O God in Whom All Life Begins
Author: Carl P. Daw Jr. Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Community in Christ Lyrics: 1 O God in whom all life begins,
who births the seed to fruit,
bestow your blessing on our lives;
here let your love find root.
Bring forth in us the Spirit’s gifts
of patience, joy, and peace;
deliver us from numbing fear,
and grant our faith increase.
2 Unite in mutual ministry
our minds and hands and hearts
that we may have the grace to seek
the power your peace imparts.
So let our varied gifts combine
to glorify your Name
that in all things by word and deed
we may your love proclaim.
3 Through tears and laughter, grief and joy,
enlarge our trust and care;
so bind us in community
that we may risk and dare.
Be with us when we gather here
to worship, sing, and pray;
then send us forth in power and faith
to live the words we say.

The Head That Once Was Crowned
Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1854 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 532 hymnals Topics: Community in Christ First Line: The head that once was crowned with thorns Lyrics: 1 The head that once was crowned with thorns
Is crowned with glory now;
A royal diadem adorns
The mighty victor's brow.
2 The highest place that heav'n affords
Is his by sov'reign right,
The King of kings, and Lord of lords,
And heav'n's eternal light.
3 The joy of all who dwell above,
The joy of all below
To whom he manifests his love,
And grants his name to know;
4 To them the cross, with all its shame,
With all its grace, is giv'n;
Their name, an everlasting name,
Their joy, the joy of heav'n.
5 They suffer with their Lord below:
They reign with him above;
Their profit and their joy to know
The myst'ry of his love.
6 The cross he bore is life and health,
Though shame and death to him;
His people's hope, his people's wealth,
Their everlasting theme!

O Holy City, Seen of John
Author: Walter Russell Bowie Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 88 hymnals Topics: Church Community in Christ Lyrics: 1 O holy city, seen of John,
where Christ, the Lamb, doth reign,
within whose foursquare walls shall come
no night, nor need, nor pain,
and where the tears are wiped from eyes
that shall not weep again!
2 Hark, now from men whose lives are held
more cheap than merchandise,
from women struggling sore for bread,
from little children's cries,
there swells the sobbing human plaint
that bids thy walls arise.
3 O shame to us who rest content
while lust and greed for gain
in street and shop and tenement
wring gold from human pain,
and bitter lips in blind despair cry,
"Christ hath died in vain!"
4 Give us, O God, the strength to build
the city that hath stood
too long a dream, whose laws are love,
whose ways is brotherhood,
and where the sun that shineth is
God's grace for human good.
5 Already in the mind of God
that city riseth fair.
Lo, how its splendour challenges
the souls that greatly dare,
yea, bids us seize the whole of life
and build its glory there! Used With Tune: MORNING SONG

How Firm a Foundation
Author: "K" Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2,257 hymnals Topics: Community in Christ First Line: How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord Lyrics: 1 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
is laid for your faith in God's excellent Word!
What more can be said than to you God hath said,
to you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
2 "Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed,
for I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.
3 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
the rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
for I will be near thee, thy troubles to bless,
and sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
4 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
my grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply;
the flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
5 "The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose,
I will not, I will not desert to its foes;
that soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I'll never, no, never, no, never forsake."
