Church of God, Elect and Glorious
Author: James E. Seddon, 1915-1983 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Church of God, elect and glorious,
holy nation, chosen race;
called as God's own special people,
royal priests and heirs of grace:
know the purpose of your calling,
show to all God's mighty deeds;
tell of love which knows no limits,
grace which meets all human needs.
2 God has called you out of darkness
into his most marv'lous light,
brought his truth to life within you,
turned your blindness into sight.
Let your light so shine around you
that God's name is glorified;
and all find fresh hope and purpose
in Christ Jesus crucified.
3 Once you were an alien people,
strangers to God's heart of love;
but he brought you home in mercy,
citizens of heav'n above.
Let his love flow out to others,
let them feel a Father's care;
that they too may know his welcome
and his countless blessings share.
4 Church of God, elect and holy,
be the people he intends;
strong in faith and swift to answer
each command your master sends:
royal priests, fulfill your calling
through your sacrifice and prayer;
give your lives in joyful service,
sing his praise, his love declare.

of our life's wild, restless sea;
day by day His sweet voice soundeth,

of the vain world's golden store,
from each idol that would keep us,
saying, "Christian, love me more."
2 In our joys and in our sorrows,
days of toil and hours of ease,
still He calls, in cares and pleasures,
"Christian, love me more than these."
Jesus calls us-- by Thy mercies,
Savior, may we hear Thy call;
give our hearts to Thine obedience,
serve and love Thee best of all. Topics: Submission and Profession Used With Tune: PLEADING SAVIOR

Jesus, refuge of the weary
Author: Jane Francesca Wilde, 1826 - 96; Girolamo Savonarola, 1452 - 98 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 57 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, refuge of the weary,
Object of the spirit's love,
Fountain in life's desert dreary,
Saviour from the world above;
O how oft thine eyes, offended,
Gaze upon the sinner's fall;
Yet upon the Cross extended,
Thou didst bear the pain of all. A-men.
2 Do we pass that Cross unheeding,
Breathing no repentant vow,
Though we see thee wounded, bleeding,
See thy thorn-encircled brow?
Yet thy sinless death hath brought us
Life eternal, peace, and rest;
Only what thy grace hath taught us
Calms the sinner's stormy breast.
3 Jesus, may our hearts be burning
With more fervent love for thee;
May our eyes be ever turning
To thy Cross of agony;
Till in glory, parted never
From the blessèd Saviour's side,
Graven in our hearts forever,
Dwell the Cross, the Crucified.
Amen.

What a Friend We Have in Jesus
Author: Joseph M. Scriven, 1819-1866 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,690 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer!
Oh what peace we often forfeit,
Oh what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer!
2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged–
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
Can we find a friend so faithful,
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness–
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
3 Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge–
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He'll take and shield thee–
Thou wilt find a solace there. Topics: Conflict; Devotional; God His Faithfulness; God Love and Mercy; Jesus Christ His Love and Mercy Scripture: Romans 12:12 Used With Tune: ANNIE LOWERY
