How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord
Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Voices United #504 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord,
when once we heed your call:
to live according to your word,
and daily learn, refreshed, restored,
that you are over all
and will not let us fall.
2 But if, forgetful, we should find
your yoke is hard to bear,
if worldly pressures fray the mind
and love itself cannot unwind
its tangled skein of care:
our inward life repair.
3 We mark your saints, how they become
in hindrances more sure,
whose joyful virtues put to shame
the casual way we wear your name,
and by our faults obscure
your power to cleanse and cure.
4 In what you give us, here, to do,
together or alone,
in old routines and ventures new,
may we not cease to look to you,
the cross you hung upon --
all you endeavoured done.

How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord
Christ Be the Way in Whom We Walk
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Hymnal: Christian Worship #516 (2021) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Lyrics: 1 Christ be the way in whom we walk
the pilgrim path we tread;
companion, teacher, guide and goal,
the guardian of the ransomed soul,
the first-born from the dead,
the first-born from the dear.
2 Christ be the truth in whom we trust
when all seems shifting sand;
to strengthen faith and comfort grief,
to still the storms of unbelief,
the rock on which we stand,
the rock on which we stand.
3 Christ be the life in whom we live,
in whom all journeys end;
the way, the truth, the life indeed,
the living Savior sinners need,
and our unfailing friend,
and our unfailing friend. Topics: Redeemer Scripture: John 14:6 Languages: English Tune Title: REPTON

He Comes to Us as One Unknown
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Hymnal: Worship (3rd ed.) #573 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 with repeat Lyrics: 1 He comes to us as one unknown,
A breath unseen, unheard;
As though within a heart of stone,
Or shriveled seed in darkness sown,
A pulse of being stirred.
A pulse of being stirred.
2 He comes when souls in silence lie
And thoughts of day depart;
Half-seen upon the inward eye,
A falling star across the sky
Of night within the heart.
Of night within the heart.
3 He comes to us in sound of seas,
The ocean's fume and foam;
Yet small and still upon the breeze,
A wind that stirs the tops of trees,
A voice to call us home.
A voice to call us home.
4 He comes in love as once he came
By flesh and blood and birth;
To bear within our mortal frame
A life, a death, a saving Name
For ev'ry child of earth.
For ev'ry child of earth.
5 He comes in truth when faith is grown;
Believed, obeyed, adored:
The Christ in all the scriptures shown,
As yet unseen, but not unknown,
Our Savior and our Lord.
Our Savior and our Lord. Topics: Pentecost; Funeral; Death; Faith; Guidance; Holy Name; Jesus Christ; Suffering; Teaching; Truth; Wisdom Scripture: 1 Kings 19 Languages: English Tune Title: REPTON

How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord
Dear Father, Lord of humankind
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-92 Hymnal: Together in Song #598 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Dear Father, Lord of humankind,
forgive our foolish ways;
reclothe us in our rightful mind:
in purer lives thy service find,
in deeper reverence, praise,
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,
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,
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,
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,
O still small voice of calm.
