Commit Your Way to God the Lord

Author: Michael Perry Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Doubt Lyrics: 1 Commit your way to God the Lord your cause will shine as bright as fire; delight to do God’s holy word and you shall find what you desire. 2 Be still before the Lord and wait, and do not fret when wrong succeeds; refrain from anger, turn from hate, for God will punish evil deeds. 3 Salvation comes from God alone: the faithful know their help is sure; to heaven all our needs are known, and in God’s strength we are secure. 4 Commit your way to God the Lord, to peace and truth and grace aspire; then mercy shall be your reward, God's promises your heart's desire.

Come, living God, when least expected

Author: Alan Gaunt (b. 1935) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Doubt Lyrics: 1 Come, living God, when least expected, when minds are dull and hearts are cold, through sharpening word and warm affection revealing truths as yet untold. 2 Break from the tomb in which we hide you to speak again in startling ways; break through the words in which we bind you to resurrect our lifeless praise. 3 Come now, as once you came to Moses within the bush alive with flame; or to Elijah on the mountain, by silence pressing home your claim. 4 So, let our minds be sharp to read you in sight or sound or printed page, and let us greet you in our neighbours, in ardent youth or mellow age. 5 Then, through our gloom, your Son will meet us as vivid truth and living Lord, exploding doubt and disillusion to scatter hope and joy abroad. 6 Then we will share his radiant brightness, and, blazing through the dread of night, illuminate by love and reason, for those in darkness, faith's delight. Scripture: Exodus 3:1-14 Used With Tune: SPIRITUS VITRE

Come, Labor On

Author: Jane Laurie Borthwick Meter: 4.10.10.10.4 Appears in 71 hymnals Topics: Doubt Lyrics: 1 Come, labor on. Who dares stand idle on the harvest plain while all around us waves the golden grain? And to each servant does the Master say, "Go work today." 2 Come, labor on. Claim the high calling angels cannot share-- to young and old the gospel gladness bear; Redeem the time; its hours too swiftly fly. The night draws nigh. 3 Come, labor on. Away with gloomy doubts and faithless fear! No arm so weak but may do service here: by feeblest agents may our God fulfill his righteous will. 4 Come, labor on. No time for rest, till glows the western sky, till the long shadows o'er our pathway lie and a glad sound comes with the setting sun, "Well done, well done!" Scripture: Matthew 25:21-23 Used With Tune: ORA LABORA

God is here! As we his people

Author: Fred Pratt Green (1903-2000) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 48 hymnals Topics: Doubt Lyrics: 1 God is here! As we his 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 his 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! Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:27-31 Used With Tune: EVERTON

The doubting christian

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Christiian Doubting; Christiian Doubting First Line: Of sinful Adam's num'rous race Lyrics: 1 Of sinful Adam's num'rous race, I find myself most vile; To me can God extend his grace Or ever grant a smile? 2 Can I be call'd a child of God, Can I his promise claim; While sinking in the loathsome flood, Of inbred sin and shame? 3 Once I could shout his praises high, And call him Lord and king; But now how cold and dead I lie, Nor dare I think to sing. 4 Once I could join his praying flock, And thought the union sweet: Conscience forbids me now to mock, By claiming there a seat. 5 Was I deceiv'd? Blest spirit tell, Nor leave me to despair: Sometimes a heav'n sometimes a hell, Within this heart appear. 6 Sometimes I feel a beam divine, The God I own and love; It seams direct from heav'n to shine, And call me strait above. 7 I stretch my wings, and fain wold fly; But Oh, my want of pow'r! The vision ends, I sin and sigh, And count the awful score. 8 Great God resolve this painful strife, Grant faith and love may reign; Then I'll devote an endless life To sing in highest strain.
