At the Name of Jesus
Author: Caroline Maria Noel Hymnal: The Worshipbook #303 (1972) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Topics: Other Observances Ecumenism; Other Observances Mission; Other Observances Stewardship; Other Observances World Communion; Other Observances World Peace Lyrics: 1 At the name of Jesus
Every knee shall bow,
Every tongue confess him
King of Glory now:
'Tis the Father's pleasure
We should call him Lord,
Who from the beginning
Was the mighty Word.
2 Humbled for a season,
To receive a name
From the lips of sinners,
Unto whom He came,
Faithfully He bore it
Spotless to the last,
Brought it back victorious,
When from death He passed;
3 Bore it up triumphant,
With its human light,
Through all ranks of creatures,
To the central height,
To the throne of Godhead,
To the Father's breast;
Filled it with the glory
Of that perfect rest.
4 Brothers, this Lord Jesus
Shall return again,
With His Father's glory
O'er the earth to reign;
For all wreaths of empire
Meet upon his brow,
And our hearts confess him
King of glory now.
Amen. Scripture: Philippians 2:9-10 Tune Title: KING'S WESTON

O Brother Man, Fold to Your Heart
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Hymnal: The Worshipbook #484 (1972) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Other Observances Ecumenism; Other Observances Mission; Other Observances Stewardship; Other Observances World Peace First Line: O brother man, fold to thy heart your brother Lyrics: 1 O brother man, fold to your heart your brother;
Where pity dwells, the peace of God is there;
To worship rightly is to love each other,
Each smile a hymn, each kindly deed a prayer.
2 For he whom Jesus loved has truly spoken:
The holier worship which he deigns to bless
Restores the lost, and binds the spirit broken,
And feeds the widow and the fatherless.
3 Follow with reverent steps the great example
Of him whose holy work was doing good;
So shall the wide earth seem our Father's temple,
Each loving life a psalm of gratitude.
4 Then shall all shackles fall; the stormy clangor
Of wild war music o'er the earth shall cease;
Love shall tread out the baleful fire of anger,
And in its ashes plant the tree of peace.
Amen. Scripture: Galatians 6:2 Tune Title: WELWYN
O Brother Man, Fold to Your Heart
All People That on Earth Do Dwell
Author: William Kethe Hymnal: The Worshipbook #288 (1972) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Other Observances Reformation Day; Other Observances Stewardship; Other Observances World Communion; Other Observances World Peace Lyrics: 1 All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice;
Him serve with mirth, His praise forth tell,
Come ye before him and rejoice.
2 Know that the Lord is God indeed;
Without our aid he did us make;
We are his folk, he doth us feed,
And for his sheep he doth us take.
3 O enter then his gates with praise,
Approach with joy his courts unto;
Praise, laud, and bless his name always,
For it is seemly so to do.
4 For why? the Lord our God is good,
His mercy is forever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 100 Tune Title: OLD HUNDREDTH (altered rhythm)

Author: Frank von Christierson Hymnal: The Worshipbook #301 (1972) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Other Observances Ecumenism; Other Observances Mission; Other Observances Stewardship; Other Observances World Peace Lyrics: 1 As men of old their first-fruits brought,
Of orchard, flock and field
To God, the giver of all good,
The source of bounteous yield;
So we today first-fruits would bring,
The wealth of this good land,
Of farm and market, shop and home,
Of mind and heart and hand.
2 A world in need now summons us
To labor, love, and give;
To make our life an offering
To God, that man may live;
The church of Christ is calling us
To make the dream come true:
A world redeemed by Christ-like love,
All life in Christ made new.
3 In gratitude and humble trust
We bring our best today,
To serve your cause and share your love
With all along life's way.
O God, who gave yourself to us
In Christ, your only Son,
Teach us to give ourselves each day
Until life's work is done.
Amen. Scripture: Malachi 3:10 Tune Title: HIGH POPPLES

Fairer still the woodlands,
Robed in the blooming garb of spring:
Jesus is fairer,
Jesus is purer,
Who makes the woeful heart to sing.
3 Fair is the sunshine,
Fairer still the moonlight,
And all the twinkling, starry host:
Jesus shines brighter,
Jesus shines purer,
Than all the angels heaven can boast.

Lord of the nations,
Son of God and Son of Man!

Praise, adoration,
Now and forevermore be thine!

God is love: let earth rejoice;
Let creation sing before him,
And exalt him with one voice.
He who laid the earth's foundation,
He who spread the heavens above,
He who breathes through all creation,
He is love, eternal love.
2 God is love: he is enfolding
All the world in one embrace;
With unfailing grasp he's holding
Every child of every race.
And when human hearts are breaking
Under sorrow's iron rod,
All the sorrow, all the aching,
Wrings with pain the heart of God.
3 God is love: and though with blindness
Sin afflicts the souls of men,
God's eternal loving-kindness
Holds and guides them even then.
Sin and death and hell shall never
O'er us final triumph gain;
God is love, so love forever
O'er the universe must reign.
Amen. Scripture: 1 John 4:7-8 Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH

Scorn the Christ, assail his ways!
From the fears that long have bound us
Free our hearts to faith and praise.
Grant us wisdom,
Grant us courage,
For the living of these days,
For the living of these days.
3 Cure your children's warring madness,
Bend our pride to your control;
Shame our wanton, selfish gladness,
Rich in things and poor in soul.
Grant us wisdom,
Grant us courage,
Lest we miss the Kingdom's goal,
Lest we miss the Kingdom's goal.
4 Save us from weak resignation
To the evils we deplore;
Let the search for your salvation
Be our glory evermore.
Grant us wisdom,
Grant us courage,
Serving God whom we adore,
Serving God whom we adore.

