O Zion Lift a Mighty Voice
Author: D M Marshall Meter: Irregular with refrain Appears in 1 hymnal Tune Title: A MIGHTY VOICE First Line: Through Zion's wars, we have triumphant come Lyrics: 1 Through Zion's wars, we have triumphant come,
through valleys and streams.
We've crossed the mountains tall and high
and some fell from their dreams
But all the saints with pow'r prevailed
in His strength we have not failed.
Refrain:
O Zion lift a mighty voice–
we have cause to rejoice!
O Zion lift a mighty voice–
we have cause to rejoice!
2 Now we are here, through blood sweat and tears
We have come through the night.
Jesus Himself has cast away our fears
and remains in the fight.
So plant your feet, stand your ground.
His perfect love and grace abound. [Refrain]
3 Joy evermore, we serve a risen king
who is brightest and best.
Lift holy hands give praise to Him and sing
as His name we are blest.
Soon things of life shall be past.
Zion's goal is met at last. [Refrain] Topics: Zion Connectional Hymns Used With Tune: A MIGHTY VOICE

God Is Here
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 47 hymnals Tune Title: ABBOTT'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 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: Adoration and Praise Used With Tune: ABBOTT'S LEIGH

It May Not Be Our Lot to Wield
Author: John G Whittier, 1807-1892 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 38 hymnals Tune Title: ABENDS Lyrics: 1 It may not be our lot to wield
The sickle in the ripened field;
Nor ours to hear, on summer eves,
The reaper's song among the sheaves.
2 Yet where our duty's task is wrought
In unison with God's great thought,
The near and future blend in one,
And whatsoe'er is willed, is done.
3 And ours the grateful service whence
Comes, day by day, the recompense;
The hope, the trust, the purpose stayed,
The fountain, and the noonday shade.
4 And were this life the utmost span,
The only end and aim of man,
Better the toil of fields like these
Than waking dream and slothful ease.
5 But life, though falling like our grain,
Like that revives and springs again;
And, early called, how blest are they
Who wait in heaven their harvest day!
AMEN. Topics: The Call to Service Used With Tune: ABENDS

Fred Pratt Green
1903 - 2000 Tune Title: ABBOTT'S LEIGH Hymnal Number: 5 Author of "God Is Here" in The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal The name of the Rev. F. Pratt Green is one of the best-known of the contemporary school of hymnwriters in the British Isles. His name and writings appear in practically every new hymnal and "hymn supplement" wherever English is spoken and sung. And now they are appearing in American hymnals, poetry magazines, and anthologies.
Mr. Green was born in Liverpool, England, in 1903. Ordained in the British Methodist ministry, he has been pastor and district superintendent in Brighton and York, and now served in Norwich. There he continued to write new hymns "that fill the gap between the hymns of the first part of this century and the 'far-out' compositions that have crowded into some churches in the last decade or more."
