What Gift Can We Bring
Author: Jane Marshall, b. 1924 Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1
What gift can we bring, what present, what token?
What words can convey it, the joy of this day?
When grateful we come, remembering, rejoicing,
what song can we offer in honor and praise?
2
Give thanks for the past, for those who had vision,
who planted and watered so dreams could come
true.
Give thanks for the now, for study, for worship,
for mission that bids us turn prayer into deed.
3
Give thanks for tomorrow, full of surprises,
for knowing whatever tomorrow may bring,
the Word is our promise always, forever;
we rest in God’s keeping and live in God’s love.
4
This gift we now bring, this present, this token,
these words can’t convey it, the joy of this day!
When grateful we come, remembering, rejoicing,
this song we now offer in honor and praise!

Through all the world let every nation sing to God,
the king!
As Lord may Christ preside where now he is defied,
and sovereign place his throne in lands not yet his
own.
Through all the world let every nation sing to God,
the King!

May Christ be now the norm to which we all
conform,
his passion cure the sin that festers from within.
Through all the world let every one express true
righteousness!

of grace!
May Christ’s great light consume our cities darkest
gloom;

Through all the world let every one embrace the gift
of grace!

If all the world in every part shall hear and God
revere,
we must be moved to care and in his name to share
the liberating Word which must be told abroad.
Then all the world in every part shall hear and God
revere!

Psalm 90: God Everlasting
Author: David Mowbray, b. 1938 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: God everlasting, at your word the hills in splendor rise Lyrics: 1 God everlasting, at your word
the hills in splendor rise;
they overshadow human life
whose glory swiftly dies.
2 Our days like dreams come to an end,
our story soon is told,
when strength is spent, and beauty fades,
and bodies have grown old.
3 Teach us, good Lord, to count our days,
to cherish every hour,
to seek your will, to do your work,
and trust your mighty power.
4 Lord, at your hand we have received
the cup of joy and pain;
pour out the fullness of your grace
and we shall sing again!
