When at This Table
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: John 12:26 First Line: When at this table I receive a blessing Lyrics: 1 When at this table I receive a blessing,
the broken bread, the wine of life for me,
then let me share the peace with you, my neighbor,
and let the Spirit set our spirits free.
2 If at this table I have need of healing,
unbidden grief, relationship gone wrong,
then let me know the hands of God enfolding,
and let lament become believing song.
3 If at this table I forget the hungry,
the dispossessed and warfare’s spreading stain,
then let this bread become the bread of judgment,
this wine the sharp awareness of that pain.
4 If at this table I make dedication
to give my life in serving what is good,
then let my center be where God invites me,
and show the words of Jesus understood.
5 What faith I have, I bring to join this table,
what hope I hold, in Christ is taught and true;
with brothers, sisters, I will share the blessing,
the feast where God is making all things new. Topics: Dedication; Eucharist; Lord's Supper; Communion Used With Tune: FEASTDAY

Where is death's sting
Author: Godfrey Fox Bradby, 1863-c. 1929 Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: John 12:25 First Line: Where is death's sting? We were not born to die Lyrics: 1 Where is death's sting? We were not born to die,
nor only for the life beyond the grave;
all that is beautiful in earth and sky,
all skill, all knowledge, all the powers we have,
are of your giving, and in them we view
no dust and ashes, but a part of you.
2 Laughter is yours, the laughter free from scorn,
and yours the smile upon a cheerful face:
yours, too, the tears, when love for love must mourn,
and death brings silence for a little space.
You give to us and do not take away:
the parting is but here, and for a day.
3 Fullness of life, in body, mind and soul;
"Who saves their life shall lose it," you have said:
a great adventure with a glorious goal;
nothing that lives in you is ever dead:
brave living here, and then, beyond the grave,
more life and more adventure for the brave. Topics: Death; Funeral; Laughter / Mirth; Our Hope in God; Promise; Tears / Weeping Used With Tune: SONG 1

Sing, My Tongue, the Ageless Story
Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: John 12:20-36 Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the ageless story
As the cross is lifted high!
Tell how Christ our Savior conquered,
When for us he came to die
As a victim in the battle,
Death's dominion to belie.
2 Adam tasted sin and sorrow,
Eating of the fearful tree;
All undoing our enchainment,
By the tree Christ sets us free,
Crushing hell's own tool of bondage
By his great humility.
3 Silence cloaked the earth and heavens
Round the hill of Calvary;
Nailed upon the tree of glory,
Christ endured his agony.
In his royal blood descending
Comes our peace, our liberty.
4 Cross triumphant! Cross transforming!
Ensign of humanity!
Faithful cross, above all others,
One and only noble tree:
Gracious wood and gracious iron,
Gracious burden borne on thee!
