Lord, You Give the Great Commission
Glorious things of thee are spoken
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: The Hymnal 1982 #523 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
he whose word cannot be broken
formed thee for his own abode;
on the Rock of Ages founded,
what can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
thou may'st smile at all thy foes.
2 See! the streams of living waters,
springing from eternal love,
well supply thy sons and daughters
and all fear of want remove.
Who can faint, when such a river
ever will their thirst assuage?
Grace which, like the Lord, the giver,
never fails from age to age.
3 Round each habitation hovering,
see the cloud and fire appear
for a glory and a covering,
showing that the Lord is near.
Thus deriving from their banner,
light by night, and shade by day,
safe they feed upon the manna
which he gives them when they pray.
4 Blest inhabitants of Zion,
washed in the Redeemer's blood!
Jesus, whom their souls rely on,
makes them kings and priests to God.
'Tis his love his people raises
over self to reign as kings:
and as priests, his solemn praises
each for a thank-offering brings.

God Is Here!
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #526 (2006) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: God is here! As we your people Lyrics: 1 God is here! As we your people
meet to offer praise and prayer,
may we find in fuller measure
what it is in Christ we share.
Here, as in the world around us,
all our varied skills and arts
wait the coming of the Spirit
into open minds and hearts.
2 Here are symbols to remind us
of our lifelong need of grace;
here are table, font, and pulpit;
here the cross has central place.
Here in honesty of preaching,
here in silence, as in speech,
here, in newness and renewal,
God the Spirit comes to each.
3 Here our children find a welcome
in the Shepherd's flock and fold;
here as bread and wine are taken,
Christ sustains us as of old.
Here the servants of the Servant
seek in worship to explore
what it means in daily living
to believe and to adore.
4 Lord of all, of church and kingdom,
in an age of change and doubt,
keep us faithful to the gospel;
help us work your purpose out.
Here, in this day's dedication,
all we have to give, receive;
we, who cannot live without you,
we adore you! We believe!

You who know the Lord is gracious
Through the Darkness of the Ages
Author: Hilary Jolly, 1945- Hymnal: Worship and Rejoice #536 (2003) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Through the darkness of the ages,
through the sorrows of the days,
strength of weary generations,
lifting hearts in hope and praise,
light in darkness, joy in sorrow,
presence to allay all fears,
Jesus, you have kept your promise,
faithful through two thousand years.
2 Bounty of two thousand harvests,
beauty of two thousand springs;
He who framed the times and seasons
has vouchsafed us greater things.
Word of God who spoke creation
speaks forgiveness, speaks to save,
gathers still his ransomed people
in the life he freely gave.
3 Countless flowers have bloomed and withered,
countless noons are sealed in night,
shattered thrones and fallen empires,
realms and riches lost from sight.
Christ, your kingdom still increases
as the centuries unfold.
Grain that fell to earth and perished
has brought forth ten thousand-fold.
4 Master, we shall sing your praises,
man of sorrows, God of power,
for the measured march of seasons
shall at last bring in the hour
when, as lightning leaps the heavens,
you return to lead us home.
You have promised, "I am coming."
Swiftly, our Lord Jesus, come. Scripture: Revelation 22:20 Languages: English Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH

God Is Love! The Heavens Are Telling
Author: Timothy Rees, 1874-1939 Hymnal: Catholic Book of Worship III #560 (1994) First Line: God is love! The heav'ns are telling Lyrics: 1 God is love! The heav'ns are telling.
God is love, let earth rejoice;
All creation singing, praising
And exalting with one voice.
God who laid the earth's foundation;
God who spread the heavens above;
God who breathes through all creation:
God is love, eternal love.
2 God is love, and love enfolds us,
All the world in one embrace:
With unfailing grasp God holds us,
Ev'ry child of ev'ry race.
And when human hearts are breaking
Under sorrow's iron rod,
Then they find that selfsame aching
Deep within the heart of God.
3 God is love! With mercy boundless
God sustains all human life.
God's eternal loving kindness
Guides us through our earthly strife.
Sin and death and hell shall never
O'er us final triumph gain.
God is love, so love for ever
O'er the universe must reign. Topics: Comfort/Consolation; God's Presence; God's providence; God's Reign; Guide; Mercy of God; Praise Scripture: 1 John 4:8 Languages: English Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH
