Lord of the Church, we pray for our renewing
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #497 (2013) Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Lyrics: 1 Lord of the Church, we pray for our renewing:
Christ over all, our undivided aim.
Fire of the Spirit, burn for our enduing,
wind of the Spirit, fan the living flame!
We turn to Christ amid our fear and failing,
the will that lacks the courage to be free,
the weary labours, all but unavailing,
to bring us nearer what a church should be.
2 Lord of the Church, we seek a Father's blessing,
a true repentance and a faith restored,
a swift obedience and a new possessing,
filled with the Holy Spirit of the Lord!
We turn to Christ from all our restless striving,
unnumbered voices with a single prayer:
the living water for our souls' reviving,
in Christ to live, and love and serve and care.
3 Lord of the Church, we long for our uniting,
true to one calling, by one vision stirred;
one cross proclaiming and one creed reciting,
one in the truth of Jesus and his word.
So lead us on; till toil and trouble ended,
one Church triumphant one new song shall sing,
to praise his glory, risen and ascended,
Christ over all, the everlasting King!

If we could speak all tongues of earth and heaven
Author: Rob Atkins Hymnal: Hymnary Custom Collection #1 Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Lyrics: 1 If we could speak all tongues of earth and heavn
but have not love our prophecy is vain;
though every mystery to us is open
to talk of love will be an empty claim.
But love is swift to clear misunderstanding,
love is not proud, insisting on display
and love is rich in patient understanding:
grant us, oh Lord of love to seek the better way.
2 If we should give to others when we prosper
but have not love, we fail the final test:
if we should place our substance on the altar,
our sacrifice, if boastful, is not blessed.
For love is clean and clear in its intentions,
lifts up its face to face the light of day,
love is pure harmony without pretension:
grant us, oh Lord of love to find the better way.
3 If by our faith we make the mountains tremble
but have not love, then nothing do we win:
we are but noisy gongs or clanging cymbals
condemned to sink to silence in the end.
But love is always faithful in rejoicing,
lifts up a song of hope that never fails
love is a choir of perfect blended voices:
grant us, oh Lord of love to choose the better way.
4 When we were young we fought for worldly glory,
but worldly ways in time all have to die.
We see in part as in a mirror darkly
and wait in hope for love’s bright sun to rise.
Faith, hope and love, these three remain our story
but faith and hope will vanish in the day;
as we await love’s triumph in the glory
grant us, oh Lord of love to love the better way. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13 Languages: English Tune Title: LONDONDERRY AIR

A WHITSUNTIDE HYMN
Author: Valdimar Briem; Charles Venn Pilcher Hymnal: Passion-Hymns of Iceland, The #26 (1913) Meter: 11.10.11.10 D First Line: Lord, let Thy Spirit, from earthly passion weaning Lyrics:
Lord, let Thy Spirit, from earthly passion weaning,
Lead me along Thy will's all-holy way,
To find, by faith on Jesus' bosom leaning,
'Mid trial, doubt, and need, in Him my stay.
Lord, let Thy Spirit, Thy Word's deep wealth unsealing,
Lighten mine eyes with truth's celestial fire;
In life, in death, the narrow path revealing
Towards the Promised Land of our desire.
Lord, let Thy Spirit, new love, new life bestowing,
Create a holy heart my breast within;
That I, into my Saviour's likeness growing,
May bear His image through a world of sin.
Lord, let Thy Spirit, each idol form down-tearing,
Cast from my soul the thoughts, the sins that stain;
Within those walls a temple meet preparing,
Where Jesus evermore may dwell, and reign.

Refrain First Line: Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven! Lyrics: 1. Praise to the man who communed with Jehovah!
Jesus anointed that Prophet and Seer.
Blessed to open the last dispensation,
Kings shall extol him, and nations revere.
Chorus:
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.
2. Praise to his mem’ry, he died as a martyr;
Honored and blest be his ever great name!
Long shall his blood, which was shed by assassins,
Plead unto heav’n while the earth lauds his fame.
3. Great is his glory and endless his priesthood.
Ever and ever the keys he will hold.
Faithful and true, he will enter his kingdom,
Crowned in the midst of the prophets of old.
4. Sacrifice brings forth the blessings of heaven;
Earth must atone for the blood of that man.
Wake up the world for the conflict of justice.
Millions shall know “Brother Joseph” again. Topics: Joseph Smith; Priesthood; Prophets; Restoration; Restoration of the Gospel; Sacrifice Languages: English Tune Title: MARTYR

