Surely Goodness and Mercy
You That Know the Lord Is Gracious
Author: C. A. Alington Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 17 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 2:4-10 Lyrics: 1 You that know the Lord is gracious,
you for whom a cornerstone
stands, of God elect and precious,
laid that you may build thereon,
see that on that sure foundation
you a living temple raise,
towers that may tell forth salvatiton,
walls that may re-echo praise.
2 Living stones by God appointed
each to an allotted place,
kings and priests, by God anointed,
shall you not declare his grace?
You, a royal generation,
tell the tidings of your birth,
tidings of a new creation
to an old and weary earth.
3 Tell the praise of him who called you
out of darkness into light,
broke the fetters that enthralled you,
gave you freedom, peace, and sight:
tell the tale of sins forgiven,
strength renewed, and hope restored,
till the earth, in tune with heaven,
praise an magnify the Lord. Topics: Call and Response Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH

God Is Here! As We His People
Author: Fred Pratt Green, b. 1903 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 47 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 2:9-10 Lyrics: 1 God is here! As we his people,
Meet to offer praise and prayer,
May we find in fuller measure
What it is in Christ we share:
Here, as in the world around us,
All our varied skills and arts
Wait the coming of his Spirit
Into open minds and hearts.
2 Here are symbols to remind us
Of our lifelong need of grace;
Here are table, font, and pulpit;
Here the cross has central place.
Here in honesty of preaching,
Here in silence, as in speech,
Here in newness and renewal
God the Spirit comes to each.
3 Here our children find a welcome
In the Shepherd's flock and fold,
Here, as bread and wine are taken,
Christ sustains us as of old;
Here the servants of the Servant
Seek in worship to explore
What it means in daily living
To believe and to adore.
4 Lord of all, of church and kingdom,
In an age of change and doubt,
Keep us faithful to the gospel,
Help us work your purpose out:
Here, in this day's dedication,
All we have to give, receive;
We who cannot live without you,
We adore you! We believe!
