Dear Christ, uplifted from the earth
Author: Brian A. Wren, 1936- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #702 (1997) Topics: One Life in Christ Love Lyrics: 1 Dear Christ, uplifted from the earth,
your arms stretched out above
through every culture, every birth,
to draw an answering love.
2 Still east and west your love extends,
and always, near and far,
you call and claim us as your friends
and love us as we are.
3 Where age and gender, class and race,
divide us to our shame,
you see a person and a face,
a neighbour with a name.
4 May we, accepted as we are,
yet called in grace to grow,
reach out to others, near and far
your healing love to show. Scripture: Matthew 8:11 Languages: English Tune Title: DUNLAP'S CREEK
Dear Christ, uplifted from the earth

tender and true, tender and true;
out of the heart of the Father above,
streaming to me and to you:
wonderful love, wonderful love
dwells in the heart of the Father above.
2 Jesus the Saviour this gospel to tell
joyfully came, joyfully came,
came with the helpless and hopeless to dwell,
sharing their sorrow and shame;
seeking the lost, seeking the lost,
saving, redeeming at measureless cost.
3 Jesus is seeking the wanderers yet;
why do they roam? why do they roam?
Love only waits to forgive and forget;
home, weary wanderers, home:
Wonderful love, wonderful love
dwells in the heart of the Father above.
4 Come to my heart, O thou wonderful love;
come and abide, come and abide,
lifting my life till it rises above
envy and falsehood and pride:
seeking to be, seeking to be
lowly and humble, a learner of thee. Scripture: 2 Peter 3:1 Languages: English Tune Title: WONDERFUL LOVE
Come, let us sing

Where there is hatred, let me bring your love;
where there is injury, your healing power,
and where there’s doubt, true faith in you.
2 Make me a channel of your peace:
where there’s despair in life let me bring hope;
Where there is darkness, only light,
and where there’s sadness, ever joy.
3 O, Spirit, grant that I may never seek
so much to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love with all my soul.
4 Make me a channel of your peace:
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
in giving to all that we receive,
and in dying that we’re born to eternal life.

What a friend we have in Jesus
Author: Joseph Scriven, 1820-1886 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #746 (1997) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: One Life in Christ Peace Lyrics: 1 What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear;
what a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer.
Oh what peace we often forfeit,
oh what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer.
2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged:
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful,
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness:
take it to the Lord in prayer.
3 Are we weak and heavy-laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour, still our refuge:
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
in his arms he'll take and shield thee;
thou wilt find a solace there.

1 Quel ami fidèle et tendre
nous avons en Jésus-Christ,
toujours prêt à nous entendre,
à répondre à notre cri!
Il connaît nos défaillances,
nos chutes de chaque jour,
sévère en ses exigences,
il est riche en son amour.
2 Quel ami fidèle et tendre
nous avons en Jésus-Christ,
toujours prêt à nous comprendre
quand nous sommes en souci!
Disons-lui toutes nos craintes,
ouvrons-lui tout notre coeur.
Bientôt ses paroles saintes
nous rendront le vrai bonheur.
3 Quel ami fidèle et tendre

bientôt nous aurons la joie
de vivre avec lui toujours!

Author: W. D. Longstaff, 1822-1894 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #638 (1997) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: One Life in Christ Discipleship First Line: Take time to be holy; speak oft with thy Lord Lyrics: 1 Take time to be holy;
speak oft with thy Lord,
abide in him always,
and feed on his word.
Make friends of God's children;
help those who are weak,
forgetting in nothing
his blessing to seek.
2 Take time to be holy;
the world rushes on;
spend much time in secret
with Jesus alone.
By looking to Jesus,
like him thou shalt be;
thy friends in thy conduct
his likeness shall see.
3 Take time to be holy;
let him be thy guide,
and run not before him,
whatever betide.
In joy or in sorrow,
still follow thy Lord,
and, looking to Jesus,
still trust in his word.
4 Take time to be holy;
be calm in thy soul;
each thought and each motive
beneath his control.
Thus led by his Spirit
to fountains of love,
thou soon shalt be fitted
for service above. Scripture: Psalm 46:10 Languages: English Tune Title: TAKE TIME TO BE HOLY

How clear is our vocation, Lord
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #649 (1997) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Topics: One Life in Christ Discipleship Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord,
when once we heed your call:
to live according to your Word,
and daily learn, refreshed, restored
that you are Lord of all
and will not let us fall.
2 But if, forgetful, we should find
your yoke is hard to bear,
if worldly pressures fray the mind
and love itself cannot unwind
its tangled skein of care:
our inward life repair.
3 We mark your saints, how they became
in hindrances more sure,
whose joyful virtues put to shame
the casual way we wear your name,
and by our faults obscure
your power to cleanse and cure.
4 In what you give us, Lord, to do,
together or alone,
in old routines and ventures new,
may we not cease to look to you–
the cross you hung upon—
all you endeavored done. Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30 Languages: English Tune Title: REPTON
How clear is our vocation, Lord
