Called to Gather As God's People

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Called to gather as God's people, We assemble in this place To unite our hearts and voices In thanksgiving for God's grace: For the birthing of creation, For Christ's rising from death's hold, For the coming of the Spirit, Week by week claimed and retold. 2 Taught and formed by proclamation, We await God's promised word: Song and story, psalm and precept, All the range of scripture heard. By this ancient, living witness We are summoned to confess How we fall short, yet can trust that God will hear, forgive, and bless. 3 Fed at Christ's abundant table, We partake of holy food, Wake the gifts of hope and mem'ry, Taste and see that God is good. So our mingled lives are taken, Blessed and broken for Christ's sake, Given out to feed and comfort Bodies, minds, and hearts that ache. 4 Sent to share the Spirit's blessing, We go forth renewed, restored, Humbled by the task before us, Strengthened by the Love outpoured. Finding faith confirmed in action, Led by hope through each new day, We are called to be God's people, Living what we sing and pray.

God of Love, We Sing Your Glory

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: God of love, we sing youir glory and we offer you our praise Lyrics: God of love, we sing your glory and we offer you our praise, As we celebrate the story of our church’s founding days. ‘Mid the farms and homes around here, faithful Christians heard your call: ”This is truly mission ground here; be my light that shines to all.” From the start, we were a mission, sent to share Christ’s love and grace. Through the years, we’ve kept that vision as we’ve served you in this place. As we’ve sought to be a blessing to the lonely, lost and poor, What we’ve found has been surprising: you have blessed us even more. When we gather here to worship, still your blessings overflow. Education, faith and friendship are your gifts through which we grow. Called to serve, we seek a balance: honor old ways, try what’s new! Spirit-filled, we share our talents and are blessed by serving you. God, we pray about the future, and we wonder what will be; Yet we know it’s an adventure joining hands in ministry. For in church, each generation builds by faith and not by sight— And each one, a new creation, finds new ways to spread your light.
