Ye Servants of God, Your Master Proclaim

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 681 hymnals Topics: Worship of God Lyrics: 1 Ye servants of God, your Master proclaim, And publish abroad His wonderful Name; The Name all-victorious of Jesus extol; His kingdom is glorious, He rules over all. 2 God ruleth on high, almighty to save. And still He is nigh - His presence we have; The great congregation His triumph shall sing, Ascribing salvation to Jesus, our King. 3 "Salvation to God, who sits on the throne," Let all cry aloud and honor the Son; The praises of Jesus the angels proclaim, Fall down on their faces and worship the Lamb. 4 Then let us adore and give Him His right - All glory and pow'r, all wisdom and might, All honor and blessing, with angels above, And thanks never ceasing, and infinite love.

It breathes in the air. it shines in the light; it streams from the hills; it descends to the plain, and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. 4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail; Thy mercies, how tender! how firm to the end! Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend. Used With Tune: LYONS

Great God, your love has called us here

Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: Our Response to God in the worship of God's house 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, dishonoured, 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 powers and systems close confined, yet seeking hope for humankind. 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. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:17 Used With Tune: MELITA

Suddenly return, and never, Never more Thy temples leave. Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thy hosts above, Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy perfect love. 4 Finish, then, Thy new creation, Pure and spotless may we be; Let us see Thy great salvation Perfectly restored in Thee! Changed from glory into glory, Till in heaven we take our place; Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love and praise. Used With Tune: BLAENWERN
