God Is Here
Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Voices United #389 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Church at Worship Opening and Morning Hymns First Line: God is here! As we your people Lyrics: 1 God is here! As we your people
meet to offer praise and prayer,
may we find in fuller measure
what it is in Christ we share.
Here, as in the world around us,
all our varied skills and arts
wait the coming of the Spirit
into open minds and hearts.
2 Here are symbols to remind us
of our lifelong need of grace;
here are table, font, and pulpit;
here the cross has central place.
Here in honesty of preaching,
here in silence, as in speech,
here, in newness and renewal,
God the Spirit comes to each.
3 Here our children find a welcome
in the Shepherd's flock and fold;
here as bread and wine are taken,
Christ sustains us, as of old.
Here the servants of the Servant
seek in worship to explore
what it means in daily living
to believe and to adore.
4 God of all, of church and kingdom,
in an age of change and doubt
keep us faithful to the gospel;
help us work your purpose out.
Here, in this day's dedication,
all we have to give, receive;
we, who cannot live without you,
we adore you! We believe! Languages: English Tune Title: BLAENWERN
God Is Here
How Great the Mystery of Faith
Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Voices United #390 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Church at Worship Opening and Morning Hymns Lyrics: 1 How great the mystery of faith,
how deep the purposes of God,
in birth and ageing, life and death,
unveiled, yet never understood!
2 Attracted by life's deepest claim
we wait, assembled in this place,
with needs and hopes we cannot name,
athirst for healing, truth, and grace.
3 The best that we can do and say,
the utmost care of skill and art,
are sweepers of the Spirit's way
to reach the depths of every heart.
4 Come, walk among us, Holy Friend,
as all are gathered and prepared,
that scattered lives may meet and mend
through open Word and table shared. Tune Title: OTTERSPOOR
How Great the Mystery of Faith
God, Reveal Your Presence
Author: Gerhardt Tersteegen; Frederick William Foster; John Miller; William Mercer Hymnal: Voices United #391 (1996) Topics: The Church at Worship Opening and Morning Hymns Lyrics: 1 God, reveal your presence:
as we now adore you
and with awe appear before you.
Here in this your temple:
all within keep silence,
gather now with deepest reverence.
You alone
God we own,
you, our God and Saviour:
praise your name for ever.
2 God, reveal your presence:
hear the harps resounding;
see the crowds the throne surrounding.
"Holy, holy, holy!"
Hear the hymn ascending,
angels, saints, their voices blending.
Bow your ear
to us here;
hearken, O Lord Jesus,
to our humble praises.
3 O great Fount of blessing,
purify my spirit,
trusting only in your merit;
like the holy angels
gathered all before you,
may I ceaselessly adore you.
Let your will
ever still
rule your church terrestrial,
as the hosts celestial. Languages: English Tune Title: ARNSBERG
