God is here! As we his people

Author: Fred Pratt Green (1903-2000) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #445 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Change Lyrics: 1 God is here! As we his people meet to offer praise and prayer, may we find in fuller measure what it is in Christ we share. Here, as in the world around us, all our varied skills and arts wait the coming of his Spirit into open minds and hearts. 2 Here are symbols to remind us of our lifelong need of grace; here are table, font and pulpit; here the cross has central place. Here in honesty of preaching, here in silence, as in speech, here, in newness and renewal, God the Spirit comes to each. 3 Here our children find a welcome in the Shepherd's flock and fold, here, as bread and wine are taken, Christ sustains us as of old. Here the servants of the Servant seek in worship to explore what it means in daily living to believe and to adore. 4 Lord of all, of Church and Kingdom, in an age of change and doubt, keep us faithful to the gospel, help us work your purpose out. Here, in this day's dedication, all we have to give, receive: we, who cannot live without you, we adore you! We believe! Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:27-31 Languages: English Tune Title: EVERTON

Change and decay in all around I see. O thou who changest not, abide with me. 3 I need thy presence every passing hour. What but thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me. 4 I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless, ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if thou abide with me. 5 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes. Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies. Heaven's morning breaks and earth's vain shadows flee; in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Scripture: Job 14:1 Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE

All my hope on God is founded

Me through change and chance he guideth, only good and only true.

But God's power, hour by hour, is my temple and my tower. 3 God's great goodness aye endureth, deep his wisdom, passing thought: splendour, light, and life attend him, beauty springeth out of naught. Evermore from his store new-born worlds rise and adore. 4 Daily doth th' Almighty giver bounteous gifts on us bestow; his desire our soul delighteth, pleasure leads us where we go. Love doth stand at his hand; joy doth wait on his command. 5 Still from earth to God eternal sacrifice of praise be done, high above all praises praising for the gift of Christ his Son. Christ doth call one and all: ye who follow shall not fall. Scripture: Daniel 4:28-32 Languages: English Tune Title: MICHAEL

A race on earth, a race we run

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #147 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Change and progression Lyrics: A race on earth, a race we run, And bold a prize in view, More bright than if we chased the sun Through heaven's eternal blue. 151 Changes we prove, and vanish soon,-- Changes from youth to age,-- Transient as those that shape the moon On her brief pilgrimage. Like constellations on their way, That meet the morning light, We travel up to higher day, We pass through deeper night. Their tasks the heavenly hosts fulfil, Ere long to shine their last; We, if we do our Father's will, Shall shine when they are past. Knit like the social stars in love, Fair as the moon, and clear As yonder sun, enthroned above, Christians through life appear, Languages: English
