They Cast Their Nets

Author: William A. Percy, 1885-1942 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #449 (1978) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 First Line: They cast their nets in Galilee Lyrics: 1 They cast their nets in Galilee, Just off the hills of brown; Such happy, simple fisher-folk, Before the Lord came down, Before the Lord came down. 2 Contented, peaceful fishermen, Before they ever knew The peace of God that filled their hearts Brimful, and broke them too, Brimful, and broke them too. 3 Young John, who trimmed the flapping sail, Homeless in Patmos died. Peter, who hauled the teeming net, Head down was crucified, Head down was crucified. 4 The peace of God, it is no peace, But strife closed in the sod. Yet, let us pray for but one thing: The marv'lous peace of God, The marv'lous peace of God. Topics: Trust, Guidance; Trust, Guidance Languages: English Tune Title: PEACE OF GOD

Dear Father, Lord of humankind

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-1892 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #451 (1997) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Dear Father, Lord of humankind, forgive our foolish ways; reclothe us in our rightful mind; in purer lives thy service find, in deeper reverence, praise. 2 In simple trust like theirs who heard, beside the Syrian sea, the gracious calling of the Lord, let us, like them, without a word rise up and follow thee. 3 O Sabbath rest by Galilee, O calm of hills above, where Jesus knelt to share with thee the silence of eternity, interpreted by love. 4 With that deep hush subduing all our words and works that drown the tender whisper of thy call, as noiseless let thy blessing fall as fell thy manna down. 5 Drop thy still dews of quietness, till all our strivings cease; take from our souls the strain and stress, and let our ordered lives confess the beauty of thy peace. 6 Breathe through the heats of our desire thy coolness and thy balm; let sense be dumb, let flesh retire; speak through the earthquake, wind and fire, O still small voice of calm.

Eternal light, eternal light!

Author: T. Binney (1798-1874) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #454 (1987) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Eternal light, eternal light! how pure the soul must be when, placed within your searching sight, it does not fear, but with delight can face such majesty. 2 The spirits who surround your throne may bear that burning bliss; but that is surely theirs alone, since they have never, never known a fallen world like this. 3 There is a way for man to rise to that sublime abode: an offering and a sacrifice, a Holy Spirit’s energies, an advocate with God. 4 Such grace prepares us for the sight of holiness above; the child of ignorance and night may dwell in the eternal light, through the eternal love.

He Comes to Us As One Unknown

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (1926-); Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #456 (1998) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Lyrics: 1 He comes to us as one unknown, a breath unseen, unheard; as though within a heart of stone, or shriveled seed in darkness sown, a pulse of being stirred. 2 He comes when souls in silence lie and thoughts of day depart, half-seen upon the inward eye, a falling star across the sky of night within the heart. 3 He comes to us in sound of seas, the ocean's fume and foam; yet small and still upon the breeze, a wind that stirs the tops of trees, a voice to call us home. 4 He comes in love as once he came by flesh and blood and birth; to bear within our mortal frame a life, a death, a saving name for every child of earth. 5 He comes in truth when faith is grown; believed, obeyed, adored: the Christ in all the Scriptures shown, as yet unseen, but not unknown, our Saviour and our Lord. Topics: Call and Vocation; Advent; Easter (third Sunday); Salvation/Redemption Scripture: Genesis 1:1-5 Languages: English Tune Title: LOBT GOTT, IHR CHRISTEN
