"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.

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.

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.

seek in worship to explore
what it means in daily living

in an age of change and doubt,
keep us faithful to the gospel,
help us work your purpose out.

Church of God, Elect and Glorious
Author: J. E. Seddon Hymnal: Worship (4th ed.) #733 (2011) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Church of God, elect and glorious,
Holy nation, chosen race;
Called as God's own special people,
Royal priests and heirs of grace:
Know the purpose of your calling,
Show to all his mighty deeds;
Tell of love that knows no limits,
Grace that meets all human needs.
2 God has called you out of darkness
Into his most marv'lous light,
Brought his truth to life within you,
Turned your blindness into sight.
Let your light so shine around you
That God's name is glorified
And all find fresh hope and purpose
In Christ Jesus crucified.
3 Once you were an alien people,
Strangers to God's heart of love;
But he brought you home in mercy,
Citizens of heav'n above.
Let his love flow out to others,
Let them feel the Father's care,
That they too may know his welcome
And his countless blessings share.
4 Church of God, elect and holy,
Be the people he intends,
Strong in faith and swift to answer
Each command your Master sends.
Royal priests, fulfill your calling
Through your sacrifice and prayer;
Give your lives in joyful service;
Sing his praise, his love declare. Topics: Church Languages: English Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH

Sing we of the blessed Mother
Author: George Boorne Timms, 1910-1997 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #749 (2010) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Sing we of the blessèd Mother
who received the angel's word,
and obedient to his summons
bore in love the infant Lord;
sing we of the joys of Mary
at whose breast that child was fed
who is Son of God eternal
and the everlasting Bread.
2 Sing we, too, of Mary's sorrows,
of the sword that pierced her through,
when beneath the cross of Jesus
she his weight of suffering knew,
looked upon her Son and Saviour
reigning high on Calvary's tree,
saw the price of man's redemption
paid to set the sinner free.
3 Sing again the joys of Mary
when she saw the risen Lord,
and in prayer with Christ's apostles,
waited on his promised word:
from on high the blazing glory
of the Spirit's presence came,
heavenly breath of God's own being,
manifest through wind and flame.
4 Sing the chiefest joy of Mary
when on earth her work was done,
and the Lord of all creation
brought her to his heavenly home:
Virgin Mother, Mary blessèd,
raised on high and crowned with grace,
may your Son, the world's redeemer,
grant us all to see his face. Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days The Blessed Virgin Mary Languages: English Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH

Sing of Andrew, John's disciple
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., 1944- Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #755 (2010) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Sing of Andrew, John's disciple,
led by faith through ways untrod,
till the Baptist cried at Jordan,
'There behold the Lamb of God!'
Stirred by hearing this new teacher,
Andrew, freed from doubt and fear,
ran to tell his brother Simon,
'God's Anointed One is here!'
2 Sing of Andrew, called by Jesus
from the shores of Galilee,
leaving boats and nets and kindred,
trusting in that 'Follow me.'
When a lad's small meal fed thousands,
when inquiring Greeks found care,
when the Spirit came in blessing,
Andrew faithfully was there.
3 Sing of Andrew, bold apostle,
sent to make the gospel known,
faithful to his Lord's example,
called to make a cross his own.
So may we who prize his memory
honour Christ in our own day,
bearing witness to our neighbours,
living what we sing and pray. Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days St. Andrew Languages: English Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH
