Where is Bread?

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: SOGN2009 #22a (2009) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH 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 Ministry; Justice Scripture: John 6:1-15 Languages: English

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: SOGN2009 #41b (2009) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH First Line: There are many ways of sharing, But God's Spirit gives each one Lyrics: There are many ways of sharing, But God’s Spirit gives each one.

We’ve been baptized in the waters! We’ve been given work to do. When you call your sons and daughters, You give gifts for serving you. God, we join in celebration Of the talents you impart. Bless each baptized one’s vocation; Give each one a servant’s heart. All are blest by gifts you give us; Some are set apart to lead. Give us Jesus’ love within us As we care for those in need. Give us faith to make decisions; Give us joy to share your Word. Give us unity and vision As we serve your church and world.

God Whose Love is Always Stronger

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: SOGN2009 #77c (2009) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH First Line: God whose love is always stronger Than our weakness, pride and fear Lyrics: God whose love is always stronger Than our weakness, pride and fear, In your world, we pray and wonder How to be more faithful here. Hate too often grows inside us; Fear rules what the nations do. So we pray, when wars divide us: Give us love, Lord! Make us new! Love is patient, kind and caring, Never arrogant or rude, Never boastful, all things bearing; Love rejoices in the truth. When we’re caught up in believing War will make the terror cease, Show us Jesus’ way of living; May our strength be in your peace. May our faith in you be nourished; May your churches hear your call. May our lives be filled with courage As we speak your love for all. Now emboldened by your Spirit Who has given us new birth, Give us love, that we may share it Till your love renews the earth.

Bigger Barns

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: SOGN2009 #18 (2009) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Tune Title: ABERYSTWYTH First Line: "Bigger barns are what I need" Lyrics: “Bigger barns are what I need,” so a rich man said one day. “From my worries I’ll be free when my wealth is stored away.” “Fool!” God said, “Today you’ll die!” Will that wealth mean anything? All life’s blessings really lie in the gifts that wealth can’t bring. “Bigger barns are what we need for our money, gadgets, more!” Lord, we’re tempted to believe having wealth, we’ll be secure! Somewhere children cry for food or to have a doctor’s care. Can our bigger barns be good when poor neighbors know despair? God of love, we long to know what will make us truly blest. Jesus taught us long ago wealth won’t give us peace or rest. You are our security! Safe in you, we serve, O Lord. May we find we’re rich indeed when we’re sharing with the poor.

God, How Can We Comprehend?

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: SOGN2009 #70 (2009) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Tune Title: ABERYSTWYTH First Line: God, how can we comprehend-- Lyrics: God, how can we comprehend— Though we've seen them times before— Lines of people without end Fleeing danger, want, and war? They seek safety anywhere, Hoping for a welcome hand! Can we know the pain they bear? Help us, Lord, to understand! You put music in their souls; Now they struggle to survive. You gave each one gifts and goals; Now they flee to stay alive. God of outcasts, may we see How you value everyone, For each homeless refugee Is your daughter or your son. Lord, your loving knows no bounds; You have conquered death for all. May we hear beyond our towns To our distant neighbors' call. Spirit, may our love increase; May we reach to all your earth, Till your whole world lives in peace; Till we see each person's worth.

Blest Are God's Peacemaking Ones

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: SOGN2009 #74 (2009) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Tune Title: ABERYSTWYTH First Line: Blest are God's peacemaking ones, Sent to work in countless ways-- Lyrics: Blest are God’s peacemaking ones, Sent to work in countless ways— God’s own daughters, God’s own sons, Serving without seeking praise. Yet like leaven in our bread, They persist to change us all. By God’s Spirit, they are led T o pursue God’s peaceful call. Bless-ed are God’s prophets, too, Called to challenge what we know. Working for a world that’s new, Calling us to change and grow. Though the message that they bear Stands against what powers say— It is Jesus’ word they share, News of God’s new breaking day. God, through Jesus’ love and grace, May we live what we profess. In the challenges we face, May we know what makes us blest. May we stand against the wrong; May our thirst for you increase. Give to us a prophet’s song! May we work to bring your peace! Topics: Justice; Peacemaking Scripture: Luke 13:20-21 Languages: English

Lyrics: We hear, Lord, your promise: “My grace is sufficient!” Those few simple words brought such comfort to Paul; And though every thorn in the flesh may be different We find in your message good news for us all. Your strength is made perfect in times of our weakness, When hardships assail us and pain comes along. For you dwell within us and we learn your goodness— And when we are weakest, in you we are strong. Through all that we suffer, your grace is a blessing; O Christ, you are with us to carry us through. What hope you still offer when life is distressing! You heal and forgive us, so we turn to you. When pain is so great that we hardly can bear it, We call on your name and we hear your love’s song; You send us the comfort and peace of your Spirit, And when we are weakest, in you we are strong.

The Fruit of the Spirit
