We Give Thee but Thine Own

Author: William W. How, 1823-1897 Hymnal: WAR2003 #688 (2003) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 We give thee but thine own, whate’er the gift may be: all that we have is thine alone, a trust, O Lord, from thee. 2 May we thy bounties thus as stewards true receive, and gladly, as thou blessest us, to thee our first-fruits give. 3 To comfort and to bless, to find a balm for woe, to tend the lone and fatherless is angels’ work below. 4 The captive to relieve, to God the lost to bring, to teach the way of life and peace—- it is a Christ-like thing. 5 And we believe thy word, though dim our faith may be: whate’er for thine we do, O Lord, we do it unto thee.

We Have Come at Christ's Own Bidding

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., 1944- Hymnal: WAR2003 #245 (2003) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 We have come at Christ’s own bidding to this high and holy place, where we wait with hope and longing for some token of God’s grace. Here we pray for new assurance that our faith is not in vain, searching like those first disciples for a sign both clear and plain. 2 Light breaks through out clouds and shadows, splendor bathes the flesh-joined Word, Moses and Elijah marvel as the heavenly voice is heard. Eyes and hearts behold with wonder how the Law and Prophets meet: Christ with garments drenched in brightness, stands transfigured and complete. 3 Strengthened by this glimpse of glory, fearful lest our faith decline, we, like Peter, find it tempting to remain and build a shrine. But true worship gives us courage to proclaim what we profess, that our daily lives may prove us people of the God we bless. Scripture: Luke 9:28-36 Languages: English Tune Title: PLEADING SAVIOR

We Meet as Friends at Table

Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Hymnal: WAR2003 #704 (2003) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 We meet as friends at table, to listen, and be heard, united by the Spirit, attentive to the Word. Through prayer and conversation we tune our varied views to Christ, whose love has made us the bearers of good news. 2 With food and drink for sharing the table soon is spread. The freedom meal of Jesus is crowned with wine and bread, and all, without exception, may eat, and speak, and stay, for this is Christ's own table where none are turned away. 3 We share our lives and longings, and when the meal is done we pray as friends at table, and promise to be one. To Christ, and to each other, we cheerfully belong: apart, our hope is fruitless; together, we are strong. 4 Fulfilled, and glad to follow wherever Christ may lead, we journey from the table to love a world in need with patience, truth and kindness, that justice may increase and all may sit at table in freedom, joy, and peace.

You live in a palace, exist in a shack. We see you, the gardener, a tree on your back. 2 In millions alive, away and abroad, involved in our life, you live down the road. Imprisoned in systems, you long to be free. We witness you, Jesus, still bearing your tree. 3 We hear you, O *Man, in agony cry; for freedom you march, in riots you die. Your face in the papers we read and we see. The tree must be planted by human decree. 4 You choose to be made at one with the earth; the dark of the grave prepares for your birth. Your death is your rising, creative your word: the tree springs to life and our hope is restored! * or Christ Scripture: Matthew 25:31-40 Languages: English Tune Title: STANLEY BEACH
