reigning omnipotent in every place:
so come, O King, and our whole being sway;
shine on us with the light of thy pure day.
3 Thou art the life by which alone we live
and all our substance and our strength receive;
comfort us by thy faith and by thy power,
nor daunt our hearts when comes the trying hour.

thou hast no harshness and no bitterness:
make us to taste the sweet grace found in thee
and ever stay in thy sweet unity.

our faith is built upon thy promise free;
come, give us peace, make us so strong and sure,
that we may conquerors be and ills endure. Used With Tune: TOULON

Great God, Your Love Has Called Us Here
Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 42:9 Lyrics: 1 Great God, your love has called us here,
as we, by love, for love were made.
Your living likeness still we bear,
though marred, dishonored, disobeyed.
We come, with all our heart and mind
your call to hear, your love to find.
2 We come with self-inflicted pains
of broken trust and chosen wrong,
half-free, half-bound by inner chains,
by social forces swept along,
by powers and systems close confined,
yet seeking hope for humankind.
3 Great God, in Christ you call our name
and then receive us as your own,
not through some merit, right or claim,
but by your gracious love alone.
We strain to glimpse your mercy seat
and find you kneeling at our feet.
4 Then take the towel, and break the bread,
and humble us, and call us friends.
Suffer and serve till all are fed,
and show how grandly love intends
to work till all creation sings,
to fill all worlds, to crown all things.
5 Great God, in Christ you set us free
your life to live, your joy to share.
Give us your Spirit's liberty
to turn from guilt and dull despair
and offer all that faith can do
while love is making all things new. Used With Tune: ABINGDON

Prepare the Way, O Zion!
Author: Franz Mikael Franzèn; Augustus Nelson Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.6.6 Appears in 30 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 42:1-2 Refrain First Line: O blest is He that came Lyrics: 1 Prepare the way, O Zion!
Ye awful deeps, rise high;
Sink low, ye tow'ring mountains,
The Lord is drawing nigh;
The righteous King of glory,
Foretold in sacred story.
Refrain:
O blest is He that came
In God the Father’s Name.
2 O Zion, He approacheth,
Thy Lord and King for aye!
Strew palms where He advanceth,
Spread garments in His way.
God’s promise faileth never,
Hosanna sound forever! [Refrain]
3 Fling wide thy portals, Zion,
And hail thy glorious King;
His tidings of salvation
To every people bring,
Who, waiting yet in sadness,
Would sing His praise in gladness. [Refrain]
4 He cometh not with warriors,
And not with pomp and show,
Yet smiteth He with terror
Sin, death, and every foe.
The Spirit’s sword He wieldeth,
Not e’en to death He yieldeth. [Refrain]
5 Give heed, thou sinful people,
Thy King and Saviour own;
The kingdom He hath founded
Is not an earthly one;
No power can overthrow it,
Nor earthly wisdom know it. [Refrain]
6 The throne which He ascendeth
Is fixed in heaven above:
His sanctified dominion
Is light alone and love.
His praise be ever sounding
For grace and peace abounding. [Refrain]
7 Jerusalem is fallen,
And closed its temple-door;
Its sacrifices ended;
Its scepter is no more.
Christ’s kingdom never ceaseth,
Its glory still increaseth. [Refrain]

Elect
Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 29 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 42:1-4 First Line: Jesus, we bless thy Father's name Lyrics: 1 Jesus, we bless thy Father's name;
Thy God and our's are both the same;
What heav'nly blessings from his throne
Flow down to sinners thro' his Son!
2 Christ be my first Elect, he said,
Then chose our souls in Christ our head,
Before he gave the mountains birth,
Or laid foundations for the earth.
3 Thus did eternal love begin
To raise us up from death and sin;
Our characters were then decreed,
Blameless in love, a holy seed:
4 Predestinated to be sons,
Born by degrees, but chose at once;
A new regenerated race,
To praise the glory of his grace.
5 With Christ, our Lord, we share our part,
In the affections of his heart;
Nor shall our souls be thence remov'd,
'Till He forgets his first belov'd.
Elect
