Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #654 (1995) Meter: 9.10.10.9 Topics: Stewardship and Service Lyrics: 1 Thank you, God, for water, soil and air,
large gifts supporting ev'rything that lives.

Forgive our greed and carelessness of pow'r.

Touch the Earth Lightly
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #655 (1995) Meter: 5.5.10 D Topics: Stewardship and Service Lyrics: 1 Touch the earth lightly,
use the earth gently,
nourish the life of the world in our care:
gift of great wonder,
ours to surrender,
trust for the children tomorrow will bear.
2 We who endanger,
who create hunger,
agents of death for all creatures that live,
we who would foster
clouds of disaster -
God of our planet, forestall and forgive!
3 Let there be greening,
birth from the burning,
water that blesses and air that is sweet,
health in God’s garden,
hope in God’s children,
regeneration that peace will complete.
4 God of all living,
God of all loving,
God of the seedling, the snow and the sun,
teach us, deflect us,
Christ reconnect us,
using us gently, and making us one. Scripture: Hosea 4:1-3 Languages: English Tune Title: TENDERNESS
Touch the Earth Lightly
The Earth Is the Lord's
Author: Erik Routley Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #656 (1995) Meter: Irregular Topics: Stewardship and Service First Line: The earth is the Lord's and its fulness Lyrics: 1 The earth is the Lord's and its fulness,
its mystery, splendor and wealth,
its bounty, fertility, kindness,
its beauty, its reason, its health;
then who is this wise-hearted steward
who faithfully carries this trust?
The generous, gentle, obedient,
the patient, the honest, the just.
2 The earth is the Lord's own possession,
not the tithe, nor the half, but the whole:
he made it, sustains it, and leads it
in love to its heavenly goal;
but the harmony of the creation
is broken by self-hood and vice
when the anxious, incompetent steward
in fear keeps back part of the price.
3 The church is the Lord's, and its people
the Body of Christ, who impart
the word and the feast and the friendship,
(his head and his hands and his heart!)
Where sisters and brothers together
in laughter and worship and prayer
give all to each other, then heaven
is present on earth with them there.
4 All life is the Lord's, who in giving
his Son, gave him glory again -
for he who surrendered his spirit
is he who ascended to reign;
the talent when buried
was withered, the manna, when hoarded, decayed,
but Love meets us in resurrection
when love gives itself unafraid.
Scripture: Psalm 24:1-2 Languages: English Tune Title: MOUNT MORRIS, NEW
The Earth Is the Lord's
All Labor Gained New Dignity
Author: John Oxenham, 1852-1941 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #448 (1957) Topics: The Christian Way of Life Stewardship and Service Lyrics: 1 All labor gained new dignity
Since He who all creation made
Toiled with His hands for daily bread
Right manfully.
2 No work is commonplace, if all
Be done as unto Him alone;
Life's simplest toil to Him is known,
Who knoweth all.
3 Each smallest common thing He makes
Serves Him with its minutest part;
Man only, with his wand'ring heart,
His way forsakes.
4 His service is life's highest joy,
It yields fair fruit a hundredfold,
Be this our prayer--"Not fame, nor gold,
But Thine employ!"
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ALMSGIVING
All Labor Gained New Dignity
Master, No Offering
Author: Edwin P. Parker, 1836-1925 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #449 (1957) Topics: The Christian Way of Life Stewardship and Service Lyrics: 1 Master, no offering,
Costly and sweet,
May we, like Magdalene,
Lay at Thy feet;
Yet may love's incense rise,
Sweeter than sacrifice,
Dear Lord, to Thee,
Dear Lord, to Thee.
2 Daily our lives would show
Weakness made strong,
Toilsome and gloomy ways
Brightened with song;
Some deeds of kindness done,
Some souls by patience won,
Dear Lord, to Thee,
Dear Lord, to thee.
3 Some word of hope for hearts
Burdened with fears,
Some balm of peace for eyes
Blinded with tears:
Some dews of mercy shed,
Some wayward footstep led,
Dear Lord, to Thee,
Dear Lord, to Thee.
4 Thus, in Thy service, Lord,
Till eventide
Closes the day of life,
May we abide!
And when earth's labors cease,
Bid us depart in peace,
Dear Lord, to Thee,
Dear Lord, to Thee.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: LOVE'S OFFERING
Master, No Offering
O Master, Let Me Walk with Thee
Author: Washington Gladden, 1836-1918 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #454 (1957) Topics: The Christian Way of Life Stewardship and Service Lyrics: 1 O Master, let me walk with Thee
In lowly paths of service free;
Tell me Thy secret; help me bear
The strain of toil, the fret of care.
2 Help me the slow of heart to move
By some clear, winning word of love;
Teach me the wayward feet to stay,
And guide them in the homeward way.
3 Teach me Thy patience! still with Thee
In closer, dearer company,
In work that keeps faith sweet and strong,
In trust that triumphs over wrong;
4 In hope that sends a shining ray
Far down the future's broad'ning way,
In peace that only Thou canst give,
With Thee, O Master, let me live.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: MARYTON

Must I Go, and Empty-Handed?
Author: Charles C. Luther, 1847-1924 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #456 (1957) Topics: The Christian Way of Life Stewardship and Service First Line: Must I go, and empty-handed Refrain First Line: Must I go, and empty-handed Lyrics: 1 “Must I go, and empty-handed,”
Thus my dear Redeemer meet?
Not one day of service give Him,
Lay no trophy at His feet?
Refrain:
“Must I go, and empty-handed?”
Must I meet my Savior so?
Not one soul with which to greet Him:
Must I empty-handed go?
2 Not at death I shrink or falter,
For my Savior saves me now;
But to meet Him empty-handed,
Tho't of that now clouds my brow. (Refrain)
3 O the years in sinning wasted,
Could I but recall them now,
I would give them to my Saviour,
To His will I’d gladly bow. (Refrain)
4 O ye saints, arouse, be earnest,
Up and work while yet ’tis day;
Ere the night of death o’ertake thee,
Strive for souls while still you may. (Refrain) Languages: English Tune Title: [Must I go, and empty-handed]
Must I Go, and Empty-Handed?

His Kingdom tarries long;
Bring in the day of brotherhood
And end the night of wrong.

The Church for you doth wait,
Her strength unequal to her task;
Rise up, and make her great!

Tread where His feet have trod;
As brothers of the Son of man,
Rise up, O men of God!
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: FESTAL SONG
Rise Up, O Men of God!
