Body broken for our good

Author: Alan Gaunt (b. 1935) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Body broken for our good, and that body's precious blood: we receive them to our shame, who dishonour Jesus' name. Every day more blood is shed; flesh is broken, left for dead. Where earth's children bleed and die, it is Christ we crucify. 2 Yet your love, God, draws us near, though unworthy to be here; we have nothing good to bring, yet you give us everything! Here you give us Christ who died, resurrected, glorified; his humanity, divine, here is ours in bread and wine. 3 In communion with this Lord, faith, hope, love are all restored; here is wealth beyond compare, wealth for all the world to share. He reclaims our every breath: all our life and even death cannot be too great a price, to complete his sacrifice. 4 Time, with energy and health, talent, poverty or wealth: all are yours, Lord, taken up in the sign of bread and cup. Though we may be broken too, and our lives poured out for you, make of us the living sign of your love in bread and wine.

Jesus, Sailing On the Sea

Author: Alan Gaunt Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, sailing on the sea, through a storm on Galilee, on a cushion fast asleep, heedless of the raging deep: your disciples, full of dread, fearing they will soon be dead, shake you, crying in despair, "We are drowning! Don't you care?" 2 Soon, before the boat can spill, you are shouting, "Peace! Be still!" Now the wind and sea are calm, and the crew are safe from harm. You say, "Why are you afraid, why distraught and so dismayed? Is your trust in God so small; do you have no faith at all?" 3 Your disciples, filled with awe, say, "Who's known such things before? Who is this we've seen today, whom the wind and waves obey?" Lord, though we are frightened too by the harm the world can do, calm our fears when tempests rise; give us faith that never dies.

Not Alone, but Two by Two

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Not alone, but two by two, Jesus sent disciples out: Yoked to share their growing faith, Spurred by courage, slowed by doubt. Taking but a walking stick, Moneyless and sandal-shod, Forth they went to preach and heal, Trusting all their needs to God. 2 Have we still such daring hearts? Can we claim their faith and nerve? Do we truly love the world Jesus calls for us to serve? Can we plant again the seed Sown in mutual ministry, Patterned on a life of faith Rooted in community? 3 Holy Spirit, breathe through us With your unifying might; Kindle cleansing, melting flames Till our fractured wills unite. Bind our hearts in mutual love, Paradox that sets self free; Let our common witness show God's shared life in Trinity.

I have sinned, Lord, I have sinned: Well I know my wickedness. Yet I make this prayer to you: Lord, forgive me, heal, and bless. 3 Let me not be lost in sin, Banished to eternal night; God who hears the penitent. Let your goodness show your might. Though I be unworthy, Lord, Your great mercy will I claim, Till I join the hosts above Who forever praise your name. Topics: Penance / Reconciliation; Lent III C Used With Tune: ABERYSTRWYTH

God Of Truth, And Power, And Love

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 God of truth, and power, and love, Father, friend of all mankind, Let on me Thy Spirit move, Influence my feeble mind; ’Twixt the serpent’s seed and me Prevalently interpose, Break the fatal amity, Make us everlasting foes. 2 Sin hath poisoned all my soul, Sin, the serpent’s cursèd seed: No one part in me is whole, Yet will I the promise plead; Promise of all-saving grace, Promise of an inward power, Able to redeem the race, Me, and all men to restore. 3 Breathe the breath of simple life, Oh! Be Abel born in me Previous to the legal strife, Innocent simplicity: Give me childishness to oppose All the subtle serpent’s art; Childishness no evil knows, Give me, Lord, a simple heart. 4 Or if pride hath this destroyed Turned into self-righteousness, Let the law supply the void, Seth succeed in Abel’s place. Deeply root Thy law within Parent of the wretched man; Check my forwardness to sin, Forcibly by fear restrain. 5 Bind in me the strong-man bind With the fetters of the law; Curb and thwart the carnal mind, Keep the man of sin in awe; Enemy to all that’s good, He can only be subdued By the sense of pardoning grace; Never will he quite give place. 6 Tell me Jesus died for me, Show some token of His love; Love and sin can never agree, Love shall still the stronger prove: Love in the first measure give, Sin shall then no longer sway, Flesh may for a season strive, I the Spirit shall obey. 7 Patiently I then shall wait For the woman’s noblest seed, Jesus Christ the mighty hate, Bruiser of the serpent’s head; O reveal Thy Son in me, Bring the perfect nature in, Now destroy the enmity, Now consume the man of sin. 8 Adam, flesh, and self, and pride, Antichrist, perdition’s son, Let him not in me abide, Cast him out, and reign alone; Slay the dragon in the sea, Make my soul Thy pure abode, Filled with all the deity, Swallowed up, and lost in God.

Lamb Of God, We Follow Thee

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Lamb of God, we follow Thee, Willing as Thou art to be, Joyful in Thy steps to go, Suffering for Thy sake below. Taking up our daily cross, Called to shame, and pain, and loss, Well contented to sustain All the rage of cruel man. 2 Who Thy lovely pattern knows Cannot force with force oppose, They that to Thy fold belong Dare not render wrong for wrong. Bruised by the oppressor’s hand Evil they will ne’er withstand, All that follow Thee are meek, Taught to turn the other cheek. 3 Jesu, in Thy gracious power, Lo! we meet the fiery hour, Calm, dispassionate, resigned, Armed with all Thy patient mind. After Thee with joy we come, Sheep before our shearers dumb, Answering not one angry word, True disciples of our Lord. 4 Suffering here we threaten not, Innocent in word and thought, Harmless as a wounded dove, Hatred we repay with love. Turn, almighty as Thou art, Turn our persecutors’ heart, Let them to our faith be given, Let us meet our foes in Heaven.
