Lord, As We Rise
Author: Fred Kaan Appears in 10 hymnals Hymnal Title: Ecumenical Praise First Line: Lord, as we rise to leave this shell of worship Lyrics: 1 Lord, as we rise to leave this shell of worship,
Call'd to the risk of unprotected living,
Willing to be at one with all your people,
We ask for courage.
2 For all the strain with living interwoven,
For the demands each day will make upon us,
And for the love we owe the modern city,
Lord, make us cheerful.
3 Give us an eye for openings to serve you;
Make us alert when calm is interrupted,
Ready and wise to use the unexpected;
Sharpen our insight.
4 Lift from our life the blanket of convention:
Give us the nerve to lose our life to others.
Be with your church in death and resurrection:
Lord of all ages. Topics: The Church Its Worship and Praise of God Used With Tune: WANSBECK

Fred Kaan
1929 - 2009 Hymnal Title: Ecumenical Praise Author of "Lord, As We Rise" in Ecumenical Praise Fred Kaan Hymn writer. His hymns include both original work and translations. He sought to address issues of peace and justice. He was born in Haarlem in the Netherlands in July 1929. He was baptised in St Bavo Cathedral but his family did not attend church regularly. He lived through the Nazi occupation, saw three of his grandparents die of starvation, and witnessed his parents deep involvement in the resistance movement. They took in a number of refugees. He became a pacifist and began attending church in his teens.
Having become interested in British Congregationalism (later to become the United Reformed Church) through a friendship, he was attended Western College in Bristol. He was ordained in 1955 at the Windsor Road Congregational Church in Barry, Glamorgan.
In 1963 he was called to be minister of the Pilgrim Church in Plymouth. It was in this congregation that he began to write hymns. The first edition of Pilgrim Praise was published in 1968, going into second and third editions in 1972 and 1975. He continued writing many more hymns throughout his life.
