God Is Here!

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 49 hymnals Topics: Will of God First Line: God is here! As we your people Lyrics: 1 God is here! As we your people meet to offer praise and prayer, may we find in fuller measure what it is in Christ we share. Here, as in the world around us, all our varied skills and arts wait the coming of the Spirit into open minds and hearts. 2 Here are symbols to remind us of our lifelong need of grace; here are table, font, and pulpit; here the cross has central place. Here in honesty of preaching, here in silence, as in speech, here, in newness and renewal, God the Spirit comes to each. 3 Here our children find a welcome in the Shepherd's flock and fold; here as bread and wine are taken, Christ sustains us as of old. Here the servants of the Servant seek in worship to explore what it means in daily living to believe and to adore. 4 Lord of all, of church and kingdom, in an age of change and doubt keep us faithful to the gospel; help us work your purpose out. Here, in this day's dedication, all we have to give, receive: we, who cannot live without you, we adore you! We believe! Scripture: Isaiah 42:1 Used With Tune: ABBOT’S LEIGH

Lord, when we bend before Thy throne

Author: J. D. Carlyle, 1758-1804 Appears in 330 hymnals Topics: Will Of God Lyrics: 1 Lord, when we bend before Thy throne, And our confessions pour, Teach us to feel the sins we own, And hate what we deplore. 2 Our broken spirits, pitying, see, And penitence impart; And let a kindling glance from Thee Beam hope upon the heart. 3 When we disclose our wants in prayer, May we our wills resign, And not a thought our bosom share That is not wholly Thine. 4 May faith each weak petition fill, And waft it to the skies; And teach our hearts 'tis goodness still That grants it, or denies.

How Sure the Scriptures Are!

Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Will of God Lyrics: 1 How sure the Scriptures are! God's vital, urgent word, as true as steel, and far more sharp than any sword: so deep and fine, at his control they pierce where soul and spirit join. 2 They test each human thought, refining like a fire; they measure what we ought to do and to desire: for God know all - exposed it lies before his eyes to whom we call. 3 Let those who hear his voice confronting them today, reject the tempting choice of doubting or delay: for God speaks still - his word is clear, so let us hear and do his will!

Author: Arthur C. Ainger Meter: Irregular Appears in 95 hymnals Topics: Will of God; Will of God Lyrics: 1 God is working his purpose out, as year succeeds to year: God is working his purpose out, and the time is drawing near; nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be, when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 2 From utmost east to utmost west, where'er the church has gone, by the mouth of many messengers the call of God has come: Listen to me, you continents; you isles, give ear to me, that the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 3 March we forth in the strength of God, with the banner of Christ unfurled, that the light of the glorious gospel of truth may shine throughout the world: fight we the fight with sorrow and sin to set their captives free, that the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 4 All we can do is done in vain unless God blesses the deed; vainly we hope for the harvesttide till God gives life to the seed; yet nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be, when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.

O God, My Faithful God

Author: Johann Heermann; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 64 hymnals Topics: Will of God; Will of God Lyrics: 1 O God, my faithful God, true fountain ever flowing, without whom nothing is, all perfect gifts bestowing: give me a healthy frame, and may I have within a conscience free from blame, a soul unstained by sin. 2 Give me the strength to do with ready heart and willing whatever you command, my calling here fulfilling. Help me do what I should in all that comes my way; I know that you are good, you bless those who obey. 3 Keep me from saying words that later need recalling; guard me lest idle speech may from my lips be falling; but when within my place I must and ought to speak, then to my words give grace lest I offend the weak. 4 When dangers gather round, O keep me calm and fearless; help me to bear the cross when life seems dark and cheerless. Help me, as you have taught, to love both great and small, and by your Spirit's might to live at peace with all. Scripture: Psalm 141:3 Used With Tune: DARMSTADT
