Glorious things are sung of Zion

Author: W. W. Phelps, 1792-1872 Appears in 16 hymnals Scripture: Acts 4:31-35 Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of sung of Zion, Enoch's city seen of old, Where the righteous, being perfect, Walked with God in streets of godl' Love and virtue, faith and wisdeom Grace and gifts were all combined; As himself each loved his neighbor, All were of one heart and mind. 2 Then the towers of Zion glittered Like the sun in yonder sky, And the wicked stood and trembled, Filled with wonder and surprise. Then their faith and works were prefect; Lo, they followed their great head! So the city went to heaven, And the world said, "Zion's fled!" 3 When the Lord returns with Zion, And they hear the watchmen cry, Then the saints will be united, And they'll all see eye to eye; Then they'll mingle with the angels, And the Lord will bless his own; Then the earth will be as heaven; They shall now as they are know.

We All Are One in Mission

Author: Rusty Edwards, 1955- Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 13 hymnals Scripture: Acts 4:32-35 Lyrics: 1 We all are one in mission, we all are one in call, our varied gifts united by Christ, the Lord of all. A single, great commission compels us from above to plan and work together that all may know Christ's love. 2 We all are called for service to witness in God's name. Our ministries are different, our purpose is the same: to touch the lives others by God's surprising grace, so ev'ry folk and nation may feel God's warm embrace. 3 We all behold one vision, a stark reality: the author of salvation was nailed upon a tree. Yet resurrected Justice gives rise that we may share free reconciliation and hope amid despair. 4 Now let us be united and let our song be heard. Now let us be a vessel for God's redeeming Word. We all are one in mission, we all are one in call, our varied gifts united by Christ, the Lord of all. Used With Tune: AURELIA
