Jesus, You Once Called Disciples

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Songs of Grace #14 (2009) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: Jesus, you once called disciples, choosing twelve to follow you Lyrics: Jesus, you once called disciples, choosing twelve to follow you: Simon (also known as Peter), Andrew and Bartholomew, Philip, Thomas, James, and Matthew, Simon, Thaddaeus, John, and James– Then there was the one called Judas. These were your disciples' names. Women, too, were your disciples, sitting, learning, at your feet. Mary knew your word was precious, even more than food to eat. Martha trusted in your power when her brother Laz'rus died. Women shared your journey, Lord, and stayed when you were crucified. Lord, so many heard and followed, like the woman at the well. Meeting you, the living water, she sought others she could tell. Like the boy with loaves and fishes, like Zacchaeus in the tree, Many gladly heard your message; many shared your ministry. Jesus, still you call your people, "Come and follow me today!" Some, like Paul, feel sudden wonder; some are brought up in your way. Lord, no matter how we meet you, by your Spirit, make us new. May we know your living presence; may we daily follow you. Topics: Call/Vocation; Jesus Christ Ministry Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:5 Languages: English Tune Title: IN BABILONE

Where is Bread?

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Songs of Grace #22b (2009) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: "Where is bread?" the great crowd murmured-- Lyrics: “Where is bread?” the great crowd murmured— Thousands strong, yet all in need. “Where is bread?” your people wondered, Faced with such a crowd to feed. Who, Lord Jesus, could have guessed it? One small boy brought food to share. Taking what he gave, you blessed it; All were fed, with much to spare. Where is bread? We know their yearning; Every day, we wish for more. God, in time, we’re slowly learning: All we own can make us poor. Our possessions can possess us, Leaving hunger deep inside. Christ our Bread, come now and bless us; At your feast, we’re satisfied. “Where is bread?” the call is rising; Millions cry who must be fed. God, your answer seems surprising: “You, my Church, you give them bread.” Bread to fill each hungry spirit, Bread for hungry stomachs, too! Give us bread and help us share it. Richly blest, may we serve you. Topics: Eucharist/Lord's Supper; Jesus Christ; Justice Scripture: John 6:1-15 Languages: English Tune Title: IN BABILONE

Glorious Things Are Sung of Zion

Author: William W. Phelps, 1792–1872 Hymnal: Hymns of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints #48 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1. Glorious things are sung of Zion, Enoch’s city seen of old, Where the righteous, being perfect, Walked with God in streets of gold. Love and virtue, faith and wisdom, Grace and gifts were all combined. As himself each loved his neighbor; All were one in heart and mind. 2. There they shunn’d the pow’r of Satan And observed celestial laws; For in Adam-ondi-Ahman Zion rose where Eden was. When beyond the pow’r of evil, So that none could covet wealth, One continual feast of blessings Crown’d their days with peace and health. 3. Then the tow’rs of Zion glittered Like the sun in yonder skies, And the wicked stood and trembled, Filled with wonder and surprise. Then their faith and works were perfect; Lo, they followed their great Head! So the city went to heaven, And the world said, “Zion’s fled!” 4. When the Lord returns with Zion, And we hear the watchman cry, Then we’ll surely be united, And we’ll all see eye to eye. Then we’ll mingle with the angels, And the Lord will bless his own. Then the earth will be as Eden, And we’ll know as we are known.

Now we honor faithful servants who, with joy, look back and see Years of growing in your presence, lives of fruitful ministry. Thank you, Lord, for ones who teach us what has brought them to this place! May their faith-filled witness reach us; may we glimpse in them your grace. Strong in you, their strength uplifts us from our birth until life’s end; Spirit-filled, they give us gifts, as prophet, mentor, guide and friend. Christ our Lord, you walk beside us, giving daily work to do; Years go by and still you guide us as we seek to follow you. If our sight fails, weak hands tremble, minds forget the things we’ve known, Lord, we trust that you’ll remember, hold us close, and see us home.

God, You Give Us Recreation

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Songs of Grace #67 (2009) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: God, you give us recreation, rest and play when work is through Lyrics: God, you give us recreation, rest and play when work is through, Game and sport and celebration, times that challenge and renew. In the days we spend together, in the feasts that we prepare, In the times of joy and laughter, may we know your loving care. Yet, O Lord, we see you crying for the ones who know no rest, For your children, hungry, dying, for the homeless and oppressed. May we, as your sons and daughters, share with open heart and hand, Till your justice flows like water to the poor throughout the land. Bless, O Christ, our gifts of caring, for we know without a doubt: Soup and bread are made for sharing, hands are made for reaching out. Even in our times of playing, may we keep the vision clear: Keep us serving, loving, praying, welcoming your kingdom here.
