Jesu, all holy
Author: George Ratcliffe Woodward, 1848-1934 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: John 10:1-18 Lyrics: 1 Jesu, all holy,
gentle and lowly,
snow-white lily of the vale;
thou art our Master,
Monarch and Pastor,
Priest, Interceder,
Prophet and Leader,
Refuge, Defender,
loving and strong:
Sovran supernal,
Son of th'Eternal,
born of Mary-maiden, hail!
Fountain of gladness,
solace in sadness,
more than a brother,
father or mother,
to thee we render tribute of song.
2 Jesu, we bless thee,
worship, confess thee;
shepherd of the sheep thou art:
shelter, protect us,
tend and direct us,
strong of arm and kind of heart:
shadow and moonlight
turn into moonlight;
soften the scorner,
comfort the mourner,
rule our behavior, order our way:
bide with us, giving
grace to the living,
shrift to the dying
freely supplying,
be thou our Savior ever and aye. Topics: Hope and Consolation Used With Tune: A LIETA VITA (IN DIR IST FREUDE)

God Is Here!
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 47 hymnals Scripture: John 10:11 First Line: God is here! As we your people Lyrics: 1 God is here! As we your people
meet to offer praise and prayer,
may we find in fuller measure
what it is in Christ we share.
Here, as in the world around us,
all our varied skills and arts
wait the coming of the Spirit
into open minds and hearts.
2 Here are symbols to remind us
of our lifelong need of grace;
here are table, font, and pulpit;
here the cross has central place.
Here in honesty of preaching,
here in silence, as in speech,
here, in newness and renewal,
God the Spirit comes to each.
3 Here our children find a welcome
in the Shepherd's flock and fold;
here as bread and wine are taken,
Christ sustains us as of old.
Here the servants of the Servant
seek in worship to explore
what it means in daily living
to believe and to adore.
4 Lord of all, of church and kingdom,
in an age of change and doubt,
keep us faithful to the Gospel;
help us work your purpose out.
Here, in this day's dedication,
all we have to give, receive;
we, who cannot live without you,
we adore you! We believe! Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH
God Is Here!

Let us all, for earth's true glory,
Daily lift life heavenward,

Share your children's liberty:

For the work of ministry.
4 Lord, you show us love's true measure:
"Father, what they do, forgive."
Yet we hoard as private treasure
All that you so freely give.
May your care and mercy lead us
To a just society:
With the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
For the work of ministry.
5 Lord, you bless with words assuring:
"I am with you to the end."
Faith and hope and love restoring,
May we serve as you intend
And, amid the cares that claim us,
Hold in mind eternity:
With the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
For the work of ministry.

How Great the Bliss to Be a Sheep of Jesus
Author: Johann Jakob Rambach; Christian Ignatius Latrobe Meter: 11.10.11.10.8.12 Appears in 11 hymnals Scripture: John 10:11-16 Lyrics: 1 How great the bliss to be a sheep of Jesus,
and to be guided by his shepherd-staff!
Earth’s greatest honors, howsoe’er they please us,
compared to this are vain and empty chaff.
Yea, what this world can never give,
may, through the Shepherd’s grace, each needy sheep receive.
2 Here is a pasture, rich and never failing,
here living waters in abundance flow;
none can conceive the grace with them prevailing,
who Jesus’ shepherd-voice obey and know.
He banishes all fear and strife,
and leads them gently on to everlasting life.
3 Whoe’er would spend his days in lasting pleasure
must come to Christ and join his flock with speed;
here is a feast prepared, rich beyond measure,
the world meanwhile on empty husks must feed.
Those souls may share in ev'ry good
whose Shepherd does possess the treasuries of God. Topics: Gifts of the Spirit; Christian nurture; Gifts of the Spirit; Joy; Life in Christ Used With Tune: AGNUS CHRISTI

All the Way My Savior Leads Me
Author: Fanny J. Crosby Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 317 hymnals Scripture: John 10:4 Lyrics: 1 All the way my Savior leads me;
what have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt his tender mercy,
who through life has been my guide?
Heav'nly peace, divinest comfort,
here by faith in him to dwell;
for I know, whate'er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well;
for I know, whate'er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well.
2 All the way my Savior leads me,
cheers each winding path I tread,
gives me grace for ev'ry trial,
feeds me with the living bread.
Though my weary steps may falter,
and my soul a-thirst may be,
gushing from the rock before me,
lo, a spring of joy I see;
gushing from the rock before me,
lo, a spring of joy I see!
3 All the way my Savior leads me -
O the fullness of his love!
perfect rest to me is promised
in my Father's house above:
when my spirit, clothed, immortal,
wings its flight to realms of day,
this my song through endless ages:
Jesus led me all the way;
this my song through endless ages:
Jesus led me all the way!
