Your Work, O God, Needs Many Hands
O God, Defender of the Poor
Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Elements of Worship Offering Our Prayers Lyrics: 1 O God, defender of the poor,
have mercy when I pray:
you listened to my prayer before–
LORD, hear my prayer today.
2 How long will people choose vain things,
love empty words and wrong?
They scorn to serve the King of kings–
O living God, how long?
3 The saints, O LORD, you set apart
by grace to be your own:
let sinners tremble, search their hearts,
and bow before your throne.
4 While many pray that you will bless
and bring them all they need,
unless they long for holiness,
their prayers are vain in deed.
5 Your light, O LORD, let us receive;
your face within us shine,
for richer is the joy you give
than all their grain and wine.
6 And even when I turn to sleep
your blessings still increase,
for you alone, O LORD, will keep
your child in perfect peace.

God Is Here!
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 49 hymnals Topics: Offering First Line: God is here! As we your 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!
Scripture: Isaiah 42:1 Used With Tune: ABBOT’S LEIGH

Gracious God, My Heart Renew
Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Elements of Worship Offering; Offering of Sacrifice Lyrics: 1 Gracious God, my heart renew,
make my spirit right and true;
in your presence let me stay,
by your Spirit show the way;
your salvation's joy impart,
steadfast make my willing heart.
2 So shall sinners be restored
and return to you, their Lord;
Savior, all my guilt remove,
and my tongue shall sing your love;
touch my silent lips, O Lord,
and my mouth shall praise accord.
3 Not the formal sacrifice
has acceptance in your eyes;
broken hearts are in your sight
more than sacrificial rite;
contrite spirit, pleading cries,
you, O God, will not despise.
4 Prosper Zion in thy grace
and her broken walls replace:
then our righteous sacrifice
shall delight your holy eyes;
freewill offerings, gladly made,
on your altar shall be laid. Scripture: Psalm 51 Used With Tune: REDHEAD 76 Text Sources: Psalter, 1912, alt.
