Hark, the voice of Jesus calling
Author: Dr. D. March, 1816- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #400 (1917) Topics: Consecration Of Self; Call To Service; The Church and the Kingdom of God Social Service; Decision Call to ; Self-Dedication ; Service Of Christ; Master's Call Lyrics: 1 Hark, the voice of Jesus calling,
"Who will go and work to-day?
Fields are white, and harvests waiting,
Who will bear the sheaves away?"
Loud and long the Master calleth,
Rich reward He offers free;
Who will answer, gladly saying,
"Here am I, O Lord, send me"?
2 If you cannot cross the ocean,
And the heathen lands explore,
You can find the heathen nearer,
You can help them at your door;
If you cannot give your thousands,
You can give the widow's mite,
And the least you give for Jesus
Will be precious in His sight.
3 If you cannot be the watchman
Standing high on Zion's wall,
Pointing out the path to heaven,
Offering life and peace to all,
With your prayers and with your bounties
You can do what Heaven demands;
You can be like faithful Aaron
Holding up the prophet's hands.
4 Let none hear you idly saying,
"There is nothing I can do,"
While the souls of men are dying,
And the Master calls for you;
Take the task He gives you gladly;
Let His work your pleasure be;
Answer quickly when He calleth,
"Here am I, O Lord, send me." Languages: English Tune Title: LUX EOI

God Is Here!
Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Glory to God #409 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Children; The Church; Community in Christ; Dedication; Gathering; Lord's Supper; Offering; The Triune God; Vocation; Will of God 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, font, 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!
Scripture: Isaiah 42:1 Languages: English Tune Title: ABBOT’S LEIGH
God Is Here!
Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken
Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Hymnbook #434 (1955) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Dedication Services Of a Church Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
He whose word cannot be broken
Formed thee for His own abode:
On the Rock of Ages founded,
What can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
Thou mayst smile at all thy foes.
2 See, the streams of living waters,
Springing from eternal Love,
Well supply thy sons and daughters,
And all fear of want remove:
Who can faint, while such a river
Ever flows their thirst to assuage;
Grace, which, like the Lord the Giver,
Never fails from age to age?
3 Round each habitation hovering,
See the cloud and fire appear
For a glory and a covering,
Showing that the Lord is near:
Thus deriving from their banner
Light by night and shade by day,
Safe they feed upon the manna
Which He gives them when they pray.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 87:3 Tune Title: AUSTRIAN HYMN

One working band, one harvest song,
One King omnipotent!

From man's primeval youth;
How grandly hath thine empire grown
Of freedom, love, and truth!

With never-fainting ray!
How rise thy towers, serene and bright,
To meet the dawning day!

In vain, the drifting sands:
Unharmed upon th' eternal rock
Th' eternal city stands.

With joy and praise to worship there.

To pay their vows, His grace to own,
For there is judgment's royal seat,
Messiah's sure and lasting throne.

May all that love thee prosper well;
Within thy walls let peace abide,
And gladness with they children dwell.

And for the house of God, the Lord,
My loving care shall never cease.

Hymnal: The Hymnbook #440 (1955) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Dedication Services Of a Church Lyrics: 1 How dear to me, O Lord of Hosts,
The place where Thou dost dwell;

Thy sacred courts to see;
My thirsting heart and flesh cry out,
O living God, for Thee.
3 Beneath Thy care the sparrow finds
A place of peaceful rest;
Where she may safely lay her young
The swallow finds a nest;
4 Then, Lord of Hosts, my King, my God,
Thy love will shelter me;
Beneath Thy altar's peaceful shade
My dwelling place shall be.
5 Blest they who dwell within Thy house,
Their perfect strength Thou art;
Their joyful praise shall never cease,
Thy ways are in their heart.
6 Their tears of grief, like early rain,
Sweet springs of joy shall fill;
With strength renewed they journey safe
To Zion's holy hill.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 84 Tune Title: IRISH
