Author: Fred R. Anderson, 1941- Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: John 10:14 Lyrics: 1 With welcome heart we greet you, Lord,
the giver of this day.
For rest and safety through the night
receive our thanks we pray.
We venture forth into this day
upon the paths you set.
So use us in your service, Lord,
wherever need is met.
2 We gather in the name of Christ
to bless your holy name.
You touch us in our hops and fears
our triumph and our pain.
You give us power to be new,
removing our regret.
You send us forth to share good news
wherever need is met.
3 The orphaned child whose past is lost
to brokenness and pain.
The anxious young confused with choice
which offers loss or gain.
The eager student working hard,
yet caught in worry's net;
so use us, Lord, with each of these,
wherever need is met.
4 So shall we love and serve you, Lord,
Good Shepherd of our days.
And trust you on this path of life
to guide in faithful ways.
When threatened by the shade of death,
still we shall trust you yet,
to draw us wholly to yourself,
for there all need is met. Used With Tune: GALLANT
