Dear Lord and Father of Mankind
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Hymnal: The Worshipbook #350 (1972) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Topics: Service for the Lord's Day After Creed Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
Forgive our foolish ways;
Reclothe us in our rightful mind,
In purer lives thy service find,
In deeper reverence, praise.
2 In simple trust like theirs who heard,
Beside the Syrian sea,
The gracious calling of the Lord,
Let us, like them, without a word
Rise up and follow thee.
3 O Sabbath rest by Galilee!
O calm of hills above,
Where Jesus knelt to share with thee
The silence of eternity,
Interpreted by love!
4 Drop thy still dews of quietness,
Till all our strivings cease;
Take from our souls the strain and stress,
And let our ordered lives confess
The beauty of thy peace.
5 Breathe through the heats of our desire
Thy coolness and thy balm;
Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
Speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still, small voice of calm!
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 4:18-22 Tune Title: REST

Descend, O Spirit, Purging Flame
O Love, how deep, how broad, how high!
Author: Benjamin Webb (1819-1885) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #354 (2005) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Creed Lyrics: 1 O Love, how deep, how broad, how high!
Surpassing thought and fantasy
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals' sake.
2 For us baptized, for us he bore
his holy fast, and hungered sore;
for us temptations sharp he knew;
for us the tempter overthrew.
3 For us he prayed, for us he taught,
for us the lost with love he sought,
by words, and signs, and actions, he
brought health and hope to set us free.
4 For us to wicked men betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in crown of thorns arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death;
for us at length gave up his breath.
5 For us he rose from death again,
for us he went on high to reign,
for us he sent his Spirit here
to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.
6 To him whose boundless love has won
salvation for us through his Son,
to God the Father, glory be
both now and through eternity. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:24 Languages: English Tune Title: EISENACH (LEIPZIG)
O Love, how deep, how broad, how high!
O Love, how deep, how broad, how high!

Eternal God, Whose Power Upholds
Author: Henry Hallam Tweedy Hymnal: The Worshipbook #357 (1972) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Service for the Lord's Day After Creed Lyrics: 1 Eternal God, whose power upholds
Both flower and flaming star,
To whom there is no here nor there,
No time, no near nor far,
No alien race, no foreign shore,
No child unsought, unknown:
O send us forth, your prophets true,
To make all lands your own!
2 O God of truth, whom science seeks
And reverent souls adore,
Illumine every earnest mind
Of every clime and shore:
Dispel the gloom of error's night,
Of ignorance and fear,
Until true wisdom from above
Shall make life's pathway clear!
3 O God of beauty, oft revealed
In dreams of human art,
In speech that flows to melody,
In holiness of heart:
Teach us to ban all ugliness,
And all disharmony,
Till all shall know the loveliness
Of lives made fair and free!
4 O God of righteousness and grace,
Seen in the Christ, your Son,
Whose life and death reveal your face,
By whom your will was done;
Help us to spread your gracious reign
Till greed and hate shall cease,
And kindness dwell in human hearts,
And all the earth find peace!
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 54:4 Tune Title: FOREST GREEN
Eternal God, Whose Power Upholds
