Great God, We Sing That Mighty Hand

Author: Philip Doddridge Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 491 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great God, we sing that mighty hand By which supported still we stand; The opening year Your mercy shows; That mercy crowns it till it close. 2 With grateful hearts the past we own; The future, all to us unknown, We to Your guardian care commit, And peaceful leave before Your feet. 3 In scenes exalted or depressed, You are our joy, and You our rest; Your goodness all our hopes shall raise, Adored through all our changing days.

The Church of Christ in Every Age

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 30 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The church of Christ in every age, Beset by change but Spirit led, Must claim and test its heritage And keep on rising from the dead. 2 Across the world, across the street, The victims of injustice cry For shelter and for bread to eat, And never live until they die. 3 Then let the servant church arise, A caring church that longs to be A partner in Christ's sacrifice, And clothed in Christ's humanity. 4 For Christ alone, whose blood was shed, Can cure the fever in our blood, And teach us how to share our bread And feed the starving multitude. 5 We have no mission but to serve In full obedience to our Lord: To care for all, without reserve, And spread his liberating word.
