Christ, from whom all blessings flow
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 102 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:24-31 Lyrics: 1 Christ, from whom all blessings flow,
perfecting the saints below,
hear us, who your nature share,
who your mystic body are.
2 Join us, in one spirit join,
grant us still your help divine;
still for more on you we call,
you, O Christ, fill all in all.
3 Move, and animate, and guide:
various gifts to each divide;
placed according to your will,
let us all our work fulfil;
4 freely may we all agree,
touched with loving sympathy;
kindly for each other care;
every member feel its share.
5 Love, like death, has all destroyed,
rendered all distinctions void;
names, and sects, and parties fall;
you, O Christ, are all in all. Topics: Anniversary of a Church; Christian Community; Consummation in Christ; Gifts of the Holy Spirit; Ministry of God's People; Mystery of God's Love; Our Love to Others; People of God; Unity of the Church Used With Tune: VIENNA

Not Alone for Mighty Empire
Author: William P. Merrill Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 85 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:25 Lyrics: 1 Not alone for mighty empire
Stretching far o'er land and sea;
Not alone for bounteous harvests,
Lift we up our hearts to Thee.
Standing in the living present,
Memory and hope between,
Lord, we would with deep thanksgiving
Praise Thee most for things unseen.
2 Not for battleship and fortress,
Not for conquests of the sword;
But for conquests of the spirit
Give we thanks to Thee, O Lord;
For the heritage of freedom,
For the home, the church, the school;
For the open door to manhood
In a land the people rule.
3 For the armies of the faithful,
Souls that passed and left no name;
For the glory that illumines
Patriot lives of deathless fame;
For our prophets and apostles,
Loyal to the living Word;
For all heroes of the spirit,
Give we thanks to Thee, O Lord.
Amen. Topics: Anniversaries; Brotherhood Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL

Forward through the Ages
Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer Meter: 6.5.6.5 D with refrain Appears in 83 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12 Lyrics: 1 Forward through the ages, in unbroken line,
move the faithful spirits at the call divine;
Gifts in differing measure, hearts of one accord,
manifold the service, one the sure reward.
Refrain:
Forward through the ages, in unbroken line,
Move the faithful spirits at the call divine.
2 Wide grows God's dominion,
reign of love and peace;
for it we must labor, till all strivings cease.
Prophets have proclaimed it, teachers testified,
poets sung its glory, martyrs for it died. [Refrain]
3 Not alone we conquer, not alone we fall;
in each loss or triumph, lose or triumph all.
Bound by God's far purpose in one living whole,
move we on together to the shining goal. [Refrain]

Thou, Who at Thy First Eucharist
Author: William Harry Turton (1856-1938) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 76 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:12-31 First Line: Thou, who at thy first eucharist pray Lyrics: 1 Thou, who at thy first eucharist didst pray
that all thy church might be for ever one,
grant us at every eucharist to say
with longing heart and soul, "Thy will be done."
O may we all one bread, one body be,
through this blest sacrament of unity.
2 For all thy church, O Lord, we intercede;
make thou our sad divisions soon to cease;
draw us the nearer each to each, we plead,
by drawing all to thee, O Prince of Peace.
Thus may we all one bread, one body be,
through this blest sacrament of unity.
3 So, Lord, at length when sacraments shall cease,
may we be one with all thy church above,
one with thy saints in one unbroken peace,
one with thy saints in one unbounded love;
more blessed still, in peace and love to be
one with the Trinity in Unity.

Lord, you give the great commission
Author: Jeffery W. Rowthorn (b. 1934) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 43 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12 Lyrics: 1 Lord, you give the great commission:
'Heal the sick and preach the word.'
Lest the Church neglect its mission,
and the gospel go unheard,
help us witness to your purpose
with renewed integrity;
with the Spirit's gifts empower us
for the work of ministry.
2 Lord, you call us to your service:
'In my name baptize and teach.'
That the world may trust your promise,
life abundant meant for each,
give us all new fervour, draw us
closer in community;
with the Spirit's gifts empower us
for the work of ministry.
3 Lord, you make the common holy:
'This my body, this my blood.'
Let us all, for earth's true glory,
daily lift life heavenward,
asking that the world around us
share your children's liberty;
with the Spirit's gifts empower us
for the work of ministry.
4 Lord, you show us love's true measure;
'Father, what they do, forgive.'
Yet we hoard as private treasure
all that you so freely give.
May your care and mercy lead us
to a just society;
with the Spirit's gifts empower us
for the work of ministry.
5 Lord, you bless with words assuring:
'I am with you to the end.'
Faith and hope and love restoring,
may we serve as you intend,
and, amid the cares that claim us,
hold in mind eternity;
with the Spirit's gifts empower us
for the work of ministry.
