Go, Labor On! Spend and Be Spent

Spend and be spent! Lyrics: 1 Go, labor on! Spend and be spent! Thy joy to do the Father's will; It is the way the Master went; Should not the servant tread it still? 2 Go, labor on! 'Tis not for naught; Thine earthly loss is heav'nly gain; Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not, The Master praises: what are men? 3 Go, labor on! while it is day! The world's dark night is hastening on: The willing heart to mark and cheer: No toil for Him shall be in vain. 4 Go, labor on, while it is day! The world's dark night is hastening on: Speed, speed thy work! Cast sloth away! It is not thus that souls are won. 5 Toil on, faint not! Keep watch, and pray! Be wise the erring soul to win! Go forth, into the world's highway! Compel the wanderer to come in! 6 Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice! For toil comes rest, for exile, home; Soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom's voice, The midnight peak, "Behold, I come!" Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: WALTHAM

Author: Georgia Elma Harkness, 1891-1974 Hymnal: Hymns for a Pilgrim People #543 (2007) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Commissioning Lyrics: 1 Tell it! Tell it out with gladness - God's good news to ev'ry land, Sin forgiven, lives transfigured, All in God's great loving plan. In the Book is found the witness To His mighty acts of yore: Listen, heed, obey, and serve Him, Kneel before Him and adore. 2 Lord, we thank Thee for the treasure Hid within the sacred page. We would be Thy faithful heralds To our deeply troubled age; We would publish Thy salvation, Ever on Thy side to stand, Living, serving, giving, sending Life to quicken ev'ry land. 3 "Go and teach," thus spoke the Master, Risen victor from the grave. Still He gives this great commission To His faithful ones, and brave. Let men know the gospel story Of what all through Christ can be. Send it! Send it to the nations That God's love may set us free.

A prophet-woman broke a jar

Author: Brian A. Wren, 1936- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #588 (1997) Topics: Sacraments and Ordinances Ordination / Commissioning Lyrics: 1 A prophet-woman broke a jar by Love’s divine appointing. With rare perfume she filled the room, presiding and anointing. A prophet-woman broke a jar, the sneers of scorn defying. With rare perfume she filled the room, preparing Christ for dying. 2 A faithful woman left a tomb by Love’s divine commission. She saw, she heard, she preached the Word, arising from submission. A faithful woman left a tomb, with resurrection gospel; she saw, she heard, she preached the Word, apostle to apostles. 3 Though woman-wisdom, woman-truth, for centuries were hidden, unsung, unwritten and unheard, derided and forbidden, the Spirit’s breath, the Spirit’s fire, on free and slave descending, can tumble our dividing walls, our shame and sadness mending. 4 The Spirit knows, the Spirit calls, by Love’s divine ordaining, the friends we need, to serve and lead, their powers and gifts unchaining. The Spirit knows, the Spirit calls, from women, men and children, the friends we need, to serve and lead. Rejoice, and make them welcome! Scripture: Matthew 26:6-13 Languages: English Tune Title: MEGERRAN

We All Are One in Mission

Author: Rusty Edwards Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #620 (1995) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Commissioning Lyrics: 1 We all are one in mission, we all are one in call, our varied gifts united by Christ, the Lord of all. A single, great commission compels us from above to plan and work together that all may know Christ's love. 2 We all are called for service to witness in God's name. Our ministries are diff'rent, our purpose is the same: to touch the lives of others by God's surprising grace so ev'ry folk and nation may feel God's warm embrace. 3 We all behold one vision, a stark reality: the author of salvation was nailed upon a tree. Yet resurrected justice gives rise that we may share free reconciliation and hope amid despair. 4 Now let us be united and let our song be heard. Now let us be a vessel for God's redeeming word. We all are one in mission, we all are one in call, our varied gifts united by Christ, the Lord of all. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12 Languages: English Tune Title: ACCORD
