Lord, you give the great commission
Author: Jeffery W. Rowthorn (b. 1934) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 43 hymnals 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 empower 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 fervour, draw us
closer in community;
with the Spirit's gifts empower 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 empower 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 empower 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 empower us
for the work of ministry.

Heavenly Father, You have brought us
Author: Hester Periam Hawkins, 1848-1928 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Heavenly Father, You have brought us
safely to the present day,
gently leading on our footsteps,
watching o’er us all the way.
Friend and guide through life’s long journey,
grateful hearts to You we bring;
but for love so true and changeless
how shall we fit praises sing?
2 Mercies new and never-failing
brightly shine through all the past,
watchful care and loving-kindness
always near from first to last,
tender love, divine protection
ever with us day and night;
blessings more than we can number
strew the path with golden light.
3 Shadows deep have crossed our pathway,
we have trembled in the storm;
clouds have gathered round so darkly
that we could not see Your form;
yet Your love has never left us
in our griefs to be alone,
and the help each gave the other
was the strength that is Your own.
4 Many that we loved have left us,
reaching first their journey’s end;
now they wait to give us welcome,
brother, sister, child, and friend.
When at last our journey’s over,
and we pass away from sight,
Father, take us through the darkness
into everlasting light. Topics: God Through the Years His Faithfulness; God Through the Years New Year - Old Year Used With Tune: RUSTINGTON Text Sources: Home Hymn Book, 1885

When We Were a Younger Nation
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: When we were a younger nation,
When new settlers filled this land—
God, you called this congregation
By your guiding, caring hand.
Those you gathered shared a language
And a life of love and praise;
Through your grace, they spread your message
In those pioneering days.
We, your church, have seen great wonders
As we’ve known Christ’s presence here.
We have welcomed in new members;
We’ve been blessed from year to year.
Through our music and our worship,
Through our teaching of your word,
Through our laughter and our friendship,
We’ve proclaimed it: “God is good!”
Yet your goodness that we cherish
Can’t be kept within this place;
So you send us out in service,
Doing justice, seeking peace.
Spirit-filled, we heal the broken,
Build new houses—new lives, too;
God, in ways both lived and spoken,
We have sought to follow you.
In an ever-changing nation,
God, you call us yet again;
You have shown this generation
How to welcome others in.
Crossings bounds of faith and culture,
May we learn and grow and share;
And may we, your church, be faithful,
Loving, serving everywhere.
