Lord, You Give the Great Commission
Author: Jeffery Rowthorn, b. 1934 Hymnal: Journeysongs (3rd ed.) #431 (2012) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Liturgical Year Ss. Peter and Paul, Apostles (June 29) Lyrics: 1 Lord, you give the great commission:
"Heal the sick and preach the word."
Lest the church neglect its mission
And the gospel go unheard,
Help us witness to your purpose
With renewed integrity:
With the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
For the work of ministry.
2 Lord, you call us to your service:
"In my name baptize and teach."
That the world may trust your promise,
Life abundant meant for each,
Give us all new fervor, draw us
Closer in community:
With the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
For the work of ministry.
3 Lord, you make the common holy:
"This my body, this my blood."
Let us all, for earth's true glory,
Daily lift life heavenward,
Asking that the world around us
Share your children's liberty:
With the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
For the work of ministry.
4 Lord, you show us love's true measure:
"Father, what they do, forgive."
Yet we hoard as private treasure
All that you so freely give.
May your care and mercy lead us
To a just society:
With the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
For the work of ministry.
5 Lord, you bless with words assuring:
"I am with you to the end."
Faith and hope and love restoring,
May we serve as you intend
And, amid the cares that claim us,
Hold in mind eternity:
With the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
For the work of ministry. Scripture: John 10:10 Languages: English Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH
Lord, You Give the Great Commission
Glorious things of you are spoken
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: Together in Song #446 (1999) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Saints Days and Holy Days Apostles Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of you are spoken,
Zion, city of our God:
he whose word cannot be broken
formed you for his own abode.
On the Rock of Ages founded,
what can shake your sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded
you may smile at all your foes.
2 See, the streams of living waters,
springing from eternal love,
well supply your sons and daughters
and all fear of want remove:
who can faint while such a river
ever flows their thirst to assuage -
grace, which like the Lord the giver
never fails from age to age?
3 Blest inhabitants of Zion,
washed in their Redeemer's blood:
Jesus, whom their souls rely on,
makes them kings and priests to God.
For his love his people raises
over self to reign as kings,
and as priests, his solemn praises
each for a thank-offering brings.
4 Saviour, since of Zion's city
I, through grace, a member am,
let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in your name:
fading are the worldlings' pleasures,
all their boasted pomp and show;
solid joys and lasting treasures
none but Zion's children know. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:1-8 Languages: English Tune Title: ABOT'S LEIGH
Glorious things of you are spoken

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 Topics: Other Saints and Festivals Peter and Paul, Apostles 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! Scripture: John 17:20-23 Languages: English Tune Title: LONDONDERRY AIR
Lord of the Church, we pray for our renewing
Sing, my tongue, the Saviour’s glory
Author: Thomas Aquinas, c. 1227-74; Edward Caswall, 1814-78 Hymnal: Together in Song #501 (1999) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Saints Days and Holy Days Apostles Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the Saviour’s glory,
of his flesh the mystery sing:
of the blood all price exceeding
shed by our eternal King,
destined for the world's redemption
from a Virgin's womb to spring.
2 Born for us, and for us given,
born to live like us below,
he, a man with us abiding,
lived the gospel seed to sow;
and at last faced death undaunted,
his self-giving love to show.
3 On the night of that last supper,
seated with his chosen band,
first the passover observing
he fulfils the law's command,
then as food to his disciples
gives himself with his own hand.
4 Word made flesh! His word life-giving
gives his flesh our food to be,
wine as his own blood he offers;
then, though senses fail to see,
faith alone the true heart wakens
to behold the mystery.
5 Therefore we, before him kneeling,
this great sacrament revere;
ancient forms all have their ending
for the newer rite is here;
faith its aid to sight is lending:
though unseen, the Lord is here.
6 Glory let us give and blessing,
to the Father and the Son,
honour, might and praise addressing
while eternal ages run,
and the Spirit's love confessing,
who from both with both is one. Scripture: Hebrews 9:19-28 Languages: English Tune Title: HOLYWOOD
Sing, my tongue, the Saviour’s glory

The church's one foundation
Author: Samuel John Stone (1832-1900) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #506 (2013) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Topics: Other Saints and Festivals Peter and Paul, Apostles Lyrics: 1 The church's one foundation
is Jesus Christ her Lord;
she is his new creation
by water and the word:
from heaven he came and sought her
to be his holy Bride;
with his own blood he bought her,
and for her life he died.
2 Elect from every nation,
yet one o'er all the earth,
her charter of salvation
one Lord, one faith, one birth;
one holy name she blesses,
partakes one holy food,
and to one hope she presses
with every grace endued.
3 Though with a scornful wonder
men see her sore opprest,
by schisms rent asunder,
by heresies distrest;
yet saints their watch are keeping,
their cry goes up, 'How long?'
And soon the night of weeping
shall be the morn of song.
4 'Mid toil and tribulation,
and tumult of her war,
she waits the consummation
of peace for evermore;
till with the vision glorious
her longing eyes are blest,
and the great church victorious
shall be the church at rest.
5 Yet she on earth hath union
with God the Three in One,
and mystic sweet communion
with those whose rest is won:
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we,
like them, the meek and lowly,
on high may dwell with thee. Scripture: Ephesians 4:1-6 Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA
