Mark how the Lamb of God, self-offering
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. (b. 1944) Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: Acts 10:38 Lyrics: 1 Mark how the Lamb of God, self-offering,
our human sinfulness takes on
there in the waters of the Jordan,
as Jesus is baptized by John.
Hear how the voice from heaven is saying,
'Lo, this is my belovèd Son.'
See how in dovelike form the Spirit
descends on God's Anointed One.
2 From this assurance of God's favour
Christ goes into the wilderness,
there to endure a time of testing,
preparing him to teach and bless.
So we, by water and the Spirit
baptized into Christ's ministry,
are often led to paths of service
through mazes of adversity.
3 Grant us, O God, the strength and courage
to live the faith our lips declare;
bless us in our baptismal calling;
Christ's royal priesthood help us share.
Turn us from every false allegiance,
that we may trust in Christ alone:
make of us now a chosen people
transformed by love to be your own. Topics: The Church Celebrates Holy Baptism; Christ Incarnate Public Ministry; Jesus baptism Used With Tune: PSALM 118 (RENDEZ A DIEU)

My God, is any hour so sweet
Author: Charlotte Elliott Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 286 hymnals Scripture: Acts 10:9 Lyrics: 1 My God, is any hour so sweet,
From blush of morn to evening star,
As that which calls me to thy feet,
The hour of prayer?
2 Then is my strength by thee renewed;
Then are my sins by thee forgiv'n;
Then dost thou cheer my solitude
With hope of heav'n.
3 No words can tell what sweet relief
There for my ev'ry want I find,
What strength for warfare, balm for grief,
What peace of mind!
4 Hushed is each doubt, gone ev'ry fear;
My spirit seems in heav'n to stay:
And e'en the penitential tear
Is wiped away.
5 Lord, till I reach yon blissful shore,
No privilege so dear shall be
As thus my inmost soul to pour
In prayer to thee.
Amen. Topics: Christian Life Prayer; Family Worship; Peace; Prayer Times of Used With Tune: EUDORA
