Great God, Your Love Has Called Us
Author: Brian A. Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Matching Instances: 7 First Line: Great God, your love has called us here 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. Topics: Church Year Maundy Thursday; Love God's Love for Us; Elements of Worship Opening of Worship: Called And Gathered Scripture: Genesis 1:26 Used With Tune: RYBURN

Jesus, Thy Boundless Love to Me
Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-76; John B. Wesley, 1703-91 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 347 hymnals Matching Instances: 6 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy boundless love to me
No thought can reach, no tongue declare;
Unite my thankful heart to Thee,
And reign without a rival there!
Thine wholly, Thine alone I am;
Be Thou alone my constant flame.
2 O grant that nothing in my soul
May dwell, but Thy pure love alone;
Oh, may Thy love possess me whole,
My joy, my treasure, and my crown!
All coldness from my heart remove;
My ev'ry act, word, thought be love.
3 This love unwearied I pursue
And dauntlessly to Thee aspire.
Oh, may Thy love my hope renew,
Burn in my soul like heav'nly fire!
And day and night, be all my care
To guard this sacred treasure there.
4 In suff'ring be Thy love my peace,
In weakness be Thy love my pow'r;
And when the storms of life shall cease,
O Jesus, in that final hour,
Be Thou my rod and staff and guide,
And draw me safely to Thy side!

They set out on their homeward road
Author: Fred Kaan, 1929- Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 They set out on their homeward road,
the two disciples lost and sad,
re-living still the episode
when all was lost and life made bad:
an ugly cross had been the end
of Christ the perfect man and friend.
2 A stranger joined them as they walked
that he their company might share;
he listened to them as they talked
of broken hope and great despair,
and then the stranger made reply
that Christ the Lord was bound to die.
3 He spoke of Moses and his days,
of Egypt and the promised land,
recalled the prophets and their ways,
God's leading with a living hand.
At journey's end, to food and rest,
they made him feel a welcome guest.
4 Invited in and honoured most
to take his place at table's head,
the stranger-guest became the host
by saying grace and taking bread.
Then suddenly they knew that Christ
had made their common meal a feast.
5 O Jesus, come again, we pray,
and share with us the things we do.
Be our companion on our way;
let Easter in our homes come true,
and let our life and work proclaim
the power of your living name. Topics: Church Year Easter; Companion / Friend; Feast / Food Scripture: Luke 24:13-35 Used With Tune: RYBURN
