O My People, Saith the Spirit
Author: Joseph Luff, 1852-1948 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Calling and Vocation Lyrics: 1 O my people, saith the Spirit,
hear the word of God today;
be not slothful but obedient,
'tis the world's momentous day!
Unto honor I have called you—
honor great as angels know;
heed ye, then, a Father's counsel,
and by deeds your purpose show.
2 Time is ripe! My work must hasten!
Whoso will may bide the hour.
Naught can harm whom God protecteth—
elements confess his power.
Up ye, then, to the high places
I have bid you occupy!
Peril waits upon the heedless,
grace upon the souls who try!
3 Love ye me and love all people—
love as I have loved you;
this your calling— this my purpose—
thus be my disciples true.
Then in this exalted station
your companion I will be;
every promise of my scriptures
will be verified in thee.
4 Get ye up, then, to your mountain,
Zion of this closing day!
For the glory of my coming
waits to break upon your way!
Forth from thence our testimony
shall to trembling nations go,
and the world confess that with you
God has residence below.

O My People, Saith the Spirit
In the name of Christ we gather
Author: Shirley Erena Murray (b. 1931) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Vocation Lyrics: 1 In the name of Christ we gather,
in the name of Christ we sing!
Celebrate new vows, new promise
of a life's whole offering,
here ordained to lead God's people
at the Gospel's beckoning.
2 Sons and daughters of the Spirit,
we are called to teach and care,
called as were the first disciples,
commonwealth of Christ to share,
by the bread and wine and water
sacraments of grace declare.
3 In the ministry of preaching
may the Word spring into life,
in the time of doubt and challenge
may its truth affirm belief,
in the day of pain and darkness
heal the hurt of guilt and grief.
4 Now within this solemn moment
we invoke the power of God —
by the hands laid on in blessing
be there strength to take the load,
be there faithfulness in loving,
be there courage for this road.
5 Word of joy, enlivening Spirit,
more than lover, parent, friend,
born in Jesus, born in Mary,
born in us, that love extend,
grow within your chosen servant,
life of God that has no end! Scripture: Hebrews 13:15-16 Used With Tune: GRAFTON (TANTUM ERGO SACRAMENTUM)

Jesus, You Once Called Disciples
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Call/Vocation First Line: Jesus, you once called disciples, choosing twelve to follow you Lyrics: Jesus, you once called disciples, choosing twelve to follow you:
Simon (also known as Peter), Andrew and Bartholomew,
Philip, Thomas, James, and Matthew, Simon, Thaddaeus, John, and James–
Then there was the one called Judas. These were your disciples' names.
Women, too, were your disciples, sitting, learning, at your feet.
Mary knew your word was precious, even more than food to eat.
Martha trusted in your power when her brother Laz'rus died.
Women shared your journey, Lord, and stayed when you were crucified.
Lord, so many heard and followed, like the woman at the well.
Meeting you, the living water, she sought others she could tell.
Like the boy with loaves and fishes, like Zacchaeus in the tree,
Many gladly heard your message; many shared your ministry.
Jesus, still you call your people, "Come and follow me today!"
Some, like Paul, feel sudden wonder; some are brought up in your way.
Lord, no matter how we meet you, by your Spirit, make us new.
May we know your living presence; may we daily follow you.