I cannot tell why he, whom angels worship
Author: William Young Fullerton, 1857-1932 Hymnal: Common Praise #54 (2000) Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Lyrics: 1 I cannot tell why he, whom angels worship,
should set his love upon the sons of men,
or why, as Shepherd, he should seek the wanderers,
to bring them back, they know not how or when.
But this I know, that he was born of Mary
when Bethl'em's manger was his only home,
and that he lived at Nazareth and laboured,
and so the Saviour, Saviour of the world, is come.
2 I cannot tell how silently he suffered,
as with his peace he graced this place of tears,
or how his heart upon the cross was broken,
the crown of pain to three and thirty years.
But this I know, he heals the broken-hearted
and stays our sin and calms our lurking fear
and lifts the burden from the heavy laden;
for still the Saviour, Saviour of the world is here.
3 I cannot tell how he will win the nations,
how he will claim his earthly heritage,
how satisfy the needs and aspirations
of east and west, of sinner and of sage.
But this I know, all flesh shall see his glory,
and he shall reap the harvest he has sown,
and some glad day his sun will shine in splendour
when he the Saviour, Saviour of the world, is known.
4 I cannot tell how all the lands shall worship,
when at his bidding every storm is stilled,
or who can say how great the jubilation
when every heart with love and joy is filled.
But this I know, the skies will thrill with rapture,
and myriad myriad human voices sing,
and earth to heav'n, and heav'n to earth, will answer,
'at last the Saviour, Saviour of the world, is King!' Topics: Christmas; Christmas I Year A Scripture: 1 John 4:14 Languages: English Tune Title: LONDONDERRY

Above the voices of the world around me
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #114 (2013) Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Lyrics: 1 Above the voices of the world around me,
my hopes and dreams, my cares and loves and fears,
the long-awaited call of Christ has found me,
the voice of Jesus echoes in my ears:
'I gave my life to break the cords that bind you,
I rose from death to set your spirit free;
tum from your sins and put the past behind you,
take up your cross and come and follow me.'
2 What can I offer him who calls me to him?
Only the wastes of sin and self and shame;
a mind confused, a heart that never knew him,
a tongue unskilled at naming Jesus' name.
Yet at your call, and hungry for your blessing,
drawn by that cross which moves a heart of stone,
now Lord I come, my tale of sin confessing,
and in repentance turn to you alone.
3 Lord, I believe; help now my unbelieving;
I come in faith because your promise stands.
Your word of pardon and of peace receiving,
all that I am I place within your hands.
Let me become what you shall choose to make me,
freed from the guilt and burden of my sins.
Jesus is mine, who never shall forsake me,
and in his love my new-born life begins.

Fair as the sun when night has turned to day;
And from it love’s pure light is richly streaming,

Today as in the ages lost to sight;
And so for Thee, O Christ, men’s hearts are yearning,
As shipwrecked seamen yearn for morning light.
2 The cross, O Christ, Thy wondrous love revealing,
Awakes our hearts as with the light of morn,
And pardon o’er our sinful spirits stealing
Tells us that we, in Thee, have been reborn.
Like echoes to sweet temple bells replying
Our hearts, O Lord, make answer to Thy love;
And we will love Thee with a love undying,
Till we are gathered to Thy home above.

sharing one table, one cup and one Light,
we are a family human and hurting,
changing and challenged to know what is right;
we are this family deeply divided,
struggling to service the Gospel's demands,
we are a household of quarrelsome children
each with a free-flying kite in our hands.
2 Yet we are part of God's dream for creation,
we who are learning forgiveness and grace,
lanterns of peace lighting pathways to justice,
giving the stranger a welcoming place;
let's be a household of care and compassion,
open to cultures and creeds not our own,
building a model all *people will witness,
seeing where winds of the Spirit have blown!
3 While there are children whose *food bowls are empty,
while there are prisons where innocents die,
while refugees swell the flood of the homeless,
while the earth shudders, and all creatures cry,
we are a people who hear and must answer,
healing and helping a new world to birth,
household of faith that is fed at one table,
sharing good news with the whole of the earth. Topics: Humanity Scripture: Ephesians 2:19-21 Languages: English

Most slow to anger, plenteous in love;
Rich is His grace to all that humbly seek Him,
Boundless and endless as the heavens above.
His love is like a father's to his children,
Tender and kind to all who fear His Name;
For well He knows our weakness and our frailty,
He knows that we are dust, He knows our frame.
2 We fade and die like flowers that grow in beauty,
Like tender grass that soon will disappear;
But evermore the love of God is changeless,
Still shown to those who look to Him in fear. High in the heavens His throne is fixed forever,
His kingdom rules o'er all from pole to pole;
Bless ye the Lord through all His wide dominion,
Bless His most holy Name, O thou my soul.

