holy Spirit, like a dove,
and fill our hearts that we may be as one;
as one with you, our comforter and friend;
as one with him, our way, our life, our end.
3 We would be one in hatred of all wrong,
one in our love of all things kind and fair,
one with the joy that finds a voice in song
one with the grief that trembles into prayer,
one in the power that sets us free from fear
to follow truth, and so to find you near. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in intercession and petition; Unity of Humanity Used With Tune: SONG 1

Author: William Henry Turton (1856-1938) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 76 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 4:1-6 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':
O may we all one bread, one body be,
through this blest 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,
through this blest 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,
through this blest 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: Maundy Thursday; Belief; Church nature of; Church Year Maundy Thursday; Communion of Saints; Faith; Future hope; Holy Communion; Jesus Life and Ministry; Jesus Teaching; Longing; The First Sunday of Lent Year B; Unity Used With Tune: SONG 1

Stay, Master, Stay
Author: Samuel Greg, 1804-1876 Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 11 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 4:1 First Line: Stay, Master, stay upon this heavenly hill Lyrics: 1 Stay, Master, stay upon this heavenly hill;
A little longer, let us linger still;
With all the mighty ones of old beside,
Near to God’s holy presence still abide;
Before the throne of light we trembling stand,
And catch a glimpse into the spirit land.
2 Stay, Master, stay! we breathe a purer air;
This life is not the life that waits us there:
Thoughts, feelings, flashes, glimpses come and go;
We cannot speak them, nay, we do not know;
Wrapt in this cloud of light we seem to be
The things we fain would grow eternally.
3 "No!" saith the Lord, "the hour is past," we go;
Our home, our life, our duties lie below.
While here we kneel upon the mount of prayer,
The plough lies waiting in the furrow there!
Here we sought God that we might know His will;
There we must do it, serve Him, seek Him still.
4 If man aspires to reach the throne of God,
O’er the dull plains of earth must lie the road:
He who best does his lowly duty here,
Shall mount the highest in a nobler sphere:
At God’s own feet our spirits seek their rest,
And he is nearest Him who serves Him best. Topics: Jesus Christ Life and Ministry; Jesus Life and Ministry Used With Tune: YORKSHIRE
Stay, Master, Stay
Forgive Us, Lord, for Shallow Thankfulness
Author: William Watkins Reid, Sr., 1890-1983 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 4:32 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 Your richer gifts we're unaware:
2 Teach us to thank You, Lord, for love and grace,
For life and vision, for a purpose clear,
For Christ Your Son, and for each human face
That shows Your message ever new and near.
3 Forgive us, Lord, for selfish thanks and praise,
For words that speak at variance with deeds;
Forgive our thanks for walking pleasant ways
Unmindful of a broken brother's needs:
4 Teach us, O Lord, true thankfulness divine,
That gives as Christ gave, never counting cost,
That knows no barrier of "yours" and "mine,"
Assured that only what's withheld is lost.
5 Forgive us, Lord, for feast that knows not fast,
For joy in things that meanwhile starve the soul,
For walls and wars that hide Your mercies vast
And blur our vision of the Kingdom goal:
6 Open our eyes to see Your love's intent,
To know with minds and hearts its depth and height;
May thankfulness be days in service spent,
Reflection of Christ's life and love and light. Topics: Confession and Absolution Used With Tune: SURSUM CORDA
Forgive Us, Lord, for Shallow Thankfulness

that unity may be our great desire.
Give joy and peace, give faith to hear your call,
and readiness in each to work for all.
3 Widen our love, good Spirit, to embrace
the people of all lands and every race.
Like wind and fire, with life among us move,
till we are known as Christ's and Christians prove. Used With Tune: SHELDONIAN

Most glorious Lord of Life, that on this day
Author: Edmund Spenser (c. 1552-1599) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 20 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 4:8 Lyrics: 1 Most glorious Lord of life, that on this day
didst make thy triumph over death and sin,
and having harrowed hell, didst bring away
captivity thence captive, us to win:
2 This joyous day, dear Lord, with joy begin,
and grant that we, for whom thou diddest die,
being with thy dear blood clean washed from sin,
may live for ever in felicity:
3 And that thy love we, weighing worthily,
may likewise love thee for the same again;
and for thy sake, that all like dear didst buy,
with love may one another entertain.
4 So let us love, dear Love, like as we ought,
love is the lesson which the Lord us taught. Topics: Our Response to God in the morning and evening; Christ Risen Resurrection and Exaltation; Jesus Resurrection; Sunday Used With Tune: DUNOON
