For the fruits of his creation
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #712 (2010) Meter: 8.4.8.4.8.8.8.4 Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Harvest Lyrics: 1 For the fruits of his creation,
thanks be to God;
for his gifts to every nation,
thanks be to God;
for the ploughing, sowing, reaping,
silent growth while we are sleeping,
future needs in earth’s safekeeping,
thanks be to God.
2 In the just reward of labour,
God’s will is done;
in the help we give our neighbour,
God’s will is done;
in our world-wide task of caring
for the hungry and despairing,
in the harvests we are sharing,
God’s will is done.
3 For the harvests of his Spirit,
thanks be to God;
for the good we all inherit,
thanks be to God;
for the wonders that astound us,
for the truths that still confound us,
most of all, that love has found us,
thanks be to God. Languages: English Tune Title: EAST ACKLAM

for the love that crowns our days!
Bounteous source of every joy,
let thy praise our tongues employ:
2 for the blessings of the fields,
for the stores the gardens yield,
flocks that whiten all the plain,
yellow sheaves of ripened grain;
3 all that spring with bounteous hand
scatters o'er the smiling land;
all that liberal autumn pours
from her rich o'erflowing stores.
4 These to thee, my God, we owe,
source whence all our blessings flow;
and for these our souls shall raise
grateful vows and solemn praise. Languages: English Tune Title: CULBACH (ACH WANN)

Lord of the worlds above
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #735 (2010) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Dedication Festival Lyrics: 1 Lord of the worlds above
how pleasant and how fair
the dwellings of thy love,
thy earthly temples, are!
To thine abode
my heart aspires,
with warm desires
to see my God.
2 O happy souls that pray
where God appoints to hear!
O happy men that pay
their constant service there!
They praise thee still;
and happy they
that love the way
to Zion's hill.
3 They go from strength to strength
through this dark vale of tears,
till each arrives at length,
till each in heaven appears:
O glorious seat!
When God our King
shall thither bring
our willing feet. Scripture: Psalm 84 Languages: English Tune Title: CROFT'S 136TH
Lord of the worlds above
Our Father, by whose servants
Author: George Wallace Briggs, 1875-1959 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #739 (2010) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Dedication Festival Lyrics: 1 Our Father, by whose servants
our house was built of old,
whose hand hath crowned her children
with blessing manifold,
for thine unfailing mercies
far strewn along our way,
with all who passed before us,
we praise thy name today.
2 The changeful years unresting
their silent course have sped,
new comrades ever bringing
in comrades’ steps to tread;
and some are long forgotten,
long spent their hopes and fears;
safe rest they in thy keeping,
who changest not with years.
3 They reap not where they laboured;
we reap what they have sown;
our harvest may be garnered
by ages yet unknown.
The days of old have dowered us
with gifts beyond all praise;
our Father, make us faithful
to serve the coming days. Languages: English Tune Title: WOLVERCOTE
Our Father, by whose servants
And now, O Father, mindful of the love
Author: William Bright, 1824-1901 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #571 (2010) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Holy Communion Lyrics: 1 And now, O Father, mindful of the love
that bought us, once for all, on Calvary's tree,
and having with us him that pleads above,
we here present, we here spread forth to thee
that only offering perfect in thine eyes,
the one true, pure, immortal sacrifice.
2 Look, Father, look on his anointed face,
and only look on us as found in him;
look not on our misusings of thy grace,
our prayer so languid, and our faith so dim:
for lo! Between our sins and their reward
we set the passion of thy Son our Lord.
3 And then for those, our dearest and our best,
by this prevailing presence we appeal;
O fold them closer to thy mercy's breast,
O do thine utmost for their souls' true weal;
from tainting mischief keep them white and clear,
and crown thy gifts with strength to persevere.
4 And so we come; O draw us to thy feet,
most patient Saviour, who canst love us still;
and by this food, so awful and so sweet,
deliver us from every touch of ill:
in thine own service make us glad and free,
and grant us never more to part with thee. Languages: English Tune Title: UNDE ET MEMORES
And now, O Father, mindful of the love
Be still, my soul! For God is near!
Author: William Dalrymple MacLagan, 1826-1910 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #572 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Holy Communion Lyrics: 1 Be still, my soul! For God is near!
The great High Priest is with thee now;
the Lord of Life himself is near,
before whose face the angels bow.
2 To make thy heart his lowly throne
thy Saviour God in love draws nigh;
he gives himself unto his own,
for whom he once came down to die.
3 He pleads before the mercy-seat;
he pleads with God; he pleads for thee;
he gives thee bread from heaven to eat,
his flesh and blood in mystery.
4 I come, O Lord! For thou dost call –
to blend my pleading prayer with thine;
to thee I give myself – my all,
and feed on thee and make thee mine. Languages: English Tune Title: MONTGOMERY
Be still, my soul! For God is near!
By Christ redeemed, in Christ restored
Author: George Rawson, 1807-1889 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #576 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.4 Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Holy Communion Lyrics: 1 By Christ redeemed, in Christ restored,
we keep the memory adored,
and show the death of our dear Lord
until he come.
2 His body, broken in our stead,
is here in this memorial bread,
and so our feeble love is fed
until he come.
3 The drops of his dread agony,
his life-blood shed for us, we see;
the wine shall tell the mystery
until he come.
4 And thus that dark betrayal night
with the last advent we unite,
by one blest chain of loving rite,
until he come.
5 O blessèd hope! With this elate,
let not our hearts be desolate,
but, strong in faith, in patience wait
until he come. Languages: English Tune Title: ALMSGIVING
By Christ redeemed, in Christ restored
Christ is the heavenly food that gives
Author: Timothy Rees, 1874-1939 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #577 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Holy Communion Lyrics: 1 Christ is the heavenly food that gives
to every famished soul
new life and strength, new joy and hope,
and faith to make them whole.
2 We all are made for God alone,
without him we are dead;
no food suffices for the soul
but Christ, the living bread.
3 Christ is the unity that binds,
in one the near and far;
for we who share his life divine
his living body are:
4 On earth and in the realms beyond
one fellowship are we;
and at his altar we are knit
in mystic unity. Languages: English Tune Title: JACKSON (BYZANTIUM)
Christ is the heavenly food that gives
