Church of God, Elect and Glorious

Author: James E. Seddon Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #526 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Invitation and Response Lyrics: 1 Church of God, elect and glorious, holy nation, chosen race; called as God's own special people, royal priests and heirs of grace: know the purpose of your calling, show to all God's mighty deeds; tell of love which knows no limits, grace which meets all human needs. 2 God has called you out of darkness into this most marvelous light; bringing truth to live within you, turning blindness into sight; let your light so shine around you that God's name is glorified; and all find fresh hope and purpose in Christ Jesus crucified. 3 Once you were an alien people, strangers to God's heart of love; Christ has brought you home in mercy, citizens of heav'n above; let his love flow out to others, let them feel the Savior's care; that they too may know his welcome and his countless blessings share. 4 Church of God, elect and holy, be the people Christ intends, strong in faith and swift to answer each command your master sends: royal priests, fulfill your calling through your sacrifice and prayer, give your lives in joyful service, sing his praise, his love declare.

Great God, Your Love Has Called Us Here

Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #579 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Invitation and Response Lyrics: 1 Great God, your love has called us here as we, by love, for love were made. Your living likeness still we bear, though marred, dishonored, disobeyed. We come, with all our heart and mind your call to hear, your love to find. 2 We come with self-inflicted pains of broken trust and chosen wrong, half-free, half-bound by inner chains, by social forces swept along, by pow'rs and systems close confined yet seeking hope for human-kind. 3 Great God, in Christ you call our name and then receive us as your own not through some merit, right, or claim but by your gracious love alone. We strain to glimpse your mercy seat and find you kneeling at our feet. 4 Then take the towel, and break the bread, and humble us, and call us friends. Suffer and serve till all are fed, and show how grandly love intends to work till all creation sings, to fill all worlds, to crown all things. 5 Great God, in Christ you set us free your life to live, your joy to share. Give us your Spirit's liberty to turn from guilt and dull despair and offer all that faith can do while love is making all things new. Scripture: John 13:1-20 Languages: English Tune Title: ABINGDON

Come see the Pow'r of Christ our King

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #LIII (1791) Topics: liturgical Songs of Response; Invitation to Praise and Repentance Lyrics: 1 Come see the Pow'r of Christ our King When on the Cross the Saviour hung, His Grace a dying Thief did bring, To own him with his Heart and Tongue. 2 Our Malefactor scorn'd Christ's Name, The other did his Sin reprove; Then said by Faith to God's dear Lamb, "Remember me O Lord above." 3 What noble Faith in him appear'd, That he could trust a dying Lord! He soon the blessed Jesus heard pronounce this sweet reviving Word; 4 "Amen, this Day thy Soul shall be "With me in Paradise above." This made the dying Pris'ner free; These Words were full of boundless Love. 5 What Comfort did this Speech convey, To his poor guilty wretched Mind! When thus he heard the Saviour say, Great Peace the Criminal did find. 6 Thus Jesus Christ forgave the Thierf, And shew'd great Mercy to the Man; So in the midst of Woe and Grief, His Joy and Happiness began. 7 O how he sings the Saviour's Praise, Who took him at the very last, When he his youthful Strength and Days In Satan's Cause had spent and past! 8 Now he adores God's holy Name, And stands before the Saviours Face; And will eternally proclaim The boundless Riches of his Grace!

On the bloody Tree behold him, Hear him cry before he dies, "It is finish'd," Sinner, will not this suffice? 6 Lo! th' incarnate God ascended, Pleads the Merit of his Blood; Venture on him, venture freely, Let no other Trust intrude: None but Jesus, Can do helpless Sinners good. 7 Saints and Angels, join'd in Concert, Sing the Praises of the Lamb, While the blissful Seats of Heaven, Sweetly Echo with his Name, Hallelujah!
