God Is Love, Let Heav'n Adore Him
Author: Timothy Rees, 1874-1939 Hymnal: Mor1995 #463 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH Lyrics: 1 God is love, let heaven adore him;
God is love, let earth rejoice;
let creation sing before him
and exalt him with one voice.
God who laid the earth's foundation,
God who spread the heav'ns above,
God who breathes through all creation:
God is love, eternal love.
2 God is love; and love enfolds us,
all the world in one embrace;
with unfailing grasp God holds us,
ev'ry child of ev'ry race.
And when human hearts are breaking
under sorrow's iron rod,
then we find that selfsame aching
deep within the heart of God.
3 God is love; and though with blindness
sin afflicts all human life,
God's eternal loving-kindness
guides us through our earthly strife.
Sin and death and hell shall never
o'er us final triumph gain:
God is love, so love forever
o'er the universe must reign. Topics: Father and Creator; God; God--Goodness of; God--Love of; Grief and sorrow; Sin Scripture: 1 John 4:7-21 Languages: English

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!

Lord, You Give the Great Commission

"Heal the sick and preach the Word."
Lest the church neglect its mission
and the gospel go unheard,
help us witness to your purpose
with renewed integrity;
with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
for the work of ministry.

Let us all, for earth's true glory,
daily lift life heavenward,
asking that the world around us
share your children's liberty;
with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
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. Topics: Spread of the Gospel; Christian Service; Commissioning; Gifts of the Spirit; Justice; Ministry; Spread of the Gospel; Spread of the Gospel Scripture: Matthew 28:16-20 Languages: English

Jesus, Lover of My Soul
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Mor1995 #724 (1995) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Tune Title: ABERYSTWYTH Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Lover of my soul,
let me to thy bosom fly,
while the raging billows roll,
while the tempest still is high;
hide me, O my Savior, hide,
till the storm of life is past;
safe into the haven guide;
O receive my soul at last!
2 Other refuge have I none;
hangs my helpless soul on thee;
leave, ah, leave me not alone,
still support and comfort me.
All my trust on thee is stayed,
all my help from thee I bring;
cover my defenseless head
with the shadow of thy wing.
3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want;
more than all in thee I find.
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
heal the sick and lead the blind.
Just and holy is thy name,
I am all unrighteousness,
false and full of sin I am,
thou art full of truth and grace.
4 Plenteous grace with thee is found,
grace to cover all my sin;
let the healing streams abound;
make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art,
freely let me take of thee;
spring thou up within my heart,
rise to all eternity. Topics: Trust and Guidance; Christ--Grace and mercy of; Christ--Protection by; Deliverance; Forgiveness; Sin; Trust and Confidence Scripture: Psalm 23 Languages: English

Great God, Your Love Has Called Us Here
Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Mor1995 #579 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Tune Title: ABINGDON Lyrics: 1 Great God, your love has called us here
as we, by love, for love were made.
Your living likeness still we bear,
though marred, dishonored, disobeyed.
We come, with all our heart and mind
your call to hear, your love to find.
2 We come with self-inflicted pains
of broken trust and chosen wrong,
half-free, half-bound by inner chains,
by social forces swept along,
by pow'rs and systems close confined
yet seeking hope for human-kind.
3 Great God, in Christ you call our name
and then receive us as your own
not through some merit, right, or claim
but by your gracious love alone.
We strain to glimpse your mercy seat
and find you kneeling at our feet.
4 Then take the towel, and break the bread,
and humble us, and call us friends.
Suffer and serve till all are fed,
and show how grandly love intends
to work till all creation sings,
to fill all worlds, to crown all things.
5 Great God, in Christ you set us free
your life to live, your joy to share.
Give us your Spirit's liberty
to turn from guilt and dull despair
and offer all that faith can do
while love is making all things new. Topics: Christ's Example; Christian vocation; Christian year--Holy Week; Christ's Example; Confession of Sin; God--Love of; Invitation and Response; Ministry; Suffering Scripture: John 13:1-20 Languages: English

by Christ, the Lord of all.
A single, great commission
compels us from above
to plan and work together
that all may know Christ's love.

so ev'ry folk and nation

a stark reality:
the author of salvation
was nailed upon a tree.
Yet resurrected justice
gives rise that we may share
free reconciliation
and hope amid despair.
4 Now let us be united
and let our song be heard.
Now let us be a vessel
for God's redeeming word.

still his voice would win us
from the sins that hurt us;
would to truth convert us
from our foolish error,
ere he comes in terror.

not ashamed to own him,
nor have spurned him coldly,
but will trust him boldly,
he will then receive us,
heal us, and forgive us.

find a welcome royal.
Come then, O Lord Jesus,
from our sins release us;
let us here confess you
till in heav'n we bless you. Topics: Advent; Christian year--Advent; Christian year--Advent; Confession of Sin; Forgiveness Scripture: Matthew 1:23 Languages: English

How Great the Bliss to Be a Sheep of Jesus
Author: Johann Jakob Rambach; Christian Ignatius Latrobe Hymnal: Mor1995 #593 (1995) Meter: 11.10.11.10.8.12 Tune Title: AGNUS CHRISTI 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 Scripture: Psalm 23 Languages: English

till earth and heaven ring,

high as the list'ning skies,

hope unborn had died;

where the white gleam
of our bright star is cast.

God of our silent tears,
thou who hast brought us
thus far on the way,
thou who hast by thy might
led us into the light,

our God, where we met thee,
lest our hearts, drunk with the
wine of the world, we forget thee,
shadowed beneath thy hand,
may we forever stand,
true to our God,
true to our native land. Topics: Hope; Hope; Journey; Justice; Steadfastness Scripture: Exodus 19:3-6 Languages: English

partakes one holy food,
and to one hope she presses

and tumult of her war,
she waits the consummation
of peace forevermore;
till with the vision glorious
longing eyes are blessed,
and the great church victorious
shall be the church at rest.

with God the Three in One,
and mystic sweet communion
with those whose rest is won:

that we, like saints before us,
may see you face to face. Topics: Nature of the Church; Church--Anniversary; Church--Foundation and nature; Church--Militant; Church--Triumphant; Church--Unity Scripture: Matthew 21:42 Languages: English

washed in the Redeemer's blood!

makes them kings and priests to God;

in his courts to reign as kings,
and as priests, his solemn praises
each for a thankoff'ring brings.
