O God, to Us Show Mercy
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #67 (1987) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 O God, to us show mercy
and bless us in your grace,
and cause to shine upon us
the brightness of your face,
so that your way most holy
on earth may soon be known,
and unto every people
your saving grace be shown.
2 Let all the peoples praise you,
let all the nations sing;
in every land let praises
and songs of gladness ring;
for you will judge the peoples
in truth and righteousness,
and on the earth all nations
will your just rule confess.
3 Let all the peoples praise you,
let all the nations sing.
Then earth in rich abundance
to us her fruit will bring.
The LORD our God will bless us,
our God will blessing send,
and all the earth will fear him
to its remotest end.

When Jesus came to Jordan
Author: F. Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: Common Praise #93 (2000) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 When Jesus came to Jordan
to be baptized by John,
he did not come for pardon,
but as his Father's Son.
He came to share repentance
with all who mourn their sins,
to speak the vital sentence
with which good news begins.
2 He came to share temptation,
our utmost woe and loss;
for us and our salvation
to die upon the cross.
So when the Dove descended
on him, the Son of Man,
the hidden years had ended,
the age of grace began.
3 Come, Holy Spirit, aid us
to keep the vows we make,
this very day invade us,
and every bondage break.
Come, give our lives direction,
the gift we covet most:
to share the resurrection
that leads to Pentecost.

When Jesus came to Jordan
My Lord, I did not choose you
Author: J. Conder (1789-1855) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #107 (1987) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 My Lord, I did not choose you
for that could never be;
my heart would still refuse you
had you not chosen me:
you took the sin that stained me,
you cleansed me, made me new,
for you, Lord, had ordained me
that I should live in you.
2 Unless your grace had called me
and taught my opening mind,
the world would have enthralled me,
to heavenly glories blind:
my heart knows none above you;
for you I long, I thirst,
and know that, if I love you,
Lord, you have loved me first. Topics: God, Saviour Growing, Teaching, Serving; The Election of God's People Abraham; Epiphany 2, Revelation The First Disciples; Christ the Friend of Sinners Scripture: John 15:16 Languages: English Tune Title: OFFERTORIUM

Sometimes a Light Surprises
Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #159 (1985) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises
the Christian while he sings;
it is the Lord, who rises
eith healing in his wings;
when comforts are declining,
he grants the soul again
a season of clear shining
to cheer it after rain.
2 In holy contemplation
we sweetly then pursue
the theme of God's salvation,
and find it ever new;
set free from present sorrow
we cheerfully can say,
e'en let the unknown morrow
bring with it what it may.
3 It can bring with it nothing
but he will bear us through;
who gives the lilies clothing
will clothe his people too;
beneath the spreading heavens
no creature but is fed;
Aad he who feeds the ravens
will give his children bread.
4 Though vine nor fig tree neither
their wonted fruit should bear,
though all the field should wither,
nor flocks nor herds be there,
yet God the same abiding,
his praise shall tune my voice,
for while in him confiding
I cannot but rejoice.

look on us, we are thine;
renew in us thy graces,
upon our darkness shine;

upon our souls outpoured,
we may receive in gladness
the body of the Lord.
