Watching for Souls in View of the great Account
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #338 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Church Pastoral First Line: Let Zion's watchmen all arise Lyrics: 1 Let Zion's watchmen all arise
To watch, long as they live;
And let them from the mouth of God
Their solemn charge receive.
2 'Tis not a cause of small import
The pastor's care demands;
But what might fill an angel's heart,
And fill'd a Savior's hands.
3 They watch for souls, for which the Lord
Did heavenly bliss forgo;
For souls which must forever live
In raptures, or in wo.

Th'account to render there;
And shouldst thou strictly mark our faults,
Lord, how should we appear?

Their own Redeemer see;

That they may watch for thee. Scripture: Hebrews 13:17 Languages: English

Great God, Your Love Has Called Us
Author: Brian A. Wren, b. 1936 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #358 (2006) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Pastors; Pastors First Line: Great God, your love has called us here Lyrics: 1 Great God, your love has called us here,
as we, by love, for love were made.
Your living likeness still we bear,
though marred, dishonored, disobeyed.
We come, with all our heart and mind
your call to hear, your love to find.
2 We come with self-inflicted pains
of broken trust and chosen wrong,
half-free, half-bound by inner chains,
by social forces swept along,
by pow'rs and systems close confined,
yet seeking hope for humankind.
3 Great God, in Christ you call our name
and then receive us as your own,
not through some merit, right, or claim,
but by your gracious love alone.
We strain to glimpse your mercy seat
and find you kneeling at our feet.
4 Then take the towel, and break the bread,
and humble us, and call us friends.
Suffer and serve till all are fed,
and show how grandly love intends
to work till all creation sings,
to fill all worlds, to crown all things.
5 Great God, in Christ you set us free
your life to live, your joy to share.
Give us your Spirit's liberty
to turn from guilt and dull despair,
and offer all that faith can do
while love is making all things new. Languages: English Tune Title: RYBURN

God Is Here!
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #526 (2006) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Pastors; Pastors First Line: God is here! As we your people Lyrics: 1 God is here! As we your people
meet to offer praise and prayer,
may we find in fuller measure
what it is in Christ we share.
Here, as in the world around us,
all our varied skills and arts
wait the coming of the Spirit
into open minds and hearts.
2 Here are symbols to remind us
of our lifelong need of grace;
here are table, font, and pulpit;
here the cross has central place.
Here in honesty of preaching,
here in silence, as in speech,
here, in newness and renewal,
God the Spirit comes to each.
3 Here our children find a welcome
in the Shepherd's flock and fold;
here as bread and wine are taken,
Christ sustains us as of old.
Here the servants of the Servant
seek in worship to explore
what it means in daily living
to believe and to adore.
4 Lord of all, of church and kingdom,
in an age of change and doubt,
keep us faithful to the gospel;
help us work your purpose out.
Here, in this day's dedication,
all we have to give, receive;
we, who cannot live without you,
we adore you! We believe!

To pray for health, to plead for friends.
How can we fail to be restored,
When reached by love that never ends?
2 From ev'ry ailment flesh endures
Our bodies clamor to be freed;
Yet in our hearts we would confess
That wholeness is our deepest need.
3 How strong, O Lord, are our desires,
How weak our knowledge of ourselves!
Release in us those healing truths
Unconscious pride resists or shelves.
4 In conflicts that destroy our health
We recognize the world's disease;
Our common life declares our ills:
Is there no cure, O Christ, for these?
5 Grant that we all, made one in faith,
In your community may find
The wholeness that, enriching us,
Shall reach the whole of humankind. Scripture: Ephesians 4 Languages: English Tune Title: ERHALT UNS HERR

The day he gave my sight to me:
It was not sin that made me blind;
It was no sinner made me see.
2 Let others call my faith a lie,
Or try to stir up doubt in me:
Look at me now! None can deny
I once was blind, and now I see.
3 Ask me not how! But I know who
Has opened up new worlds to me:
This Jesus does what none can do:
I once was blind, and now I see! Scripture: John 9 Languages: English Tune Title: ARLINGTON

How beauteous are their feet
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: A Pocket Hymn Book #HXXVII (1791) Topics: Pastoral Hymn Lyrics: 1 How beauteous are their feet
Who stand on Zion's hill,
That bring salvation on their tongues,
And words of peace reveal!
2 How charming is their voice,
How sweet the tidings are!
"Zion behold thy Saviour King,
"He reigns and triumphs here."
3 How happy are our ears,
That hear this joyful sound,
Which kings and prophets waited for,
And sought but never found!
4 How blessed are our eyes
That see this heav'nly light;
Prophets and kings desired it long,
But dy'd without the sight.
5 The watchmen join their voice,
And tuneful notes employ;
Jerusalem breaks forth in songs,
And desarts learn the joy.
6 The Lord makes bare his arm
Through all the earth abroad;
Let every nation now behold
Their Saviour and their God. Languages: English
How beauteous are their feet
