Facing a Task Unfinished

Author: Frank Houghton Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #634 (1995) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Christian Warfare Lyrics: 1 Facing a task unfinished that drives us to our knees, a need that, undiminished, rebukes our slothful ease, we who rejoice to know you renew before your throne the solemn pledge we owe you to go and make you known. 2 Where other lords beside you hold their unhindered sway, where forces that defied you defy you still today, with none to heed their crying for life and love and light, unnumbered souls are dying and pass into the night. 3 We bear the torch that flaming fell from the hands of those who gave their lives proclaiming that Jesus died and rose; ours is the same commission, the same glad message ours; fired by the same ambition, to you we yield our pow'rs. 4 O Father, who sustained them, O Spirit, who inspired, Savior, whose love constrained them to toil with zeal untired, from cowardice defend us, from lethargy awake! Forth on your errands send us to labor for your sake. Scripture: Matthew 10 Languages: English Tune Title: NYLAND

Bayly Hymnal: The Worshipbook #646 (1972) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Christian Year Pentecost Lyrics: 1 Your love, O God, has all mankind created, And led your people to this present hour. In Christ we see love's glory consummated, Your spirit manifests his living power. 2 We bring you, Lord, in fervent intercession The children of your world-wide family; With contrite hearts we offer our confession, For we have sinned against your charity. 3 In pity look upon your children's striving For life and freedom, peace and brotherhood, Till, at the fullness of your truth arriving, We find in Christ the crown of every good. 4 Inspire the church, mid earth's discordant voices, To preach the gospel of her Lord above; Until the day this warring world rejoices To heart the mighty harmonies of love. 5 Until the tidings men have long awaited, From north to south, from east to west shall ring; And all mankind, by Jesus liberated, Proclaims in jubilation Christ is King! Amen. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17 Tune Title: L'OMNIPOTENT
