Bigger Barns

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: "Bigger barns are what I need" Lyrics: “Bigger barns are what I need,” so a rich man said one day. “From my worries I’ll be free when my wealth is stored away.” “Fool!” God said, “Today you’ll die!” Will that wealth mean anything? All life’s blessings really lie in the gifts that wealth can’t bring. “Bigger barns are what we need for our money, gadgets, more!” Lord, we’re tempted to believe having wealth, we’ll be secure! Somewhere children cry for food or to have a doctor’s care. Can our bigger barns be good when poor neighbors know despair? God of love, we long to know what will make us truly blest. Jesus taught us long ago wealth won’t give us peace or rest. You are our security! Safe in you, we serve, O Lord. May we find we’re rich indeed when we’re sharing with the poor.

Body broken for our good

Author: Alan Gaunt (b. 1935) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Body broken for our good, and that body's precious blood: we receive them to our shame, who dishonour Jesus' name. Every day more blood is shed; flesh is broken, left for dead. Where earth's children bleed and die, it is Christ we crucify. 2 Yet your love, God, draws us near, though unworthy to be here; we have nothing good to bring, yet you give us everything! Here you give us Christ who died, resurrected, glorified; his humanity, divine, here is ours in bread and wine. 3 In communion with this Lord, faith, hope, love are all restored; here is wealth beyond compare, wealth for all the world to share. He reclaims our every breath: all our life and even death cannot be too great a price, to complete his sacrifice. 4 Time, with energy and health, talent, poverty or wealth: all are yours, Lord, taken up in the sign of bread and cup. Though we may be broken too, and our lives poured out for you, make of us the living sign of your love in bread and wine.

Jesus, Sailing On the Sea

Author: Alan Gaunt Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Jesus, sailing on the sea, through a storm on Galilee, on a cushion fast asleep, heedless of the raging deep: your disciples, full of dread, fearing they will soon be dead, shake you, crying in despair, "We are drowning! Don't you care?" 2 Soon, before the boat can spill, you are shouting, "Peace! Be still!" Now the wind and sea are calm, and the crew are safe from harm. You say, "Why are you afraid, why distraught and so dismayed? Is your trust in God so small; do you have no faith at all?" 3 Your disciples, filled with awe, say, "Who's known such things before? Who is this we've seen today, whom the wind and waves obey?" Lord, though we are frightened too by the harm the world can do, calm our fears when tempests rise; give us faith that never dies.

Lamb Of God, We Follow Thee

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Lamb of God, we follow Thee, Willing as Thou art to be, Joyful in Thy steps to go, Suffering for Thy sake below. Taking up our daily cross, Called to shame, and pain, and loss, Well contented to sustain All the rage of cruel man. 2 Who Thy lovely pattern knows Cannot force with force oppose, They that to Thy fold belong Dare not render wrong for wrong. Bruised by the oppressor’s hand Evil they will ne’er withstand, All that follow Thee are meek, Taught to turn the other cheek. 3 Jesu, in Thy gracious power, Lo! we meet the fiery hour, Calm, dispassionate, resigned, Armed with all Thy patient mind. After Thee with joy we come, Sheep before our shearers dumb, Answering not one angry word, True disciples of our Lord. 4 Suffering here we threaten not, Innocent in word and thought, Harmless as a wounded dove, Hatred we repay with love. Turn, almighty as Thou art, Turn our persecutors’ heart, Let them to our faith be given, Let us meet our foes in Heaven.

Jézus, Lelkem Szerelme

Author: Charles Wesley; Anna Piroska Williams Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Jézus, lelkem szerelme, Hadd meneküljek Hozzád! Míg zúg vihara ereje, Ádáz hullám hogyha bánt. Védj meg, rejts el, Megváltóm! Hisz’ éltem csak küzdelem! Vezéreljed hithajóm, Míg majd mennybe érkezem! 2 Csak Hozzád fordulhatok, Te vagy minden támaszom. Ne hagyj el, mert meghalok, Egyetlen Vígasztalóm! Benned bízom teljesen, Lelkem elvész egymaga; Védje védtelen fejem Szárnyad védő árnyéka! 3 Szívem csak Téged kíván, Benned mindent megtalál, Gyógyító kezed nyomán Béna, s halott talpra áll. Szent, igaz a Te Neved, Saját igazságom nincs. Reám adta jellemed, Új öltönyöm drága kincs. 4 Kegyelmed bőven árad, Elfedi minden bűnöm, Nyomán gyógyulás fakad, Hadd tisztítsa meg bensőm. Éleforrás csak Te vagy, Hadd merüljek el beléd, Szívem mélyén hogyha vagy, Már enyém az öröklét. Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH
