You Call Us, Lord, to Worship

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: You call us, Lord, to worship; the day is set aside Lyrics: You call us, Lord, to worship; the day is set aside. Your love is overflowing; the doors are opened wide. Yet as we see your goodness, we see what we have been. And so we humbly ask you, "Forgive us of our sin!" We are forgiven people; we know your love's embrace. The peace of Christ is with us; forgiveness fills this place. We hear your word in scripture, in sermon and in song. Again, again, you tell us: we're loved and we belong. We share our joys and sorrows and then we offer prayer For people who are hurting, for nations everywhere. We bring our tithes and offerings, returning what is yours, For what we keep may vanish, but what we give endures. We celebrate your love, Lord, with water, wine and bread. For at your font we're welcomed and at your feast we're fed. We pray the prayer you taught us; we sing your praise and then Through daily, faithful living, we worship you again.

We Look to You, O Jesus

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: We look to you, O Jesus--in faith, our Pioneer-- Lyrics: We look to you, O Jesus—in faith, our Pioneer— For you have gone before us and brought your people here. You showed us all God’s kingdom, you gave us work to do; In death you went before us; for life, we turn to you. We looked to you to guide us three hundred years ago; How different was the land then, from this land that we know. With towns and country growing, your people heard your call, And so they built new churches, proclaiming you to all. Through times of strife and anguish, through times of joy and grace, Through conflicts with our culture, you’ve brought us to this place; And still your world is changing, and still we seek to be A church reformed, reforming in faithful ministry. Perfecter of the faith, Lord, we look to you each day; We work for peace and justice, we worship, learn and pray— And witnesses surround us, a host of saints above, As we continue sharing the joy of your great love.

How Many Are Your Works, Lord

Author: Susan H. Peterson Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: You laid the earth's foundation Lyrics: 1. You laid the earth’s foundation; its lines to You are known. You know what holds its footings; You laid its cornerstone. You gave the sea its boundaries And said, You proud waves, halt! How many are Your works, Lord! In wisdom You made all. 2. You give command each morning; You show the dawn its place. You journey to the sea springs; the gates of death You’ve faced. You comprehend earth’s vast expanse, Where light and darkness dwell. How many are Your works, Lord! In wisdom You excel. 3. Snow’s storehouses You’ve entered; You know the lightning’s home, The place where east winds come from, the path for every storm. You drench the desert wasteland and make it sprout with grass. How many are Your works, Lord! Your wisdom, O how vast! 4. You’re Father to each raindrop; You give birth to the frost. You lead the constellations; not one of them is lost. You know the laws of sun and stars; o’er earth You set Your reign. How many are Your works, Lord! Your wisdom is made plain. 5. The clouds obey Your bidding; their water jars You spill. You give man’s heart its wisdom, his mind with knowledge fill. You hunt prey for the lioness, provide the ravens’ food. How many are Your works, Lord, So wise and great and good!

Author: George Washington Bethune, 1805-1862 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 124 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Come, let us sing of Jesus, While hearts and accents blend; Come, let us sing of Jesus, The sinner’s only Friend; His holy soul rejoices Amid the choirs above, To hear our youthful voices Exulting in His love. 2 We love to sing of Jesus, Who wept our path along: We love to sing of Jesus, The tempted and the strong; None who besought His healing, He passed unheeded by: And still retains His feeling For us above the sky. 3 We love to sing of Jesus, Who died our souls to save; We love to sing of Jesus, Triumphant o’er the grave; And in our hour of danger, We’ll trust His love alone, Who once slept in a manger, And now sits on a throne. 4 Then let us sing of Jesus, While yet on earth we stay, And hope to sing of Jesus, Throughout eternal day. For those who here confess Him He will in heaven confess, And faithful hearts that bless Him, He will forever bless. Amen. Topics: Worship Used With Tune: LANCASHIRE
