Dear God, Compassionate and Kind
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 with repeat Appears in 542 hymnals Topics: Call and Vocation Lyrics: 1 Dear God, compassionate and kind,
forgive our foolish ways.
Re-clothe us in our rightful mind,
in purer lives thy service find,
in deeper reverence, praise,
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,
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,
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,
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,
O still, small voice of calm. Scripture: 1 Kings 19:1-18 Used With Tune: REPTON
Dear God, Compassionate and Kind
Christ Is Our Cornerstone
Author: John Chandler (1806-1876) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 191 hymnals Topics: Call and Vocation Lyrics: 1 Christ is our cornerstone
on him alone we build;
with his true saints alone
the courts of heaven are filled.
On his great love
our hopes we place
of present grace
and joys above.
2 O then, with hymns of praise
these hallowed courts shall ring.
Our voices we will raise
the Three-in-One to sing,
and thus proclaim
in joyful song,
both loud and long,
that glorious name.
3 Here, gracious God, do thou
for evermore draw nigh;
accept each faithful vow,
and mark each suppliant sigh.
In copious shower
on all who pray,
each holy day
thy blessings pour.
4 Here may we gain from heaven
the grace which we implore;
and may that grace, once given,
be with us evermore,
until that day
when all the blest
to endless rest
are called away. Scripture: Psalm 86 Used With Tune: HAREWOOD Text Sources: Latin (7th cent.)

Author: Daniel March, 1816-1909 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 523 hymnals Topics: Calling and Vocation Lyrics: 1 Hark! The voice of Jesus calling,
"Who will go and work today?
Fields are ripe and harvests waiting;
who will bear the sheaves away?"
Earnestly the Master calls us;
rich reward he offers free;
who will answer, gladly saying,
"Here am I, O Lord, send me"?
2 If you cannot cross the ocean
and the distant lands explore,
you can find the needy nearer.
you can help them at your door.
If you cannot give your thousands,
you can serve with willing might,
and whate'er you do for Jesus
will be precious in his sight.
3 Let none hear you idly saying,
"There is nothing I can do,"
while so many souls are dying,
and the Master calls for you.
Take the task he gives you gladly;
let his work your pleasure be;
answer quickly when he calls you,
"Here am I, O Lord, send me." Scripture: Matthew 4:18-22 Used With Tune: ELLESDIE

"Heal the sick and preach the word."

and the gospel go unheard,
help us witness to your purpose
with renewed integrity;

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:

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;

for the work of ministry. Scripture: Deuteronomy 10:12-22 Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH
