And Now, O Father, Mindful of the Love
Author: William Bright (1824-1901) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 92 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:16-21 Lyrics: 1 And now, O Father, mindful of the love
that bought us, once for all, on Calvary's tree,
and having with us him that pleads above,
we here present, we here spread forth to thee
that only offering perfect in thine eyes,
the one true, pure, immortal sacrifice.
2 Look, Father, look on his anointed face,
and only look on us as found in him;
look not on our misusings of thy grace,
our prayer so languid, and our faith so dim.
For lo! Between our sins and their reward
we set the passion of thy Son our Lord.
3 And then for those, our dearest and our best,
by this prevailing presence we appeal:
O fold them closer to thy mercy's breast;
O do thine utmost for their souls' true weal;
from tainting mischief keep them pure and clear,
and crown thy gifts with strength to persevere.
4 And so we come: O draw us to thy feet,
most patient Saviour, who canst love us still;
and by this food, so awesome and so sweet,
deliver us from every touch of ill.
In thine own service make us glad and free,
and grant us never more to part with thee. Topics: Eucharist; Eucharist; Forgiveness; Love; Prayer; Sunday of the Passion Used With Tune: UNDE ET MEMORES
And Now, O Father, Mindful of the Love
O love of God, how rich and pure
Author: Frederick Martin Lehman, 1868-1953 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.6.8.6 with refrain Appears in 81 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17-20 First Line: The love of God is greater far Lyrics: 1 The love of God is greater far
than tongue or pen can ever tell;
it goes beyond the highest star,
and reaches to the lowest hell.
The guilty pair bowed down with care
God gave his Son to win;
his erring child he reconciled,
and pardoned every sin.
Refrain:
O love of God, how rich and pure;
how measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure,
the saints' and angels' song.
2 When time at last shall pass away,
and earthly thrones and kingdoms fall;
When those who here refuse to pray
on rocks and hills and mountains call;
God's love, so sure, shall still endure
all measureless and strong,
redeeming grace to Adam's race,
the saints' and angels' song. [Refrain]
3 Could we with ink the ocean fill,
and were the skies of parchment made;
were every stalk on earth a quill,
and everyone a scribe by trade;
to write the love of God above
would drain the ocean dry;
nor could the scroll contain the whole,
though stretched from sky to sky. [Refrain] Topics: Celebration of Faith; Faithfulness of God; Forgiveness; Grace; Mystery of God's Love; Providence; Reconciliation; Response to Word; Saints Days and Holy Days St Michael and All Angels Used With Tune: THE LOVE OF GOD

Your Hand, O God, Has Guided
Author: Edward H. Plumptre Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 55 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:18-21 Refrain First Line: one church, one faith, one Lord Lyrics: 1 Your hand, O God, has guided
your flock from age to age;
your faithfulness is written
on history's open page.
Our parents knew your goodness,
and we their deeds record;
and both to this bear witness:
one church, one faith, one Lord!
2 Your heralds brought the gospel
to greatest and to least;
they summoned men and women
to share the great King's feast.
And this was all their teaching
in every deed and word,
to all alike proclaiming:
one church, one faith, one Lord!
3 Your mercy will not fail us
nor leave your work undone;
with your right hand to help us
the victory shall be won.
And then by earth and heaven
your name shall be adored;
and this shall be our anthem:
one church, one faith, one Lord!

We follow thee.

Nor suffer thou our steps to stray;
Then in the path that leads to day,
We follow thee.
4 Thou hast passed on before our face;
Thy footsteps on the way we trace;
Oh, keep us, aid us by thy grace:
We follow thee.

Whom on this earth, save thee, to love?
Still in thy light we onward move;
We follow thee.

Revive us, Lord, the world is waiting,
