O for a World
Jesus calls us: o'er the tumult
Author: Mrs. Cecil Frances Alexander, 1823-1895 Appears in 955 hymnals Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Evangelism Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us: o'er the tumult
Of our life's wild, restless sea,
Day by day His sweet voice soundeth,
Saying, "Christian, follow Me."
2 As of old Apostles heard it
By the Galilean lake,
Turned from home, and toil, and kindred,
Leaving all for His dear sake.
3 Jesus calls us from the worship
Of the vain world's golden store,
From each idol that would keep us,
Saying, "Christian, love Me more!"
4 In our joys and in our sorrows,
Days of toil and hours of ease,
Still He calls, in cares and pleasures,
"Christian, love Me more than these!"
5 Jesus calls us: by Thy mercies,
Saviour, may we hear Thy call,
Give our hearts to Thy obedience,
Service and love Thee best of all. Used With Tune: GALILEE

The Kingdom of God
Author: Gracia Grindal Meter: 7.6.7.6.8.5 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Kingdom of God First Line: The kingdom of God is like Refrain First Line: It is like the kingdom of God Lyrics: 1 The kingdom of God is like a grain of mustard seed.
When it is sown in the earth, it is the smallest seed.
[Refrain:]
It is like the kingdom of God and a mystery.
2 For when it is sown, it grows into the largest plant,
greater than all of the herbs, and grows into a tree. (Refrain)
3 It grows so birds can rest inside its crown of leaves,
deep in its shadows, away from any evil prey. (Refrain)
4 And so we can liken it to seeds which make a tree
larger than all of the trees from just the smallest seed. (Refrain)

God of Grace and God of Glory
Author: Harry Emerson Fosdick Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 157 hymnals Topics: Kingdom of God Lyrics: 1 God of grace and God of glory,
On thy people pour thy power;
Crown thine ancient church's story;
Bring her bud to glorious flower.
Grant us wisdom,
Grant us courage,
For the facing of this hour,
For the facing of this hour.
2 Lo! the hosts of evil round us
Scorn thy Christ, assail his ways!
Fears and doubts too long have bound us,
Free our hearts to faith and praise.
Grant us wisdom,
Grant us courage,
For the living of these days,
For the living of these days.
3 Cure thy children's warring madness;
Bend our pride to thy control;
Shame our wanton, selfish gladness,
Rich in things and poor in soul.
Grant us wisdom,
Grant us courage,
Lest we miss thy kingdom's goal,
Lest we miss thy kingdom's goal.
4 Set our feet on lofty places;
Gird our lives that they may be
Armored with all Christ-like graces
In the fight to set us free.
Grant us wisdom,
Grant us courage,
That we fail not man nor thee!
That we fail not man nor thee!
5 Save us from weak resignation
To the evils we deplore:
Let the search for thy salvation
Be our glory evermore.
Grant us wisdom,
Grant us courage,
Serving thee whom we adore,
Serving thee whom we adore. Used With Tune: CWM RHONDDA Text Sources: Praise and Service, 1932
God of Grace and God of Glory
Master, no offering
Author: Rev. Edwin P. Parker Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.4 Appears in 120 hymnals Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Brotherhood Lyrics: 1 Master, no offering
Costly and sweet,
May we, like Magdalene,
Lay at Thy feet;
Yet may love's incense rise,
Sweeter than sacrifice,
Dear Lord, to Thee,
Dear Lord, to Thee.
2 Daily our lives would show
Weakness made strong,
Toilsome and gloomy ways
Brightened with song;
Some deeds of kindness done,
Some souls by patience won,
Dear Lord, to Thee,
Dear Lord, to Thee.
3 Some word of hope for hearts
Burdened with fears,
Some balm of peace for eyes
Blinded with tears,
Some dews of mercy shed,
Some wayward footsteps led,
Dear Lord, to Thee,
Dear Lord, to Thee.
4 Thus, in Thy service, Lord,
Till eventide
Closes the day of life,
May we abide!
And when earth's labors cease,
Bid us depart in peace,
Dear Lord, to Thee,
Dear Lord, to Thee.
Amen. Used With Tune: LOVE'S OFFERING

And answering island sing
The praises of Thy royal name,
And own Thee as their King.

To the bright world above,
Break forth in sweetest strains of joy,
In memory of Thy love.

The air, the earth, the sea,
In unison with human hearts,
And calls aloud for Thee.

Of grace and peace divine;
Be Thine the crown of glory now,
The palm of victory Thine! Used With Tune: MANOAH
