Glory to God, the source of all our mission

Author: Christopher Idle (b. 1938) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Other Saints and Festivals Philip and James, Apostles; Other Saints and Festivals Simon and Jude, Apostles Lyrics: 1 Glory to God, the source of all our mission; Jesus be praised, the Saviour, Lord and Son! Praise to the Spirit who confirms the vision; in all the world the will of God be done! 2 Proud in our wealth, or destitute and broken, we cannot live by earthly bread alone; but by the word that God himself has spoken we are set free to make our Master known. 3 Eastward or westward, northward, southward moving, finding new fields, new patterns and new role, Christ's fellow-workers, all his goodness proving, see how our God is making people whole! 4 Linked by the cross at which we are forgiven, joined by the love that came to find and save, one in the hope of God's new earth and heaven, we love and give since he first loved and gave. 5 Send us, Lord Christ, to serve at your direction, dying and living, yours in loss and gain, true to the gospel of your resurrection, working and praying till you come to reign.

Now come, O God, in thy great might! Unchanged, unchanging is thy right, Unswayed thy justice towers. Used With Tune: LINDEMAN

My Soul, Repeat His Praise

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 468 hymnals Topics: A Day of Thanksgiving or a Harvest Festival Lyrics: 1 My soul, repeat His praise, Whose mercies are so great, Whose anger is so slow to rise, So ready to abate. 2 God will not always chide; And, when His wrath is felt, His strokes are few than our crimes, And lighter than our guilt. 3 High as the heavens are raised Above the ground we tread, So far the riches of His grace Our highest thoughts exceed. 4 His power subdues our sins; And His forgiving love, Far as the east is from the west, Doth all our guilt remove. 5 Our days are as the grass, Or like the morning flower; If one sharp blast sweep o'er the field, It withers in an hour. 6 But Thy compassions, Lord, To endless years endure, And children's children ever find Thy words of promise sure. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 103 Used With Tune: BARNBY'S HYMNARY, TUNE 525

A mighty fortress is our God

Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 686 hymnals Topics: TheChurch Year Festival of the Reformation Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, A trusty shield and weapon; Our help is He in all our need, Our stay, whate'er doth happen. The old malignant foe Doth seek to work us woe; His craft and power are great, And, armed with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal. 2 With might of ours naught can be done, Soon were our loss effected; But for us fights the Valiant One, Whom God Himself elected. Ask ye who this may be? Christ Jesus, it is He; Lord Sabaoth is His name, From age to age the same,-- He holds the field forever. 3 And were the world with devils filled, All eager to devour us, Our souls to fear should little yield, They cannot overpower us. The prince of darkness grim, We tremble not for him; His rage we can endure, For lo! his doom is sure, One little word can fell him. 4 The Word they still shall let abide, Nor thanks be due them for it; The Lord of hosts is by our side, Grants us His gifts and Spirit; And though they take our life, Goods, honor--children, wife, Yet, when their worst is done, They still have nothing won: The Kingdom ours remaineth. Used With Tune: A MIGHTY FORTRESS IS OUR GOD

Alleluia! thanks and glory

Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Festivals Lyrics: 1 Alleluia! thanks and glory, High adoring praise we bring, Hearts and voices both uplifted To our crown'd and conquering King! Children in the temple prais'd Thee, Thou the children's praise didst own; Now let children's praise accepted Reach thee on Thy radiant throne. 2 Alleluia! King, Redeemer, Saviour of our Eden lost! Though but children, sinful children, We are Thine by priceless cost; Though but children, weak and wayward, Yet through Thy redeeming love Washed, forgiven, sealed for glory, We shall reign with Thee above. 3 Alleluia! Oh! the mercy! Oh! the goodness, love, and grace! Mercy rich, and free, and glorious, Passing bound of time and space! Let Thy children sing Hosanna, Sing and say, in faith divine, "Such a Saviour, such salvation, Such eternal joys are mine!" 4 Alleluia! O most holy, O most patient, O most true, Ever faithful, all-forgiving, Still bestowing mercies new! Day by day has mercy kept us, Soul and body kept from ill; Night by night, in peace descending, Cometh mercy, mercy still. 5 Then to Him, the Found of mercy, Jesus Christ, the children's King, Blessing, honour, thanks and glory, Let His children ever bring. Let their mighty Alleluia Fill the earth from shore to shore, Till with that new song it mingles, Sung in heaven for evermore! Amen. Used With Tune: HENRY
