Eternal God, Whose Power Upholds
Author: H. H. Tweedy Hymnal: RITL1985 #481 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Eternal God, whose power upholds
both flower and flaming star,
to whom there is no here nor there,
no time, no near nor far,
no alien race, no foreign shore,
no child unsought, unknown,
O send us forth, thy prophets true,
to make all lands Thine own!
2 O God of love, whose Spirit wakes
in ev'ry human breast,
whom love, and love alone, can know,
in whom all hearts find rest:
help us to spread thy gracious reign
till greed and hate shall cease,
and kindness dwell in human hearts,
and all the earth find peace!
3 O God of truth, whom science seeks
and rev'rent souls adore,
who lightest ev'ry earnest mind
of every clime and shore;
dispel the gloom of error’s night,
of ignorance and fear,
until true wisdom from above
shall make life’s pathway clear!
4 O God of beauty, oft revealed
in dreams of human art,
in speech that flows to melody,
in holiness of heart:
teach us to shun all ugliness
that binds our eyes to thee,
till all shall know the loveliness
of lives made fair and free!
5 O God of righteousness and grace,
seen in the Christ, thy Son,
whose life and death reveal thy face,
by whom thy will was done:
inspire thy heralds of good news
to live Thy life divine,
till Christ has formed in all mankind
and every land is thine.

Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life
Author: Frank Mason North Hymnal: RITL1985 #482 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life,
where sound the cries of race and clan,
above the noise of selfish strife,
we hear thy voice, O Son of Man.
2 In haunts of wretchedness and need,
on shadowed thresholds dark with fears,
from paths where hide the lures of greed,
we catch the vision of thy tears.
3 The cup of water given for thee
still holds the freshness of thy grace;
yet long these multitudes to see
the sweet compassion of thy face.
4 O Master, from the mountain side,
make haste to heal these hearts of pain;
among these restless throngs abide,
O tread the city's streets again;
5 till all thy people know thy love,
and follow where thy feet have trod;
till glorious from thy heaven above
shall come the city of our God.

Lord Jesus, If I Love and Serve My Neighbor
Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: RITL1985 #487 (1985) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, if I love and serve my neighbor
out of my knowledge, leisure, pow'r, or wealth,
open my eyes to understand his anger
if from his helplessness he hates my help.
2 When I have met my sister's need with kindness
and prayed that she could waken from despair,
open my ears if, crying now for justice,
she struggles for the changes that I fear.
3 Lord, tho' I cling to safety or possessions,
yet from the cross love's poverty prevails:
open my heart to life and liberation,
open my hands to bear the mark of nails.

Gladly to God's Holy Temple
Author: Erik Routley Hymnal: RITL1985 #500 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7.3.3.7 Lyrics: 1 Gladly to God's holy temple
we in faith have found our way,
in our Father's house to worship,
with our friends to sing and pray.
God is good! God is wise!
Comes his word to us today.
2 All along the pilgrims' pathway
mercy's monuments we trace,
love and judgement, joy and trial,
all have spoken of his grace.
God was there! God is here!
God's great deeds all time embrace.
3 As for me and my household
we will love and serve the Lord,
in his covenant delighting
who himself is our reward.
God is love! God is light!
Fainting faith is here restored!
4 "Go, baptize the waiting nations:
in God's name the peoples cheer;
I am with you now and always:
see, I bring my kingdom near!"
Jesus lives! Jesus leads!
Master, speak, your servants hear.
5 Glory to our kind Creator
glory to our living Lord!
Glory to the bounteous Spirit
flooding earth with gifts outpoured.
This is God! God be praised!
In all life be God adored! Topics: Doxologies (Other, last verses of); Jesus Christ Master; Pilgrimage and Conflict Scripture: Joshua 24:15 Languages: English Tune Title: MICHAEL
