As Children, We May Learn to Love

Author: Daniel Charles Damon Hymnal: NHOH #15 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 As children, we may learn to love, to trust, and as we grow, to test and try the world around, enlarging what we know. 2 If songs and stories fill our hearts, a vital seed may grow to bear the fruit of faith and hope: the love our lives can show. 3 When change and sorrow come our way our faith is tried by fire, but from a tiny seed can grow the tallest redwood spire. 4 This faith, no longer like the old, is stronger for the years. Embracing life and death, it holds our laughter and our tears. 5 We learn to spend and to be spent, and living free from fear, we bear the healing fruit of faith, and show God's presence here.

And when they'd drunk, they tasted how you'd saved the best of wines till now. 2. And then at table with your few, you showed the covenant made new. The paschal bread and wine you gave for us became the means to save the world from sin and stubborn ways and us from death and hell to raise. And when we drink, by faith we know you've saved the best of wines till now. 3. And when in heaven we shall sup and at the Lamb's feast drain the cup, no mystic wine or sacred bread shall stand between us in your stead; but that bright banquet's hosts shall be the blessed holy Trinity. And then we'll know, all sorrows past, you've saved the best of wines till last. Scripture: Luke 22:15-16 Languages: English Tune Title: [At Cana's wedding feast, the guests]

Author: Andrew Pratt Hymnal: NHOH #19 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 At the learning curve's beginning, hardly knowing where we head, finding how to learn, while living, grasping all that's seen or said. 2 Looking through the sky that's soaring, waiting at the ocean's shore, filled with wonder at the seeing, sensing God will offer more; 3 Filled with praise for revelation, and for all we've yet to find. Praise to God the source of wisdom, and for each enquiring mind. Topics: Promise and Hope; Understanding; Word and Teaching Languages: English

Baptized into Christ the Lord

Author: G. Alan Crandall Hymnal: NHOH #20 Meter: 7.7.7.7 with alleluias Lyrics: Baptized into Christ the Lord, Resurrection life outpoured; Raised with Jesus from the dead, He our new creation's head. Our old self was crucified, When for all to sin Christ died; Slaves no longer, freed from sin, We belong to God again. Dead to sin, alive to God, Give him glory, honor, laud; Buried in a bathing grace, Raised before the Father's face. Give your bodies to the Lord, He alone shall be adored; Sinful passions cannot reign, While we dwell in God's domain. Law no longer holds its sway, Since Christ's resurrection day. Grace has conquered! Grace will save! Death o'ercome by open grave! Scripture: Romans 6:1-14 Languages: English Tune Title: LLANFAIR
