Bring forth in us the Spirit's gifts of patience, joy, and peace; deliver us from numbing fear, and grant our faith increase. 2 Unite in mutual ministry our minds and hands and hearts that we may have the grace to seek the power your peace imparts. So let our varied gifts combine to glorify your Name that in all things by word and deed we may your love proclaim. 3 Through tears and laughter, grief and joy, enlarge our trust and care; so bind us in community that we may risk and dare. Be with us when we gather here to worship, sing, and pray, then send us forth in power and faith to live the words we say. Used With Tune: NOEL

Faith Begins by Letting Go

Author: Carl P. Daw Jr, b. 1944 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: James 1:17 Lyrics: 1 Faith begins by letting go, giving up what had seemed sure, taking risks and pressing on, though the way feels less secure: pilgrimage both right and odd, trusting all our life to God. 2 Faith endures by holding on, keeping memory’s roots alive so that hope may bear its fruit; promise fed, our souls will thrive, not through merit we possess but by God’s great faithfulness. 3 Faith matures by reaching out, stretching minds, enlarging hearts, sharing struggles, living prayer, binding up the broken parts; till we find the commonplace ripe with witness to God’s grace.

From God above, the God of heav'n

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: James 1:16-21 Lyrics: 1 From God above, the God of heav'n, Is ev'ry gift bestow'd; And all we need from him is giv'n, Salvation, Life and food. 2 The God our Father, and our Light, He changes never more; Whose ways are holy, just and right, Whose promises are sure. 3 His spirit and the Gospel word Creates the mind anew; The Saviour's image is restor'd! His mercies brought to view. 4 And thus renew'd and born again: And made the heirs of grace; Such will for ever more abstain: From sin and sinners ways. 5 And swift to hear, and slow to speak: Not subject unto wrath; Are they who keep their souls awake, By constant pray'r and faith. 6 Lord may it be my chief concern, To live as Christians ought; And may I ever live and learn The lessons I am taught.

Not only hearers of the word

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: James 1:22-27 Lyrics: 1 Not only hearers of the word Can e'er be pleasing to the Lord! But such who seek and strive to do: All things as well as they do know. 2 How greatly doth that man deceive: Himself who may suppose or b'lieve-- To be an heir of saving grace Whilst Christian duties he delays. 3 Just like a simple man that would, His visage in a glass behold! But soon his visage is for got, As tho' he had beheld it not. 4 Sure, such religion all is vain, Whilst man to sin, a slave remain-- That soul in grace can ne'er succeed That will not serve the Lord indeed. 5 But bless'd and happy is the man, Who searches well the Gospel plan? That perfect law of liberty That sets the soul from vices free. Topics: Fifth Sunday after Easter

Children of God, reach out to one another!

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: James 1:16-27 Lyrics: 1 Children of God, reach out to one another! Where pity dwells, the peace of God is there; to worship rightly is to love each other, each smile a hymn, each kindly deed a prayer. 2 For he whom Jesus loved has truly spoken: the holier worship which God deigns to bless restores the lost, and binds the spirit broken, and feeds the widow and the fatherless. 3 Follow with reverent steps the great example of him whose holy work was doing good; so shall the wide earth seem our Father's temple, each loving life a psalm of gratitude. 4 Then shall all shackles fall; the stormy clangour of wild war music o'er the earth shall cease; love shall tread out the baleful fire of anger, and in its ashes plant the tree of peace.
