Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 294 hymnals Topics: Our Response to God in the worship of God's house Lyrics: 1 Christ is made the sure foundation,
Christ the head and cornerstone,
chosen of the Lord, and precious,
binding all the Church in one,

and her confidence alone.
2 To this temple, where we call you,
come, O Lord of Hosts, today;
with your constant loving-kindness,
hear your servants as they pray,
and your fullest benediction
shed within its walls alway.
3 Here bestow on all your servants
what they ask of you to gain,
what they gain from you for ever
with the blessèd to retain,
and hereafter in your glory
evermore with you to reign.

and adoration leaves no room for pride,
it is as though the whole creation cried,
Alleluia!
2 How often, making music, we have found
a new dimension in the world of sound,
as worship moved us to a more profound
Alleluia!
3 So has the Church, in liturgy and song,
in faith and love, through centuries of wrong,
borne witness to the truth in every tongue:
Alleluia!
4 And did not Jesus sing a psalm that night
when utmost evil strove against the Light?
Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight:
Alleluia!

Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise!

Great God, your love has called us here
Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: Our Response to God in the worship of God's house Lyrics: 1 Great God, your love has called us here
as we, by love, for love were made.
Your living likeness still we bear,
though marred, dishonoured, disobeyed.
We come, with all our heart and mind
your call to hear, your love to find.
2 We come with self-inflicted pains
of broken trust and chosen wrong,
half-free, half-bound by inner chains,
by social forces swept along,
by powers and systems close confined,
yet seeking hope for humankind.
3 Great God, in Christ you call our name
and then receive us as your own,
not through some merit, right or claim,
but by your gracious love alone.
We strain to glimpse your mercy seat
and find you kneeling at our feet.
4 Then take the towel, and break the bread,
and humble us, and call us friends.
Suffer and serve till all are fed,
and show how grandly love intends
to work till all creation sings,
to fill all worlds, to crown all things.
5 Great God, in Christ you set us free
your life to live, your joy to share.
Give us your Spirit's liberty
to turn from guilt and dull despair
and offer all that faith can do
while love is making all things new. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:17 Used With Tune: MELITA
Great God, your love has called us here
