Lord, You Give the Great Commission

Author: Jeffery W. Rowthorn Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 44 hymnals Topics: Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 Lord, you give the great commission: "Heal the sick and preach the word." Lest the church neglect its mission and the gospel go unheard, help us witness to your purpose with renewed integrity: with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us for the work of ministry. 2 Lord, you call us to your service: "In my name baptize and teach." That the world may trust your promise, life abundant meant for each, give us all new fervour, draw us closer in community: with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us for the work of ministry. 3 Lord, you make the common holy: "This my body, this my blood." Let us all, for earth's true glory, daily lift life heavenward, asking that the world around us share your children's liberty: with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us for the work of ministry. 4 Lord, you show us love's true measure: "Father, what they do, forgive." Yet we hoard as private treasure all that you so freely give. May your care and mercy lead us to a just society: with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us for the work of ministry. 5 Lord, you bless with words assuring: "I am with you to the end." Faith and hope and love restoring, may we serve as you intend, and, amid the cares that claim us, hold in mind eternity: with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us for the work of ministry.
