Author: Edith Margaret Clarkson (b. 1915) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: John 20:31 Lyrics: 1 For your gift of God the Spirit,

pledge of life and hope of glory,
Saviour, we would worship you.

brooded o'er the pathless deep,

moves to wake our souls from sleep.

wakes to life the sacred word,
reads with us the Bible story
and reveals our risen Lord.

teaching rebel hearts to pray;
he whose fervent intercessions
rise for us both night and day.

God the Father, Spirit, Son;

may your perfect will be done. Topics: The Holy Spirit in the Church Illumination of God's Word; God In Creation; Prayer; Scripture Used With Tune: LAUS DEO (REDHEAD No. 46)

our loves and hopes, our failures and our fears;
eternal Lord, the King of all the ages,

O Christ the same, who wrought our whole salvation,
we bring our thanks for all our yesterdays.

our inmost thoughts, the secrets none can hide,
still as of old upon Your body bearing
the marks of love, in triumph glorified:
O Son of Man, who stooped for us from heaven,
O Prince of Life, in all Your saving power,
O Christ the same, to whom our hearts are given,
we bring our thanks for this the present hour.

our lives and loves, our days and years remain,
our work and rest, our waking and our sleeping,

we bring our thanks for all that is to be. Topics: Marriage; Children and All-Age Worship; Jesus Life and Ministry; Jesus Names and images for; New Year; Proper 17 Year C; Thanksgiving Used With Tune: LONDONDERRY AIR

Come, living God, when least expected
Author: Alan Gaunt (b. 1935) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: John 20:26-29 Lyrics: 1 Come, living God, when least expected,
when minds are dull and hearts are cold,
through sharpening word and warm affection
revealing truths as yet untold.
2 Break from the tomb in which we hide you
to speak again in startling ways;
break through the words in which we bind you
to resurrect our lifeless praise.
3 Come now, as once you came to Moses
within the bush alive with flame;
or to Elijah on the mountain,
by silence pressing home your claim.
4 So, let our minds be sharp to read you
in sight or sound or printed page,
and let us greet you in our neighbours,
in ardent youth or mellow age.
5 Then, through our gloom, your Son will meet us
as vivid truth and living Lord,
exploding doubt and disillusion
to scatter hope and joy abroad.
6 Then we will share his radiant brightness
and, blazing through the dread of night,
illuminate by love and reason,
for those in darkness, faith's delight. Topics: The Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit in the Church - Enlivening and Renewing the Church; God Presence of Used With Tune: SUNSET
Come, living God, when least expected
"As Surely as I Live," God Said
Author: Nicolaus Herman, c. 1480-1561; Matthias Loy, 1828-1915 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: John 20:21-23 Lyrics: 1 "As surely as I live," God said,
"I would not see the sinner dead.
I want him turned from error’s ways,
Repentant, living endless days."
2 And so our Lord gave this command:
"Go forth and preach in ev'ry land;
Bestow on all My pard'ning grace
Who will repent and mend their ways.
3 "All those whose sins you thus remit
I truly pardon and acquit,
And those whose sins you will retain
Condemned and guilty shall remain.
4 "What you will bind, that bound shall be;
What you will loose, that shall be free;
To My dear Church the keys are giv'n
To open, close the gates of heav'n."
5 The words which absolution give
Are His who died that we might live;
The minister whom Christ has sent
Is but His humble instrument.
6 When ministers lay on their hands,
Absolved by Christ the sinner stands;
He who by grace the Word believes
The purchase of His blood receives.
7 All praise to You, O Christ, shall be
For absolution full and free,
In which You show Your richest grace;
From false indulgence guard our race.
8 Praise God the Father and the Son
And Holy Spirit, Three in One,
As was, is now, and so shall be
World without end, eternally!

Awake, Arise, Lift Up Your Voice
Author: Christopher Smart (1722-1771) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: John 20:19-31 Lyrics: 1 Awake, arise, lift up your voice,
let Easter music swell;
rejoice in Christ, again rejoice,
and on his praises dwell.
2 Oh, with what gladness and surprise
the saints their Saviour greet;
nor will they trust their ears and eyes
but by his hands and feet:
3 those hands of liberal love indeed
in infinite degree,
those feet still free to move and bleed
for millions and for me.
4 His enemies had sealed the stone
as Pilate gave them leave,
lest dead and friendless and alone
he should their skill deceive.
5 O Dead arise! O Friendless stand
by seraphim adored!
O Solitude again command
your host from heaven restored! Topics: Easter (season); Easter (second Sunday) Used With Tune: RICHMOND
