He Comes to Us As One Unknown
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (1926-); Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #456 (1998) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Scripture: 1 Kings 17, 18:1 Lyrics: 1 He comes to us as one unknown,
a breath unseen, unheard;
as though within a heart of stone,
or shriveled seed in darkness sown,
a pulse of being stirred.
2 He comes when souls in silence lie
and thoughts of day depart,
half-seen upon the inward eye,
a falling star across the sky
of night within the heart.
3 He comes to us in sound of seas,
the ocean's fume and foam;
yet small and still upon the breeze,
a wind that stirs the tops of trees,
a voice to call us home.
4 He comes in love as once he came
by flesh and blood and birth;
to bear within our mortal frame
a life, a death, a saving name
for every child of earth.
5 He comes in truth when faith is grown;
believed, obeyed, adored:
the Christ in all the Scriptures shown,
as yet unseen, but not unknown,
our Saviour and our Lord. Topics: Call and Vocation; Advent; Easter (third Sunday); Salvation/Redemption Languages: English Tune Title: LOBT GOTT, IHR CHRISTEN

A Prophet-Woman Broke a Jar
Author: Brian Wren (1936-) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #463 (1998) Scripture: 1 Kings 17, 18:1 Lyrics: 1 A prophet-woman broke a jar,
by Love's divine appointing.
With rare perfume she filled the room,
presiding and anointing.
A prophet-woman broke a jar,
the sneers of scorn defying.
With rare perfume she filled the room,
preparing Christ for dying.
2 A faithful woman left a tomb
by Love's divine commission.
She saw, she heard, she preached the word,
arising from submission.
A faithful woman left a tomb,
with resurrection gospel.
She saw, she heard, she preached the word,
apostle to apostles.
3 Though woman-wisdom, woman-truth,
for centuries were hidden,
unsung, unwritten, and unheard,
derided and forbidden,
the Spirit's breath, the Spirit's fire,
on free and slave descending,
can tumble our dividing walls,
our shame and sadness mending.
4 The Spirit knows, the Spirit calls,
by Love's divine ordaining,
the friends we need, to serve and lead,
their powers and gifts unchaining.
The Spirit knows, the Spirit calls,
from women, men and children,
the friends we need, to serve and lead.
Rejoice, and make them welcome! Topics: Call and Vocation; Mary Magdalene; Sunday of the Passion; Wisdom Languages: English Tune Title: MEGERRAN

Lord, Hear the Voice of My Complaint
Author: J. Agricola, 1494-1566 ; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #255 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.4.6.8 Scripture: 1 Kings 18:30-39 Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear the voice of my complaint,
To Thee I now commend me,
Let not my heart and hope grow faint,
But deign Thy grace to send me.
True faith from Thee, my God, I seek,
The faith that loves Thee solely,
Keeps me lowly,
And prompt to aid the weak,
And mark each word that Thou dost speak.
2 Yet more from Thee I dare to claim,
Whose goodness is unbounded;
Oh let me ne'er be put to shame,
My hope be ne'er confounded;
But e'en in death still find Thee true,
And in that hour, else lonely,
Trust Thee only,
Not aught that I can do,
For such false trust I sore should rue.
3 Oh grant that from my very heart
My foes be all forgiven,
Forgive my sins and heal their smart,
And grant new life from heaven.
Thy Word, that blessed food, bestow,
Which best the soul canst nourish;
Make it flourish
Through all the storms of woe
That else my faith might overthrow.
4 Then be the world my foe or friend,
Keep me to her a stranger,
Thy steadfast soldier to the end,
Through pleasure and through danger.
From Thee alone comes such high grace,
No works of ours obtain it,
Or can gain it;
Our pride hath here no place,
'Tis Thy free promise we embrace.
5 Help me, for I am weak; I fight,
Yet scarce can battle longer.
I cling but to Thy grace and might,
'Tis Thou must make me stronger.
When sore temptations are my lot,
And tempests round me lower,
Break their power;
So, through deliv'rance wrought,
I know that Thou forsak'st me not!

Elijah Bent and Touched the Earth
Author: Daniel Charles Damon Hymnal: New Hymns of Hope #52 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Scripture: 1 Kings 18:41-46 Lyrics: 1 Elijah bent and touched the earth,
his face between his knees.
He prayed to see a little cloud,
to feel a cooling breeze.
"I hear the sound of rushing rain,
the fragrance fills the air.
Go up now, look out toward the sea."
The boy saw nothing there.
2 "Why is Elijah sending me?
These seven times I go.
But wait! a cloud is forming there,
so small, so soft, so low,
no larger than a person's hand,
and rising from the sea.
As I looked out in my despair,
a cloud appeared to me."
3 "Go tell the wicked king to ride
his chariot back to town."
The sky turns black, the wind comes up,
the saving rain pours down.
Our lives and lands, both parched and dry,
are rich again with rain.
This land will blossom like a rose,
and joy may rise again. Topics: Creation; Faith; Prayer; Scripture-Based Languages: English Tune Title: RAIN SONG
