Glorious things of thee are spoken
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: Common Praise #435a (2000) 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 may'st 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, if 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 worldling's pleasure,
all his boasted pomp and show;
solid joys and lasting treasure,
none but Zion's children know. Topics: Lent III Year A; Proper 9 Year B; Second Sunday Before Advent Year B Scripture: 1 John 2:17 Languages: English Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH

Lord, You Give the Great Commission
Author: Jeffery Rowthorn, b. 1934 Hymnal: Journeysongs (2nd ed.) #452 (2003) 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 empow'r 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 fervor, draw us
Closer in community:
With the Spirit's gifts empow'r 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 empow'r 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 empow'r 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 empow'r us
For the work of ministry.

Mighty God Who Called Creation
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Hymnal: One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism #458 (2018) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Mighty God who called creation
From the unformed womb of space,
Newborn worlds of gleaming glory,
Fresh with hope and ripe with grace:
Speak again with pow'r and promise
When the storms of fear increase;
To our chaos and confusion
Let Your light and truth bring peace.
2 As we worship, may Your Spirit
Breathe through us the pow'r of prayer,
Words of life for daily living,
Strength to do and faith to dare.
Come, enflame us, Holy Spirit,
Like the Church at Pentecost;
Help us bear the light of blessing
To the least, the last, the lost.
3 Rooted in the love of Jesus,
Nourished by His flesh and blood,
May we prove a fruitful vineyard
Joined in mutual servanthood.
Work through us, O risen Savior,
To reap peace from fields of strife;
Bring our barren wastes to blossom;
Lead us out of death to life.
4 Keep us faithful, joyful, loving,
Filled with hope through grief and pain,
Knowing that the One who made us
Has redeemed and will sustain:
Triune God, of boundless glory,
Yet in human form made known,
Raise us up to be a people
Called by love to be Your own. Topics: The Gospel in the Christian Life Christian Life, Discipleship; Commitment/Dedication; Discipleship; God Hand/work in nature, world, universe; Holy Spirit Renewal; Service Scripture: Genesis 1, 2:1-4 Languages: English Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH

God Is Here!
Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: The Presbyterian Hymnal #461 (1990) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D 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!

God Is Here!
God Is Love, Let Heav'n Adore Him
Author: Timothy Rees, 1874-1939 Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #463 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 God is love, let heaven adore him;
God is love, let earth rejoice;
let creation sing before him
and exalt him with one voice.
God who laid the earth's foundation,
God who spread the heav'ns above,
God who breathes through all creation:
God is love, eternal love.
2 God is love; and love enfolds us,
all the world in one embrace;
with unfailing grasp God holds us,
ev'ry child of ev'ry race.
And when human hearts are breaking
under sorrow's iron rod,
then we find that selfsame aching
deep within the heart of God.
3 God is love; and though with blindness
sin afflicts all human life,
God's eternal loving-kindness
guides us through our earthly strife.
Sin and death and hell shall never
o'er us final triumph gain:
God is love, so love forever
o'er the universe must reign. Topics: Father and Creator; God; God--Goodness of; God--Love of; Grief and sorrow; Sin Scripture: 1 John 4:7-21 Languages: English Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH
