Deep in the Shadows of the Past
Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Call/Calling Lyrics: 1 Deep in the shadows of the past,
far out from settled lands,
some nomads traveled with their God
across the desert sands.
The dawning hope of humankind
by them was sensed and shown:
a promise calling them ahead,
a future yet unknown.
2 While others bowed to changeless gods
they met a mystery,
invisible, without a name:
"I AM WHAT I WILL BE";
and by their tents, around their fires
in story, song, and law,
they praised, remembered, handed on
a past that promised more.
3 From Exodus to Pentecost
the promise changed and grew,
while some, remembering the past,
recorded what they knew,
or with their letters and laments,
their prophecy and praise,
recovered, kindled, and expressed
new hope for changing days.
4 For all the writings that survived,
for leaders long ago
who sifted, copied, and preserved
the Bible that we know,
give thanks, and find its story yet
our promise, strength, and call,
the model of emerging faith,
alive with hope for all. Scripture: 1 Timothy 4:13 Used With Tune: SHEPHERDS' PIPES

Lord, You Give the Great Commission
Author: Jeffery Rowthorn Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 45 hymnals Topics: The Nature of the Church Called to God's Mission Refrain First Line: With the Spirit's gifts empower us 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 fervor, 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 us all, 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: Matthew 28:19-20 Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH
Lord, You Give the Great Commission
Sing Praise to God, Whose Mighty Acts
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Elements of Worship Call to Worship Lyrics: 1 Sing praise to God, whose mighty acts
still strong in memory stand
to give us hope when evil seems
to gain the upper hand.
Give thanks for deeds of steadfast love,
for wonders new and old:
for fire and cloud, for daily food,
for mercies yet untold.
2 Though monuments of evil rise
in marble, gilt, and stone,
time’s search will find their boasts untrue,
their makers’ names unknown.
Mute avenues of ruins will mark
where once proud cities stood,
but from destruction God will save
the faithful, just, and good.
3 Rise up, O God, reclaim the power
usurped by mortal pride,
deflate the hollow pomp of those
whom rank and titles hide.
Let not the needy cry unheard,
the suffering hope in vain;
restore the fallen, bless the meek,
till peace and justice reign. Scripture: Psalm 9 Used With Tune: SALVATION

How Beauteous Are Their Feet
Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 720 hymnals Topics: Call and Vocation Lyrics: 1 How beauteous are their feet
who stand on Zion's hill,
who bring salvation on their tongues
and words of peace reveal!
2 How welcome is their voice,
how sweet the tidings are!
Zion, behold thy Saviour King;
he reigns and triumphs here.
3 How happy are our ears
that hear this joyful sound,
which seers and rulers waited for
and sought, but never found.
4 How blessed are our eyes
that see this heavenly light!
Prophets and saints desired it long,
but died without the sight.
5 The sentinels in song
their tuneful notes employ;
Jerusalem breaks forth in hymns
and deserts sing for joy.
6 The glory of the Lord
shines through the earth abroad:
let every nation now behold
their Saviour and their God. Scripture: 2 Samuel 23:1-7 Used With Tune: VENICE

Throw Out the Lifeline
Author: Edward S. Ufford, 1851-1929 Meter: Irregular with refrain Appears in 397 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Call to Discipleship First Line: Throw out the lifeline across the dark wave Refrain First Line: Throw out the lifeline! Lyrics: 1 Throw out the lifeline across the dark wave;
There is a brother whom someone should save;
Somebody’s brother, O who then will dare
To throw out the lifeline, his peril to share?
Refrain:
Throw out the lifeline! Throw out the lifeline!
Someone is drifting away;
Throw out the lifeline! Throw out the lifeline!
Someone is sinking today.
2 Throw out the lifeline with hand quick and strong;
Why do you tarry, why linger so long?
See, he is sinking, O hasten today;
And out with the lifeboat, away, then, away! [Refrain]
3 Throw out the lifeline to danger-fraught men,
Sinking in anguish where you’ve never been;
Winds of temptation and billows of woe
Will soon hurl them out where the dark waters flow. [Refrain]
4 Soon will the season of rescue be o’er;
Soon will they drift to eternity’s shore;
Haste then, my brother, no time for delay!
But throw out the lifeline and save them today. [Refrain]
Scripture: Romans 10:12-14 Used With Tune: LIFELINE

Of mortals here below:
May I its great importance learn,
Its sovereign virtue know!
2 O may my heart, by grace renewed,
Be my Redeemer’s throne;
And be my stubborn will subdued,
His government to own!
3 Let deep repentance, faith, and love
Be joined with godly fear;
And all my conversation prove
My heart to be sincere.
4 Let lively hope my soul inspire;
Let warm affections rise;
And may I wait with strong desire
To mount above the skies!
AMEN. Used With Tune: GREEN HILL
