Christ Loves the Church

Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #590 (1989) Meter: 11.10.10.11 Topics: The Nature of the Church Called to God's Mission First Line: Christ loves the church, with grace beyond all measure Lyrics: 1 Christ loves the church, with grace beyond all measure. We bear his name, for all the world to see. He will not let us go or let us be, but chooses earthen vessels for his treasure. 2 Christ bears the church, corrupted or conforming, obsessed with trifles, blessing greed and war. His love outwits us, spinning gold from straw, through saints and prophets, praying and reforming. 3 Christ feeds the church, and fills us with a vision, through praise and preaching, wine and broken bread, of sharing people, doing what they've said, who win the world's respect, or opposition. 4 Christ needs the church, to live and tell his story, to praise his love and marvel at his trust, till, bathed in light, awakened from the dust, we walk with God, alive in grace and glory.

Man the life-boat! Lyrics: 1 Man the life-boat! Man the life-boat! Strong and short above the roar, Sounds the order to the watchers On the tempest-beaten shore, Hark! again the guns appealing! Signals burn for a swift relief; There are men and wives and children, Facing death, on yonder reef! Chorus: Man the life-boat! Man the life-boat! Help, for Christ's sake, them that drown! In the peril of great waters, Let them not go down! 2 Man the life-boat! Man the life-boat! Fog and night and cruel sea, All the odds of death against them, And eternal jeopardy. Thou, who bid'st us dare the surges, Stay us at the struggling oar! Nay! go with us to the rescue! Shall they sink in sight of shore? [Chorus] 3 Man the life-boat! Man the life-boat! Courage, fellow men! 'tis He, Guiding us to your deliv'rance, Once that trod the Galilee! And the boat that carries Jesus, Floods of death shall not o'erwhelm; Scourging storms but urge us homeward; Life and love are at the helm! [Chorus] 4 Man the life-boat! Man the life-boat! Think how once on breaking deck Thou didst stand aghast, till Jesus Bro't thee from the lurching wreck. To the oars then! O Redeemer, Let Thy heart throb thro' our hand, Till the souls in mortal danger, Find thro' Thee the solid land. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Man the life-boat! Man the life-boat!]

Down in the human heart, crushed by the tempter, feelings lie buried that grace can restore; touched by a loving heart, wakened by kindness, chords that were broken will vibrate once more.
