Make Us, O God, a Church That Shares

Author: Victor Kane, 1906-1983 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Challenge Lyrics: 1 Make us, O God, a church that shares your love for humankind; that lives the truth your word declares, and heeds the Master's mind. Help us reach out with loving hands, in times that try the soul, with sympathy that understands and makes the needy whole. 2 Make us, O God, a church that cares for every human need; that suffers when one life despairs, and moves to intercede. Give to our voice prophetic pow'r that stirs each wav'ring heart to meet the challenge of this hour and take a noble part. 3 Make us, O God, a church that dares courageously to act; that clothes with flesh its fervent prayers and makes the gospel fact. Now thrust us from the cloistered halls where we may want to hide and send us forth where duty calls to serve the Crucified! Scripture: Romans 12:9-18 Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN

Your Love, O God, Has All the World Created

Author: Albert F. Bayly, 1901-1994 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Challenge of Gospel Lyrics: 1 Your love, O God, has all the world created, And led your people to this present hour; In Christ we see life's glory consummated; Your Spirit manifests his living pow'r. 2 We bring you, Lord, in fervent intercession The children of your world-wide family; With contrite hearts we offer our confession, For we have sinned against your charity. 3 From out the darkness of our hope's frustration, From all the broken idols of our pride, We turn to seek your truth's illumination, And find your mercy waiting at our side. 4 In pity look upon your children's striving In daily struggles to be understood, Till at the fullness of your truth arriving, We find in Christ the crown of ev'ry good. 5 Inspire your church, mid earth's discordant voices, To preach the gospel of its Lord above, Until the day this warring world rejoices To hear the mighty harmonies of love. Scripture: John 17:1-8 Used With Tune: NORTHBROOK

O Saviour, I am coming

Empty is the world’s enjoyment, Fleeting is its glittering show; When I see my Saviour’s brightness All is darkness here below. Refrain: O Saviour, I am coming, Coming, coming! O Saviour, I am coming, I’m coming now to thee. 2 Coming with my heart of sorrow, Coming with my life of care, Coming to the Lord of mercy, Coming to the God of prayer. Leaving all the world behind me, Leaving all my doubts and fears, Pressing on to find my Saviour, Who will wipe away my tears. 3 Giving now my soul and body As an offering, Lord, to thee, I would follow in thy footsteps, Living, dying, thine to be. O in mercy let thy blessing Fill and overflow my heart! All my ways and thoughts possessing, Come, dear Lord, no more to part.

Round us flows the cleansing river

Author: Richard Slater (1854-1939) Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: The life of holiness Challenge First Line: Yes, there flows a wondrous river Lyrics: 1 Yes, there flows a wondrous river, That can make the foulest clean; To the soul it is the giver Of the freedom from all sin.

Losing burdens that need never Rise again to bring you care? 4 On the margin of this river, In your stains, why still delay? Why not now be free for ever And the voice of God obey?
