How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord
Author: Fred Pratt Green, b. 1903 Hymnal: Hymnal Supplement 98 #879 (1998) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Topics: Vocation Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord,
When once we heed Your call:
To live according to Your Word,
And daily learn, refreshed, restored,
That You are Lord of all,
And will not let us fall.
2 But if, forgetful, we should find
Your yoke is hard to bear;
If worldly pressures fray the mind,
And love itself cannot unwind
Its tangled skein of care:
Our inward life repair.
3 We marvel how Your saints become
In hindrances more sure;
Whose joyful virtues put to shame
The casual way we wear Your name,
And by our faults obscure
Your pow'r to cleanse and cure.
4 In what You give us, Lord, to do,
Together or alone,
In old routines or ventures new,
May we not cease to look to You,
The cross You hung upon--
All You endeavored done. Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30 Languages: English Tune Title: REPTON
How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord
Our God, You Called to Moses
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Songs of Grace #5 (2009) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Call/Vocation First Line: Our God, you called to Moses to set your people free Lyrics: Our God, you called to Moses to set your people free.
What wrongly some suppose is: He answered easily.
“I’m not the one you’re seeking!” he seemed instead to say.
“My strength is not in speaking; God, find another way!”
And yet, O Lord, you told him to trust in what you said.
Your strength would surely hold him through every day ahead.
Though many would oppose him, by your own name he’d know:
You were the one who chose him to help your people go.
You call each congregation to serve the lost and poor.
We doubt our own vocation; we ask, “Lord, are you sure?”
Yet you give gifts for sharing, you show us what to say.
Your Spirit gives us daring to serve Christ every day.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12 Languages: English Tune Title: LLANGLOFFAN

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Songs of Grace #41a (2009) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Call/Vocation First Line: There are many ways of sharing, But God's Spirit gives each one Lyrics: There are many ways of sharing, But God’s Spirit gives each one.
There are different ways of caring; It’s one Lord whose work is done.
God, whose gifts are overflowing, May we hear you when you call;
Keep us serving, keep us growing, For the common good of all.
We’ve been baptized in the waters! We’ve been given work to do.
When you call your sons and daughters, You give gifts for serving you.
God, we join in celebration Of the talents you impart.
Bless each baptized one’s vocation; Give each one a servant’s heart.
All are blest by gifts you give us; Some are set apart to lead.
Give us Jesus’ love within us As we care for those in need.
Give us faith to make decisions; Give us joy to share your Word.
Give us unity and vision As we serve your church and world.

O God, Our Creator, You Work Every Day
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Songs of Grace #62a (2009) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Call/Vocation Lyrics: O God, our Creator, you work every day:
A potter, you form us, your people, like clay.
A shepherd, you guide us and seek out the lost.
A parent, you love us, not counting the cost.
Christ Jesus, how rough were your hard-working hands!
You labored among us; our God understands!
Bless workers who struggle, their families to feed;
Bless those who face hardship, oppression, or greed.
Lord, some live among us who need constant care,
Whose work is to make us more humbly aware.
They teach us the best of your lessons, by far:
It’s not what we do, Lord, you love who we are!
We’re baptized! Your Spirit gives new work to do,
That we, through our serving, may glorify you.
Each person’s vocation, each calling, has worth
As you send us out to bring Christ’s love on earth.

Great God, Your Love Has Called Us
Author: Brian A. Wren, b. 1936 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #358 (2006) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Vocation, Ministry; Vocation, Ministry First Line: Great God, your love has called us here Lyrics: 1 Great God, your love has called us here,
as we, by love, for love were made.
Your living likeness still we bear,
though marred, dishonored, disobeyed.
We come, with all our heart and mind
your call to hear, your love to find.
2 We come with self-inflicted pains
of broken trust and chosen wrong,
half-free, half-bound by inner chains,
by social forces swept along,
by pow'rs and systems close confined,
yet seeking hope for humankind.
3 Great God, in Christ you call our name
and then receive us as your own,
not through some merit, right, or claim,
but by your gracious love alone.
We strain to glimpse your mercy seat
and find you kneeling at our feet.
4 Then take the towel, and break the bread,
and humble us, and call us friends.
Suffer and serve till all are fed,
and show how grandly love intends
to work till all creation sings,
to fill all worlds, to crown all things.
5 Great God, in Christ you set us free
your life to live, your joy to share.
Give us your Spirit's liberty
to turn from guilt and dull despair,
and offer all that faith can do
while love is making all things new. Languages: English Tune Title: RYBURN

Author: John Allan Warner, 1851-1928 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #410 (2010) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: General Hymns Christian Vocation and Witness Lyrics: 1 Brothers, joining hand to hand,
in one bond united,
pressing onward to that land
where all wrongs are righted:
let your words and actions be
worthy your vocation;
chosen of the Lord, and free,
heirs of Christ’s salvation.
2 Christ, the Way, the Truth, the Life,
Who hath gone before you
through the turmoil and the strife,
holds his banner o’er you;
all who see the sacred sign
press towards heaven's portal,
fired by hope that is divine,
love that is immortal.
3 They who follow fear no foe,
care not who assail them;
where the Master leads they go,
he will never fail them;
courage, brothers! We are one,
in the love that sought us;
soon the warfare shall be done,
through the grace he brought us. Scripture: John 14:6 Languages: English Tune Title: AVE VIRGO
