Lord, You Give the Great Commission

Author: Jeffery Rowthorn, b. 1934 Hymnal: RitualSong #607 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Ministry Lyrics: 1 Lord, you give the great commission: "Heal the sick and preach the word." Lest the Church neglect its mission, And the gospel go unheard, Help us witness to your purpose With renewed integrity; With the Spirit's gifts empow'r us For the work of ministry. 2 Lord, you call us to your service: "In my name baptize and teach." That the world may trust your promise, Life abundant meant for each, Give us all new fervor, draw us Closer in community; With the Spirit's gifts empow'r us For the work of ministry. 3 Lord, you make the common holy: "This my body, this my blood." Let us all, for earth's true glory, Daily lift life heavenward, Asking that the world around us Share your children's liberty; With the Spirit's gifts empow'r us For the work of ministry. 4 Lord, you show us love's true measure: "Father, what they do, forgive." Yet we hoard as private treasure All that you so freely give. May your care and mercy lead us To a just society; With the Spirit's gifts empow'r us For the work of ministry. 5 Lord, you bless with words assuring: "I am with you to the end." Faith and hope and love restoring, May we serve as you intend, And, amid the cares that claim us, Hold in mind eternity; With the Spirit's gifts empow'r us For the work of ministry.

The institution of a gospel ministry from Christ

Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CDVII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Gospel Ministry instituted by Christ First Line: Father of mercies, in thy house Lyrics: 1 Father of mercies. in thy house Smile on our homage, and our vows; While with a grateful heart we share These pledges of our Savior's care. 2 The Savior, when to heaven he rose In splendid triumph o'er his foes Scatter'd his gifts on men below, And wide his royal bounties flow, 3 Hence sprung th' apostles' honor'd name, Sacred beyond heroic fame; In lowlier form to bless our eyes, Pastors from hence, and teachers rise. 4 From Christ their varied gifts derive, And fed by Christ their graces live: While guarded by his potent hand, 'Midst all the rage of hell they stand. 5 So shall the bright succession run Thro' the last courses of the sun; While unborn churches by their care Shall rise and flourish large and fair, 6 Jesus our Lord, their hearts shall know, The spring, whence all these blessing flow: Pastors and people shout his praise Thro' the long round of endless days.

Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CDVIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: One called to the work of ministry First Line: Our God ascends his lofty throne Lyrics: 1 Our God ascends his lofty throne, Array'd in majesty unknown; His lustre all the temple fills, And spreads o'er all th’ ethereal hills. 2 The holy, holy, holy Lord, By all the Seraphim ador'd, And, while they stand beneath his seat, They veil their faces, and their feet. 3 Lord, how can sinful lips proclaim The honors of so great a name? O for thine altar’s glowing coal, To touch his lips to fire his soul! 4 Then if a messenger thou ask, A laborer for the hardest task, Thro’ all his weakness and his fear, Love shall reply, "Thy servant’s here." 5 Nor let his willing soul complain, Tho’ every effort seem in vain; It ample recompense shall be, But to have wrought, O God, for thee.

The Ministry of Angels

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #142 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Angelic Ministry First Line: Great God! what hosts of angels stand Lyrics: 1 Great God! what hosts of angels stand In shining ranks at Thy right hand, Arrayed in robes of dazzling light, With pinions stretched for distant flight! 2 Immortal fires! seraphic flames! Who can recount their various names? In strength and beauty they excel; For near the throne of God they dwell. 3 How eagerly they wish to know The duties he would have them do! What joy their active spirits feel, To execute their Sovereign's will! 4 Hither, at His command, they fly To guard the beds on which we lie, To shield our persons night and day, And scatter all our fears away. 5 Send, O my God, some angel down, (Though to a mortal eye unknown,) To guide and guard my doubtful way Up to the realms of endless day.
