In You Is Gladness
Author: Johann Lindemann; Catherine Winkworth Meter: Irregular Appears in 29 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1:21 Lyrics: 1 In you is gladness amid all sadness,
Jesus, sunshine of my heart.
By you are given the gifts of heaven;
you the true Redeemer are.
Our hearts you waken, we're not forsaken;
who trusts you surely has built securely
and stands forever: Alleluia!
Our hearts are pleading, your presence needing,
living or dying, on Christ relying
now and forever: Alleluia!
2 If he is ours, we fear no powers
not of sin or death or night.
He knows our troubles, our pain and struggles;
he upholds us by his might.
Wherefore the story tell of his glory
with heart and voices; all heaven rejoices
in him forever: Alleluia!
We shout for gladness away, all sadness!
love him and praise him, and still shall raise him
glad hymns forever: Alleluia!

In You Is Gladness
In God, My Faithful God
Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 6.6.7.7.7.7 Appears in 25 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1:21 Lyrics: 1 In God, my faithful God,
I trust when dark my road;
Great woes may overtake me,
Yet He will not forsake me.
My troubles He can alter;
His hand lets nothing falter.
2 My sins fill me with care,
Yet I will not despair.
I build on Christ, who loves me;
From this rock nothing moves me.
To Him I will surrender,
To Him, my soul's defender.
3 If death my portion be,
It brings great gain to me;
It speeds my life's endeavor
To live with Christ forever.
He gives me joy in sorrow,
Come death now or tomorrow.
4 O Jesus Christ, my Lord,
So meek in deed and word,
You suffered death to save us
Because Your love would have us
Be heirs of heav'nly gladness
When ends this life of sadness.
5 "So be it," then, I say
With all my heart each day.
Dear Lord, we all adore You,
We sing for joy before You.
Guide us while here we wander
Until we praise You yonder.

How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1:27-30 Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord,
when once we heed your call
to live according to your word
and daily learn, refreshed, restored,
that you are Lord of all
and will not let us fall.
2 But if, forgetful, we should find
your yoke is hard to bear;
if worldly pressures fray the mind
and love itself cannot unwind
its tangled skein of care:
our inward life repair.
3 We marvel how your saints became
in hindrances more sure:
whose joyful virtues put to shame
the casual way we wear your name,
and by our faults obscure
your power to cleanse and cure.
4 In what you give us, Lord, to do,
together or alone,
in old routines or ventures new,
may we not cease to look to you:
the cross you hung upon,
all you endeavored, done.

Oh, How Blest Are They
Author: Simon Dach, 1605-59; Henry W. Longfellow, 1807-92 Meter: 10.10.5.10 Appears in 17 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1:21 First Line: Oh, how blest are they whose toils are ended Lyrics: 1 Oh, how blest are they whose toils are ended,
Who through death have unto God ascended!
They have arisen
From the cares which keep us still in prison.
2 We are still as in a dungeon living,
Still oppressed with sorrow and misgiving;
Our undertakings
Are but toils and troubles and heartbreakings.
3 They meanwhile are in their chambers sleeping,
Quiet and set free from all our weeping;
No cross or sadness
There can hinder their untroubled gladness.
4 Christ has wiped away their tears forever;
They have that for which we still endeavor,
By them are chanted
Songs that ne'er to mortal ears were granted.
5 Come, 0 Christ, and loose the chains that bind us;
Lead us forth and cast this world behind us.
With You, the Anointed,
Finds the soul its joy and rest appointed.

Spirit of grace,
you dare to make us
to all our neighbours

treasured and fed,
may we discover
gifts in each other,
willing to lead and be led

help us to live
closer than neighbours,
open to strangers,
able to clash and forgive.
4 Glad of tradition,
help us to see
in all life's changing,
where you are leading,
where our best efforts should be.
5 Give, as we venture
justice and care
(peaceful, resisting,
waiting or risking)
wisdom to know when and where.

in different ways,
may all we're doing
show that you're living,
meeting your love with our praise. Topics: Commitment; Consecration; Discipleship; Gifts of the Holy Spirit; Ministry of God's People; People of God; Service; Social Justice; Unity of Humanity; Unity of the Church Used With Tune: WHITFIELD

How Blest Are They
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1:21 First Line: How blest are they who trust in Christ Lyrics: 1 How blest are they who trust in Christ
when we and those we love must part:
we yield them up, for go they must,
but do not lose them from our heart.
2 In ripened age, their harvest reaped,
or gone from us in youth or prime,
in Christ they have eternal life,
released from all the bonds of time.
3 In Christ, who tasted death for us,
we rise above our natural grief,
and witness to a stricken world
the strength and splendor of belief.
