Blessed Be the God of Israel
Author: Michael Perry, 1942-1996 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 18 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 61:1-2 Lyrics: 1 Blessed be the God of Israel,
who comes to set us free,
who visits and redeems us,
and grants us liberty.
The prophets spoke of mercy,
of freedom and release;
God shall fulfill the promise
to bring our people peace.
2 Now from the house of David
a child of grace has come,
a Savior who will lead us
to our eternal home.
Before him goes the herald,
forerunner in the way,
the prophet of salvation,
the harbinger of day.
3 On all by death imprisoned
the sun begins to rise,
the dawning of forgiveness
upon the sinner's eyes,
to guide the feet of pilgrims
along the paths of peace;
O bless our God and Savior
with songs that never cease! Used With Tune: MERLE'S TUNE

God the Spirit, Guide and Guardian
Author: Carl P. Daw Jr. Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 13 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 61:1 Lyrics: 1 God the Spirit, guide and guardian,
wind-sped flame and hovering dove,
breath of life and voice of prophets,
sign of blessing, power of love:
give to those who lead your people
fresh anointing of your grace;
send them forth as bold apostles
to your church in every place.
2 Christ our Savior, sovereign, shepherd,
Word made flesh, Love crucified,
teacher, healer, suffering servant,
friend of sinners, foe of pride:
in your tending may all *pastors
learn and live a shepherd's care;
grant them courage and compassion
shown through word and deed and prayer.
3 Great Creator, life-bestower,
truth beyond all thought's recall,
fount of wisdom, womb of mercy,
giving and forgiving all:
as you know our strength and weakness,
so may those the church exalts
oversee its life steadfastly,
yet not overlook its faults.
4 Triune God, mysterious being,
undivided and diverse,
deeper than our minds can fathom,
greater than our creeds rehearse:
help us in our varied callings
your full image to proclaim,
that our ministries uniting
may give glory to your name.

How Blest Are They Who Hear God's Word
Author: Oluf H. Smeby; Johan N. Brun Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 61:3 Lyrics: 1 How blest are they who hear God's Word,
And keep and heed what they have heard!
They wisdom daily gather;
Their light shines brighter day by day,
And while they tread life's weary way,
They have the oil of gladness
To soothe their pain and sadness.
2 God's Word a treasure is to me,
Thro' sorrow's night my sun shall be,
The shield of faith in battle.
The Father's hand hath written there
My title as His child and heir,
"The kingdom's thine forever."
That promise faileth never.
3 Today I was my Savior's guest;
My soul was here so richly blest,
The Bread of Life receiving.
Oh, may thereby my faith prevail,
So that its fruits shall never fail
Till my account is given
Before the throne in heaven!
Amen. Topics: Adoration Close of Service Used With Tune: MIN SJÄL OG AAND
