Jesus, You Once Called Disciples

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Songs of Grace #14 (2009) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: Jesus, you once called disciples, choosing twelve to follow you Lyrics: Jesus, you once called disciples, choosing twelve to follow you: Simon (also known as Peter), Andrew and Bartholomew, Philip, Thomas, James, and Matthew, Simon, Thaddaeus, John, and James– Then there was the one called Judas. These were your disciples' names. Women, too, were your disciples, sitting, learning, at your feet. Mary knew your word was precious, even more than food to eat. Martha trusted in your power when her brother Laz'rus died. Women shared your journey, Lord, and stayed when you were crucified. Lord, so many heard and followed, like the woman at the well. Meeting you, the living water, she sought others she could tell. Like the boy with loaves and fishes, like Zacchaeus in the tree, Many gladly heard your message; many shared your ministry. Jesus, still you call your people, "Come and follow me today!" Some, like Paul, feel sudden wonder; some are brought up in your way. Lord, no matter how we meet you, by your Spirit, make us new. May we know your living presence; may we daily follow you. Topics: Call/Vocation; Jesus Christ Ministry Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:5 Languages: English Tune Title: IN BABILONE

Where is Bread?

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Songs of Grace #22b (2009) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: "Where is bread?" the great crowd murmured-- Lyrics: “Where is bread?” the great crowd murmured— Thousands strong, yet all in need. “Where is bread?” your people wondered, Faced with such a crowd to feed. Who, Lord Jesus, could have guessed it? One small boy brought food to share. Taking what he gave, you blessed it; All were fed, with much to spare. Where is bread? We know their yearning; Every day, we wish for more. God, in time, we’re slowly learning: All we own can make us poor. Our possessions can possess us, Leaving hunger deep inside. Christ our Bread, come now and bless us; At your feast, we’re satisfied. “Where is bread?” the call is rising; Millions cry who must be fed. God, your answer seems surprising: “You, my Church, you give them bread.” Bread to fill each hungry spirit, Bread for hungry stomachs, too! Give us bread and help us share it. Richly blest, may we serve you. Topics: Eucharist/Lord's Supper; Jesus Christ; Justice Scripture: John 6:1-15 Languages: English Tune Title: IN BABILONE

There's a Wideness in God's mercy

Author: Frederick William Faber Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #23 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy, like the wideness of the sea; there's a kindness in God's justice, which is more than liberty. There is no place where earthly sorrows are more felt than in God's heaven; there's no place where earthly failings have such kindly judgment given. 2 For the love of God is broader than the measures of our minds; and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more faithful, we would gladly trust God's Word, and our lives would show thanksgiving for the goodness of our God.

Sing of Andrew, John's Disciple

Author: Carl P. Daw Jr. Hymnal: Hymns and Devotions for Daily Worship #52 (2024) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1. Sing of Andrew, John's disciple, Led by faith through ways untrod, Till the Baptist cried at Jordan, "There behold the Lamb of God!" Stirred by hearing this new teacher, Andrew, freed from doubt and fear, Ran to tell his brother Simon, "God's Anointed One is here!" 2. Sing of Andrew, called by Jesus From the shores of Galilee, Leaving boats and nets and kindred, Trusting in that "Follow me." When a lad's small meal fed thousands, When inquiring Greeks found care, When the Spirit came in blessing, Andrew faithfully was there. 3. Sing of Andrew, bold apostle, Sent to make the gospel known, Faithful to his Lord's example, Called to make a cross his own. So may we who prize his memory Honor Christ in our own day, Bearing witness to our neighbors, Living what we sing and pray.
