Highly Favored Congregation
Author: Samuel T. Benade Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #515 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: Church--Community in Christ Lyrics: 1 Highly favored congregation,
loved by Jesus and esteemed,
ne’er forget thy destination,
why from this vain world redeemed.
2 Grounded on your Savior’s merit,
blessed in his communion sweet,
destined heaven to inherit,
and the church above to meet.
3 Witness here to all around you
of your Savior’s dying love;
tell them how he sought and found you,
gave you grace from heav'n above.
4 Evidence by word and action
that your faith is not in vain,
that your highest satisfaction
centers in the Lamb once slain.
5 By love’s closest bonds united,
as the Lord’s own family,
be to serve his name excited,
be to him a fruitful tree. Scripture: Luke 24:44-49 Languages: English Tune Title: BATTY

My Soul, Now Praise Your Maker
Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1820-1878; Johann Graumann, 1487-1541 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #519 (1978) Topics: Community in Christ First Line: My soul, now praise your maker! Lyrics: 1 My soul, now praise your maker!
Let all within me bless his name
Who makes you full partaker
Of mercies more than you dare claim.
Forget him not whose meekness
Still bears with all your sin,
Who heals your ev'ry weakness,
Renews your life within;
Whose grace and care are endless
And saved you through the past;
Who leaves no suff'rer friendless,
But rights the wronged at last.
2 He offers all his treasure
Of justice, truth, and righteousness,
His love beyond all measure,
His yearning pity o'er distress,
Nor treats us as we merit,
But sets his anger by.
The poor and contrite spirit
Finds his compassion nigh;
And high as heav'n above us,
As break from close of day,
So far, since he has loved us,
He puts our sins away.
3 For as a loving mother
Has pity on her children here,
God in his arms will gather
All those who him like children fear.
He knows how frail our powers,
Who but from dust are made.
We flourish as the flowers,
And even so we fade;
The wind but o'er them passes,
And all their bloom is o'er.
We wither like the grasses;
Our place knows us no more.
4 His grace remains forever,
And children's children yet shall prove
That God forsakes them never
Who in true fear shall seek his love.
In heav'n is fixed his dwelling,
His rule is over all;
You hosts with might excelling,
With praise before him fall.
Praise him forever reigning,
All here who hear his Word -
Our life and all sustaining.
My soul, oh, praise the Lord! Languages: English Tune Title: NUN LOB MEIN SEEL

This Is a Day, Lord, Gladly Awaited
Author: Jeffery Rowthorn, b. 1934 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #586 (2006) Meter: 5.5.5.4 D Topics: Community in Christ First Line: This is a day, Lord Lyrics: 1 This is a day, Lord, gladly awaited;
thankful our hearts, Lord, joyous our praise.
See here before you two whom we cherish;
keep them beside you all of their days.
2 Bless now their vows, Lord, sealing commitment;
deepen their trust, Lord, lovingly won.
Working your wonders, knit them together
so nothing sunders two become one.
3 Sow in their hearts, Lord, seeds of compassion;
reap in their lives, Lord, care for your earth.
May they encourage others by being
signs of God's new age coming to birth.
4 Hallow the years, Lord, they spend together,
growing in love, Lord, as you intend;
freely forgiving, time without number;
selflessly living, time without end.

O Christian, Love
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Hymnal: Voices United #594 (1996) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Church Community in Christ First Line: O Christian, love your sister and your brother! Lyrics: 1 O Christian, love your sister and your brother!
Where pity dwells, the peace of God is there;
to worship rightly is to love each other,
each smile a hymn, each kindly deed a prayer.
2 Follow with reverent steps the great example:
Jesus whose holy work was doing good;
so shall the wide earth seem a hallowed temple,
each loving life a psalm of gratitude.
4 Then shall all shackles fall; the stormy clangour
of wild war-music o'er the earth shall cease;
love shall tread out the baleful fire of anger,
and in its ashes plant the tree of peace. Tune Title: WELWYN

When the Church of Jesus
Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #651 (1995) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Topics: Church--Community in Christ First Line: When the church of Jesus shuts its outer door Lyrics: 1 When the church of Jesus shuts its outer door,
lest the roar of traffic drown the voice of prayer:
may our prayers, Lord, make us ten times more aware
that the world we banish is our Christian care.
2 If our hearts are lifted where devotion soars
high above this hungry, suff'ring world of ours:
lest our hymns should drug us to forget its needs,
forge our Christian worship into Christian deeds.
3 Lest the gifts we offer, money, talents, time,
serve to salve our conscience, to our secret shame:
Lord, reprove, inspire us by the way you give;
teach us, dying Savior, how true Christians live. Scripture: James 2:14-17 Languages: English Tune Title: KING'S WESTON

Lord, When I Came into This Life
Author: Fred Kaan Hymnal: Glory to God #691 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Community in Christ Lyrics: 1 Lord, when I came into this life
you called me by my name;
today I come, commit myself,
responding to your claim.

as member of your cast,
I take my place with all the saints
of future, present, past.
3 In all the tensions of my life,
between my faith and doubt,
let your great Spirit give me hope,
sustain me, lead me out.
4 So help me in my unbelief
and let my life be true:
feet firmly planted on the earth,
my sights set high on you.

When Love Is Found
Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Hymnal: With One Voice #749 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Community in Christ First Line: When love is found and hope comes home Lyrics: 1 When love is found,
and hope comes home,
sing and be glad
that two are one.
When love explodes
and fills the sky,
praise God, and share
our Maker's joy.
2 When love has flow'red
in trust and care,
build both each day,
that love may dare
to reach beyond
home's warmth and light,
to serve and strive
for truth and right.
3 When love is tried
as loved ones change,
hold still to hope,
though all seems strange,
till ease returns
and love grows wise
through list'ning ears
and opened eyes.
4 When love is torn
and trust betrayed,
pray strength to love
till torments fade,
till lovers keep
no score of wrong,
but hear through pain
love's Easter song.
5 Praise God for love,
praise God for life,
in age or youth,
in husband, wife.
Lift up your hearts,
Let love be fed
through death and life
in broken bread. Scripture: Genesis 2:18-24 Languages: English Tune Title: O WALY WALY
