Church of God, Elect and Glorious
Author: J. E. Seddon Hymnal: WORS2011 #733 (2011) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH Lyrics: 1 Church of God, elect and glorious,
Holy nation, chosen race;
Called as God's own special people,
Royal priests and heirs of grace:
Know the purpose of your calling,
Show to all his mighty deeds;
Tell of love that knows no limits,
Grace that meets all human needs.
2 God has called you out of darkness
Into his most marv'lous light,
Brought his truth to life within you,
Turned your blindness into sight.
Let your light so shine around you
That God's name is glorified
And all find fresh hope and purpose
In Christ Jesus crucified.
3 Once you were an alien people,
Strangers to God's heart of love;
But he brought you home in mercy,
Citizens of heav'n above.
Let his love flow out to others,
Let them feel the Father's care,
That they too may know his welcome
And his countless blessings share.
4 Church of God, elect and holy,
Be the people he intends,
Strong in faith and swift to answer
Each command your Master sends.
Royal priests, fulfill your calling
Through your sacrifice and prayer;
Give your lives in joyful service;
Sing his praise, his love declare. Topics: Church Languages: English

Come and See the Many Wonders
Lord, You Give the Great Commission
Author: Jeffery Rowthorn, b. 1934 Hymnal: WORS2011 #790 (2011) 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 empow'r 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 empow'r 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 empow'r 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 empow'r 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 empow'r us
For the work of ministry. Topics: Mission / Ministry Languages: English

God Is Here! As We His People
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: WORS2011 #835 (2011) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH Lyrics: 1 God is here! As we his 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 his 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! Topics: Gathering Languages: English

Sovereign Maker of All Things
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Hymnal: WORS2011 #960 (2011) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Tune Title: ABERYSTRWYTH First Line: Sov'reign Maker of all things Lyrics: 1 Sov'reign Maker of all things,
God of covenant and grace,
Ev'ry creature knows your pow'r.
Quakes with fear before your face.
But your mercy far exceeds
What our minds can comprehend;
Deep compassion stays your hand,
Chast'ning not, though we offend.
2 You have promised to forgive
Contrite sinners who repent;
So I come with humbled heart,
By your word made confident.
I have sinned, Lord, I have sinned:
Well I know my wickedness.
Yet I make this prayer to you:
Lord, forgive me, heal, and bless.
3 Let me not be lost in sin,
Banished to eternal night;
God who hears the penitent.
Let your goodness show your might.
Though I be unworthy, Lord,
Your great mercy will I claim,
Till I join the hosts above
Who forever praise your name. Topics: Penance / Reconciliation; Lent III C Languages: English

Wild and Lone the Prophet's Voice
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Hymnal: WORS2011 #390 (2011) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Tune Title: ABERYSTWYTH Lyrics: 1 Wild and lone the prophet's voice
Echoes through the desert still,
Calling us to make a choice,
Bidding us to do God's will:
"Turn from sin and be baptized;
Cleanse your heart and mind and soul.
Quitting all the sins you prized,
Yield your life to God's control."
2 "Bear the fruit repentance sows:
Lives of justice, truth, and love.
Trust no other claim than those;
Set your heart on things above.
Soon the Lord will come in pow'r,
Burning clean the threshing floor:
Then will flames the chaff devour;
Wheat alone shall fill God's store."
3 With such preaching stark and bold
John proclaimed salvation near,
And his timeless warnings hold
Words of hope to all who hear.
So we dare to journey on,
Led by faith through ways untrod,
Till we come at last like John
To behold the Lamb of God. Topics: Advent; Advent III C; Advent II A; Advent II C Languages: English

Shepherd, Do You Tramp the Hills

Shepherd, Do You Tramp the Hills
Not Alone, but Two by Two
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Hymnal: WORS2011 #769 (2011) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Tune Title: ABERYSTWYTH Lyrics: 1 Not alone, but two by two,
Jesus sent disciples out:
Yoked to share their growing faith,
Spurred by courage, slowed by doubt.
Taking but a walking stick,
Moneyless and sandal-shod,
Forth they went to preach and heal,
Trusting all their needs to God.
2 Have we still such daring hearts?
Can we claim their faith and nerve?
Do we truly love the world
Jesus calls for us to serve?
Can we plant again the seed
Sown in mutual ministry,
Patterned on a life of faith
Rooted in community?
3 Holy Spirit, breathe through us
With your unifying might;
Kindle cleansing, melting flames
Till our fractured wills unite.
Bind our hearts in mutual love,
Paradox that sets self free;
Let our common witness show
God's shared life in Trinity.
