my hands, my feet, I show to thee;
not faithless, but believing be."
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
3 No longer Thomas then denied;
he saw the feet, the hands, the side;
"Thou art my Lord and God," he cried.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
4 How blest are they who have not seen,
and yet whose faith has constant been,
for they eternal life shall win.

Lord of the church, we pray for our renewing
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (born 1926) Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: Pentecost 2 The People of God; Pentecost 2 The Church's Unity and Fellowship Lyrics: 1 Lord of the church, we pray for our renewing:
Christ over all, our undivided aim.
Fire of the Spirit, burn for our enduring,
wind of the Spirit, fan the living flame!
We turn to Christ amid our fear and failing,
the will that lacks the courage to be free,
the weary labours, all but unavailing,
to bring us nearer what a church should be.
2 Lord of the church, we seek a Father's blessing,
a true repentance and a faith restored,
a swift obedience and a new possessing,
filled with the Holy Spirit of the Lord!
We turn to Christ from all our restless striving,
unnumbered voices with a single prayer —
the living water for our souls' reviving,
in Christ to live, and love and serve and care.
3 Lord of the church, we long for our uniting,
true to one calling, by one vision stirred;
one cross proclaiming and one creed reciting,
one in the truth of Jesus and his word!
So lead us on; till toil and trouble ended,
one church triumphant one new song shall sing,
to praise his glory, risen and ascended,
Christ over all, the everlasting king! Used With Tune: LONDONDERRY AIR

earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away.
Change and decay in all around I see -
you never change, O Lord: abide with me!
3 I need your presence every passing hour:
what but your grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like yourself my guide and strength can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me!
4 I have no fear with you at hand to bless;
ills have no weight and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, your victory?
I triumph still if you abide with me.
5 Hold now your Word before my closing eyes;
shine through the gloom and point me to the skies!
Heaven's morning breaks and earth's vain shadows flee:
in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me! Scripture: Luke 24:29 Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

or they will claim the victory
who long to see me fall.

how you have dealt with me. Scripture: Psalm 13 Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM
