Come, living God, when least expected
Author: Alan Gaunt (b. 1935) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Exodus 3:1-6 Lyrics: 1 Come, living God, when least expected,
when minds are dull and hearts are cold,
through sharpening word and warm affection
revealing truths as yet untold.
2 Break from the tomb in which we hide you
to speak again in startling ways;
break through the words in which we bind you
to resurrect our lifeless praise.
3 Come now, as once you came to Moses
within the bush alive with flame;
or to Elijah on the mountain,
by silence pressing home your claim.
4 So, let our minds be sharp to read you
in sight or sound or printed page,
and let us greet you in our neighbours,
in ardent youth or mellow age.
5 Then, through our gloom, your Son will meet us
as vivid truth and living Lord,
exploding doubt and disillusion
to scatter hope and joy abroad.
6 Then we will share his radiant brightness
and, blazing through the dread of night,
illuminate by love and reason,
for those in darkness, faith's delight. Topics: The Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit in the Church - Enlivening and Renewing the Church; God Presence of Used With Tune: SUNSET

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 709 hymnals Scripture: Exodus 3:20 Lyrics: 1 Come, my soul, your plea prepare,
Jesus loves to answer prayer;
He himself has bid you pray,
Therefore will not turn way.
2 You are coming to a King;
Large petitions therefore bring;
For his grace and pow'r are such,
None can ever ask too much.
3 Lord, I come to Thee for rest,
Take possession of my breast;
There Thy blood-bought right maintain,
And without a rival reign.
4 While I am a pilgrim here,
Let Thy love my spirit cheer:
As my guide, my guard, my friend,
Lead me to my journey's end.
Amen. Used With Tune: SEYMOUR
