O Lord, You Called Disciples

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Matthew 25:31-46 First Line: O Lord, you called disciples, proclaiming, "Come and see!" Lyrics: O Lord, you called disciples, proclaiming, “Come and see!” And so an invitation began your ministry. Then Andrew called his brother, and Peter came to you; More men and women followed, and little children, too. You met a busy woman out in the noon-day sun. You shared God’s love, you listened; you told all she had done. She called her friends and neighbors and brought them face to face With you, the living water, the bearer of God’s grace. O Christ, your invitation has reached from year to year! Through some who heard you calling, a church was founded here. As faithful people served you a century ago,* They soon invited others; your church began to grow. God, by your Holy Spirit, now send us in your name To serve the lost and outcast, the poor for whom you came. Through gifts of hope and healing, through loving ministry, May we reach out, inviting the world to “Come and see!” *Or “as faithful people served you so many years ago,” Topics: Call/Vocation; Jesus Christ Ministry Used With Tune: LANCASHIRE

Looking Back, O God, We Wonder

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Matthew 25:38-40 First Line: Looking back, O God, we wonder of that time in history Lyrics: Looking back, O God, we wonder of that time in history When the early settlers gathered, building this community. Children did their chores and played here; men and women worked the land. Sundays, Lord, they knelt and prayed here, seeking your protecting hand. Looking to your love, we worship as your people long have done, Sharing bread and Word and friendship, singing praises to your Son. Bricks of old are such a treasure, well-worn pews proclaim our past; But your love beyond all measure is the treasure that will last. Looking out, we see our neighbors, and—in each one—Jesus’ face. God, we offer you our labors so that all will know your grace. As we witness all around us, as we welcome strangers in, As we help those lost and homeless, your church welcomes you again. Looking on to where we’re going, God, we wonder what will be; Yet we trust your Spirit, knowing you will guide our ministry. You give each new generation ways to praise you, work to do; God, be with this congregation as we keep on serving you. Topics: Anniversary, Church Used With Tune: HYMN TO JOY
