Seek the Lord

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Presence (Holy Spirit) First Line: Seek the Lord who now is present Lyrics: 1 Seek the Lord who now is present, pray to One who is at hand. Let the wicked cease from sinning, evildoers change their mind. On the sinful God has pity; those returning God forgives. This is what the Lord is saying to a world that disbelieves. 2 “Judge me not by human standards! As the vault of heaven soars high above the earth, so higher are my thoughts and ways than yours. See how rain and snow from heaven make earth blossom and bear fruit, giving you, before returning, seed for sowing, bread to eat: 3 “So my Word returns not fruitless; does not from its labors cease till it has achieved my purpose in a world of joy and peace.” God is love! How close the prophet to that vital gospel word! In Isaiah’s inspiration it is Jesus we have heard! Scripture: Isaiah 55:6-11 Used With Tune: GENEVA

To my heart, O enter thou, let it be thy temple now! 3 Here thy praise is gladly chanted, here thy seed is duly sown; let my soul, where it is planted, bring forth precious sheaves alone, so that all I hear may be fruitful unto life in me. 4 Thou my faith increase and quicken, let me keep thy gift divine, howsoe'er temptations thicken; may thy Word still o'er me shine as my guiding star through life, as my comfort in my strife. 5 Speak, O God, and I will hear thee, let thy will be done indeed; may I undisturbed draw near thee while thou dost thy people feed. Here of life the fountain flows, here is balm for all our woes. Scripture: Psalm 27:4 Used With Tune: NEANDER

Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 77 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ: Presence Lyrics: 1 That Easter day with joy was bright, the sun shone out with fairer light, when, to their longing eyes restored, the glad apostles saw their Lord. 2 His risen flesh with radiance glowed; his wounded hands and feet he showed; those scars their solemn witness gave that Christ was risen from the grave. 3 O Jesus, strong in gentleness, come now yourself, our hearts possess, that we may give thee all our days the tribute of our grateful praise. 4 Come, risen Christ, with us abide in this our joyful Eastertide; your own redeemed forever shield from every weapon death can wield.

What a Friend We Have in Jesus

Author: Joseph M. Scriven Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,775 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Presence of Lyrics: 1 What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry ev’rything to God in prayer! Oh, what peace we often forfeit, oh, what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry ev’rything to God in prayer. 2 Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged— take it to the Lord in prayer! Can we find a friend so faithful, who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our ev’ry weakness— take it to the Lord in prayer! 3 Are we weak and heavy laden, ’cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our refuge, take it to the Lord in prayer! Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer! Jesus’ arms will take and shield thee— thou wilt find a solace there.

God Is Here!

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 49 hymnals Topics: God: Presence 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, fount, 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
