When the Church of Jesus

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: James 1:27 Lyrics: 1 When the church of Jesus shuts its outer door, lest the roar of traffic drown the voice of prayer: may our prayers, Lord, make us ten times more aware that the world we banish is our Christian care. 2 If our hearts are lifted where devotion soars high above this hungry, suffering world of ours: lest our hymns should drug us to forget its needs, forge our Christian worship into Christian deeds. 3 Lest the gifts we offer, money, talents, time, serve to salve our conscience, to our secret shame: Lord, reprove, inspire us by the way you give; teach us, dying Savior, how true Christians live.

How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: James 1:2-4 Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord, when once we heed your call: to live according to your word, and daily learn, refreshed, restored, that you are Lord of all and will not let us fall. 2 But if, forgetful, we should find your yoke is hard to bear, if worldly pressures fray the mind and love itself cannot unwind its tangled skein of care: our inward life repair. 3 We mark your saints, how they became in hindrances more sure, whose joyful virtues put to shame the casual way we wear your name, and by our faults obscure your pow'r to cleanse and cure. 4 In what you give us, Lord, to do, together or alone, in old routines or ventures new, may we not cease to look to you - the cross you hung upon - all you endeavored done.

Amen. Used With Tune: O QUANTA QUALIA
