Great God, Your Love Has Called Us Here
Author: Brian Wren (1936-) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 34 hymnals Topics: Call and Vocation Lyrics: 1 Great God, your love has called us here
as we, by love, for love were made.
Your living likeness still we bear,
though marred, dishonoured, disobeyed.
We come, with all our heart and mind
your call to hear, your love to find.
2 We come with self-inflicted pains
of broken trust and chosen wrong;
half-free, half-bound by inner chains;
by social forces swept along,
by powers and systems close confined;
yet seeking hope for humankind.
3 Great God, in Christ you call our name
and then receive us as your own
not through some merit, right, or claim,
but by your gracious love alone.
We strain to glimpse your mercy seat
and find you kneeling at our feet.
4 Then take the towel, and break the bread,
and humble us, and call us friends.
Suffer and serve till all are fed,
and show how grandly love intends
to work till all creation sings,
to fill all worlds, to crown all things.
5 Great God, in Christ you set us free
your life to live, your joy to share.
Give us your Spirit's liberty
to turn from guilt and dull despair
and offer all that faith can do
while love is making all things new. Scripture: Matthew 14:13-21 Used With Tune: ST. PETERSBURG

with some clear, winning word of love;

in closer, dearer company,
in work that keeps faith sure and strong,
in trust that triumphs over wrong,
4 in hope that sends a shining ray
far down the future's broadening way,
in peace that only thou canst give,
with thee, O Master, let me live. Used With Tune: MARYTON

Lord, We Hear Your Word with Gladness
Author: Margaret Clarkson (1915-) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Call and Vocation Lyrics: 1 Lord, we hear your word with gladness:
you have spoken– we rejoice:
words of love and life and freedom–
help us make their truth our choice!
Now in holy celebration
for your Word we worship you;
spoken, written, known in Jesus,
ours today to prove anew.
2 May we hear with understanding,
by your Spirit taught and led;
may the springs of all our being
by your living Word be fed;
may our hearts accept with meekness
all the grace your light makes known;
may obedience mark our footsteps
till we make each word our own!
3 You have spoken; yours the fullness,
ours the wealth of this your Word:
debtors, then as living letters,
we must make your gospel heard!
By your Spirit’s power transform us;
shed your saving light abroad
till our lives by love in action
show our world the truth of God! Scripture: Deuteronomy 30:11-20 Used With Tune: BLAENWERN

of circling planets singing on their way,
guide of the nations from the night profound
into the glory of the perfect day:
rule in our hearts, that we may live ever new,
guided and strengthened and upheld by you.
2 We are your own, the children of your love,
as dearly loved as your beloved Son;
descend, O Holy Spirit, like a dove,
and rule our hearts, that we may be as one:
as one with you, to whom we ever tend;
as one with Christ, our Saviour and our friend.
3 We would be one in hatred of all wrong,
one in our love of all things kind and fair,
one with the joy that finds a voice in song
one with the grief that trembles into prayer,
one in the power that makes your children free
to follow truth, and thus in you to be.
4 O clothe us with your heavenly armour, Lord,
your trusty shield and sword of love be ours;
our inspiration be your constant word;
we ask no victories that are not yours:
give or withhold, let pain or pleasure fall;
to know that we are serving you is all. Used With Tune: SONG 1

How Beauteous Are Their Feet
Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 720 hymnals Topics: Call and Vocation Lyrics: 1 How beauteous are their feet
who stand on Zion's hill,
who bring salvation on their tongues
and words of peace reveal!
2 How welcome is their voice,
how sweet the tidings are!
Zion, behold thy Saviour King;
he reigns and triumphs here.
3 How happy are our ears
that hear this joyful sound,
which seers and rulers waited for
and sought, but never found.
4 How blessed are our eyes
that see this heavenly light!
Prophets and saints desired it long,
but died without the sight.
5 The sentinels in song
their tuneful notes employ;
Jerusalem breaks forth in hymns
and deserts sing for joy.
6 The glory of the Lord
shines through the earth abroad:
let every nation now behold
their Saviour and their God. Scripture: 2 Samuel 23:1-7 Used With Tune: VENICE
