When We Are Tested
Author: Ruth Duck Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 4:1-11 First Line: When we are tested and wrestle alone Lyrics: 1 When we are tested and wrestle alone,
famished for bread when the world offers stone,
nourish us, God, by your word and your way,
food that sustains us by night and by day.
2 When in the desert we cry for relief,
pleading for paths marked by certain belief,
lift us to love you beyond sign and test,
trusting your presence, our only true rest.
3 When we are tempted to barter our souls,
trading the truth for the power to control,
teach us to worship and praise only you,
seeking your will in the work that we do.
4 When we have struggled and searched through the night,
sorting and sifting the wrong from the right,
Savior, surround us with circles of care,
angels of healing, of hope, and of prayer.

When We Are Tested
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: Matthew 4:1-2 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)
