Through all the changing scenes of life
Author: Nicholas Brady, 1659-1726; Nahum Tate, 1652-1715 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #427 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: General Hymns Christian Vocation and Witness Lyrics: 1 Through all the changing scenes of life,
in trouble and in joy,
the praises of my God shall still
my heart and tongue employ.
2 O magnify the Lord with me,
with me exalt his name;
when in distress to him I called,
he to my rescue came.
3 The hosts of God encamp around
the dwellings of the just;
deliverance he affords to all
who on his succour trust.
4 O make but trial of his love:
experience will decide
how blest are they, and only they,
who in his truth confide.
5 Fear him, ye saints, and you will then
have nothing else to fear;
make you his service your delight,
your wants shall be his care.
6 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
the God whom we adore,
be glory, as it was, is now,
and shall be evermore. Scripture: Psalm 9:1 Languages: Englsih Tune Title: WILTSHIRE
Through all the changing scenes of life
Through the night of doubt and sorrow
Author: Bernhardt Severin Ingemann, 1789-1862; Sabine Baring-Gould, 1832-1924 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #428 (2010) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: General Hymns Christian Vocation and Witness Lyrics: 1 Through the night of doubt and sorrow
onward goes the pilgrim band,
singing songs of expectation,
marching to the Promised Land.
2 Clear before us through the darkness
gleams and burns the guiding light;
pilgrim clasps the hand of pilgrim,
stepping fearless through the night.
3 One the light of God's own presence
o'er his ransomed people shed,
chasing far the gloom and terror,
brightening all the path we tread:
4 one the object of our journey,
one the faith which never tires,
one the earnest looking forward,
one the hope our God inspires:
5 one the strain that lips of thousands
lift as from the heart of one;
one the conflict, one the peril,
one the march in God begun:
6 one the gladness of rejoicing
on the far eternal shore,
where the one almighty Father
reigns in love for evermore.
7 Onward, therefore, pilgrim brothers,
onward with the cross our aid;
bear its shame, and fight its battle,
till we rest beneath its shade.
8 Soon shall come the great awaking,
soon the rending of the tomb;
then the scattering of all shadows,
and the end of toil and gloom. Languages: English Tune Title: ST OSWALD
Through the night of doubt and sorrow
Who would true valour see
Author: John Bunyan, 1628-1688 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #429 (2010) Meter: 6.5.6.5.6.6.6.5 Topics: General Hymns Christian Vocation and Witness Lyrics: 1 Who would true valour see,
let him come hither;
one here will constant be,
come wind, come weather.
There's no discouragement
shall make him once relent
his first avowed intent
to be a pilgrim.
2 Whoso beset him round
with dismal stories,
do but themselves confound;
his strength the more is.
No lion can him fright,
he'll with a giant fight,
but he will have the right
to be a pilgrim.
3 Hobgoblin nor foul fiend
can daunt his spirit;
he knows he at the end
shall life inherit.
Then fancies fly away,
he'll not fear what men say,
he'll labour night and day
to be a pilgrim. Languages: English Tune Title: MONKS GATE

Take Up Your Cross, the Saviour Said
Author: Charles William Everest (1814-1877) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #431 (1998) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Call and Vocation Lyrics: 1 Take up your cross, the Saviour said,
if you would my disciple be;
deny yourself, the world forsake,
and humbly follow after me.

fill your weak soul with vain alarm;
his strength shall bear your spirit up,
and brace your heart, and nerve your arm.
3 Take up your cross, nor heed the shame,
and let your foolish pride be still:
your Lord for you endured to die
upon a cross, on Calvary's hill.
4 Take up your cross, then, in his strength,
and calmly every danger brave;
'twill guide you to a better home,
and lead to victory o'er the grave.
5 Take up your cross and follow Christ,
nor think till death to lay it down;
for only those who bear the cross
may hope to wear the glorious crown. Scripture: Matthew 10:24-39 Languages: English Tune Title: BRESLAU

Jesus Calls Us! O'er the Tumult
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #432 (1998) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: Call and Vocation Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us! O'er the tumult
of our life's wild, restless sea,
day by day his clear voice soundeth,
saying, "Christian, follow me!"
2 As of old Saint Andrew heard it
by the Galilean lake,
turned from home and toil and kindred,
leaving all for his dear sake.
3 Jesus calls us from the worship
of the vain world's golden store;
from each idol that would keep us,
saying, "Christian, love me more."
4 In our joys and in our sorrows,
days of toil and hours of ease,
still he calls, in cares and pleasures,
"Christian, love me more than these."
5 Jesus calls us! By thy mercies,
Saviour, may we hear thy call,
give our hearts to thine obedience,
serve and love thee best of all. Scripture: Matthew 4:12-23 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. OSWALD

Lord, You Give the Great Commission
Author: Jeffery Rowthorn (1954-) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #433 (1998) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Call and Vocation 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 empower 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 fervour, draw us
closer in community;
with the Spirit's gifts empower us
for the work of ministry.
3 Lord, you make the common holy:
"This my body, this my blood."
Let your priests, 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 empower 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 empower 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 empower us
for the work of ministry. Scripture: Deuteronomy 10:12-22 Languages: English Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH
Lord, You Give the Great Commission

filled with messages from thee;
take my intellect, and use
every power as thou shalt choose.

it shall be no longer mine;
take my heart, it is thine own;
it shall be thy royal throne.

at thy feet its treasure store.;

ever, only, all for thee. Scripture: Isaiah 6:1-8 Languages: English Tune Title: MOZART

I Bind unto Myself Today
Author: Patrick of Ireland (389?-461?); Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #436 (1998) Meter: Irregular Topics: Call and Vocation Lyrics: 1 I bind unto myself today
the strong name of the Trinity,
by invocation of the same,
the Three-in-One, and One-in-Three.
2 I bind this day to me for ever,
by power of faith, Christ's incarnation,
his baptism in the Jordan river,
his death on cross for my salvation.
His bursting from the spiced tomb,
his riding up the heavenly way,
his coming at the day of doom,
I bind unto myself today.
3 I bind unto myself today
the virtues of the starlit heaven,
the glorious sun's life-giving ray,
the whiteness of the moon at even,
the flashing of the lightning free,
the whirling wind's tempestuous shocks,
the stable earth, the deep salt sea,
around the old eternal rocks.
4 I bind unto myself today
the power of God to hold and lead,
his eye to watch, his might to stay,
his ear to hearken to my need,
the wisdom of my God to teach,
his hand to guide, his shield to ward;
the word of God to give me speech,
his heavenly host to be my guard.
5 Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
6 I bind unto myself the name,
the strong name of the Trinity,
by invocation of the same,
the Three-in-One, and One-in-Three.
of whom all nature hath creation,
eternal Father, Spirit, Word.
Praise to the Lord of my salvation,
salvation is of Christ the Lord. Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:1-9 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PATRICK'S BREASTPLATE
