As a Mother Holds Her Baby
Author: John T. Hicks Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #659 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Christian Education and Nurture Lyrics: 1 As a mother holds her baby,
gazing in her child's eyes
with a look of deep connection,
pond'ring still unbroken ties,
so God looks into our faces
with a gaze so close and calm,
holding us against the body
out of which our life has come.
2 As a mother feeds her baby,
with the milk from her own breast,
giving nourishment and nurture,
loving touch and calming rest,
so God feeds us through communion,
holy presence, blessed food,
loving touch of the Eternal;
hope and wonder are renewed.
3 As a mother feels the heart-beat
of her baby held so near,
and is moved to awe and laughter
at this infant life so dear,
so in Christ God feels our heart-beat,
enters in our joy and fear;
gives us brad and wine and mem'ry
that our vision may be clear.
4 As a mother looks with favor
on the new life in her arms,
searching ev'ry small expression,
sav'ring moments filled with charm,
so God smiles on ev'ry person,
so God takes such keen delight
in the praises that we offer;
we are precious in God's sight.

How Blest Are the People
Author: Barbara Woollett Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #706 (1990) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Christian Education First Line: How blest are the people possessing true peace Lyrics: 1 How blest are the people possessing truce peace,
in humble repentance sad hearts find release;
Christ's death has accomplished forgiveness within,
his goodness a garment to cover their sin.

they know that the Lord is a safe hiding place;
his strength their protection when troubles are long,
his power in deliverance the theme of their song.
3 How blest are the people desiring to learn,
who pray God will guide them his ways to discern;
he uses their trials his kindness to prove,
surrounding them daily with mercy and love.

who live by the Spirit of their risen Lord;
his indwelling presence their heaven begun,
and joyful their praises to God, Three-in-One! Scripture: Psalm 32 Languages: English Tune Title: LOVE TO CHRIST

Lord, You Give the Great Commission
Author: Jeffery Rowthorn Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #715 (1990) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Christian Education Refrain First Line: With the Spirit's gifts empower us Lyrics: 1 Lord, you give the great commission:
"Heal the sick and preach the word."
Lest the church neglect its mission
and the gospel go unheard,
help us witness to your purpose
with renewed integrity:
With the Spirit's gifts empower
us for the work of ministry.
2 Lord, you call us to your service:
"In my name baptize and teach."
That the world may trust your promise,
life abundant meant for each,
give us all new fervor, draw us
closer in community:
With the Spirit's gifts empower
us for the work of ministry.
3 Lord, you make the common holy:
"This my body, this my blood."
Let us all, for earth's true glory,
daily lift life heavenward,
asking that the world around us
share your children's liberty:
With the Spirit's gifts empower
us for the work of ministry.
4 Lord, you show us love's true measure:
"Father, what they do, forgive."
Yet we hoard as private treasure
all that you so freely give.
May your care and mercy lead us
to a just society:
With the Spirit's gifts empower
us for the work of ministry.
5 Lord, you bless with words assuring:
"I am with you to the end."
Faith and hope and love restoring,
may we serve as you intend,
and, amid the cares that claim us,
hold in mind eternity:
With the Spirit's gifts empower
us for the work of ministry.

Author: Clement of Alexandria; Henry M. Dexter Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #117 (1961) Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Topics: Christian Education Lyrics: 1 Shepherd of tender youth,
Guiding in love and truth
Through devious ways:
Christ, our triumphant King,
We come thy Name to sing;
Hither our children bring,
To shout thy praise.
2 Thou art our holy Lord,
The all-subduing Word,
Healer of strife:
Thou didst thyself abase,
That from sin's deep disgrace
Thou mightest save our race,
And give us life.
3 Thou art the Great High Priest,
Thou hast prepared the feast
Of heav'nly love:
While in our mortal pain,
None calls on thee in vain:
Help thou dost not disdain,
Help from above.
4 Ever be thou our Guide,
Our Shepherd and our Pride,
Our Staff and Song:
Jesus, thou Christ of God,
By thy perennial Word,
Lead us where thou hast trod; M
ake our faith strong.
5 So now and till we die,
Sound we thy praises high,
And joyful sing:
Infants, and the glad throng
Who to thy church belong,
Unite to swell the song
To Christ our King.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 40:11 Languages: English Tune Title: BRAUN
