Come, living God, when least expected
Author: Alan Gaunt (b. 1935) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 25:40 Lyrics: 1 Come, living God, when least expected,
when minds are dull and hearts are cold,
through sharpening word and warm affection
revealing truths as yet untold.
2 Break from the tomb in which we hide you
to speak again in startling ways;
break through the words in which we bind you
to resurrect our lifeless praise.
3 Come now, as once you came to Moses
within the bush alive with flame;
or to Elijah on the mountain,
by silence pressing home your claim.
4 So, let our minds be sharp to read you
in sight or sound or printed page,
and let us greet you in our neighbours,
in ardent youth or mellow age.
5 Then, through our gloom, your Son will meet us
as vivid truth and living Lord,
exploding doubt and disillusion
to scatter hope and joy abroad.
6 Then we will share his radiant brightness
and, blazing through the dread of night,
illuminate by love and reason,
for those in darkness, faith's delight. Topics: The Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit in the Church - Enlivening and Renewing the Church; God Presence of Used With Tune: SUNSET

Here Am I
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 3.7.6.5.3.7.6.5.3 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 25:31-46 First Line: Here am I, where underneath the bridges in our winter cities Lyrics: 1 Here am I,
where underneath the bridges
of our winter cities
homeless people sleep.
Here am I,
where in decaying houses
little children shiver,
crying at the cold.
Where are you?
2 Here am I,
with people in the lineup,
anxious for a handout,
aching for a job.
Here am I,
when pensioners and strikers
sing and march together,
wanting something new.
Where are you?
3 Here am I,
where two or three are gathered,
ready to be altered,
sharing wine and bread.
Here am I,
where those who hear the preaching
change their way of living,
find the way to life.
Where are you? Topics: Grace Social Holiness Used With Tune: STANISLAUS

Carol at the Manger
Author: Marty Haugen, 1950- Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 25:40 First Line: Holy Child within the manger Lyrics: 1 Holy Child within the manger,
long ago yet ever near;
come as friend to every stranger,
come as hope for every fear.
As you lived to heal the broken,
greet the outcast, free the bound,
as you taught us love unspoken,
teach us now where you are found.
2 Once again we tell the story--
how your love for us was shown,
when the image of your glory
wore an image like our own.
Come, enlighten with your wisdom,
come and fill us with your grace.
May the fire of your compassion
kindle every land and race.
3 Holy Child within the manger,
lead us ever in your way,
so we see in every stranger
how you come to us today.
In our lives and in our living
give us strength to live as you,
that our hearts might be forgiving
and our spirits strong and true. Used With Tune: JOYOUS LIGHT
