For the Fruit of All Creation

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.4.8.4.8.8.8.4 Appears in 74 hymnals Topics: Christian Education Lyrics: 1 For the fruit of all creation, thanks be to God. For the gifts to every nation, thanks be to God.

In the help we give our neighbor, God's will is done. In our worldwide task of caring for the hungry and despairing, in the harvests we are sharing, God's will is done. 3 For the harvests of the Spirit, thanks be to God. For the good we all inherit, thanks be to God. For the wonders that astound us, for the truths that still confound us, most of all that love has found us, thanks be to God.

The Lord Our God Alone Is Strong

Author: Caleb T. Winchester, 1847-1920 Appears in 45 hymnals Topics: Education General Lyrics: 1 The Lord our God alone is strong; His hands build not for one brief day; His wondrous works, thro' ages long, His wisdom and His power display. 2 His mountains lift their solemn forms, To watch in silence o’er the land; The rolling ocean, rocked with storms, Sleeps in the hollow of His hand. 3 Thou sov'reign God, receive this gift Thy willing servants offer Thee; Accept the prayers that thousands lift, And let these halls Thy temple be. 4 And let those learn, who here shall meet, True wisdom is with reverence crowned, And science walks with humble feet To seek the God that faith hath found. Amen. Used With Tune: TRURO

Lest the church neglect its mission and the gospel go unheard, help us witness to your purpose with renewed integrity: With the Spirit's gifts empower us for the work of ministry. 2 Lord, you call us to your service: "In my name baptize and teach." That the world may trust your promise, life abundant meant for each, give us all new fervor, draw us closer in community: With the Spirit's gifts empower us for the work of ministry. 3 Lord, you make the common holy: "This my body, this my blood." Let us all, for earth's true glory, daily lift life heavenward, asking that the world around us share your children's liberty: With the Spirit's gifts empower us for the work of ministry. 4 Lord, you show us love's true measure: "Father, what they do, forgive." Yet we hoard as private treasure all that you so freely give. May your care and mercy lead us to a just society: With the Spirit's gifts empower us for the work of ministry. 5 Lord, you bless with words assuring: "I am with you to the end." Faith and hope and love restoring, may we serve as you intend, and, amid the cares that claim us, hold in mind eternity: With the Spirit's gifts empower us for the work of ministry.

Make their ears attent to thy divinest speech, their hearts awake to human need; their lips make eloquent to gird the right and ev'ry evil break. 3 Anoint them priests! Strong intercessors, Lord! Anoint them with the Spirit of thy Son; theirs not a jeweled crown, a blood-stained sword; theirs, by sweet love, for Christ a kingdom won. 4 Make them apostles! Heralds of thy cross. Forth may they go to tell all realms thy grace; inspired of thee, may they count all but loss, and stand at last with joy before thy face. Scripture: 2 Kings 2:13 Used With Tune: TOULON

Leeson, 1807-82; Jonathan Whittemore, 1802-60 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 152 hymnals Topics: Christian Education Lyrics: 1 Gracious Savior, gentle Shepherd, Children all are dear to you; May your loving arms enfold them In your care their whole life through; Fondly tend and safely keep them In your mercy strong and true. 2 Tender Shepherd, never leave them, Never let them go astray; By your warning love directed, May they walk the narrow way! Thus direct them, thus defend them Lest they fall an easy prey. 3 Cleanse their hearts from sinful folly In the stream your love supplied, Mingled stream of blood and water Flowing from your wounded side; And to heav'nly pastures lead them, Where your own sill waters glide. 4 By your holy Word instruct them; Fill their minds with heav'nly light; By your pow'rful grace constrain them Always to approve what's right; Let them know your yoke is easy, Let them prove your burden light. 5 Taught to lisp your holy praises, Which on earth your children sing, With their lips and hearts, sincerely, Glad thank off'rings may they bring, Then with all the saints in glory Join to praise their Lord and King. Used With Tune: SIEH, HIER BIN ICH
