The Son of God, Our Christ
Author: Edward M. Blumenfeld, b. 1927 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #434 (1978) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Hymnal Title: Lutheran Book of Worship First Line: The Son of God, our Christ, the Word, the Way Lyrics: 1 The Son of God, our Christ, the Word, the Way,
Shared human life and toiled throughout the day;
From common folk he called the twelve to be
Co-workers in his sacred ministry.
2 In ev'ry test, in trials manifold,
These servants witnessed, by their faith made bold;
And with the gifts and talents which they brought
The Church was founded and God's message taught.
3 Today, as then, Christ summons us to dare
To follow boldly and his work to share,
To help and heal the sick, the blind, the lame,
Declaring to the world his holy name.
4 In city street, in town, or on the soil,
May each serve Christ in faithful daily toil,
And in each thought and kindly word and deed,
Obey Christ's call and go where he shall lead.
5 Where'er we find our witness should be made,
Whate'er our task, be thou, O Christ, our aid,
That we may gladly give for thee our best
And find each task divinely sent and blest. Topics: Society; Pentecost 8 (Year B); Society; Witness Languages: English Tune Title: SURSUM CORDA
The Son of God, Our Christ
When Aimless Violence Takes Those We Love
Author: Joy F. Patterson, b. 1931 Hymnal: Lutheran Service Book #764 (2006) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Hymnal Title: Lutheran Service Book Lyrics: 1 When aimless violence takes those we love,
When random death strikes childhood's promise down,
When wrenching loss becomes our daily bread,
We know, O God, You leave us not alone.
2 When passing years rob sight and strength and mind
Yet fail to still a strongly beating heart,
And grief becomes the fabric of our days,
Dear Lord, You do not stand from us apart.
3 Our faith may flicker low, and hope grow dim,
Yet You, O God, are with us in our pain;
You grieve with us and for us day by day,
And with us, sharing sorrow, will remain.
4 Because Your Son knew agony and loss,
Felt desolation, grief and scorn and shame,
We know You will be with us, come what may,
Your loving presence near, always the same.
5 Through long grief-darkened days help us, dear Lord,
To trust Your grace for courage to endure,
To rest our souls in Your supporting love,
And find our hope within Your mercy sure. Topics: Society Scripture: 2 Corinthians 1:3-5 Languages: English Tune Title: SURSUM CORDA
When Aimless Violence Takes Those We Love
Forgive Us, Lord, for Shallow Thankfulness
Author: William Watkins Reid, Sr., 1890-1983 Hymnal: Lutheran Service Book #788 (2006) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Hymnal Title: Lutheran Service Book 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 Scripture: Philippians 1:9-11 Languages: English Tune Title: SURSUM CORDA
