The Church of Christ in Every Age

Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #475 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: God's Church Mission and Witness Lyrics: 1 The church of Christ, in every age, beset by change but Spirit-led, must claim and test its heritage and keep on rising from the dead. 2 Across the world, across the street, the victims of injustice cry for shelter and for bread to eat, and never live until they die. 3 Then let the servant church arise, a caring church that longs to be a partner in Christ's sacrifice, and clothed in Christ's humanity. 4 For Christ alone, whose blood was shed, can cure the fever in our blood, and teach us how to share our bread and feed the starving multitude. 5 We have no mission but to serve in full obedience to our Lord: to care for all, without reserve, and spread Christ's liberating word.

The Church of God a kingdom is

Author: Lionel Muirhead, 1845-1925 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #483 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Church Its Mission and Unity Lyrics: 1 THE Church of God a kingdom is, Where Christ in power doth reign, Where spirits yearn till seen in bliss Their Lord shall come again. 2 Glad companies of saints possess This Church below, above; And God’s perpetual calm doth bless Their paradise of love. 3 An altar stands within the shrine Whereon, once sacrificed, Is set, immaculate, divine, The Lamb of God, the Christ. 4 There rich and poor, from countless lands, Praise Christ on mystic rood; There nations reach forth holy hands To take God’s holy food. 5 There pure life-giving streams o’erflow The sower’s garden-ground; And faith and hope fair blossoms show, And fruits of love abound. 6 O King, O Christ, this endless grace To us and all men bring, To see the vision of thy face In joy, O Christ, our King.

Author: Samuel Stone, 1839-1900 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #484 (1986) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Topics: The Church Its Mission and Unity Lyrics: 1 The Church's one foundation Is Jesus Christ, her Lord; She is his new creation By water and the word: From heaven he came and sought her To be his holy Bride, With his own blood he bought her, And for her life he died. 2 Elect from every nation, Yet one o'er all the earth, Her charter of salvation One Lord, one faith, one birth; One holy name she blesses, Partakes one holy food, And to one hope she presses With every grace endued. 3 *Though with a scornful wonder Men see her sore opprest, By schisms rent asunder, By heresies distrest, Yet saints their watch are keeping, Their cry goes up, 'How long?' And soon the night of weeping Shall be the morn of song. 4 'Mid toil, and tribulation, And tumult of her war, She waits the consummation Of peace for evermore; Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest, And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest. 5 Yet she on earth hath union With God the Three in One, And mystic sweet communion With those whose rest is won: O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we Like them, the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with thee. Languages: English Tune Title: SOMERSTOWN

Lord of the Church, we pray for our renewing

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #497 (2013) Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Topics: The Church's Ministry and Mission Lyrics: 1 Lord of the Church, we pray for our renewing: Christ over all, our undivided aim. Fire of the Spirit, burn for our enduing, wind of the Spirit, fan the living flame! We turn to Christ amid our fear and failing, the will that lacks the courage to be free, the weary labours, all but unavailing, to bring us nearer what a church should be. 2 Lord of the Church, we seek a Father's blessing, a true repentance and a faith restored, a swift obedience and a new possessing, filled with the Holy Spirit of the Lord! We turn to Christ from all our restless striving, unnumbered voices with a single prayer: the living water for our souls' reviving, in Christ to live, and love and serve and care. 3 Lord of the Church, we long for our uniting, true to one calling, by one vision stirred; one cross proclaiming and one creed reciting, one in the truth of Jesus and his word. So lead us on; till toil and trouble ended, one Church triumphant one new song shall sing, to praise his glory, risen and ascended, Christ over all, the everlasting King!