To Abraham the Promise Came
Hymnal: The Worshipbook #608 (1972) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Other Observances Ecumenism; Other Observances Mission; Other Observances Stewardship; Other Observances World Peace Lyrics: 1 To Abraham the promise came,
And to his seed for ever,
A light to shine in Isaac's line,
By scripture we discover;
Hail, promised morn! the Savior's born,
he glorious Mediator—
God's blessed Word made flesh and blood,
Assumed the human nature.
2 His parents poor in earthly store,
To entertain the stranger
They found no bed to lay his head,
But in the ox's manger:
No royal things, as used by kings,
Were seen by those that found him,
But in the hay the stranger lay,
With swaddling bands around him.
3 On the same night a glorious light
To shepherds there appeared,
Bright angels came in shining flame,
They saw and greatly feared.
The angels said, "Be not afraid,
Although we much alarm you,
We do appear good news to bear,
As now we will inform you.
4 "The city's name is Bethlehem,
In which God hath appointed,
This glorious morn a Savior's born,
For him God hath anointed;
By this you'll know, if you will go,
To see this little stranger,
His lovely charms in Mary's arms,
Both lying in a manger."
5 When this was said, straightway was made
A glorious sound from heaven:
Each flaming tongue an anthem sung,
"To men a Savior's given,
In Jesus' name, the glorious theme,
We elevate our voices,
At Jesus' birth be peace on earth,
Meanwhile all heaven rejoices."
7.
Then with delight they took their flight, and winged their way to glory,
The shepherds gazed and were amazed, to hear the pleasing story;
To Bethlehem they quickly came, the glorious news to carry,
And in the stall they found them all, Joseph, the Babe, and Mary.
8.
The shepherds then returned again to their own habitation,
With joy of heart they did depart, now they have found salvation.
Glory, they cry, to God on high, who sent his Son to save us
This glorious morn the Savior's born, his name it is Christ Jesus. Scripture: Matthew 1 Tune Title: THE BABE OF BETHLEHEM
To Abraham the Promise Came

Who by our own false hopes and aims are spent.

Bringing to hungry souls the bread of life,
Still let your Spirit unto us be given
To heal earth's wounds and end her bitter strife.

Showing to wandering souls the path of light;
Walk close beside us, lest the tempting byways
Lure us from you and into endless night.

From death and dark despair, from guilt and sin,
We render back the love your mercy gave us;
O bless our lives that we may others win!
5 Hope of the world, O Christ, o'er death victorious,
Who by this sign did conquer grief and pain,
We would be faithful to your gospel glorious.
Our sovereign Lord, now and forever reign!

"Am I My Brother's Keeper?"
Author: Ian Ferguson Hymnal: The Worshipbook #295 (1972) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Other Observances Christian Education; Other Observances Mission; Other Observances World Peace Lyrics: 1 "Am I my brother's keeper?"
The muttered cry was drowned
By Abel's life-blood shouting
In silence from the ground.
For no man is an island
Divided from the main—
The bell which tolled for Abel
Tolled equally for Cain.
2 The ruler called for water
And thought his hands were clean.
Christ counted less than order,
The man than the machine.
The crowd cried, "Crucify him!,"
Their malice wouldn't budge,
So Pilate called for water,
And history's his judge.
3 As long as people hunger,
As long as people thirst,
And ignorance and illness
And warfare do their worst,
As long as there's injustice
In any of God's lands,
I am my brother's keeper,
I dare not wash my hands.
Amen. Tune Title: WHITFORD
"Am I My Brother's Keeper?"

Upon the world's dark hour!
Show us the way the Master trod;
Reveal his saving power.
2 Remove the veil of ancient words,
With message long obscure;
Restore to us your truth, O God,
And make its meaning sure.
3 Show us the prophets and the priests,
The kings, the common men,
Who kept the faith and walked with you;
O make them live again!
4 O let your Word be light anew
To every nation's life;
Unite us in your will, O Lord,
And end all sinful strife.
5 O may one Lord, one faith, one Word,
One Spirit lead us still;
And one great church go forth in might
To work God's perfect will.
Amen. Scripture: John 8:12 Tune Title: ST. PETER
Break Forth, O Living Light of God
Built on the Rock

Grundtvig; Carl Döving Hymnal: The Worshipbook #320 (1972) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Other Observances Christian Education; Other Observances Ecumenism; Other Observances World Communion First Line: Built on the rock the church does stand Lyrics: 1 Built on the rock the church does stand,
Even when steeples are falling;
Crumbled have spires in every land,
Bells still are chiming and calling;
Calling the young and old to rest,
But above all the soul distressed,
Longing for rest everlasting.
2 Surely in temples made with hands
God, the most high, is not dwelling;
High above earth his temple stands,
All earthly temples excelling;
Yet he whom heavens cannot contain
Chose to abide on earth with men,
Built in our bodies his temple.
3 We are God's house of living stones,
Builded for his habitation;
He through baptismal grace us owns,
Heirs of his wondrous salvation;
Were we but two his name to tell,
Yet he would deign with us to dwell,
With all his grace and His favor.
4 Now we may gather with our King,
E'en in the lowliest dwelling;
Praises to him we there may bring,
His wondrous mercy forth-telling;
Jesus his grace to us accords,
Spirit and life are all his words,
His truth doth hollow the temple.
Amen. Scripture: Ephesians 2:19-22 Tune Title: KIRKEN (BUILT ON THE ROCK)
