The Church of Christ in Every Age

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 31 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The church of Christ in every age, Beset by change but Spirit led, Must claim and test its heritage And keep on rising from the dead. 2 Across the world, across the street, The victims of injustice cry For shelter and for bread to eat, And never live until they die. 3 Then let the servant church arise, A caring church that longs to be A partner in Christ's sacrifice, And clothed in Christ's humanity. 4 For Christ alone, whose blood was shed, Can cure the fever in our blood, And teach us how to share our bread And feed the starving multitude. 5 We have no mission but to serve In full obedience to our Lord: To care for all, without reserve, And spread his liberating word.

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.
