Dear Lord and Father of mankind
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #621b (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
forgive our foolish ways;
re-clothe us in our rightful mind,
in purer lives thy service find,
in deeper reverence praise.
2 In simple trust like theirs who heard,
beside the Syrian sea,
the gracious calling of the Lord,
let us, like them, without a word
rise up and follow thee.
3 O Sabbath rest by Galilee!
O calm of hills above,
where Jesus knelt to share with thee
the silence of eternity,
interpreted by love!
4 Drop thy still dews of quietness,
till all our strivings cease;
take from our souls the strain and stress,
and let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of thy peace.
5 Breathe through the heats of our desire
thy coolness and thy balm;
let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still small voice of calm.

How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord
Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #644 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 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 pow'r to cleanse and cure.
4 In what you give us, Lord, to do,
together or alone,
in old routines or ventures new,
may we not cease to look to you -
the cross you hung upon -
all you endeavored done. Topics: Ministry and Christian Vocation; Christ--Abiding with believers; Christian vocation; Ministry Scripture: Isaiah 6:8 Languages: English Tune Title: REPTON

Be Present, Spirit of the Lord
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Hymnal: RitualSong (2nd ed.) #658 (2016) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Lyrics: 1 Be present, Spirit of the Lord,
Let sounds of earth be dumb;
The Father's love be shed abroad,
The dew of blessing on us poured:
O silent Spirit, come!
O silent Spirit, come!
2 In pow'r unseen upon us rest,
Your gracious gifts impart:
A mind renewed, a spirit blessed,
A life where Christ is manifest,
An understanding heart,
An understanding heart.
3 Love's sov'reign work of grace fulfill,
Our souls to Christ incline,
Intent to do the Father's will
And stand by faith before him still
In righteousness divine,
In righteousness divine.
4 O Spirit, come, and with us stay;
Make every heart your home.
So work in us that we who pray
May walk with Christ in wisdom's way:
O Holy Spirit, come!
O Holy Spirit, come! Topics: Pentecost; Holy Spirit Languages: English Tune Title: REPTON

He Comes to Us as One Unknown
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Hymnal: Worship (4th ed.) #675 (2011) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Lyrics: 1 He comes to us as one unknown,
A breath unseen, unheard;
As though within a heart of stone,
Or shriveled seed in darkness sown,
A pulse of being stirred,
A pulse of being stirred.
2 He comes when souls in silence lie
And thoughts of day depart;
Half seen upon the inward eye,
A falling star across the sky
Of night within the heart,
Of night within the heart.
3 He comes to us in sound of seas,
The ocean's fume and foam;
Yet small and still upon the breeze,
A wind that stirs the tops of trees,
A voice to call us home,
A voice to call us home.
4 He comes in love as once he came
By flesh and blood and birth;
To bear within our mortal frame
A life, a death, a saving Name,
For ev'ry child of earth,
For ev'ry child of earth.
5 He comes in truth when faith is grown;
Believed, obeyed, adored:
The Christ in all the scriptures shown,
As yet unseen, but not unknown,
Our Savior and our Lord,
Our Savior and our Lord. Topics: Faith Languages: English Tune Title: REPTON

May Christ, the Lord of Cana's feast
Author: David Mowbray, 1938- Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #679 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Lyrics: 1 May Christ, the Lord of Cana's feast,
who made the water wine,
be welcomed as the honoured guest,
our risen Master now confessed.
God's messenger and sign:
God's messenger and sign.
2 What God has joined, we hear him say,
let no-one tear apart!
With his two servants here today
may Christ's own love for ever stay,
true bond of mind and heart;
true bond of mind and heart.
3 Whatever joys or sorrows come,
may steadfastness be their!
God's truth and kindness grace their home,
his presence fill the humblest room,
his Spirit stir their prayers;
his Spirit stir their prayers.
4 With brightened eyes of faith we'll see
God's plan for them made plain:
so shall our hearts together be
uplifted in the Trinity
and echo the amen;
and echo the amen.
