Jesus calls us: o'er the tumult

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 986 hymnals Topics: Commissioning Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us: o'er the tumult of our life's wild restless sea, day by day his sweet voice soundeth, saying, 'Christian, follow me': 2 As of old Saint Andrew heard it by the Galilean lake, turned from home and toil and kindred leaving all for his dear sake. 3 Jesus calls us from the worship of the vain world's golden store, from each idol that would keep us, saying, 'Christian, love me more.' 4 In our joys and in our sorrows, days of toil and hours of ease, still he calls, in cares and pleasures, that we love him more than these. 5 Jesus calls us: by thy mercies, Saviour, make us hear thy call, give our hearts to thine obedience, serve and love thee best of all. Scripture: John 1:35-42 Used With Tune: ST ANDREW

Author: Mary Louise Bringle, 1953- Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.6.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Commission Lyrics: 1 With a word, you birthed creation, giving shape to boundless space casting light through velvet darkness by the brilliance of your grace. With a word, you formed all beings, filling land, air, and sea; human creatures, in your image, by your sovereign, "Let there be." 2 With a word, you raised up prophets, for a parched and yearning earth, bringing hope to thirsty people with the promise of new birth. With a word you fired their visions with the pow'r of your dreams; "Let my justice roll like waters; and my peace, like flowing streams." 3 With a Word, you came among us, born in flesh and full of grace. In the body of Christ Jesus, you revealed your human face. With his Word, you still inspire us for the work that we do: "Love and live for one another, as I lived and died for you." Scripture: Genesis 1:1-3 Used With Tune: VERBUM

As We Gather at Your Table

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Commissioning; Commissioning; Commissioning Lyrics: 1 As we gather at your Table, As we listen to your Word, Help us know, O God, your presence: Let our hearts and minds be stirred. Nourish us with sacred story Till we claim it as our own; Teach us through this holy banquet How to make Love’s vict'ry known. 2 Turn our worship into witness In the sacrament of life; Send us forth to love and serve you, Bringing peace where there is strife. Give us, Christ, your great compassion To forgive as you forgave; May we still behold your image In the world you died to save. 3 Gracious Spirit, help us summon Other guests to share that feast Where triumphant Love will welcome Those who had been last and least. There no more will envy blind us Nor will pride our peace destroy, As we join with saints and angels To repeat the sounding joy. Used With Tune: NETTLETON
