Transfigured Christ, None Comprehends
Author: Alan Gaunt (1935-) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 4:12-19 Lyrics: 1 Transfigured Christ, none comprehends
your majesty, whose splendour stuns
all waking souls; whose light transcends
the brightness of a thousand suns!
2 You stand with Moses on the hill,
you speak of your new exodus.
The way through death, you will fulfil
by dying helpless on the cross.
3 You stand here with Elijah too,
by whom the still small voice was heard:
and you, yourself, will prove God true,
made mute in death, incarnate Word.
4 If we could bear your brightness here
and stay for ever in your light,
then we would conquer grief and fear,
and scorn the terrors of the night.
5 But, from the heights, you bring us down,
to share earth's agonies with you,
where piercing thorns are made your crown
and death, accepted, proves love true.
6 Majestic Christ, God's well-loved son,
if we must share your grief and loss,
transfigure us, when all is done,
with glory shining from your cross. Topics: Transfiguration Used With Tune: BROCKHAM

The church of Christ, in every age
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903- Appears in 30 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 4:13 Lyrics: 1 The church of Christ in every age,
beset by change but Spirit-led,
must claim and test its heritage
and keep on rising from the dead.
2 Across the world, across the street,
the victims of injustice cry
for shelter and for bread to eat,
and never live until they die.
3 Then let the servant church arise,
a caring church that longs to be
a partner in Christ's sacrifice,
and clothed in Christ's humanity.
4 For he alone, whose blood was shed,
can cure the fever in our blood,
and teach us how to share our bread
and feed the starving multitude.
5 We have no mission but to serve
in full obedience to our Lord,
to care for all, without reserve,
and spread his liberating Word.

'Take up your cross,' the Saviour said
Author: Charles William Everest (1814-1877) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 296 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 4:16 Lyrics: 1 'Take up your cross,' the Saviour said,
'if you would my disciple be;
take up your cross, with willing heart,
and humbly follow after me.'
2 Take up your cross; let not its weight
fill your weak soul with vain alarm:
his strength shall bear your spirit up,
and brace your heart, and nerve your arm.
3 Take up your cross, nor heed the shame,
and let your foolish pride be still:
the Lord refused not even to die
upon a cross, on Calvary's hill.
4 Take up your cross, then, in his strength,
and calmly every danger brave;
it guides you to a better home,
and leads to victory o'er the grave.
5 Take up your cross, and follow Christ,
nor think till death to lay it down;
for only those who bear the cross
may hope to wear the glorious crown. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Passion and Death; Christian Year Lent; Discipleship Used With Tune: HESPERUS

devotion to the earth,
to hold in high regard
all life that comes to birth,
we need, O God, the will to find
the good you had of old in mind.
2 Renew our minds to choose
the things that matter most,
our hearts to long for truth
till pride-of-self is lost.
For every challenge that we face,
we need your guidance and your grace.
3 Let love from day to day
be yardstick, rule and norm,
and let our lives portray
your word in human form.
Now come with us that we may have
your wits about us where we live. Topics: Children and Youth Mission; Church Body of Christ; Ecology / Environment; God Guide; Love; One Life in Christ Mission; Renewal / Revival; Rural Life / Rogation Sunday; Stewardship Used With Tune: LODWICK

The Lord Our God Alone Is Strong
Author: Caleb T. Winchester Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 44 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 4:10 Lyrics: 1 The Lord our God alone is strong;
His hands build not for one brief day;
His wondrous works, thro' ages long,
His wisdom and His power display.
2 His mountains lift their solemn forms
To watch in silence o’er the land;
The rolling ocean, rocked with storms,
Sleeps in the hollow of His hand.
3 Thou sovereign God, receive this gift
Thy willing servants offer Thee;
Accept the prayers that thousands lift,
And let these halls Thy temple be.
4 And let those learn who here shall meet,
True wisdom is with reverence crowned,
And science walks with humble feet
To seek the God that faith hath found.
Amen. Used With Tune: MELCOMBE
