God Is Here

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 47 hymnals Topics: Church Ecumenism First Line: God is here! As we you people Lyrics: 1 God is here! As we your 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 the 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! Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH

Son of God, Eternal Savior

Author: Somerset Corry Lowry Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 63 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Ecumenism Lyrics: 1 Son of God, eternal Savior, Source of life and truth and grace, Son of Man, whose birth incarnate Hallows all our human race; You our Head, who, throned in glory, For your own do ever plead, Fill us with your love and pity, Heal our wrongs, and help our need. 2 Lord, as you have lived for others, So may we for others live; Freely have your gifts been granted, Freely may your servants give. Yours the gold and yours the silver, Yours the wealth of land and sea, We, the stewards of your bounty, Faithful to our trust should be. 3 Come, O Christ, and reign among us, King of love and Prince of Peace; Hush the storm of strife and passion, Bid its cruel discords cease. By your patient years of toiling, By your silent hours of pain, Quench our fevered thirst of pleasure, Shame our selfish greed of gain. 4 See the Christ-like host advancing, High and lowly, great and small, Linked in bonds of common service For the common Lord of all. As you prayed and as you labored That your people should be one, Grant, O grant our hope’s fruition: Here on earth your will be done. Amen. Scripture: Titus 2:13-14 Used With Tune: IN BABILONE
