God, Whose Giving Knows No Ending
Author: Robert L. Edwards Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: Life of Discipleship Stewardship and Service; God's Church Life of Discipleship: Stewardship and Service Lyrics: 1 God, whose giving knows no ending,
from your rich and endless store,
nature's wonder, Jesus' wisdom,
costly cross, grave's shattered door:
gifted by you, we turn to you,
offering up ourselves in praise;
thankful song shall rise forever,
gracious donor of our days.
2 Skills and time are ours for pressing
toward the goals of Christ, your Son:
all at peace in health and freedom,
races joined, the church made one.
Now direct our daily labor,
lest we strive for self alone;
born with talents, make us servants
fit to answer at Your throne.
3 Treasure too you have entrusted,
gain through powers your grace conferred;
ours to use for home and kindred,
and to spread the gospel Word.
Open wide our hands, in sharing,
as we heed Christ's ageless call,
healing, teaching, and reclaiming,
serving you by loving all. Used With Tune: NETTLETON

O Holy City, seen of John
Author: Rev. W. Russell Bowie Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 89 hymnals Topics: Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 O Holy City, seen of John,
Where Christ, the Lamb, doth reign,
Within whose four-square walls shall come
No night, nor need, nor pain,
And where the tears are wiped from eyes
That shall not weep again!
2 O shame to us who rest content
While lust and greed for gain
In street and shop and tenement
Wring gold from human pain,
And bitter lips in blind despair
Cry, "Christ hath died in vain"!
3 Give us, O God, the strength to build
The City that hath stood
Too long a dream, whose laws are love,
Whose ways are brotherhood,
And where the sun that shineth is
God's grace for human good.
4 Already in the mind of God
That City riseth fair.
Lo, how its splendor challenges
The souls that greatly dare,
Yea, bids us seize the whole of life
And build its glory there!
Amen. Used With Tune: MORWELLHAM

Lyrics: 1 God of the prophets, bless the prophets' heirs!
Elijah's mantle o'er Elisha cast:
each age for your own solemn task prepares;
make each one stronger, nobler than the last.
2 Anoint us prophets! Teach us your intent:
to human need, our quickened hearts awake;
fill us with power, our lips make eloquent
for righteousness that shall all evil break.
3 Anoint us priests! Help us to intercede
with all your royal priesthood born of grace;
through us your church presents in word and deed
a living sacrifice with thanks and praise.
4 Anoint us kings! Help us do justice, Lord!
Anoint us with the Spirit of your Son:
ours not a monarch's crown or tyrant's sword;
ours by the love of Christ a kingdom won.
5 Make us disciples, heralds of your cross;
forth may we go to tell all realms your grace:
by you inspired, may we count all but loss,
and stand at last with joy before your face.

We are not here to play, to dream, to drift;
We have hard work to do and loads to lift;
Shun not the struggle, face it, ’tis God’s gift.

Say not the days are evil— who’s to blame?
And fold the hands and acquiesce— O shame!
Stand up, speak out, and bravely, in God’s Name.

It matters not how deep intrenched the wrong,
How hard the battle goes, the day, how long;
Faint not, fight on! Tomorrow comes the song.
Amen. Used With Tune: SONG 24

I Bind unto Myself Today
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander; St. Patrick Meter: Irregular Appears in 68 hymnals Topics: Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 I bind unto myself today
the strong Name of the Trinity;
by invocation of the same,
the three in one and one in three.
2 I bind this day to me forever,
by power of faith, Christ's incarnation,
his baptism in the Jordan river;
his cross of death for my salvation,
his bursting from the spicèd tomb,
his riding up the heavenly way,
his coming at the day of doom:
I bind unto myself today.
3 I bind unto myself today
the virtues of the star-lit heaven,
the glorious sun's life-giving ray,
the whiteness of the moon at even,
the flashing of the lightning free,
the whirling wind's tempestuous shocks,
the stable earth, the deep salt sea
around the old eternal rocks.
4 I bind unto myself today
the power of God to hold and lead,
his eye to watch, his might to stay,
his ear to hearken to my need;
the wisdom of my God to teach,
his hand to guide, his shield to ward,
the word of God to give me speech,
his heavenly host to be my guard.
5 I bind unto myself the name,
the strong Name of the Trinity,
by invocation of the same,
the three in one and one in three,
of whom all nature has creation,
eternal Father, Spirit, Word.
Praise to the Lord of my salvation;
salvation is of Christ the Lord! Used With Tune: ST PATRICK

Or over the stormy sea;,
It may not be at the battle’s front
My Lord will have need of me;
But if by a still, small voice He calls
To paths I do not know,
I’ll answer, dear Lord, with my hand in Thine,
I’ll go where You want me to go.
Refrain:
I’ll go where You want me to go, dear Lord,
O'er mountain or plain or sea;
I’ll say what You want me to say, dear Lord.
I’ll be what You want me to be.
2 Perhaps today there are loving words
Which Jesus would have me speak,
There may be now, in the paths of sin,
Some wand’rer whom I should seek;
O Savior, if Thou wilt be my Guide,
Tho dark and rugged the way,
My voice shall echo the message sweet,
I’ll say what you want me to say. [Refrain]
3 There’s surely somewhere a lowly place
In earth’s harvest fields so wide,
Where I may labor thru life’s short day
For Jesus the Crucified;
So, trusting my all unto Thy care -
I know Thou lovest me -
I’ll do Thy will with a heart sincere,
I’ll be what You want me to be. [Refrain] Used With Tune: I'LL GO
I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go
