Ye, a royal generation, tell the tidings of your birth, tidings of a new creation to an old and weary earth. 3 Tell the praise of him who called you out of darkness into light, broke the fetters that enthralled you, gave you freedom, peace and sight: tell the tale of sins forgiven, strength renewed and hope restored, till the earth, in tune with heaven, praise and magnify the Lord!

Sing of Andrew, John's disciple

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., 1944- Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sing of Andrew, John's disciple, led by faith through ways untrod, till the Baptist cried at Jordan, 'There behold the Lamb of God!' Stirred by hearing this new teacher, Andrew, freed from doubt and fear, ran to tell his brother Simon, 'God's Anointed One is here!' 2 Sing of Andrew, called by Jesus from the shores of Galilee, leaving boats and nets and kindred, trusting in that 'Follow me.' When a lad's small meal fed thousands, when inquiring Greeks found care, when the Spirit came in blessing, Andrew faithfully was there. 3 Sing of Andrew, bold apostle, sent to make the gospel known, faithful to his Lord's example, called to make a cross his own. So may we who prize his memory honour Christ in our own day, bearing witness to our neighbours, living what we sing and pray.

Mighty God Who Called Creation

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Mighty God who called creation From the unformed womb of space, Newborn worlds of gleaming glory, Fresh with hope and ripe with grace: Speak again with pow'r and promise When the storms of fear increase; To our chaos and confusion Let Your light and truth bring peace. 2 As we worship, may Your Spirit Breathe through us the pow'r of prayer, Words of life for daily living, Strength to do and faith to dare. Come, enflame us, Holy Spirit, Like the Church at Pentecost; Help us bear the light of blessing To the least, the last, the lost. 3 Rooted in the love of Jesus, Nourished by His flesh and blood, May we prove a fruitful vineyard Joined in mutual servanthood. Work through us, O risen Savior, To reap peace from fields of strife; Bring our barren wastes to blossom; Lead us out of death to life. 4 Keep us faithful, joyful, loving, Filled with hope through grief and pain, Knowing that the One who made us Has redeemed and will sustain: Triune God, of boundless glory, Yet in human form made known, Raise us up to be a people Called by love to be Your own.