Thy visits, Jesus Christ, the soul's true Friend,

In Thy true love, have both one heart and mind,
Where both to Thy salvation are invited,
And in Thy doctrine both contentment find;
Where both, to Thee, in truth, forever cleaving
In joy, in grief, make Thee their only stay,
And fondly hope in Thee to be believing,
Both in the good and in the evil day.
3 O blessed home, where little children tender
Are laid upon Thy heart with hands of prayer,
Thou Friend of children, Who wilt freely render
To them more than a mother's loving care,
Where round Thy feet they gather, to Thee clinging,
And hear Thy loving voice most willingly,
And in their songs, Thy hearty praises ringing,
Rejoice in Thee, O blessed Lord, in Thee.

our loves and hopes, our failures and our fears;
eternal Lord, the king of all the ages,
unchanging still amid the passing years:
O living Word, the source of all creation,
who spread the skies and set the stars ablaze,
O Christ the same, who wrought our whole salvation,
we bring our thanks for all our yesterdays.
2 O Christ the same, the friend of sinners, sharing
our inmost thoughts, the secrets none can hide;
still as of old upon your body bearing
the marks of love, in triumph glorified:
O Son of Man, who stooped for us from heaven —
O Prince of life, in all your saving power;
O Christ the same, to whom our hearts are given:
we bring our thanks for this the present hour.
3 O Christ the same, secure within whose keeping
our lives and loves, our days and years remain;
our work and rest, our waking and our sleeping,
our calm and storm, our pleasure and our pain:
O Lord of love, for all our joys and sorrows,
for all our hopes, when earth shall fade and flee;
O Christ the same, beyond our brief tomorrows,
we bring our thanks for all that is to be. Topics: God's World Years and Seasons Scripture: Hebrews 13:8 Languages: English Tune Title: SALVATOR MUNDI

Ever Content With The Ways Of My Father
Author: Paul E. Kretzmann Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #287 (1930) Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Lyrics: 1 Ever content with the ways of my Father:
He knoweth best on what path I should go;
Ever content in the blessed assurance
That I make progress, no matter how show;
Yielding my hands to His fatherly guidance,
Since He on pathways of safety doth lead,
Since He in kindness, when faint grow my footsteps,
Ever my soul in His mercy doth feed.
2 Ever content with the burden He giveth:
He knoweth best what His children can bear;
Ever content, though the load seem oppressive,
Though on all sides there be worry and care.
This is my comfort, this eases my burden,
This makes me cheerful to bear ev'ry cross,
That is my stead Jesus bore all transgressions,
That for my sake He endured untold loss.
3 Ever content--tho' it sometimes appeareth
That He in anger hath hidden His face;
Ever content, for His merciful promise
Bids me believe His assurance of grace.
I am a child of the heavenly Father;
Why, then, should ever my heart fret and fear?
I shall be with Him, in bliss and in glory,
When my Redeemer once more will appear. Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Languages: English Tune Title: CONTENTMENT

Lord of the church, we pray for our renewing
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, 1926- Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #327 (2010) Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Lyrics: 1 Lord of the church, we pray for our renewing:
Christ over all, our undivided aim.
Fire of the Spirit, burn for our enduing,
wind of the Spirit, fan the living flame!
We turn to Christ amid our fear and failing,
the will that lacks the courage to be free,
the weary labours, all but unavailing,
to bring us nearer what a church should be.
2 Lord of the church, we seek a Father's blessing,
a true repentance and a faith restored,
a swift obedience and a new possessing,
filled with the Holy Spirit of the Lord!
We turn to Christ from all our restless striving,
unnumbered voices with a single prayer:
the living water for our souls' reviving,
in Christ to live, and love and serve and care.
3 Lord of the church, we long for our uniting,
true to one calling, by one vision stirred;
one cross proclaiming and one creed reciting,
one in the truth of Jesus and his word.
So lead us on; till toil and trouble ended,
one church triumphant one new song shall sing,
to praise his glory, risen and ascended,
Christ over all, the everlasting king! Topics: General Hymns Church/Fellowship/Mission Languages: English Tune Title: LONDONDERRY AIR

Author: G. T. Rygh; J. N. Brun Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #469 (1930) Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Lyrics: 1 Heavenly Spirit, all others transcending,
Thou who with Father and Son dost abide!
Come Thou, our spirits in unity blending,
Come and make ready the heavenly bride!
Calling and gath'ring and Jesus declaring,
Building God's Church, shedding light from above,
Come, O Thou Spirit of God, never tiring,
Come and interpret God's wonderful love!
2 Merciful Jesus, with love never failing,
Sending Thy Spirit, the pledge ever new,
That Thy atonement for all is availing,
Faith ever sees that Thy promise is true.
Crowned are Thy servants with heavenly fire,
Speaking with hearts and with tongues all aflame;
Heavenly Spirit, our voices inspire,
That we may sing of His glorious name!
3 Heav'nly Consoler, with unction celestial,
Heal Thou the wounds of each sin-burdened heart!
Strengthen our faith and, with zeal Pentecostal,
Fill our faint souls and Thy blessings impart!
New hearts within us create and new spirits;
Lead us in truth and sustain us in woe;
Teach us true faith in the dear Savior's merits,
So that at death we Thy power may know!
