How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord,
when once we heed your call
to live according to your word
and daily learn, refreshed, restored,
that you are Lord of all
and will not let us fall.
2 But if, forgetful, we should find
your yoke is hard to bear;
if worldly pressures fray the mind
and love itself cannot unwind
its tangled skein of care:
our inward life repair.
3 We marvel how your saints become
in hindrances more sure;
whose joyful virtues put to shame
the casual way we wear your name,
and by our faults obscure
your pow'r to cleanse and cure.
4 In what you give us, Lord, to do,
together or alone,
in old routines or ventures new,
may we not cease to look to you,
the cross you hung upon,
all you endeavored done. Topics: Saints Days; Vocation, Ministry; Cross-bearing; Saints Days; Sending; Vocation, Ministry Used With Tune: REPTON

but wholly lean on Jesus' name.

On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;

I rest on his unchanging grace;
in ev'ry high and stormy gale
my anchor holds within the veil. [Refrain]
3 His oath, his covenant, his blood
sustain me in the raging flood;
when all supports are washed away,
he then is all my hope and stay. [Refrain]

oh, may I then in him be found,
clothed in his righteousness alone,
redeemed to stand before the throne! [Refrain] Topics: Grace, Faith; Atonement; Grace, Faith; Trust, Guidance Used With Tune: MELITA

the heav'nly guest is at the door.
He comes to earthly dwellings still
with new year gifts of peace, good will.
2 This world, though wide and far outspread,
could scarcely find for you a bed.
Your cradle was a manger stall,
no pearl nor silk nor kingly hall.
3 Now let us go with quiet mind,
the swaddled babe with shepherds find,
to gaze on him who gladdens them,
the loveliest flow'r of Jesse's stem.
4 Oh, join with me, in gladness sing,
to keep our Christmas with our king,
until our song, from loving souls,
like rushing mighty water rolls!
5 O patriarchs' Joy, O prophets' Song,
O Dayspring bright, awaited long,
O Son of Man, incarnate Word,
great David's Son, great David's Lord:!
6 Come, Jesus, glorious heav'nly guest,
and keep your Christmas in our breast;
then David's harp-string, hushed so long,
shall swell our jubilee of song. Topics: Christmas; Christmas Used With Tune: DET KIMER NU TIL JULEFEST

sent him to die, I scarce can take it in,

and take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
and there proclaim, "My God, how great thou art!" [Refrain]

Abide with Me

The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
help of the helpless, oh, abide with me.
2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
change and decay in all around I see;
O thou who changest not, abide with me.
3 I need thy presence ev'ry passing hour;
what but thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r?
Who like thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me.
4 I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless;
ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if thou abide with me!
5 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes,
shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies;
heav'n's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Topics: Hope, Assurance; Evening; Hope, Assurance Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

The Church of Christ, in Every Age
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 30 hymnals First Line: The church of Christ, in ev'ry age Lyrics: 1 The church of Christ in ev'ry age
beset by change, but Spirit-led,
must claim and test its heritage
and keep on rising from the dead.
2 Across the world, across the street,
the victims of injustice cry
for shelter and for bread to eat,
and never live before they die.
3 Then let the servant church arise,
a caring church that longs to be
a partner in Christ's sacrifice,
and clothed in Christ's humanity.
4 For he alone, whose blood was shed,
can cure the fever in our blood,
and teach us how to share our bread
and feed the starving multitude.
5 We have no mission but to serve
in full obedience to our Lord;
to care for all, without reserve,
and spread his liberating word. Topics: Vocation, Ministry; Justice, Peace; Community in Christ; Compassion, Caring; Evangelism; Justice, Peace; Vocation, Ministry; Witness Used With Tune: WAREHAM
