Lord, you give the great commission

Author: Jeffery Rowthorn (b. 1934) Hymnal: WLP1997 #780 (1997) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH Refrain First Line: With the Spirit's gifts empower us Lyrics: 1 Lord, you give the great commission: “Heal the sick and preach the word.” Lest the church neglect its mission, and the gospel go unheard, help us witness to your purpose with renewed integrity. Refrain: With the Spirit’s gifts empower us for the work of ministry. 2 Lord, you call us to your service: “In my name baptize and teach.” That the world may trust your promise, life abundant meant for each, give us all new fervor, draw us closer in community. [Refrain] 3 Lord, you make the common holy: “This my body, this my blood.” Let us all, for earth’s true glory, daily lift life heavenward, asking that the world around us share your children’s liberty. [Refrain] 4 Lord, you show us love’s true measure: “Father, what they do, forgive.” Yet we hoard as private treasure all that you so freely give. May your care and mercy lead us to a just society. [Refrain] 5 Lord, you bless with words assuring: “I am with you to the end.” Faith and hope and love restoring, may we serve as you intend and, amid the cares that claim us, hold in mind eternity.

Gracious Spirit, give your servants

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. (b. 1944) Hymnal: WLP1997 #782 (1997) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH Lyrics: 1 Gracious Spirit, give your servants joy to set sin’s captives free, hope to heal the brokenhearted, peace to share love’s liberty. Through us bring your balm of gladness to the wounded and oppressed; help us claim and show God’s favor as a people called and blessed. 2 Word made flesh, who gave up glory to become our great high priest, taking on our human nature to redeem the last and least: let your courage and compassion shape and guide our ministries; as our Savior and our Shepherd, lead us to the truth that frees. 3 Loving God, who birthed creation from the nothingness of space, kindling life where all was empty, turning chaos into grace: when we feel confused and fruitless, dawn upon our restless night; give us faith’s imagination, hope’s renewing, love’s delight. 4 Triune God, eternal Being, never ending, unbegun, boundless grace and perfect justice, righteous and forgiving One: so enfold us in your mercy that our wills and yours unite; through us may the world behold you, find your love, your truth, your light.

As newborn stars were stirred to song

Author: Carl P. Daw Jr. (b. 1944) Hymnal: WLP1997 #788 (1997) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Tune Title: ALEXANDRA Lyrics: 1 As newborn stars were stirred to song when all things came to be, as Miriam and Moses sang when Israel was set free, so music bursts unbidden forth when God-filled hearts rejoice, to waken awe and gratitude and give mute faith a voice. 2 In psalms that raise the singer’s sense to universal truths, in prophet’s dark-toned oracle or hymn of three brave youths: the song of faith and praise endured through those God called to be a chosen people bearing light for all the world to see. 3 When God’s redeeming Word took flesh to make salvation sure, unheeding hearts attuned to strife refused love’s overture. Yet to the end the song went on: a supper’s parting hymn, a psalm intoned on dying lips when sun and hope grew dim. 4 But silence won no vict’ry there; a rest was all it scored before glad alleluias rose to greet the risen Lord. The church still keeps that song alive, for death has lost its sting, and with the gift of life renewed the heart will ever sing.
