God is here! As we his people

Author: Fred Pratt Green (1903-2000) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 48 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God is here! As we his people meet to offer praise and prayer, may we find in fuller measure what it is in Christ we share. Here, as in the world around us, all our varied skills and arts wait the coming of his Spirit into open minds and hearts. 2 Here are symbols to remind us of our lifelong need of grace; here are table, font and pulpit; here the cross has central place. Here in honesty of preaching, here in silence, as in speech, here, in newness and renewal, God the Spirit comes to each. 3 Here our children find a welcome in the Shepherd's flock and fold, here, as bread and wine are taken, Christ sustains us as of old. Here the servants of the Servant seek in worship to explore what it means in daily living to believe and to adore. 4 Lord of all, of Church and Kingdom, in an age of change and doubt, keep us faithful to the gospel, help us work your purpose out. Here, in this day's dedication, all we have to give, receive: we, who cannot live without you, we adore you! We believe!

Son of God, eternal Saviour

Author: Somerset Corry Lowry (1855-1932) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 65 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Son of God, eternal Saviour, source of life and truth and grace, Son of Man, whose birth incarnate hallows all our human race, thou, our Head, who, throned in glory, for thine own dost ever plead, fill us with thy love and pity; heal our wrongs, and help our need. 2 As thou, Lord, hast lived for others, so may we for others live; freely have thy gifts been granted, freely may thy servants give: thine the gold and thine the silver, thine the wealth of land and sea, we but stewards of thy bounty, held in solemn trust for thee. 3 Come, O Christ, and reign among us, King of love, and Prince of peace; hush the storm of strife and passion, bid its cruel discords cease; by thy patient years of toiling, by thy silent hours of pain, quench our fevered thirst of pleasure, shame our selfish greed of gain. 4 Son of God, eternal Saviour, source of life and truth and grace, Son of Man, whose birth incarnate hallows all our human race, thou who prayedst, thou who willest, that thy people should be one, grant, O grant our hope's fruition: here on earth thy will be done.

King of Saints, to Whom the Number

Author: John Ellerton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1. King of saints, to whom the number Of Thy starry host is known, Many a name, by man forgotten, Lives forever round Thy throne; Lights, which earth-born mists have darkened, There are shining full and clear, Princes in the court of Heaven, Nameless, unremembered here. 2. In the roll of Thine apostles One there stands, Bartholomew, He for whom today we offer, Year by year, our praises due; How he toiled for Thee and suffered None on earth can now record; All his saintly life is hidden In the knowledge of his Lord. 3. Was it he, beneath the fig tree Seen of Thee, and guileless found; He who saw the good he longed for Rise from Nazareth’s barren ground; He who met his risen Master On the shore of Galilee; He to whom the word was spoken, Greater things thou yet shall see? 4. None can tell us; all is written In the Lamb’s great book of life, All the faith, and prayer, and patience, All the toiling, and the strife; There are told Thy hidden treasures; Number us, O Lord, with them, When Thou makest up the jewels Of Thy living diadem.
