We thank thee, Lord, Thy paths of service lead
Author: Rev. Calvin W. Laufer Hymnal: The Hymnal #367 (1950) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Discipleship and Service; Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 We thank Thee, Lord, Thy paths of service lead
To blazoned heights and down the slopes of need;
They reach Thy throne, encompass land and sea,
And he who journeys in them walks with Thee.
2 We've sought and found Thee in the secret place
And marveled at the radiance of Thy face;
But often in some far-off Galilee
Beheld Thee fairer yet while serving Thee.
3 We've felt Thy touch in sorrow's darkened way
Abound with love and solace for the day;
And, 'neath the burdens there, Thy sovereignty
Has held our hearts enthralled while serving Thee.
4 We've seen Thy glory like a mantle spread
O'er hill and dale in saffron flame and red;
But in the eyes of men, redeemed and free,
A splendor greater yet while serving Thee.
Amen. Tune Title: FIELD
We thank thee, Lord, Thy paths of service lead

Bringing to hungry souls the bread of life,

Showing to wandering souls the path of light;
Walk Thou beside us lest the tempting byways
Lure us away from Thee to endless night.

From death and dark despair, from sin and guilt;
We render back the love Thy mercy gave us;
Take Thou our lives and use them as Thou wilt.

Who by this sign didst conquer grief and pain,
We would be faithful to Thy gospel glorious:

Eternal God Transcending Time
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Hymnal: Worship and Song #3030 (2011) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Discipleship and Service; Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 Eternal God transcending time,
yet mindful of the fears,
the hopes, the questions raised for us
by ever changing years:
so guide us through our pilgrim days
that we may find a home
where justice, truth, and mercy meet,
fulfilled in your shalom.
2 Incarnate God revealed in time,
true Word in flesh retold,
who marked the years from birth to death,
then rose to break death's hold:
by your becoming one with us,
help us to know and claim
the unity of all baptized
in your redeeming name.
3 Life breathing God enliv'ning time,
awaking heart and tongue,
inspiring prophets, bringing hope,
consoling old and young:
draw us to those denied your gifts
by bias, want, or strife,
convert our wills and form through us
new channels of your life.
4 Great Triune God, so bless the time
entrusted to our care,
that all our varied ministries
may form a common prayer;
then when time ceases,
bring us where divisions are undone,
that in your presence, joined in praise,
at last we may be one. Scripture: Psalm 119:33-40 Languages: English Tune Title: RESIGNATION

O Master, let me walk with Thee
Author: Rev. Washington Gladden Hymnal: The Hymnal #364 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Discipleship and Service; Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 O Master, let me walk with Thee
In lowly paths of service free;
Tell me Thy secret; help me bear
The strain of toil, the fret of care.

By some clear, winning word of love;
Teach me the wayward feet to stay,
And guide them in the homeward way.
3 Teach me Thy patience; still with Thee
In closer, dearer company,
In work that keeps faith sweet and strong,
In trust that triumphs over wrong;
4 In hope that sends a shining ray
Far down the future's broadening way;
In peace that only Thou canst give,
With Thee, O Master, let me live.
Amen. Tune Title: MARYTON

Come, labor on

Who dares stand idle on the harvest plain
While all around him waves the golden grain?
And to each servant does the Master say,
"Go work today."
2 Come, labor on.
Claim the high calling angels cannot share—
To young and old the gospel gladness bear;
Redeem the time; its hours too swiftly fly.
The night draws nigh.
3 Come, labor on.
Away with gloomy doubts and faithless fear!
No arm so weak but may do service here:
By feeblest agents may our God fulfill
His righteous will.
4 Come, labor on.
No time for rest, till glows the western sky,
Till the long shadows o'er our pathway lie,
And a glad sound comes with the setting sun,
"Well done, well done!"
Amen. Tune Title: ORA LABORA
Come, labor on
