Lord, We Hear Your Word with Gladness
Author: Margaret Clarkson (1915-) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #447 (1998) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: Matthew 13:18-23 Lyrics: 1 Lord, we hear your word with gladness:
you have spoken– we rejoice:
words of love and life and freedom–
help us make their truth our choice!
Now in holy celebration
for your Word we worship you;
spoken, written, known in Jesus,
ours today to prove anew.
2 May we hear with understanding,
by your Spirit taught and led;
may the springs of all our being
by your living Word be fed;
may our hearts accept with meekness
all the grace your light makes known;
may obedience mark our footsteps
till we make each word our own!
3 You have spoken; yours the fullness,
ours the wealth of this your Word:
debtors, then as living letters,
we must make your gospel heard!
By your Spirit’s power transform us;
shed your saving light abroad
till our lives by love in action
show our world the truth of God! Topics: Call and Vocation; Jesus Christ the Word Languages: English Tune Title: BLAENWERN

Christ's Church Shall Glory in His Power
Author: Christopher Idle, b. 1938 Hymnal: Worship (3rd ed.) #616 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Scripture: Matthew 13 First Line: Christ's church shall glory in his pow'r Lyrics: 1 Christ’s church shall glory in his pow'r
And grow to his perfection;
He is our rock, our mighty tow'r
Our life, our resurrection:
So by his skillful hand
The church of Christ shall stand;
The master-builder's plan
He works, as he began,
And soon will crown with splendor.
2 Christ's people serve his wayward world
To whom he seems a stranger;
He knows its welcome from of old,
He shares our joy, our danger:
So strong, and yet so weak,
The church of Christ shall speak;
His cross our greatest need,
His word the vital seed
That brings a fruitful harvest.
3 Christ's living lamp shall brightly burn,
And to our earthly city
Forgotten beauty shall return,
And purity and pity:
To give the oppressed their right
The church of Christ shall fight;
And though the years seem long
He is our strength and song,
And he is our salvation.

Beyond the Beauty and the Awe
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Hymnal: Sing! A New Creation #75 (2002) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Matthew 13 Lyrics: 1 Beyond the beauty and the awe,
beyond the fear and dread,
we long, O God, to hear your word,
to taste your transformed bread.
2 Our lives feel torn between the world,
whose needs are grimly real,
and empty talk of peace and joy
with distant, vague appeal.
3 Oh, teach us how to hear your voice
despite the traffic’s din,
to keep the blasts of rancor out
and let your Spirit in.
4 In sound or silence, sight or smell,
may we some token find
that makes your living presence known
to body, soul, and mind.
5 Then help us live as Jesus taught,
as light and salt and yeast,
that others may be brought to share
your promise and your feast.

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Hymnal: Lutheran Service Book #584 (2006) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: Matthew 13:3-23 Lyrics: 1 Faith and truth and life bestowing,
Open now the Scriptures, Lord,
Seed to life eternal sowing,
Scattered on the wind abroad.
Let not hearts, Your Word receiving,
Like a barren field be found,
Choked with thorns and unbelieving,
Shallow earth or stony ground.
2 May the Spirit's pow'r unceasing
Bring to life the hidden grain,
Daily in our hearts increasing,
Bearing fruit that shall remain.
So in Scripture, song, and story,
Savior, may Your voice be heard.
Till our eyes behold Your glory
Give us ears to hear Your Word. Topics: The Word of God; Beginning of Service Languages: English Tune Title: HOLY MANNA
