Come, Celebrate the Call of God

Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, celebrate the call of God that wakens and renews, and chooses from us, for our good, the bringers of good news. The Spirit's blessing all ordains to show what God has done, yet brings to focus and contains the many in the one. 2 A chosen one today replies, and fit and ready stands. *Her calling now we recognize with prayer and loving hands. A servant leader, truthful friend, we gladly will receive, to stir and comfort, shake and mend, be glad with us, and grieve. 3 Great Spirit, give *her word and breath in Christ to live and speak, and shield against the powers of death the outcast and the weak, *her flag of faith, above defeats, in heaven's breeze unfurled, as all her deepest gladness meets the hunger of the world. *for her, read him when appropriate Topics: God's Church Ministry; Ministry; Ordination Used With Tune: ALIDA'S TUNE

Your Love, O God

Author: Anders Frostenson; Fred Kaan Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: Your love, O God, is broad like beach and meadow Lyrics: 1 Your love, O God, is broad like beach and meadow, wide as the wind, and our eternal home. You leave us free to seek you or reject you, you give us room to answer "yes" or "no." 2 We long for freedom where our truest being is given hope and courage to unfold. We seek in freedom space and scope for dreaming, and look for ground where trees and plants can grow. 3 But there are walls that keep us all divided; we fence each other in with hate and war. Fear is the bricks and mortar of our prison, our pride of self, the prison coat we wear. 4 O judge us, God, and in your judgment free us, and set our feet in freedom's open space; take us as far as your compassion wanders among the children of the human race.
