Now once again for help that never faileth

Author: Mildred Whitney Stillman Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now once again for help that never faileth, We bring our grievous burden unto thee. Pour down thy strength, for nothing else availeth, Bless thou the blowing head, the bending knee. 2 That we may rise and go forth from thine altar, To bear the load we could not bear before, With mind serene, with step that does not falter, Knowing thy hand will open ev’ry door. 3 Knowing there will not be so dark a valley But those who watch may find thy guiding ray, Knowing there will not be so blind an alley But it will open on thy broad highway. 4 O Light that led the saints through all the ages, O Hope that lifted up the martyr’s head, O Comforter of children and of sages, Lead on! Lead on, as thou hast always led! Topics: Aspiration; Assurance; God Abiding Presence; Personal Religion Worship Used With Tune: WELWYN

Children of God

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Children of God, lift hearts to one another Lyrics: 1 Children of God, lift hearts to one another, where pity dwells, the peace of God is there; To worship rightly is to love each other, each smile a hymn, each kindly deed a prayer. 2 For God whom Jesus loved has truly spoken: the holier worship which Christ deigns to bless Restores the lost, and binds the spirit broken, and feeds the widow and the parentless. 3 Follow with reverent steps the great example of Christ whose holy work was doing good; So shall the wide earth seem a holy temple, each loving life a psalm of gratitude. 4 Then shall all shackles fall; the stormy clangor of wild war music o'er the earth shall cease; Love shall tread out the baleful fire of anger, and in its ashes plant the tree of peace.

We Turn To You

Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 10 hymnals First Line: We turn to you, O God of every nation Lyrics: 1 We turn to you, O God of every nation, giver of good and origin of life; your love is at the heart of all creation, your hurt is people's pain in war and death. 2 We turn to you that we may be forgiven for crucifying Christ on earth again. We know that we have never wholly striven to share with all the promise of your reign. 3 Free every heart from haughty self-reliance, our ways of thought inspire with simple grace; break down among us barriers of defiance, speak to the soul of all the human race. 4 On all who rise on earth for right relations, we pray the light of love from hour to hour. Grant wisdom to the leaders of the nations, the gift of carefulness to those in power. 5 Teach us, good Lord, to serve the need of others, help us to give and not to count the cost. Unite us all to live as sisters, brothers, defeat our Babel with your Pentecost! Fred Kaan (1929-2009) © 1967, 1991, 1997 Stainer & Bell Ltd 11 10 11 10 Used By Permission.

I am Christ’s, and the name suffice you, Ay, for me too He greatly hath sufficed: Christ is the end, for Christ was the beginning, Christ the beginning, for the end is Christ. 2. Can it be true, the grace He is declaring? O let us trust Him, for His words are fair. Man, what is this, and why art thou despairing? God shall forgive thee all but thy despair. 3. Not as one blind and deaf to our beseeching, Neither forgetful that we are but dust, Not as from heavens too high for our up-reaching, Coldly sublime, intolerably just— 4. Nay, but thou knowest us, Lord Christ Thou knowest, Well Thou rememberest our feeble frame; Thou canst conceive our highest and our lowest, Pulses of nobleness and deeds of shame. 5. Christ! I am Christ’s, and the name suffice you, Ay, for me too He greatly hath sufficed: Christ is the end, for Christ was the beginning, Christ the beginning, for the end is Christ. Used With Tune: WELWYN

Come, break us open to receive your healing: your broken body be our wine and bread.
