Christians, We Have Met to Worship
Author: George Atkins Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 271 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christians, we have met to worship
and adore the living God;
will you pray with all your power,
while we try to preach the word?
All is vain unless the Spirit
of the Holy One comes down;
Christians, pray, and holy manna
will be showered all around.
2 Is there here a trembling jailer,
seeking grace and filled with fears?
Is there here a weeping Mary
pouring forth a flood of tears?
Tell them all about the Savior,
how in Christ the lost are found.
Pray, oh pray, and holy manna
will be scattered all around.
3 Let us love our God supremely,
let us love each other, too;
let us pray for all earth's people
till our God makes all things new.
Christ will call us home to heaven,
at the table we'll sit down;
Christ will welcome us and serve us
living manna all around. Topics: God's Church The Church at Worship: Gathering; Gathering; Love; Worship Used With Tune: HOLY MANNA

Jesus, What a Friend for Sinners
Hail, ye sighing sons of sorrow
Author: Anonymous Appears in 53 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Hail, ye sighing sons of sorrow,
View with me th’ autumnal gloom,
Learn from thence your fate tomorrow;
Dead perhaps, laid in the tomb.
See all nature fading, dying,
Silent, all things seem to mourn,
Life, from vegetation flying,
Brings to mind the mould’ring urn.
2. Oft when autumn’s tempest rising
Makes the lofty forest nod,
Scenes of nature how surprising:
Read in nature nature’s God.
See, the sov’reign, sole Creator
Lives eternal in the skies,
Whilst we mortals yield to nature,
Bloom awhile, then fade and die.
3. Lo! I hear the air resounding,
With expiring insects’ cries;
Ah! their moans to me how wounding,
Emblems of my age and sighs.
Hollow winds around me roaring,
Noisy waters round me rise,
Whilst I sit my fate deploring,
Tears fast streaming from my eyes.
4. What to me is autumn’s treasure,
Since I know no earthly joy?
Long I’ve lost all youthful pleasure,
Time must youth and health destroy.
Pleasures once I fondly courted,
Shared each bliss that health bestows,
But to see where then I sported
Now embitters all my woes.
5. Age and sorrow since have blasted
Ev’ry youthful, pleasing dream;
Quiv’ring age with youth contrasted,
O, how short their glories seem!
As the annual frosts are cropping
Leaves and tendrils from the trees,
So my friends are yearly dropping,
Through old age and dire disease.
6. Former friends, O, how I’ve sought them!
Just to cheer my drooping mind;
But they’re gone like leaves in autumn,
Driv’n before a dreary wind.
Spring and summer, fall and winter,
Each in swift succession roll,
So my friends in death do enter,
Bringing sadness to my soul.
7. Death has laid them down to slumber;
Solemn thought, to think that I
Soon must be one of that number!
Soon — ah, soon, with them to lie!
When a few more years are wasted,
When a few more scenes are o’er,
When a few more griefs are tasted,
I shall fall to rise no more.
8. Fast my sun of life declining,
Soon will set in endless night:
But my hope, pure and refining,
Rests in future life and light.
Cease this fearing, trembling, sighing,
Death will break the sudden gloom;
Soon my spirit, flutt’ring, flying,
Must be borne beyond the tomb. Used With Tune: HOLY MANNA Text Sources: Sung in Primitive Baptist churches
Hail, ye sighing sons of sorrow
천 런 하 고 빛 닌 하 늘 (God Who Stretched the Spangled Heavens)
Author: Catherine Cameron Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 47 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God, who stretched the spangled heavens,
infinite in time and place,
flung the suns in burning radiance
through the silent fields of space,
we your children, in your likeness,
share inventive powers with you.
Great Creator, still creating,
show us what we yet may do.
2 Proudly rise our modern cities,
stately buildings, row on row;
yet their windows, blank, unfeeling,
stare on canyoned streets below,
where the lonely drift unnoticed
in the city's ebb and flow,
lost to purpose and to meaning,
scarcely caring where they go.
3 We have ventured worlds undreamed of
since the childhood of our race;
known the ecstasy of winging
through untraveled realms of space;
probed the secrets of the atom,
yielding unimagined power,
facing us with life’s destruction
oOr our most triumphant hour.
4 As each far horizon beckons,
may it challenge us anew,
children of creative purpose,
serving others, honoring you.
May our dreams prove rich with promise,
each endeavor well begun.
Great Creator, give us guidance
till our goals and yours are one. Topics: 인 도; 하 나 님; Adoration and Praise; Creation; Discipleship and Service; Guidance; Nature; 경배와 찬양; 창조; 제자 훈련 와 봉사; 자연 Used With Tune: HOLY MANNA Text Sources: Korean trans. The United Methodist Korean Hymnal Commitee
