Come and Find the Quiet Centre

Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Holy Spirit Praise and Invocation Lyrics: 1 Come and find the quiet centre in the crowded life we lead, find the room for hope to enter, find the frame where we are freed: clear the chaos and the clutter, clear our eyes, that we can see all the things that really matter, be at peace, and simply be. 2 Silence is a friend who claims us, cools the heat and slows the pace, God it is who speaks and names us, knows our being, face to face, making space within our thinking, lifting shades to show the sun, raising courage when we're shrinking, finding scope for faith begun. 3 In the Spirit let us travel, open to each other's pain, let our loves and fears unravel, celebrate the space we gain: there's a place for deepest dreaming, there's a time for heart to care, in the Spirit's lively scheming there is always room to spare!

Lord of the Sabbath, Hear Us Pray

Author: Philip Doddridge; Thomas Cotterill Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 182 hymnals Topics: Invocation Lyrics: 1 Lord of the Sabbath, hear us pray, in this your house, on this your day; and own, as grateful sacrifice, the songs which from your temple rise. 2 Now met to pray and bless your name, whose mercies flow each day the same, whose kind compassions never cease, we seek instruction, pardon, peace. 3 Your earthly Sabbaths, Lord, we love, but there's a nobler rest above; to that our lab'ring souls aspire with ardent hope and strong desire. 4 In thy blest kingdom we shall be from ev'ry mortal trouble free; no sighs shall mingle with the songs Resounding from immortal tongues; 5 No rude alarms of raging foes; no cares to break the long repose; no midnight shade, no waning moon, but sacred, high, eternal noon. 6 O long-expected day, begin, dawn on these realms of woe and sin! Break, morn of God, upon our eyes; and let the world's true Sun arise! Scripture: Matthew 12:8 Used With Tune: GERMANY
