Not for Ourselves, O Lord

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Occasional Services Ordination and/or Installation First Line: Not for ourselves, O Lord, not for ourselves Lyrics: 1 Not for ourselves, O Lord, not for ourselves, would we claim glory, but for you alone, because of your great love and faithfulness, the steadfast care that makes your presence known. 2 The worldly say of us: "Where is their God?" They vainly look for what they idolize, for flaunted wealth, for burnished images, and trim all gods to their own shape and size. 3 But we will trust in God, our help and shield, transcendent Life on whom all lives depend, whose untold mercies give our spirits voice to bless the Lord in songs that never end. Scripture: Psalm 115 Used With Tune: TOULON

When Stephen, Full of Power and Grace

Author: Jan Struther Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Acts of the Church Installation Lyrics: 1 When Stephen, full of power and grace, Went forth throughout the land, He bore no shield before his face, No weapon in his hand; But only in his heart a flame And on his lips a sword Wherewith he smote and overcame The foemen of the Lord. 2 When Stephen preached against the laws And by those laws was tried, He had no friend to plead his cause, No spokesman at his side; But only in his heart a flame And in his eyes a light Wherewith God's daybreak to proclaim And rend the veils of night. 3 When Stephen, young and doomed to die, Fell crushed beneath the stones, He had no curse nor vengeful cry For those who broke his bones; But only in his heart a flame And on his lips a prayer That God, in sweet forgiveness' name, Should understand and spare. 4 Let me, O Lord, your cause defend, A knight without a sword; No shield I ask, no faithful friend, No vengeance, no reward; But only in my heart a flame And in my soul a dream, So that the stones of earthly shame A jeweled crown may seem. Amen. Scripture: Acts 6, 7 Used With Tune: SALVATION
