wind-sped flame and hovering dove,
Breath of life and voice of prophets,
sign of blessing, power of love:
Give to those who lead your people
fresh anointing of your grace;
Send them forth as bold apostles
to your church in every place.
2 Christ our Savior, sovereign, shepherd,
Word made flesh, love crucified,
Teacher, healer, suffering servant,
friend of sinners, foe of pride:
In your tending may all pastors
learn and live a shepherd's care;
Grant them courage and compassion
shown through word and deed and prayer.
3 Great Creator, life-bestower,
truth beyond all thought's recall,
Fount of wisdom, womb of mercy,
giving and forgiving all:
as you know our strength and weakness,
so may those the church exalts
Oversee its life steadfastly,
yet not overlook its faults.
4 Triune God, mysterious being,
undivided and diverse,
Deeper than our minds can fathom,
greater than our creeds rehearse:
Help us in our varied callings
your full image to proclaim,
That our ministries uniting
may give glory to your name. Topics: Commissioning; Ordination; Installation; Holy Spirit Power of; Installations; Ministry; Ordination; The Holy Trinity Scripture: John 10:11-16 Languages: English Tune Title: HYFRYDOL

Though the horizon's bend conceals the way ahead,

the flames of fear and hate are evil's flags unfurled;
Yet still the Spirit's power in wind and fire of love
pours gifts upon the church for service in this hour.

where hurt finds healing love, our penitence your grace;
Where God in Trinity is bridge from death to life,
from sin to holiness, time to eternity. Topics: Church Anniversaries and Dedications; Church Nature and Unity; Consecration; Year A Easter 4; Year A Pentecost; Year B Pentecost; Year C Pentecost Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-2 Languages: English Tune Title: LEONI

so that we may be moved
in living situations
to do the truth in love;
To practice your acceptance,
until we know by heart
the table of forgiveness
and laughter's healing art.

for righteousness and bread,
Bring us new eyes for seeing,
new hands for holding on:

But we shall still be joined in heart,
and hope to meet again.

In Christ There Is No East or West
Author: John Oxenham; Laurence Hull Stookey Hymnal: NCH1995 #394 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 In Christ there is no East or West,
in Christ no South or North;
But one community of love
throughout the whole wide earth.
2 In Christ shall true hearts everywhere
their high communion find;
God's service is the golden cord
close-binding humankind.
3 In Christ is neither Jew nor Greek,
and neither slave nor free;
For men and women live in God,
and all are kin to me.
4 In Christ now meet both East and West,
in Christ meet South and North;
One joyous, true community
throughout the whole wide earth. Topics: Christian unity; Church Nature and Unity; Close of Worship; Year B Proper 5; Year C Epiphany 3; Year C Proper 7 Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:13 Languages: English Tune Title: McKEE

Shadow and Substance
Author: Dan Damon Hymnal: NCH1995 #398 (1995) Meter: 5.6.10 D Lyrics: 1 Shadow and substance,
wonder and mystery,
spell-binding spinner of atoms and earth;
Soul of the cosmos,
person and energy,
source of our being: we sing of your worth.
2 We are your image,
formed in community;
sisters and brothers of Adam and Eve.
You gave us color,
custom and history;
teach us to honor what others receive.
3 Naming the nameless
Spirit of unity,
scanning the heavens for signs of your care;
God of the ages,
give us humility;
guide us to mystical union in prayer. Topics: Christian unity; God Guidance of; God Providence and Goodness of; Year A Visitation; Year B Visitation; Year C Visitation Scripture: Genesis 1:26-27 Languages: English Tune Title: TWILIGHT

When Minds and Bodies Meet as One
Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: NCH1995 #399 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Lyrics: 1 When minds and bodies meet as one
and find their true affinity,
we join the dance in God begun
and move within the Trinity,
so praise the good that's seen and done
in loving, giving unity, revealing God,
forever One, whose nature is Community.
2 When leaders meet with angry sound,
yet bridle their hostility,
to bargain for a common ground,
and end with unanimity,
so glad for all the hope that's won
in every gleam of unity, revealing God,
forever One, whose nature is Community.
3 When teamwork serves a common aim,
and players move in sympathy,
the flowing rhythm of the game
is beauty in simplicity,
so praise the good that's seen and done
in swiftly moving unity, revealing God,
forever One, whose nature is Community.
4 When people feel the lashing claws
of greed and inhumanity,
yet struggle in a rightful cause
with caring solidarity,
be glad for all the hope that's won
in freedom-loving unity, revealing God,
forever One, whose nature is Community.
5 In Christ we come to break and bless
the bread of new society,
created for togetherness,
from infinite variety,
so praise the good that's seen and done
in Spirit-given unity, revealing God,
forever One, whose nature is Community.

Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation
Author: Thomas H. Troeger; John Mason Neale Hymnal: NCH1995 #400 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Christ is made the sure foundation,
Christ the head and cornerstone,
chosen of our Go, and precious,
binding all the Church in one;
Holy Zion's help for ever,
and our confidence alone.
2 To this temple, where we call you,
come, O God of Hosts, today!
With your constant, loving kindness
hear your people as they pray.
Give your fullest benediction:
grace to follow Christ the Way.
3 Here renew your servants' vision,
that by faith they may attain
peace and hope, renewed compassion,
strength to comfort those in pain,
Tears and grief transformed to gladness
in your everlasting reign.
