Thank you, Lord, for ones who teach us what has brought them to this place! May their faith-filled witness reach us; may we glimpse in them your grace. Strong in you, their strength uplifts us from our birth until life’s end; Spirit-filled, they give us gifts, as prophet, mentor, guide and friend. Christ our Lord, you walk beside us, giving daily work to do; Years go by and still you guide us as we seek to follow you. If our sight fails, weak hands tremble, minds forget the things we’ve known, Lord, we trust that you’ll remember, hold us close, and see us home. Used With Tune: IN BABILONE

Venu nun, animo mia

Author: J. Franck; M. C. Butler Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Voko al adoro (Call to worship) Lyrics: Venu nun, animo mia, Ĝoja pro la beno Dia, Kun laŭdkanto en la koro Al la domo de l' Sinjoro: Kaj en ĝia sankta paco Petu por la Dia graco; Universon li regadas, Al vi tmen sin klinadas. Ni al vi, ĉiela Reĝo, Venas kun humila preĝo, Viajn farojn pripensante, Timrespekte meditante. Vin ĉirkaŭas misteraĵoj, Nesondeblaj profundaĵoj, Fonto vi de ĉia scio, De eterne sola Dio. Suno, forpelanta timojn, Lumiganta homanimojn, Radianta puran ĝojon, Brilu nun sur nian vojon. Ni vin preĝas el la koro, Uzu nin por via gloro; Nutru via patra mano Per ĉiela viva pano.

Cleansed

Author: F. E. B. Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Call Accepted; Invitation and Repentance Call Accepted First Line: Cast out the buyers, Lord Lyrics: 1 Cast out the buyers, Lord, The sellers bid depart; Cleanse me from carnal thought and word, And purify my heart. A temple would I be, Meet for the royal Son: Ye money-changers, fear and flee Before the Sinless One. 2 The love of self o'erthrow; The love of God bring in, That ministers to all below, God's remedy for sin. Rise up! thou Living Word, Thine arm of strength lay bare, That naught in me henceforth be heard But voice of praise and pray'r. 3 When thus this robber's home Becomes a house of pray'r, Do Thou with all thy power come, And dwell forever there, The hopeless ones to cheer, And broken hearts make whole; In me do thou alone appear To ev'ry sin-sick soul.
