Great God, We Sing That Mighty Hand
Author: Philip Doddridge Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 491 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great God, we sing that mighty hand
By which supported still we stand;
The opening year Your mercy shows;
That mercy crowns it till it close.
2 With grateful hearts the past we own;
The future, all to us unknown,
We to Your guardian care commit,
And peaceful leave before Your feet.
3 In scenes exalted or depressed,
You are our joy, and You our rest;
Your goodness all our hopes shall raise,
Adored through all our changing days.

The Church of Christ in Every Age
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 30 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The church of Christ in every age,
Beset by change but Spirit led,
Must claim and test its heritage
And keep on rising from the dead.
2 Across the world, across the street,
The victims of injustice cry
For shelter and for bread to eat,
And never live until they die.
3 Then let the servant church arise,
A caring church that longs to be
A partner in Christ's sacrifice,
And clothed in Christ's humanity.
4 For Christ alone, whose blood was shed,
Can cure the fever in our blood,
And teach us how to share our bread
And feed the starving multitude.
5 We have no mission but to serve
In full obedience to our Lord:
To care for all, without reserve,
And spread his liberating word. Used With Tune: WAREHAM

the freshness of the fragrant breeze,
the song of birds upon the wing,
the joy of summer and of spring.

to bear for us the cross of shame,
sent by the Father from on high,
our life to live, our death to die.

e'en in the darkness of the grave;
still more in resurrection light
we read the fullness of your might.
7 O love of God, our shield and stay
through all the perils of our way;
eternal love, in you we rest,
forever safe, forever blest.

the loving God who gave the law.
And to Elijah, fasting, came
the steed and chariots of flame.

delivered from the lion’s might.
And John, the Savior’s friend, became
the herald of Messiah’s name.

return in fast and prayer to you.
Our spirits strengthen with your grace,
and give us joy to see your face. Topics: Ash Wednesday; Heritage Before 1500; John the Baptist; Lent Scripture: 2 Kings 2:11 Used With Tune: WAREHAM Text Sources: Clarum decus jejunii, 11th c.; trans. Maurice F. Bell (England), The English Hymnal, 1906, alt.

To whom this King of triumph comes!
Fling wide the portals of your heart!
Make it a temple, set apart
From earthly use for heaven's employ,
Adorned with prayer and love and joy.
Redeemer, come! I open wide
My heart to thee: here, Lord abide!
Let me thy inner presence feel:
Thy grace and love in me reveal.
So come, my Sovereign! enter in!
Let new and nobler life begin!
Thy Holy Spirit, guide us on,
Until the glorious crown be won!
Amen.
