As We Gather at Your Table

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b.1944 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Eucharist Sacraments Lyrics: 1 As we gather at your Table, As we listen to your Word, Help us know, O God, your presence: Let our hearts and minds be stirred. Nourish us with sacred story Till we claim it as our own; Teach us through this holy banquet How to make Love’s vict'ry known. 2 Turn our worship into witness In the sacrament of life; Send us forth to love and serve you, Bringing peace where there is strife. Give us, Christ, your great compassion To forgive as you forgave; May we still behold your image In the world you died to save. 3 Gracious Spirit, help us summon Other guests to share that feast Where triumphant Love will welcome Those who had been last and least. There no more will envy blind us Nor will pride our peace destroy, As we join with saints and angels To repeat the sounding joy. Scripture: Matthew 22:1-14 Used With Tune: HOLY MANNA

Sowing or tilling, we would work with thee; harvesting, milling for daily bread. 3 Father, providing food for thy children, thy wisdom guiding teaches us share one with another, so that rejoicing with us, our brother may know thy care. 4 Then will thy blessing reach every people; freely confessing thy gracious hand. Where thy will reigneth no one will hunger; thy love sustaineth; fruitful the land. Used With Tune: BUNESSAN

I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above

Author: Cecil Spring-Rice, 1859-1918 Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions National Lyrics: 1 I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above, entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love: the love that asks no question, the love that stands the test, that lays upon the altar the dearest and the best; the love that never falters, the love that pays the price, the love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice. 2 And there's another country I've heard of long ago, most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know; we may not count her armies, we may not see her King; her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering; and soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase, and her ways are ways of gentleness and all her paths are peace.
