The church is like a table

Author: Fred Kaan Hymnal: Global Praise 2 #102 (2000) Topics: The Church Lyrics: 1 The church is like a table, a table that is round. It has no sides or corners, no first or last, no honors; here people are in oneness and love together bound. 2 The church is like a table, set in an open house; no protocol for seating, a symbol of inviting, of sharing, drinking, eating; an end to "them" and "us." 3 The church is like a table, a table for a feast to celebrate the healing of all excluded feeling, (while Christ is serving, kneeling, a towel round his waist). 4 The church is like a table, where every head is crowned as guests of God created, all are to each related; the whole world is awaited to make the circle round.

Built on the Rock the Church

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: Concordia #46 (1918) Topics: The Church and Means of Grace The Church First Line: Built on the Rock the Church doth stand Lyrics: 1 Built on the Rock the Church doth stand, Even when steeples are falling; Crumbled have spires in ev'ry land, Bells still are chiming and calling; Calling the young and old to rest, But above all the soul distrest, Longing for rest everlasting. 2 Surely in temples made with hands, God, the Most High, is not dwelling, High above earth His temple stands, All earthly temples excelling: Yet He whom heav'ns cannot contain Chose to abide on earth with men-- Built in our bodies His temple. 3 We are God's house of living stones, Builded for His habitation; He thro' baptismal grace us owns, Heirs of His wondrous salvation; Were we but two His name to tell, Yet He would deign with us to dwell, With all His grace and His favor. 4 Still we our earthly temples rear, That we may herald His praises; They are the homes where He draws near And little children embraces; Beautiful things in them are said, God there with us His cov'nant made, Making us heirs of His kingdom. 5 Here stands the font before our eyes Telling how God did receive us; Th'altar recalls Christ's sacrifice And what His table doth give us; Here sounds the word that doth proclaim Christ yesterday, to-day the same, Yea, and for aye our Redeemer. 6 Grant then, O God, where'er men roam, That when the church bells are ringing, Many in Jesus' faith may come Where He His message is bringing: I know mine own, mine own know me, Ye, not the world, my face shall see: My peace I leave with you, Amen.

And take their crown above; Enter into their Master's joy, And all eternity employ In praise, and bliss, and love. Tune Title: [Lord of the Church, we humbly pray]
