Here to the house of God we come

Author: Shirley Erena Murray (b. 1931) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Luke 9:58 Lyrics: 1 Here to the house of God we come, home of the people of the Way, here to give thanks for all we have, naming our needs for every day, we who have roof and rent and bread, sure of a place to rest our head. 2 There is a knocking at our door, sound of the homeless of the world, voice of the frightened refugee, cry of the children in the cold, asking the least that is their right, safety and shelter for the night. 3 God who is shelter, who is home, in borrowed rooms you came to live, pleaded to save the dispossessed, crucified, lay in borrowed grave: these are no strangers in your eyes, this is your family which cries. 4 We are all tenants of your love; gather us round a common fire, warm us in company with Christ, give us the heart to feel, to share table and lodging with free hand, space in our living, in our land.

You have suffered to release us, hope and joy and peace to bring. Hail, O agonizing Savior, bearer of our sin and shame; by your merits we find favor; life is given through your name. 2 Paschal Lamb, by God appointed, all our sins on you were laid; by almighty love anointed, you have full atonement made. All your people are forgiven through the virtue of your blood; opened is the gate of heaven; we are reconciled to God. 3 Jesus! Heavenly hosts adore you, seated at your Father's side. Crucified this world once saw you; now in glory you abide. There for sinners you are pleading, and our place you now prepare, ever for us interceding, till in glory we appear. 4 Worship, honor, power, and blessing you are worthy to receive; loudest praises, without ceasing, right it is for us to give. Help, O bright angelic spirits, all your noblest anthems raise; help to sing our Savior's merits, help to chant Immanuel's praise.

Author: Elizabeth Cecilia Douglas Clephane Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 521 hymnals Scripture: Luke 9:23 Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand, the shadow of a mighty rock within a weary land; a home within the wilderness, a rest upon the way, from the burning of the noontide heat, and the burden of the day. 2 Upon the cross of Jesus mine eye at times can see the very dying form of One who suffered there for me; and from my stricken heart with tears two wonders I confess: the wonders of redeeming love and my unworthiness. 3 I take, O cross, thy shadow for my abiding place; I ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of his face; content to let the world go by, to know no gain or loss, my sinful self my only shame, my glory all the cross.

Where cross the crowded ways of life

Author: Frank Mason North, 1850-1935 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 368 hymnals Scripture: Luke 9:38-43 Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life, where sound the cries of race and clan, above the noise of selfish strife, we hear thy voice, O Son of Man. 2 In haunts of wretchedness and need, on shadowed thresholds dark with fears, from paths where hide the lures of greed, we catch the vision of thy tears. 3 The cup of water given for thee still holds the freshness of thy grace; yet long these multitudes to see the strong compassion of thy face. 4 O Master, from the mountain-side make haste to heal these hearts of pain; among these restless throngs abide, O tread the city's streets again: 5 Till all shall come to learn thy love, and follow where thy feet have trod; till glorious from thy heaven above shall come the city of our God.
