Glorious Things Are Sung of Zion

Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Glorious things are sung of Zion, Enoch's city seen of old, Where the righteous, being perfect, Walked with God in streets of gold. Love and virtue, faith and wisdom, Grace and gifts were all combined; As himself each loved his neighbor; All were one in heart and mind. 2. There they shunn'd the pow'r of Satan, And observed celestial laws; For in Adam-ondi-Ahman Zion rose where Eden was. When beyond the power of evil, So that none could covet wealth, One continual feast of blessings Crown’d their days with peace and health. 3. Then the towers of Zion glittered Like the sun in yonder skies, And the wicked stood and trembled, Fill'd with wonder and surprise: Then their faith and works were perfect– Lo, they followed their great Head; So the city went to heaven, And the world said, Zion's fled! 4. When the Lord returns to Zion, And we hear the watchman cry, Then we'll surely be united, And we'll all see eye to eye; Then we'll mingle with the angels, And the Lord will bless His own; Then the earth will be as Eden, And we'll know as we are known Used With Tune: [Glorious things are sung of Zion]

Lord, you give the great commission

Author: Jeffery W. Rowthorn, 1954- Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 44 hymnals Lyrics: 1 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 empower us for the work of ministry. 2 Lord, you call us to your service: 'In my name, baptize and teach.' That the world may trust your promise, life abundant meant for each, give us all new fervour, draw us closer in community: with the Spirit’s gifts empower us for the work of ministry. 3 Lord, you make the common holy: 'This my body, this my blood.' 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 empower 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 empower 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 empower us for the work of ministry.
