Thy Thoughts Concerning Me
Author: J. T. Nickens Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Holy Scripture First Line: Thy thoughts concerning me, O God Lyrics: 1 Thy thoughts concerning me, O God,
Are precious and divine,
Outnumbering the sands of time,
They assure me I am Thine.
2 When I awake I’m still with Thee,
I am by Thee beset;
Thy providence my path doth guard,
Thy mercy guides my feet.
3 Thy hand is oft upon me laid
When I would go astray,
Thou gently whisper'st in my ear,
"My child, this is the way."
4 There is no word my tongue can frame,
But what is known to Thee,
Else would I lose myself away,
In praises to Thy name.
5 But search me, Lord, and let my thoughts
Reflect Thy sovereign will,
And when I cross the bar, I pray
I may be with Thee still.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 139 Used With Tune: ALLEYNE

Called to Gather as God's People
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., 1944- Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Body of Christ; Centering; Communion; Community; Discipleship; Feminine Images; Gathering; Grâce; Holy Spirit; Light; Mission; Praise; Repentance; Scripture; Thanksgiving; Trinity Lyrics: 1 Called to gather as God's people,
we assemble in this place
to unite our hearts and voices
in thanksgiving for God's grace:
for the birthing of creation,
for Christ's rising from death's hold,
for the coming of the Spirit,
week by week claimed and retold.
2 Taught and formed by proclamation,
we await God's promised word:
song and story, psalm and precept,
all the range of scripture heard.
By this ancient, living witness
We are summoned to confess
how we fall short, yet can trust that
God will hear, forgive, and bless.
3 Fed at Christ's abundant table,
we partake of holy food,
wake the gifts of hope and mem'ry,
taste and see that God is good.
So our mingled lives are taken,
blessed, and broken for Christ's sake,
given out to feed and comfort
bodies, minds, and hearts that ache.
4 Sent to share the Spirit's blessing,
we go forth renewed, restored,
humbled by the task before us,
strengthened by the Love outpoured.
Finding faith confirmed in action,
led by hope through each new day,
we are called to be God's people,
living what we sing and pray. Scripture: Romans 10:17 Used With Tune: O DU LIEBE MEINER LIEBE
Called to Gather as God's People
Everlasting Love and electing Grace
Author: Toplady Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings God's Everlasting Love; Election; Everlasting love; Holiness desired; Love of God, electing everlasting First Line: How happy are we Lyrics: 1 How happy are we
Our election who see,
And venture, O Lord, for salvation on thee!
In Jesus approv'd,
Eternally lov'd,
Upheld by thy power we cannot be mov'd.
2 'Tis sweet to recline
On the bosom divine,
And experience the comforts peculiar to thine;
While, born from above,
And upheld by thy love
With singing and triumph to Zion we move.
3 Our seeking thy face,
Was all of thy grace;
Thy mercy demands and shall have all the praise.
No sinner can be
Beforehand with thee,
Thy grace is preventing, almighty and free.
4 Our Savior and friend
His love shall extend,
It knew no beginning, and never shall end.
Whom once he receives
is spirit ne'er leaves,
Nor ever repents of the grace that he gives.
5 This proof we would give,
That thee we receive,
Thou art precious alone to the souls that believe.
Be precious to us!
All beside is as dross,
Compar'd with thy love and the blood of thy Cross.
Part the second:
6 Yet, one thing we want
More holiness grant!
For more of thy mind, and thine image we pant;
Thine image impress
On thy favorite race,
O fashion and polish thy vessels of grace.
7 Thy workmanship we
More fully would be,
Lord, stretch out thy hand and conform us to thee;
While outward we move
To Canaan above,
Come fill us with holiness, fill us with love.
8 Vouchsafe us to know
More of thee below
Thus fit us for heaven, and glory bestow
Our harps shall be tun'd,
The Lamb shall be crown'd;
Salvation to Jesus thro' heaven shall resound.
Everlasting Love and electing Grace

Thy prophets, who have shown Thy gift
Of grace that ever grows,
Of truth that spreads from shore to shore,
Of wisdom's widening ray,
Of light that shineth more and more
Unto Thy perfect day.

With hearts all unafraid,
The meaning and the mystery
Of things that Thou hast made:
Shine forth, and let the darkling past
Beneath Thy beam grow bright;
Shine forth, and touch the future vast
With Thine untroubled light.

Light up our way; lead forth this age
In love's large liberty.

And praise Thee evermore.
