Christ, you call us all to service
Author: Joy F. Patterson, 1931- Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: John 12:26 Lyrics: 1 Christ, you call us all to service,
call us all who follow you;
plant in us a deep commitment
all your work and will to do.
Fire a passion for your justice,
in us kindle love of peace;
help us heal the broken-hearted;
to the captive bring release.
2 Teach us how to work together,
brother, sister, side by side,
equal partners in the struggle,
in the cause of truth allied.
To each one some gift is given–
man or woman, young or old;
help us use each skill and talent,
your great purpose to unfold.
3 Let us be a servant people,
reconciling, ending strife,
seeking ways more just of sharing
and of ordering human life.
Fill us with a glowing vision
of this world as it should be;
send us forth to change that vision
into blest reality. Topics: Commitment; Jesus Christ Call of; Justice; Peace; Reconciliation; Renewal / Revival; Sacraments and Ordinances Ordination / Commissioning; Servant / Service; Sharing; Stewardship; Vision / Dream Used With Tune: IN BABILONE

Sing of Andrew, John's Disciple
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. (1944-) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: John 12:20-36 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
honour Christ in our own day,
bearing witness to our neighbours,
living what we sing and pray. Topics: Andrew Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH

When at This Table
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: John 12:26 First Line: When at this table I receive a blessing Lyrics: 1 When at this table I receive a blessing,
the broken bread, the wine of life for me,
then let me share the peace with you, my neighbor,
and let the Spirit set our spirits free.

unbidden grief, relationship gone wrong,
then let me know the hands of God enfolding,
and let lament become believing song.
3 If at this table I forget the hungry,
the dispossessed and warfare’s spreading stain,
then let this bread become the bread of judgment,
this wine the sharp awareness of that pain.
4 If at this table I make dedication
to give my life in serving what is good,
then let my center be where God invites me,
and show the words of Jesus understood.

what hope I hold, in Christ is taught and true;
with brothers, sisters, I will share the blessing,
the feast where God is making all things new. Topics: Dedication; Eucharist; Lord's Supper; Communion Used With Tune: FEASTDAY

Sing, My Tongue, the Ageless Story
Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: John 12:20-36 Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the ageless story
As the cross is lifted high!
Tell how Christ our Savior conquered,
When for us he came to die
As a victim in the battle,
Death's dominion to belie.
2 Adam tasted sin and sorrow,
Eating of the fearful tree;
All undoing our enchainment,
By the tree Christ sets us free,
Crushing hell's own tool of bondage
By his great humility.
3 Silence cloaked the earth and heavens
Round the hill of Calvary;
Nailed upon the tree of glory,
Christ endured his agony.
In his royal blood descending
Comes our peace, our liberty.
4 Cross triumphant! Cross transforming!
Ensign of humanity!
Faithful cross, above all others,
One and only noble tree:
Gracious wood and gracious iron,
Gracious burden borne on thee!
