God Is Here!

Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 47 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 23:1 First Line: God is here! As we your people Lyrics: 1 God is here! 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! Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH

The Master has called us: tho' doubt and temptation May compass our journey, we cheerfully sing: "Press onward, look upward," thro' much tribulation; The children of Zion must follow their King. 3 The Master has called us in life's early morning, With spirits as fresh as the dew on the sod; We turn from the world with its smiles and its scorning, To cast in our lot with the people of God: The Master has called us, His sons and His daughters, We plead for His blessing and trust in His love; And through the green pastures, beside the still waters, He'll lead us at last to His kingdom above.

God, who in various methods told

When we are rais'd from deep distress

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 31 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 23 Lyrics: When we are raised from deep distress, Our God deserves a song; We take the pattern of our praise From Hezekiah's tongue. The gates of the devouring grave Are opened wide in vain, If he that holds the keys of death Commands them fast again. Pains of the flesh are wont t' abuse Our minds with slavish fears: "Our days are past, and we shall lose The remnant of our years." We chatter with a swallow's voice, Or like a dove we mourn, With bitterness instead of joys, Afflicted and forlorn. Jehovah speaks the healing word, And no disease withstands; Fevers and plagues obey the Lord, And fly at his commands. If half the strings of life should break, He can our frame restore; He casts our sins behind his back, And they are found no more.
