As We Gather at Your Table
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Hymnal: VU1996 #457 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Tune Title: BEACH SPRING Lyrics: 1 As we gather at your table,
as we listen to your word,
help us know, O God, your presence;
let our hearts and minds be stirred.
Nourish us with sacred story
till we claim it as our own;
teach us through this holy banquet
how to make Love’s victory known.
2 Turn our worship into witness
in the sacrament of life;
send us forth to love and serve you,
bringing peace where there is strife.
Give us, Christ, your great compassion
to forgive as you forgave;
may we still behold your image
in the world you died to save.
3 Gracious Spirit, help us summon
other guests to share that feast
where triumphant Love will welcome
those who had been last and least.
There no more will envy blind us
nor will pride our peace destroy,
as we join with saints and angels
to repeat the sounding joy. Topics: The Church at Worship Holy Communion; liturgical Communion Songs; Christian Experience; Justice; Service Music Gathering, Call to Worship, Greeting; Witness; Proper 23 Year A Languages: English

Today I Live
Author: Fred Kaan Hymnal: VU1996 #493 (1996) Meter: 10.11.10.11 Tune Title: BELLEGARDE First Line: Today I live, but once shall come my death Lyrics: 1 Today I live, but once shall come my death;
one day shall still my laughter and my crying,
bring to a halt my heartbeat and my breath:
O, give me faith for living and for dying.
2 How I shall die, or when, I do not know,
nor where, for endless is the world's horizon:
but save me, God, from thoughts that lay me low,
from morbid fears that freeze my powers of reason.
3 When earthly life shall close, as close it must,
let Jesus be my brother and my merit.
Let me without regret recall the past
then, then, into your hands commit my spirit.
4 Meanwhile I live and move and I am glad,
enjoy this life and all its interweaving;
each given day, as I take up the thread,
let love suggest my mode, my mood of living.

Come, Let Us to the God of Love
Author: John Morison Hymnal: VU1996 #653 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: BELMONT Lyrics: 1 Come, let us to the God of love
with contrite hearts return:
our God is gracious, nor will leave
the desolate to mourn.
2 God's voice commands the tempest forth,
and stills the stormy wave;
and though God's arm be strong to smite,
'tis also strong to save.
3 Long has the night of sorrow reigned;
the dawn shall bring us light;
God shall appear, and we shall rise
with gladness at that sight.
4 As dew upon the tender herb
diffusing fragrance round,
as showers that usher in the spring
and cheer the thirsty ground,
5 so shall God's presence bless our souls
and shed a joyful light;
that hallowed morn shall chase away
the sorrows of the night.
