Come, Teach Us, Spirit of Our God
We Have Come at Christ's Own Bidding
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We have come at Christ’s own bidding
to this high and holy place,
where we wait with hope and longing
for some token of God’s grace.
Here we pray for new assurance
that our faith is not in vain,
searching like those first disciples
for a sign both clear and plain.
2 Light breaks through our clouds and shadows,
splendor bathes the flesh-joined Word,
Moses and Elijah marvel
as the heavenly voice is heard.
Eyes and hearts behold with wonder
how the Law and Prophets meet:
Christ with garments drenched in brightness,
stands transfigured and complete.
3 Strengthened by this glimpse of glory,
fearful lest our faith decline,
We, like Peter, find it tempting
to remain and build a shrine.
But true worship gives us courage
to proclaim what we profess,
That our daily lives may prove us
people of the God we bless.

by the Galilean lake,
Turned from home and toil and kindred,
leaving all for Jesus' sake,
leaving all for Jesus' sake.

of the treasures we adore,
From each idol that would keep us,
saying, "Christian, love me more,"
saying, "Christian, love me more."
4 In our joys and in our sorrows,
days of toil and hours of ease,
Jesus calls, in cares and pleasures,
"Christian, love me more than these,"
"Christian, love me more than these."

Savior, may we hear your call,
Give our hearts to your obedience,
serve and love you best of all,

Author: Samuel Longfellow Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 101 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I look to you in every need,
and never look in vain;
I feel your strong and tender love,
and all is well again:
The thought of you is mightier far
than sin and pain and sorrow are.
2 Discouraged in the work of life,
disheartened by its load,
Shamed by its failures or its fears,
I sink beside the road;
But let me only think of you
and all my strength returns anew.
3 Serene and calm, you circle me,
my restlessness to still;
Around me flows your quickening life,
to nerve my faltering will:
Your presence fills my solitude;
your providence turns all to good.
4 Enfolded deep in your dear love,
held in your law, I stand;
Your hand in all things I behold,
and all things in your hand;
You lead me in surprising ways,
and turn my mourning into praise. Topics: Comfort and Assurance; God Providence and Goodness of; God Strength and Refuge of; Year C Proper 12 Used With Tune: O JESU
