Christ of the Upward Way
Author: Walter J. Mathams Hymnal: The Hymnbook #295 (1955) Meter: 6.4.6.4.10.10 Topics: Life in Christ Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 Christ of the Upward Way,
My Guide divine,
Where Thou hast set Thy feet
May I place mine;
And move and march wherever Thou hast trod,
Keeping face forward up the hill of God.
2 Give me the heart to hear
Thy voice and will,
That without fault or fear
I may fulfill
Thy purpose with a glad and holy zest,
Like one who would not bring less than his best.
3 Give me the good stout arm
To shield the right,
And wield Thy sword of truth
With all my might,
That, in the warfare I must wage for Thee,
More than a victor I may ever be. ·
4 Christ of the Upward Way,
My Guide divine,
Where Thou hast set Thy feet
May I place mine;
And when Thy last call comes serene and clear,
Calm may my answer be, "Lord, I am here."
Amen. Scripture: Deuteronomy 31:6 Tune Title: SURSUM CORDA

Author: Harriet Oagood Munger Hymnal: The Hymnal #395 (1950) Meter: 8.5.8.3 Topics: Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 O my Father, I would know Thee
And Thy holy will;
From Thy fount my thirsty spirit
Daily fill.
2 I would turn my highest powers
Into service sweet;
For all ministry to others
Make me meet.
3 As the bird who scorns earth's sadness,
Mounting on the wing,
Would my soul, her fret o'ercoming,
Rise and sing.
4 Sharing thus the Master's spirit,
Following where He trod,
I would rise through joyous service
Unto God.
Amen. Tune Title: ST. HELEN'S

Go, Labor On: Spend, and Be Spent
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Hymnbook #283 (1955) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Life in Christ Discipleship and Service First Line: Go, labor on: spend and be spent Lyrics: 1 Go, labor on: spend, and be spent,
Thy joy to do the Father's will:
It is the way the Master went;
Should not the servant tread it still?
2 Go, labor on while it is day:
The world's dark night is hastening on;
Speed, speed thy work, cast sloth away;
It is not thus that souls are won.
3 Toil on, faint not, keep watch and pray,
Be wise the erring soul to win;
Go forth into the world's highway,
Compel the wanderer to come in.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 21:28 Tune Title: PENTECOST

So Let Our Lips and Lives Express
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Hymnbook #289 (1955) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Life in Christ Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 So let our lips and lives express
The holy gospel we profess;
So let our works and virtues shine,
To prove the doctrine all divine.
2 Thus shall we best proclaim abroad
The honors of our Saviour God,
When His salvation reigns within,
And grace subdues the power of sin.
3 Our flesh and sense must be denied,
Passion and envy, lust and pride;
While justice, temperance, truth, and love,
Our inward piety approve.
4 Religion bears our spirits up,
While we expect that blessed hope,
The bright appearance of the Lord,
And faith stands leaning on His word.
Amen. Scripture: Ephesians 4:1-2 Tune Title: HEBRON
So Let Our Lips and Lives Express
Come, Ye That Fear the Lord
Hymnal: The Hymnbook #296 (1955) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Life in Christ Discipleship and Service First Line: Come, ye that fear the Lord, and hear Lyrics: 1 Come, ye that fear the Lord, and hear
What He has done for me;
My cry for help is turned to praise,
For He has set me free.
Through pain and trouble Thou hast led,
And humbled all our pride,
But, in the end, to liberty
And wealth Thy hand did guide.
2 If in my heart I sin regard,
My prayer He will not hear;
But, truly, God has heard my voice,
My prayer has reached His ear.
O let the Lord, our gracious God,
Forever blessed be,
Who has not turned my prayer from Him,
Nor yet His grace from me.
3 Here in Thy house I give to Thee
The life that Thou dost bless,
And pay the solemn vows I made
When I was in distress.
O all ye peoples, bless our God,
Aloud proclaim His praise,
Who safely holds our soul in life,
And steadfast makes our ways.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 66:8-20 Tune Title: ANCYRA
Come, Ye That Fear the Lord
Dear Lord and Father of Mankind
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #358 (1989) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Topics: Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1. Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
forgive our foolish ways;
reclothe us in our rightful mind,
in purer lives thy service find,
in deeper reverence, praise.
2. In simple trust like theirs who heard,
beside the Syrian sea,
the gracious calling of the Lord,
let us, like them, without a word,
rise up and follow thee.
3. O sabbath rest by Galilee,
O calm of hills above,
where Jesus knelt to share with thee
the silence of eternity,
interpreted by love!
4. Drop thy still dews of quietness,
till all our strivings cease;
take from our souls the strain and stress,
and let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of thy peace.
5. Breathe through the heats of our desire
thy coolness and thy balm;
let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still, small voice of calm.
