Beyond the Beauty and the Awe
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 13 Lyrics: 1 Beyond the beauty and the awe,
beyond the fear and dread,
we long, O God, to hear your word,
to taste your transformed bread.
2 Our lives feel torn between the world,
whose needs are grimly real,
and empty talk of peace and joy
with distant, vague appeal.
3 Oh, teach us how to hear your voice
despite the traffic’s din,
to keep the blasts of rancor out
and let your Spirit in.
4 In sound or silence, sight or smell,
may we some token find
that makes your living presence known
to body, soul, and mind.
5 Then help us live as Jesus taught,
as light and salt and yeast,
that others may be brought to share
your promise and your feast.

Christ's Church Shall Glory in His Power
Author: Christopher Idle, b. 1938 Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 13 First Line: Christ's church shall glory in his pow'r Lyrics: 1 Christ’s church shall glory in his pow'r
And grow to his perfection;
He is our rock, our mighty tow'r
Our life, our resurrection:
So by his skillful hand
The church of Christ shall stand;
The master-builder's plan
He works, as he began,
And soon will crown with splendor.
2 Christ's people serve his wayward world
To whom he seems a stranger;
He knows its welcome from of old,
He shares our joy, our danger:
So strong, and yet so weak,
The church of Christ shall speak;
His cross our greatest need,
His word the vital seed
That brings a fruitful harvest.
3 Christ's living lamp shall brightly burn,
And to our earthly city
Forgotten beauty shall return,
And purity and pity:
To give the oppressed their right
The church of Christ shall fight;
And though the years seem long
He is our strength and song,
And he is our salvation.

all the grace your light makes known;
may obedience mark our footsteps
till we make each word our own!

ours the wealth of this your Word:

shed your saving light abroad

show our world the truth of God! Topics: Call and Vocation; Jesus Christ the Word Used With Tune: BLAENWERN
