Now Let Us from This Table Rise

Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 42 hymnals Topics: Nurture Lyrics: 1 Now let us from this table rise renewed in body, mind and soul; with Christ we die and live again, his selfless love has made us whole. 2 With minds alert, upheld by grace, to spread the word in speech and deed, we follow in the steps of Christ, at one with all in hope and need. 3 To fill each human house with love, it is the sacrament of care; the work that Christ began to do we humbly pledge ourselves to share. 4 Then give us grace, Companion-God, to choose again the pilgrim way and help us to accept with joy the challenge of tomorrow's day.

Heart with Loving Heart United

Author: Nicholas Ludwig von Zinzendorf; Walter Klaassen Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Christian nurture Lyrics: 1 Heart with loving heart united, met to know God's holy will. Let his love in us ignited more and more our spirits fill. He the Head, we are his members; we reflect the light he is. He the Master, we disciples, he is ours and we are his. 2 May we all so love each other and all selfish claims deny, so that each one for the other will not hesitate to die. Even so our Lord has loved us; for our lives he gave his life. Still he grieves and still he suffers, for our selfishness and strife. 3 Since, O Lord, you have demanded that our lives your love should show so we wait to be commanded forth into your world to go. Kindle is us love's compassion so that ev'ryone may see in our faith and hope the promise of a new humanity. Scripture: John 13:35 Used With Tune: CASSEL
