Jesus, Still Lead On
Author: Jane Borthwick; Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #446 (1995) Meter: 5.5.8.8.5.5 Topics: Year C Proper 23 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, still lead on, till our rest be won;
And although the way be cheerless,
we will follow, calm and fearless;
Guide us by your hand to the promised land.
2 If the way be drear, if the foe be near,
Let not faithless fears o'ertake us,
let not faith and hope forsake us;
For through many a woe to our home we go.
3 When we seek relief from a long-felt grief,
When temptations come alluring,
make us patient and enduring;
Show us that bright shore where we weep no more.
4 Jesus, still lead on, till our rest be won;
Heavenly Leader still direct us,
still support, console, protect us,
Guide us by your hand to the promised land. Languages: English Tune Title: SEELENBRÄUTIGAM

As We Gather at Your Table
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Hymnal: Voices United #457 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Proper 23 Year A Lyrics: 1 As we gather at your table,
as we listen to your word,
help us know, O God, your presence;
let our hearts and minds be stirred.
Nourish us with sacred story
till we claim it as our own;
teach us through this holy banquet
how to make Love’s victory known.
2 Turn our worship into witness
in the sacrament of life;
send us forth to love and serve you,
bringing peace where there is strife.
Give us, Christ, your great compassion
to forgive as you forgave;
may we still behold your image
in the world you died to save.
3 Gracious Spirit, help us summon
other guests to share that feast
where triumphant Love will welcome
those who had been last and least.
There no more will envy blind us
nor will pride our peace destroy,
as we join with saints and angels
to repeat the sounding joy. Languages: English Tune Title: BEACH SPRING

Deck Yourself, My Soul, with Gladness
Author: Johann Franck; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Voices United #463 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Topics: Proper 23 Year B Lyrics: 1 Deck yourself, my soul, with gladness,
leave the gloomy haunts of sadness,
come into the daylight’s splendour,
there with joy your praises render
unto Christ, whose grace unbounded
has this wondrous banquet founded;
high o’er all the heavens reigning,
yet to dwell with you is deigning.
2 Now I come before you lowly,
filled with joy most deep and holy,
as with trembling awe and wonder
on your mighty works I ponder;
how, by mystery surrounded,
depth no one has ever sounded,
none may dare to pierce unbidden
secrets that with you are hidden.
3 Sun, which all my living brightens;
Light, which heart and soul enlightens;
Joy, most sweet and spirit freeing;
Fount, the source of all my being;
at your feet I cry, my Maker,
let me be a fit partaker
of this blessed food from heaven,
for our good your glory given.
4 Jesus, bread of life, I pray you
let me gladly here obey you;
never to my hurt invited,
be your love with love requited;
from this banquet let me measure,
God, how vast and deep its treasure;
through the gifts you here now give me,
as your guest in heaven receive me. Languages: English Tune Title: SCHMÜCKE DICH

Eat this bread and never hunger,
drink this cup and never thirst;

Jesus touched forbidden ground;
and the woman, with a question,
told the world what she had found. [Refrain]

Jesus healed a man born blind;
soon the man became a witness
to the truth we seek and find. [Refrain]

Jesus felt the pain of death;
yet he knew God's power to waken:
living water, living breath. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: MODESTO

if you will be my guide.

in accents clear and still,
above the storms of passion,
the murmurs of self-will!
O speak to reassure me,
to hasten or control!
O speak, and make me listen,
O guardian of my soul!

to all who follow you
that where you are in glory
your servant shall be, too;
And, Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end;

my Savior and my Friend! Scripture: John 14:1-4 Languages: English Tune Title: ANGEL'S STORY

Lord, you give the great commission
Author: Jeffery W. Rowthorn (b. 1934) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #499 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Proper 23 Year B 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. Scripture: Matthew 28:18-20 Languages: English Tune Title: RUSTINGTON

vision whence true peace doth spring,
brighter than the heart can fancy,
mansion of the highest King;
O how glorious are the praises
which of thee the prophets sing!
2 There for ever and for ever
alleluia is outpoured;
for unending, for unbroken,
is the feast-day of the Lord;
all is pure and all is holy
that within thy walls is stored.
3 There no cloud or passing vapour
dims the brightness of the air;
endless noon-day, glorious noon-day,
from the Sun of suns is there;
there no night brings rest from labour,
for unknown are toil and care.
*4 O how glorious and resplendent,
fragile body, shalt thou be,
when endued with so much beauty,
full of health and strong and free,
full of vigour, full of pleasure
that shall last eternally.
*5 Now with gladness, now with courage,
bear the burden on thee laid,
that hereafter these thy labours
may with endless gifts be paid;
and in everlasting glory
thou with brightness be arrayed.
6 Laud and honour to the Father,
laud and honour to the Son,
laud and honour to the Spirit,
ever Three and ever One,
consubstantial, co-eternal,
while unending ages run. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:42-43 Languages: English Tune Title: REGENT SQUARE

Give Thanks, My Soul, For Harvest
Author: William Watkins Reid, Sr. Hymnal: Voices United #522 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Proper 23 Year B First Line: Give thanks, my soul for harvest Lyrics: 1 Give thanks, my soul, for harvest,
for store of fruit and grain;
but know the owner gives so
that we may share again.
Where people suffer hunger,
or little children cry,
with gifts from God’s rich bounty
may thankfulness reply.
2 Give thanks, my soul, for riches
of woodland, mine, and hill;
but know that gold and timber
are the Creator's still.
God lends to us, as stewards,
abundance we might share,
and thus provide earth's children
the blessing of God's care.
3 Give thanks, my soul, for labours,
that strength and days employ;
but know the Maker's purpose
brings toil as well as joy.
Show forth, O God, your purpose;
direct our will and hand
to share your love and bounty
with all in every land. Tune Title: MUNICH
