Because I Have Been Given Much
Safely through another week
Author: J. Newton Appears in 1,010 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Safely through another week
God has brought us on our way;
Let us now a blessing seek,
Waiting in His courts today;
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest!
2 Mercies multiplied each hour
Through the week our praise demand;
Guarded by almighty power,
Fed and guided by His hand,
Though ungrateful we have been,
Only made returns of sin.
3 While we pray for pardoning grace,
Through the dear Redeemer's name,
Show Thy reconciléd face;
Take away our sin and shame;
From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest this day in Thee.
4 May Thy gospel's joyful sound
Conquer sinners, comfort saints;
May the fruits of grace abound,
Bring relief for all complaints:
Thus may all our Sabbaths prove
Till we join the Church above.

Prayer is the soul's sincere desire
Author: J. Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 845 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire,
Unuttered or expressed;
The motion of a hidden fire
That trembles in the breast.
2 Prayer is the burden of a sigh,
The falling of a tear,
The upward glancing of the eye,
When none but God is near.
3 Prayer is the simplest form of speech
That infant lips can try;
Prayer the sublimest strains that reach
The Majesty on high.
4 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath,
The Christian's native air,
His watchword at the gates of death;
He enters heaven with prayer.
5 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice
Returning from his ways,
While angels in their songs rejoice
And cry, "Behold, he prays!"
6 O Thou, by whom we come to God,
The life, the truth, the way!
The path of prayer Thyself hast trod;
Lord, teach us how to pray. Topics: The Church Year Ascension; The Church Year Fifth Sunday after Easter Used With Tune: [Prayer is the soul's sincere desire]

King of Glory, King of Peace
Author: G. Herbert, 1593-1633 Meter: 7.4.7.4 D Appears in 59 hymnals Lyrics: 1 King of glory, King of peace,
I will love Thee;
And that love may never cease,
I will move Thee.
Thou hast granted my request,
Thou hast heard me;
Thou didst note my working breast,
Thou hast spared me.
2 Wherefore with my utmost art
I will sing Thee;
And the cream of all my heart,
I will bring Thee.
Though my sins against me cried,
Thou didst clear me;
And alone, when they replied,
Thou didst hear me.
3 Sev'n whole days, not one in sev'n,
I will praise Thee;
In my heart, though not in heav'n,
I can raise Thee.
Small it is, in this poor sort
To enroll Thee;
E'en eternity's too short
To extol Thee.

Jesus, Come! For We Invite You
Author: Christopher Idle, b. 1938 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, come! for we invite you,
guest and master, friend and Lord;
now, as once at Cana's wedding,
speak and let us hear your word:
lead us through our need or doubting,
hope be born and joy restored.
2 Jesus, come! transform our pleasures,
guide us into paths unknown;
bring your gifts, command your servants,
let us trust in you alone:
though your hand may work in secret,
all shall see what you have done.
3 Jesus, come! in new creation,
heav'n brought near by pow'r divine;
give your unexpected glory,
changing water into wine:
rouse the faith of your disciples --
come, our first and greatest Sign!
4 Jesus, come! surprise our dullness,
make us willing to receive
more than we can yet imagine,
all the best you have to give:
let us find your hidden riches,
taste your love, believe, and live! Topics: Marriage; Time After Epiphany; Epiphany, Time After Epiphany; Gathering; Holy Communion; Marriage Used With Tune: UNION SEMINARY

Lord of the everlasting light
Author: Leigh Mitchell Hodges, 1876 - 1954 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Lord of the everlasting light,
Let shine on these today
A guiding beam, to lead aright
Their feet along the way.
2 Anoint them freely with thy grace,
That gladly they may share
Earth's many joys, and bravely face
The burdens they must bear.
3 O, may they ever turn to thee
As Father and as Friend;
Secure in thy infinity
Until the journey's end. A-men.
4 And when, beyond the dusk of time,
They greet the dawn above,
O give them, in that blessèd clime,
Thy endlessness of love.
Amen. Topics: Sacraments and Rites Confirmation Used With Tune: LUTHER SEMINARY

O Lord, Who Came to Earth to Show
Author: Milburn Price Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, who came to earth to show
Your way of truth and love,
who ministered to varied needs
with grace sent from above,
equip us likewise now to go,
and thus fulfill Your word
compelling us to minister:
give us Your love, O Lord.
2 Enable us to hear the cries
of those who, in despair,
call out for someone who will hear,
for someone who will care.
Then, hearing, let us actively
pursue with one accord
a ministry which meets their needs:
give us Your love, O Lord.
3 With superficial gestures, we
have tried to comfort those
who struggle for fulfillment
in the midst f all life's throes.
Invest in us a higher cause
which, shown by Christ, our Lord,
makes us to seek their deepest needs:
give us Your love, O Lord.
4 "Your kingdom come on earth," we pray
with hearts which are resolved,
and yet, in human problems still
we fail to be involved;
the ministries of comfort, peace,
and hope may we afford
to all who struggle in their needs:
give us Your love, O Lord.
