Lift the strain of high thanksgiving!
Author: J. Ellerton Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #299b (1898) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Lift the strain of high thanksgiving!
Tread with songs the hallowed way!
Praise our father's God, for mercies
New to us their sons to-day;
Here they built for Him a dwelling,
Served Him here in ages past,
Fixed it for His sure possession,
Holy ground, while time shall last.
2 When the years had wrought their changes,
He, our own unchanging God,
Thought on this His habitation,
Looked on His decayed abode;
Heard our prayers, and helped our counsels,
Blessed the silver and the gold,
Till once more His house is standing,
Firm and stately as of old.
3 Entering then Thy gates with praises,
Lord, be ours Thine Israel's prayer:
"Rise into Thy place of resting,
Show Thy promised presence there!"
Let the gracious word be spoken
Here, as once on Sion's height,
"This shall be my rest forever,
This My dwelling of delight."
4 Fill this latter house with glory
Greater than the former knew;
Clothe with righteousness Thy priesthood,
Guide us all to reverence true;
Let Thy Holy One's anointing
Here its sevenfold blessing shed;
Spread for us the heavenly banquet,
Satisfy Thy poor with bread.
5 Praise to Thee, almighty Father,
Praise to Thee, eternal Son,
Praise to Thee, all-quickening Spirit,
Ever blessèd Three in One:
Threefold Power and Grace and Wisdom,
Molding out of sinful clay,
Living stones for that true temple,
Which shall never know decay.
Amen.

Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken
Glorious things of thee are spoken
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #310 (2010) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D 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 mayest 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 they march, the pillar leading,
light by night and shade by day;
daily on the manna feeding
which he gives them when they pray.
4 Saviour, since of Zion's city
I, through grace, a member am,
let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in thy name.
Fading is the world's best pleasure,
all its boasted pomp and show;
solid joys and lasting treasure
none but Zion's children know. Topics: General Hymns Church/Fellowship/Mission Scripture: Psalm 46:4 Languages: English Tune Title: AUSTRIA

Lord, you give the great commission
Author: Jeffery W. Rowthorn, 1954- Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #332 (2010) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Lord, you give the great commission:
'Heal the sick and preach the word.'
Lest the church neglect its mission,
and the Gospel go unheard,
help us witness to your purpose
with renewed integrity:
with the Spirit’s gifts empower us
for the work of ministry.
2 Lord, you call us to your service:
'In my name, baptize and teach.'
That the world may trust your promise,
life abundant meant for each,
give us all new fervour, draw us
closer in community:
with the Spirit’s gifts empower us
for the work of ministry.
3 Lord, you make the common holy:
'This my body, this my blood.'
Let us all, for earth’s true glory,
daily lift life heavenward,
asking that the world around us
share your children’s liberty:
with the Spirit’s gifts empower us
for the work of ministry.
4 Lord, you show us love’s true measure:
'Father, what they do, forgive.'
Yet we hoard as private treasure
all that you so freely give.
May your care and mercy lead us
to a just society:
with the Spirit’s gifts empower us
for the work of ministry.
5 Lord, you bless with words assuring:
'I am with you to the end.'
Faith and hope and love restoring,
may we serve as you intend,
and, amid the cares that claim us,
hold in mind eternity:
with the Spirit’s gifts empower us
for the work of ministry. Topics: General Hymns Church/Fellowship/Mission Scripture: Matthew 28:19 Languages: English Tune Title: AUSTRIA
Lord, you give the great commission
