How can I repay the Lord
Author: Helen L. Wright, 1927- Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: Our Love to God Lyrics: Response 2:
How can I repay the Lord,
for all his benefits to me?
1 I love the Lord who has heard my prayer,
who bends down to hear my call
The cords of death entangled me:
the grip of the grave took hold of me.
2 Then I called on the name of the Lord,
"I beg you, save my soul!"
Our Lord is gracious and just,
our God is merciful. [Response]
3 How can I repay the Lord
for the goodness done for me?
The cup of salvation I raise,
and call on the name of the Lord.
4 To the Lord I will pay my vows
before all the people.
How precious the death of the saints,
those who remain faithful to God! [Response]
5 Lord God, I am your slave
the child of a faithful mother.
You have loosed my bonds,
you have set me free. [Response]
6 A sacrifice of thanks I bring
and call on your name.
To the Lord I will pay my vows
before all the people. [Response]
7 I will pay my vows to the Lord
in the courts of God!
In the midst of Jerusalem.
Alleluia! [Response] Used With Tune: PSALM 116

God! When human bonds are broken
Author: Frederik Herman Kaan, 1929- Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Our Love to God Lyrics: 1 God! When human bonds are broken
and we lack the love or skill
to restore the hope of healing,
give us grace and make us still.
2 Through that stillness, with your Spirit
come into our world of stress,
for the sake of Christ forgiving;
all the failures we confess.
3 You in us are bruised and broken:
hear us as we seek release
from the pain of earlier living;
set us free and grant us peace.
4 Send us, God of new beginnings,
humbly hopeful into life.
Use us as a means of blessing:
make us stronger, give us faith.
5 Give us faith to be more faithful,
give us hope to be more true,
give us love to go on learning:
God! Encourage and renew! Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:8-13 Used With Tune: MEADWAY

Psalm 34 (A Responsorial Setting)
Great God, your love has called us here
Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Our Response to Christ In Penitence; Our Response to God in the worship of God's house; Christ Incarnate Passion and Death; Lent; Christian Year Maundy Thursday; Church Worship; God Love of; Renewal Lyrics: 1 Great God, your love has called us here
as we, by love, for love were made.
Your living likeness still we bear,
though marred, dishonoured, disobeyed.
We come, with all our heart and mind
your call to hear, your love to find.
2 We come with self-inflicted pains
of broken trust and chosen wrong,
half-free, half-bound by inner chains,
by social forces swept along,
by powers and systems close confined,
yet seeking hope for humankind.
3 Great God, in Christ you call our name
and then receive us as your own,
not through some merit, right or claim,
but by your gracious love alone.
We strain to glimpse your mercy seat
and find you kneeling at our feet.
4 Then take the towel, and break the bread,
and humble us, and call us friends.
Suffer and serve till all are fed,
and show how grandly love intends
to work till all creation sings,
to fill all worlds, to crown all things.
5 Great God, in Christ you set us free
your life to live, your joy to share.
Give us your Spirit's liberty
to turn from guilt and dull despair
and offer all that faith can do
while love is making all things new. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:17 Used With Tune: MELITA
Great God, your love has called us here

whose depth unfathomed, no one knows,
I see from far thy beauteous light,
inly I sigh for thy repose;
my heart is pained, nor can it be
at rest till it finds rest in thee.
2 Thy secret voice invites me still
the sweetness of thy yoke to prove;
and fain I would; but, though my will
seem fixed, yet wide my passions rove;
yet hindrances strew all the way;
I aim at thee, yet from thee stray.
3 'Tis mercy all, that thou hast brought
my mind to seek its peace in thee;
yet, while I seek but find thee not,
no peace my wandering soul shall see.
Oh, when shall all my wanderings end,
and all my steps to thee-ward tend?
4 Is there a thing beneath the sun
that strives with thee my heart to share?
Ah! tear it thence, and reign alone,
the Lord of every motion there;
then shall my heart from earth be free,
when it hath found repose in thee. Scripture: 1 John 5:21 Used With Tune: ST. PETERSBURG

like the wideness of the sea;
there’s a kindness in his justice,

are more felt than in God's heaven:
there is no place where earth's failings
have such kindly judgment given.
3 For the love of God is broader
than the measure of the mind;
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind.
4 If our love were but more faithful,
we should take him at his word;
and our life be filled with glory
from the glory of the Lord. Scripture: 1 John 4:16 Used With Tune: ALL FOR JESUS
