As we your 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 the 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: Ephesians 4:1-24 Languages: English Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH

The Earth Is the Lord's

Author: Erik Routley Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #656 (1995) Meter: Irregular Topics: Church--Foundation and nature 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.
