God Is Here! As We His People

Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 47 hymnals Scripture: John 13:12-17 Lyrics: 1 God is here! As we his people, Meet to offer praise and prayer, May we find in fuller measure What it is in Christ we share: Here, as in the world around us, All our varied skills and arts Wait the coming of his Spirit Into open minds and hearts. 2 Here are symbols to remind us Of our lifelong need of grace; Here are table, font and pulpit, Here the cross has central place: Here in honesty of preaching, Here in silence as in speech, Here in newness and renewal God the Spirit comes to each. 3 Here our children find a welcome In the Shepherd's flock and fold; Here, as bread and wine are taken, Christ sustains us as of old: Here the servants of the Servant Seek in worship to explore What it means in daily living To believe and to adore. 4 Lord of all, of church and kingdom, In an age of change and doubt, Keep us faithful to the gospel, Help us work your purpose out: Here, in this day's dedication, All we have to give, receive; We who cannot live without you, We adore you! We believe!

Christ our example

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 45 hymnals Scripture: John 13:15 First Line: Whene'er the angry passions rise Lyrics: 1 Whene'er the angry passions rise, And tempt our thoughts and tongues to strife, To Jesus let us lift our eyes, Bright pattern of the Christian life1 2 See how benevolent and kind! How mild! how ready to forgive! Be this the temper of our mind, And these the rules by which we live. 3 To do his heavenly Father's will, Was his employment and delight; Humility and holy zeal Shone through his life divinely bright! 4 Dispensing good where'er he came, The labors of his life were love; If we regard the Saviour's name, Let his divine example move. 5 But ah how blind! how weak we are! How frail! how apt to turn aside! Lord, we depend upon thy care, And ask thy spirit for our guide. 6 Thy fair example may we trace, To teach us what we ought to be; Make us by thy transforming grace, Dear Saviour, daily more like thee.
