Great God, Your Love Has Called Us
Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Hymnal: WOV #666 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 First Line: Great God, your love has called us here Lyrics: 1 Great God, your love has called us here
as we, by love, for love were made.
Your living likeness still we bear,
though marred, dishonored, disobeyed.
We come, with all our heart and mind
your call to hear, your love to find.
2 We come with self-inflicted pains
of broken trust and chosen wrong,
half-free, half-bound by inner chains,
by social forces swept along,
by powers and systems close confined,
yet seeking hope for humankind.
3 Great God, in Christ you call our name
and then receive us as your own,
not through some merit, right or claim,
but by your gracious love alone.
We strain to glimpse your mercy seat
and find you kneeling at our feet.
4 Then take the towel, and break the bread,
and humble us, and call us friends.
Suffer and serve till all are fed,
and show how grandly love intends
to work till all creation sings,
to fill all worlds, to crown all things.
5 Great God, in Christ you set us free
your life to live, your joy to share.
Give us your Spirit's liberty
to turn from guilt and dull despair
and offer all that faith can do
while love is making all things new.

Come Away to the Skies
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: WOV #669 (1995) Meter: 6.6.9.6.6.9 Lyrics: 1 Come away to the skies, my belovèd, arise
And rejoice in the day thou wast born;
On this festival day, come exulting away,
And with singing to Zion return.
2 For thy glory we were first created to share,
Both the nature and kingdom divine,
Now created again that our lives may remain
Throughout time and eternity Thine.
3 We with thanks do approve the design
Of that love that hath joined us to Jesus’ Name;
Now united in heart, let us never more part,
Till we meet at the feast of the Lamb.
4 Hallelujah! we sing to our Father and King,
And our rapturous praises repeat:
To the Lamb that was slain, Hallelujah again!
Sing all Heaven and fall at His feet!

Let my people go.

Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt's land,
tell old Pharaoh: Let my people go.

Let my people go,

Let my people go. (Refrain)

let my people go. (Refrain)

Let my people go,
at God's command it did divide,
Let my people go. (Refrain)
5 When they had reached the other shore,
Let my people go,
they sang the song of triumph o'er,
Let my people go. (Refrain)
6 O let us all from bondage flee,
Let my people go,
and let us all in Christ be free,
Let my people go. (Refrain)

Christ Is Risen! Shout Hosanna!
Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Hymnal: WOV #672 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Christ is risen! Shout hosanna!
Celebrate this day of days!
Christ is risen! Hush in wonder:
all creation is amazed.
In the desert all-surrounding,
see, a spreading tree has grown.
Healing leaves of grace abounding
bring a taste of love unknown.
2 Christ is risen! Raise your spirits
from the caverns of despair.
Walk with gladness in the morning.
See what love can do and dare.
Drink the wine of resurrection.
Not a servant, but a friend,
Jesus is our strong companion.
Joy and peace shall never end.
3 Christ is risen! Earth and heaven
nevermore shall be the same.
Break the bread of new creation
where the world is still in pain.
Tell its grim, demonic chorus:
"Christ is risen! Get you gone!"
God the first and last is with us.
Sing hosanna, ev'ryone! Topics: Christian Hope; Easter Scripture: Luke 24:36-49 Languages: English Tune Title: JACKSON NEW

We Walk by Faith and Not by Sight
Author: Henry Alford. 1810-1871 Hymnal: WOV #675 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 We walk by faith, and not by sight;
No gracious words draw near,
O Christ , Who spoke as none e’er spoke;
"My preace be with you here."
2 We may not touch Your hands and side,
Nor follow where You trod;
But in your promise we rejoice,
And cry, “My Lord and God!”
3 Help then, O Lord, our unbelief;
And may our faith abound
To call on You when You are near,
And seek where You are found.
4 That, when our life of faith is done,
In realms of clearer light
We may behold You as You are,
With full and endless sight.
