O Word of God incarnate
O Star of Truth
Author: Minot Judson Savage, 1841-1918 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 23 hymnals First Line: O star of truth, downshining Lyrics: 1 O star of truth, down-shining,
through clouds of doubt and fear,
I ask beneath thy guidance
my pathway may appear:
however long the journey,
however hard it be,
though I be lone and weary,
lead on, I follow thee.
2 I know thy blessed radiance
can never lead astray,
though ancient creed and custom
may point another way;
or through the untrod desert,
or over trackless sea,
though I be lone and weary,
lead on, I follow thee.

O Star of Truth
Redeemed, Restored, Forgiven
Author: Henry W. Baker, 1821-77 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Redeemed, restored, forgiven
Through Jesus' precious blood,
Heirs of His home in heaven
Oh, praise our pard'ning God!
Praise Him in tuneful measures
Who gave His Son to die;
Praise Him whose sev'nfold treasures
Enrich and sanctify.
2 Once on the dreary mountain
We wandered far and wide,
Far from the cleansing fountain,
Far from the pierced side.
But Jesus sought and found us;
Our many sins He bore.
With cords of love He bound us
To Him forevermore.
3 Dear Master, Yours the glory
Of each recovered soul.
Ah, who can tell the story
Of love that made us whole?
Not ours, not ours the merit;
To You alone the praise!
Give us a thankful spirit
To serve You all our days.
4 Now keep us, holy Savior,
In Your true love and fear,
And grant us by Your favor
The grace to persevere
Till, in Your new creation,
Our earthly troubles o'er,
Heirs of Your free salvation,
We praise You evermore. Used With Tune: KUORTANE (NYLAND)

Help Us Accept Each Other
Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Help us accept each other as Christ accepted us;
teach us as sister, brother each person to embrace.
Be present, Lord, among us and bring us to believe
We are ourselves accepted, and meant to love and live.
2 Teach us, O Lord, your lessons, as in our daily life
we struggle to be human and search for hope and faith.
Teach us to care for people, for all, not just for some,
to love them as we find them, or as they may become.
3 Let your acceptance change us, so that we may be moved
in living situations to do the truth in love,
to practice your acceptance until we know by heart
the table of forgiveness, and laughter's healing art.
4 Lord, for today's encounters with all who are in need,
who hunger for acceptance, for righteousness and bread,
we need new eyes for seeing, new hands for holding on;
renew us with your Spirit, Lord, free us, make us one! Topics: Family and Relationships; Home; Hope; Race Relations; Reconciliation to Each Other; Social Justice; Unity and Fellowship; Unity of the Church Scripture: John 15:12 Used With Tune: NYLAND

We come as guests invited
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, 1926- Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We come as guests invited
when Jesus bids us dine,
his friends on earth united
to share the bread and wine;
the bread of life is broken,
the wine is freely poured
for us, in solemn token
of Christ our dying Lord.
2 We eat and drink, receiving
from Christ the grace we need,
and in our hearts believing
on him by faith we feed;
with wonder and thanksgiving
for love that knows no end,
we find in Jesus living
our ever-present friend.
3 One bread is ours for sharing,
one single fruitful vine,
our fellowship declaring
renewed in bread and wine
renewed, sustained and given
by token, sign and word,
the pledge and seal of heaven,
the love of Christ our Lord. Topics: Jesus Christ Love of; Jesus Christ Friend; Jesus Christ Bread of Life; Renewal / Revival; Sacraments and Ordinances Communion Scripture: Matthew 26:26-29 Used With Tune: NYLAND

O Father, All Creating
Facing a Task Unfinished
Author: Frank Houghton Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Facing a task unfinished
that drives us to our knees,
a need that, undiminished,
rebukes our slothful ease,
we who rejoice to know you
renew before your throne
the solemn pledge we owe you
to go and make you known.
2 Where other lords beside you
hold their unhindered sway,
where forces that defied you
defy you still today,
with none to heed their crying
for life and love and light,
unnumbered souls are dying
and pass into the night.
3 We bear the torch that flaming
fell from the hands of those
who gave their lives proclaiming
that Jesus died and rose;
ours is the same commission,
the same glad message ours;
fired by the same ambition,
to you we yield our pow'rs.
4 O Father, who sustained them,
O Spirit, who inspired,
Savior, whose love constrained them
to toil with zeal untired,
from cowardice defend us,
from lethargy awake!
Forth on your errands send us
to labor for your sake. Topics: Spread of the Gospel; Christian warfare; Commitment; Deliverance; Martyrs; Sin; Spread of the Gospel Scripture: Matthew 10 Used With Tune: NYLAND

To God Who Gave the Scriptures
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 To God who gave the scriptures
we bring our thanks today
for light upon life's journey,
a lamp to lead the way;
a sword to face the tempter,
a seed of life divine,
a glimpse of heaven's glory
upon our souls to shine.
2 To God who gave the scriptures
we sing salvation songs,
for laws of truth and judgment
to right our human wrongs;
a word to stand forever,
which faith and light impart,
a fire of love unchanging
to burn within our hearts.
3 To God who gave the scriptures
we come with love and praise
for all the gospel stories
of Galilean days,
the words of grace and mercy,
the cross and all its pains
as now in risen splendor
the King of glory reigns.
4 To God who gave the scriptures
we turn in faith to find
a taste of honeyed sweetness
to nourish heart and mind;
the promise of salvation,
the covenant restored,
the apostolic witness
that Jesus is the Lord.
5 To God who gave the scriptures
we lift our souls in prayer,
for eyes the Spirit opens
to find the treasures there;
that as we read and ponder
one voice alone is heard,
the Christ of all the scriptures,
the true and living Word.
