O Grant Us, God, a Little Space

Author: John Ellerton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 125 hymnals Topics: Arts and Music Lyrics: 1 O grant us, God, a little space from daily tasks set free. We meet within this holy place and find security. 2 Around us rolls the ceaseless tide of business, toil, and care, And scarcely can we turn aside for one brief hour of prayer. 3 Yet this is not the only place your presence may be found; On daily work you shed your grace, and blessings all around. 4 Yours are the workplace, home, and mart, the wealth of sea and land; The worlds of science and of art are fashioned by your hand. 5 Work shall be prayer, if all be wrought as you would have it done; And prayer, by you inspired and taught, shall then with work be one. Used With Tune: WINCESTER OLD

Now Let Us All, in Hymns of Praise

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Arts and Music Lyrics: 1 Now let us all, in hymns of praise, bear witness with one voice To God’s redeeming work in Christ, and bid the world rejoice. Today we call to mind the things that time cannot erode: what God, Creator of the world, is doing for our good. 2 What changes, challenges, and tests the church of Christ survives! How rich the records left to us of dedicated lives! Still must the church proclaim to all, that now, and evermore, the house of God is open house, and Christ the Open Door. 3 Of all our labors who can say what harvest there shall be, when time, that limits and distorts, becomes eternity? Then shall our hymns, rehearsed below, be perfect praise above, as, face to face, we fully know what this means: God is love! Used With Tune: OPEN DOOR
