by the Galilean lake,
turned from home and work and kindred,
leaving all for Jesus' sake.

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,
Jesus calls, in cares and pleasures,
"Christian, love me more than these."
5 Jesus calls us by your mercies,
Saviour, may we hear your call,
give our hearts in glad obedience,
serve and love you best of all. Scripture: Matthew 4:18-22 Used With Tune: GALILEE

Come and Find the Quiet Center
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Life of Discipleship Prayer and Guidance; God's Church Life of Discipleship: Prayer and Guidance Lyrics: 1 Come and find the quiet center
in the crowded life we lead,
find the room for hope to enter,
find the frame where we are freed:
clear the chaos and the clutter,
clear our eyes, that we can see
all the things that really matter,
be at peace, and simply be.
2 Silence is a friend who claims us,
cools the heat and slows the pace,
God it is who speaks and names us,
knows our being, touches base,
making space within our thinking,
lifting shades to show the sun,
raising courage when we're shrinking,
finding scope for faith begun.
3 In the Spirit let us travel,
open to each other's pain,
let our loves and fears unravel,
celebrate the space we gain:
there's a place for deepest dreaming,
there's a time for heart to care,
in the Spirit's lively scheming
there is always room to spare! Used With Tune: BEACH SPRING

My Lord and Master, Thou hast won
My heart to serve Thee solely!
Thou art holy,
Fair and glorious, all victorious,
Rich in blessing,
Rule and might o'er all possessing.
2 Thou heavenly Brightness! Light divine!
O deep within my heart now shine,
And make Thee there an altar!
Fill me with joy and strength to be
Thy member, ever joined to Thee
In love that cannot falter;
Toward Thee longing
Doth possess me; turn and bless me;
Here in sadness
Eye and heart long for Thy gladness!
Amen. Used With Tune: FRANKFORT

When Our Confidence Is Shaken
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Life of Discipleship Faith and Hope; God's Church Life of Discipleship: Faith and Hope Lyrics: 1 When our confidence is shaken
in beliefs we thought secure,
when the spirit in its sickness
seeks but cannot find a cure,
God is active in the tensions
of a faith not yet mature.
2 Solar systems, void of meaning,
freeze the spirit into stone;
always our researches lead us
to the ultimate unknown.
Faith must die, or come full circle
to its source in God alone.
3 In the discipline of praying,
when it's hardest to believe;
in the drudgery of caring,
when it's not enough to grieve;
faith, maturing, learns acceptance
of the insights we receive.
4 God is love, and thus redeems us
in the Christ we crucify;
this is God's eternal answer
to the world's eternal why.
May we in this faith maturing
be content to live and die! Used With Tune: LAUDA ANIMA
