A Purple Robe
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, 1926- Hymnal: WAR2003 #279 (2003) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Tune Title: A PURPLE ROBE First Line: A purple robe, a crown of thorn Lyrics: 1 A purple robe, a crown of thorn,
a reed in his right hand;
before the soldiers’ spite and scorn
I see my Savior stand.
He bears between the Roman guard
the weight of all our woe;
a stumbling figure, bowed and scarred,
I see my Savior go.
2 He hangs, by whom the world was made,
beneath the darkened sky;
the everlasting ransom paid,
I see my Savior die.
He shares on high his Father’s throne,
who once in mercy came;
for all his love to sinners shown
I sing my Savior’s name. Scripture: Luke 23:26-44 Languages: English

God Is Here!
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: WAR2003 #1 (2003) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH 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 Lord 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! Scripture: Matthew 2:6 Languages: English
God Is Here!
Through the Darkness of the Ages
Author: Hilary Jolly, 1945- Hymnal: WAR2003 #536 (2003) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH Lyrics: 1 Through the darkness of the ages,
through the sorrows of the days,
strength of weary generations,
lifting hearts in hope and praise,
light in darkness, joy in sorrow,
presence to allay all fears,
Jesus, you have kept your promise,
faithful through two thousand years.
2 Bounty of two thousand harvests,
beauty of two thousand springs;
He who framed the times and seasons
has vouchsafed us greater things.
Word of God who spoke creation
speaks forgiveness, speaks to save,
gathers still his ransomed people
in the life he freely gave.
3 Countless flowers have bloomed and withered,
countless noons are sealed in night,
shattered thrones and fallen empires,
realms and riches lost from sight.
Christ, your kingdom still increases
as the centuries unfold.
Grain that fell to earth and perished
has brought forth ten thousand-fold.
4 Master, we shall sing your praises,
man of sorrows, God of power,
for the measured march of seasons
shall at last bring in the hour
when, as lightning leaps the heavens,
you return to lead us home.
You have promised, "I am coming."
Swiftly, our Lord Jesus, come. Scripture: Revelation 22:20 Languages: English
Through the Darkness of the Ages

Lord, You Give the Great Commission
Author: Jeffery Rowthorn, 1934- Hymnal: WAR2003 #592 (2003) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH 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.
Scripture: Luke 22:19-22 Languages: English
Lord, You Give the Great Commission

Jesus, Lover of My Soul
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: WAR2003 #439 (2003) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Tune Title: ABERYSTWYTH Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul,
let me to thy bosom fly,
while the nearer waters roll,
while the tempest still is high;
hide me, O my Savior, hide
till the storm of life is past;
safe into the haven guide,
O receive my soul at last.
2 Other refuge have I none;
hangs my helpless soul on thee;
leave, ah! leave me not alone,
still support and comfort me.
All my trust on thee is stayed,
all my help from thee I bring;
cover my defenseless head
with the shadow of thy wing.
3 Plenteous grace with thee is found,
grace to cover all my sin;
let the healing streams abound,
make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art,
freely let me take of thee;
spring thou up within my heart,
rise to all eternity. Scripture: Isaiah 25:4 Languages: English
Jesus, Lover of My Soul
Great God, Your Love Has Called Us Here
Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Hymnal: WAR2003 #55 (2003) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Tune Title: ABINGDON 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. Scripture: Romans 8:2 Languages: English
Great God, Your Love Has Called Us Here
