As We Gather at Your Table

Author: Carl P. Daw Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As we gather at your table, as we listen to your word, help us know, O God, your presence; let our hearts and minds be stirred. Nourish us with sacred story till we claim it as our own; teach us through this holy banquet how to make Love’s vict'ry known. 2 Turn our worship into witness in the sacrament of life; send us forth to love and serve you, bringing peace where there is strife. Give us, Christ, your great compassion to forgive as you forgave; may we still behold your image in the world you died to save. 3 Gracious Spirit, help us summon other guests to share that feast where triumphant Love will welcome those who had been last and least. There no more will envy blind us nor will pride our peace destroy, as we join with saints and angels to repeat the sounding joy.

Light of Ages and of Nations

Author: Samuel Longfellow, 1819-1892 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Light of ages and of nations, every race and every time has received thine inspirations, glimpses of thy truth sublime. Always spirits in rapt vision passed the heavenly veil within, always hearts bowed in contrition found salvation from their sin. 2 Reason’s noble aspiration truth in growing clearness saw; conscience spoke its condemnation, or proclaimed eternal law. While thine inward revelations told thy saints their prayers were heard, prophets to the guilty nations spoke thine everlasting word. 3 Lo, that word abideth ever; revelation is not sealed; answering now to our endeavor, truth and right are still revealed. That which came to ancient sages, Greek, Barbarian, Roman, Jew, written in the soul’s deep pages, shines today, forever new.

Sing of Andrew, John's Disciple

Author: Carl P. Daw Jr. Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Sing of Andrew, John's disciple, Led by faith through ways untrod, Till the Baptist cried at Jordan, "There behold the Lamb of God!" Stirred by hearing this new teacher, Andrew, freed from doubt and fear, Ran to tell his brother Simon, "God's Anointed One is here!" 2. Sing of Andrew, called by Jesus From the shores of Galilee, Leaving boats and nets and kindred, Trusting in that "Follow me." When a lad's small meal fed thousands, When inquiring Greeks found care, When the Spirit came in blessing, Andrew faithfully was there. 3. Sing of Andrew, bold apostle, Sent to make the gospel known, Faithful to his Lord's example, Called to make a cross his own. So may we who prize his memory Honor Christ in our own day, Bearing witness to our neighbors, Living what we sing and pray. Topics: Epiphany Scripture: John 1:29-42 Used With Tune: IN BABILONE

God Is Here! As We His People

Author: Fred Pratt Green, b. 1903 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 49 hymnals 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! Topics: Church; Church Used With Tune: IN BABILONE
