Blumenfeld, 1927-2013 Hymnal: CWH2021 #738 (2021) Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: The Son of God, our Christ, the Word, the way Lyrics: 1 The Son of God, our Christ, the Word, the way. shared human life and toiled throughout the day; from common folk he called his friends to be co-workers in his sacred ministry. 2 In ev'ry test, in trials manifold, these servants witnessed, by their faith made bold; and with the gifts and talents which they brought, the Church was founded and God's message taught. 3 Today, as then, Christ summons us to dare to follow boldly and his work to share, declaring to the world his holy name and showing mercy to the sick and lame. 4 In city street, in town, or on the soil, may each serve Christ in faithful daily toil, and in each thought and kindly word and deed, obey Christ's call and go where he shall lead. 5 Where'er we find our witness should be made, whate'er our task, the Lord will be our aid, and we will gladly give for him our best and find each task divinely sent and blessed.

Forgive Us, Lord, for Shallow Thankfulness

Author: William W. Reid, Sr., 1890-1983, alt. Hymnal: CWH2021 #754 (2021) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Forgive us, Lord, for shallow thankfulness, for dull content with warmth and sheltered care, for songs of praise for worldly wealthiness, while of your richer gifts we're unaware: 2 Teach us to thank you, Lord, for love and grace, for life and vision, for a purpose clear, for Christ, your Son, and for each human face that shows your message ever new and near. 3 Forgive us, Lord, for selfish thanks and praise, for words that speak at variance with deeds; forgive our thanks for walking pleasant ways, unmindful of a broken brother's needs: 4 Teach us, O Lord, true thankfulness divine, that gives as Christ gave, never counting cost, that knows no barrier of "yours" and "mine," assured that only what's withheld is lost. 5 Forgive us, Lord, for feast that knows not fast, for joy in things that meanwhile starve the soul, for walls and wars that hide Your mercies vast and blur our vision of the Kingdom goal: 6 Open our eyes to see your love's intent, to know with minds and hearts its depth and height; let thankful days in loving labor spent reflect the truly Christlike life and light.

The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide.

Who like thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me! 6 I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless; ills have no weight and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still if thou abide with me. 7 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes; shine through the gloom and point me to the skies. Heav'n's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me! Topics: Evening Scripture: Luke 24:29 Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE
