Baited, the Question Rose

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Baited, the question rose from somewhere in the crowd: "Teacher, you truly know God's way; is paying tax allowed?" Jesus perceived their trap: "Why do you test me so? Bring here the coin the tax requires, and see what it will show." 2 "Whose image does it bear, whose name and titles tell?" "Caesar's, of course," they smugly said and thought they answered well. "Give Caesar what is his; God, what is God's alone." Strong words, convincing and profound, like truth already known. 3 May we discern, O God, your daily gifts of grace; show us your image freshly coined in every heart and face. Help us fit tribute yield through prayers and hymns we raise, but most of all by deeds of love to give you thanks and praise.

God's Holy Spirit Came

Author: Michael Denham; Mary Jackson Cathey Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God's Holy Spirit came with rushing wind and fire, Christ's presence here to comfort, bless, and to inspire. The Spirit thus began God's holy work on earth at Pentecost, a gift that gave the church its birth. 2 God sent the Spirit forth, fulfilling prophets' word, to those who followed Jesus and who called him Lord. Disciples gathered near the temple courts in prayer. The Spirit blew and rested on those clustered there. 3 God's Spirit filled each one as Jesus had foretold. In many tongues they spoke God's word, renewed and bold. "Repent and be baptized," preached Peter in that hour, and thousands came believing by the Spirit's power. 4 God's church alive today continues to proclaim salvation by the Spirit's power in Jesus' name. Let all believers now their tongues and lives employ. Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost: our highest joy!
