The Fruit of the Spirit

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: SOGN2009 #34 (2009) Meter: 6.6.11.6.6.11 D First Line: The fruit of the Spirit is love for our sharing Lyrics: The fruit of the Spirit is love for our sharing, It's joy in the gospel that we have from you. It's peace that we live out with courage and daring; It's patience, for we know that we have sinned, too. It's kindness in all things and generous giving; It's faithfulness seeking to follow your way. It's gentleness, Lord, and it's self-controlled living; Now make us more fruitful in these things, we pray. Topics: Holy Spirit; Life in Christ Languages: English Tune Title: ASH GROVE

Be Doers of the Word of God

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: SOGN2009 #35 (2009) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: Be doers of the word of God, Not simply those who hear. Be ones who look into God’s word, Obey, and persevere. Be quick to listen, slow to speak, And slow to anger, too. Put wrath aside; instead, be meek And let God work in you. Religion that is undefiled, Religion that is pure Will reach to help the orphaned child And welcome all the poor. If people come here poorly dressed, To judge them is a sin. The rich aren’t better than the rest; God welcomes poor ones in. O Christ, you save us by God’s grace From having to obey. Then freed to love, we can embrace A life that seeks your way. May we be doers of the word, May faith shine through our deeds; And as we seek to trust in God, May ethics follow creeds.

O God, You Made the Sabbath Day

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: SOGN2009 #36a (2009) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: O God, you made the Sabbath day, Your gift, your law, your healing way. You also made, within each heart A longing for this day apart. You gave your children, long-oppressed, Your freeing gift of Sabbath rest. You give us Sabbath freedom, too: Our lives are more than work we do! Life’s sacred rhythm seems long gone; The world, unblinking, carries on. Your Spirit calls us! Slow our pace That we may hear your word of grace. Christ Jesus lives! He makes us new! On Sundays now, we worship you. With hearts uplifted, joy restored, Your church goes out to serve you, Lord.

All the Music Sung and Played Here

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: SOGN2009 #37 (2009) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: All the music sung and played here is a gift, O God, from you Lyrics: All the music sung and played here is a gift, O God, from you. For as long as we have prayed here, we’ve been blessed by music, too. By your Spirit, each musician finds new depths of faith to share. Music is a gift you’ve given and becomes our thankful prayer. All creation sings your glory; in the Psalms are pain and praise. Mary sang your saving story in her long, expectant days. Through the years, with great emotion, some have reached to you in song. May we sing with such devotion; music helps your church grow strong! You give hymns and songs for singing, toes for tapping your good news, Organ sounding, hand bells ringing, faithful hearers in the pews. With the trumpet and the cymbal, with guitar and violin, Faith is found here and rekindled; hearts are lifted, once again. Bless the talents we are bringing, for we offer you our best. If our gifts are not in singing, may our joyful noise be blest. If our world is ever silent, may we sign to you above. Touched by grace, may each one present offer back your song of love.

You Call Us, Lord, to Worship

Your love is overflowing; the doors are opened wide. Yet as we see your goodness, we see what we have been. And so we humbly ask you, "Forgive us of our sin!" We are forgiven people; we know your love's embrace. The peace of Christ is with us; forgiveness fills this place. We hear your word in scripture, in sermon and in song. Again, again, you tell us: we're loved and we belong. We share our joys and sorrows and then we offer prayer For people who are hurting, for nations everywhere. We bring our tithes and offerings, returning what is yours, For what we keep may vanish, but what we give endures. We celebrate your love, Lord, with water, wine and bread. For at your font we're welcomed and at your feast we're fed. We pray the prayer you taught us; we sing your praise and then Through daily, faithful living, we worship you again.

We Come to This Table

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: SOGN2009 #40 (2009) Meter: 12.11.12.11 First Line: We come to this table, O God, with thanksgiving Lyrics: We come to this table, O God, with thanksgiving. We lift up our hearts, we remember, we pray. We hear Jesus' welcome—inviting, forgiving; We know your Spirit's peace as we feast here today. We dine at your table as sisters and brothers, Diverse in our cultures, yet nourished as one. The bread and the cup that we share here with others Are gifts uniting all who are claimed by your Son. We grieve for your world here; we cry, "How much longer?" We pray for the cycles of violence to cease. Yet here, in Christ broken, we're fed and made stronger To labor in his name for a world filled with peace. We rise from this table with new dedication To feed the world's children, to free the oppressed, To clear out the minefields, to care for creation; We pray, O God of peace, that our work will be blest.
