There's a Church within Us, O Lord
Author: Kent Schneider Hymnal: Hymns for the Living Church #208 (1974) Meter: Irregular Topics: The Church Faith and Worship Lyrics: 1 There's a church within us, O Lord;
There's a church within us, O Lord;
Not a building, but a soul,
Not a portion, but a whole;
There's a church within us, O Lord.
2 There's potential within us, O Lord;
Something stirring within us, O Lord;
Something straining to have birth,
To be visible on earth,
There's potential within us, O Lord.
3 There's a fire within us, O Lord;
A new life a-burning, O Lord;
A new fire for a life,
Combatting present strife,
There's a fire within us, O Lord.
4 There's some building to be done, O Lord;
There's some building to be done, O Lord;
Not with steel, not with stone,
But with lives which are Your own,
There's the church to be built, O Lord.
5 There's the church within us, O Lord;
There's the church within us, O Lord;
Not a building but one soul,
not a portion, but a whole,
We are Your church in the world.
Scripture: Jeremiah 20:9 Languages: English Tune Title: THE CHURCH WITHIN US

Lord of the Church, we humbly pray
Author: Edward Osler Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #210 (1917) Topics: The Church The Ministry Lyrics: 1 Lord of the Church, we humbly pray
For those who guide us in Thy way,
And speak Thy holy Word;
With love divine their hearts inspire,
And touch their lips with hallowed fire,
And needful strength afford.
2 Help them to preach the truth of God,
Redemption through the Saviour's Blood;
Nor let the Spirit cease
On all the Church His gifts to shower;
To them, a messenger of power,
To us, of life and peace.
3 So may they live to Thee alone,
Then hear the welcome word, "Well done!"
And take their crown above;
Enter into their Master's joy,
And all eternity employ
In praise, and bliss, and love.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: PURLEIGH

is Jesus Christ, her Lord;
she is his new creation
by water and the Word.
From heaven he came and sought her
to be his holy bride;
with his own blood he bought her,
and for her life he died.
2 Elect from every nation,
yet one o’er all the earth;
her charter of salvation:
one Lord, one faith, one birth.
One holy name she blesses,
partakes one holy food,
and to one hope she presses,
with every grace endued.
3 Though with a scornful wonder
the world sees her oppressed,
by schisms rent asunder,
by heresies distressed,
yet saints their watch are keeping;
their cry goes up: “How long?”
and soon the night of weeping
shall be the morn of song.
4 Mid toil and tribulation,
and tumult of her war,
she waits the consummation
of peace forevermore,
till with the vision glorious
her longing eyes are blest,
and the great church victorious
shall be the church at rest.
5 Yet she on earth has union
with God the Three in One,
and mystic sweet communion
with those whose rest is won:
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we,
like them, the meek and lowly,
may live eternally. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:11 Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA

And to his house we'll go.

Shall lighten ev'ry land;
The King who reigns in Salem's tow'rs
Shall all the world command.
4 Among the nations he shall judge;
His judgments truth shall guide;
His sceptre shall protect the just,
And quell the sinner's pride.
5 Come then, O house of Jacob, come
To worship at his shrine;
And, walking in the light of God,
With holy beauties shine.

The Church of God believes it right
Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs; suited to the various kinds of Christian worship; and especially designed for and adapted to the Fraternity of the Brethren... #299 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Church Feet Washing Lyrics: 1 The Church of God believes it right,
To think and do as Jesus bade,
When on that dark and doleful night
He gave His law, and plainly said:—
2 Mark the example which I give:
Keep it, and show your mutual love
My precepts do, and you shall live,
In bliss below, and heaven above.
3 Then, do we love our brethren now?
And are we bound in union sweet?
If so, like Jesus, let us bow,
And let us wash each other's feet.
4 Let no one be ashamed of this,—
Or, Peter-like, turn, and say, no;
But as we aim for heav'nly bliss,
We'll in our Master's footsteps go.
5 Now, Lord, we'll wash Thy people's feet,
And here enjoy their fond embrace;
Each with a kiss of friendship greet;
And hope in love to see thy face.
6 And then we'll feast on heav'nly love,
And find our joys to be complete:
Yes, then we'll sing thy praise above,
And bow, with angels, at thy feet, Scripture: John 13:15 Languages: English
