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!

How long shall evils tear my heart and troubles fill my day? 2 Look on my need, O Lord my God, who grants my every breath; give light that I may see your light, nor sleep the sleep of death. 3 Look on their threats and hear my cry, and answer when I call: or they will claim the victory who long to see me fall. 4 Lord, in your mercy is my trust; I shall be glad and free: then shall I sing with all my heart how you have dealt with me.

God is here! As we his people

Author: F. Pratt Green (born 1903) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 49 hymnals Topics: Pentecost 2 The Church's Unity and Fellowship Lyrics: 1 God is here! As we his 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 his 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 celebration, all we have to give, receive: we who cannot live without you, we adore you! we believe!
