Lord God of Hosts, whose purpose, never swerving
Author: Rev. Shepherd Knapp Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 43 hymnals Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Discipleship and Service; Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 Lord God of Hosts, whose purpose, never swerving,
Leads toward the day of Jesus Christ Thy Son,
Grant us to march among Thy faithful legions,
Armed with Thy courage, till the world is won.
2 Strong Son of God, whose work was His that sent Thee,
One with the Father, thought and deed and word,
One make us all, true comrades in Thy service,
And make us one in Thee with God the Lord.
3 O Prince of Peace, Thou bringer of good tidings,
Teach us to speak Thy word of hope and cheer—
Rest for the soul, and strength for all man's striving,
Light for the path of life, and God brought near.
4 Lord God, whose grace has called us to Thy service,
How good Thy thoughts toward us, how great their sum!
We work with Thee, we go where Thou wilt lead us,
Until in all the earth Thy Kingdom come.
Amen. Used With Tune: WELWYN

We are living, we are dwelling
Author: Bishop Arthur Cleveland Coxe Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 201 hymnals Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Discipleship and Service; Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 We are living, we are dwelling
In a grand and awful time,
In an age on ages telling;
To be living is sublime.
Hark! the waking up of nations,
Hosts advancing to the fray;
Hark! what soundeth is creation's
Groaning for the latter day.
2 Will ye play, then? will ye dally
Far behind the battle line?
Up! it is Jehovah's rally;
God's own arm hath need of thine.
Worlds are charging, heaven beholding;
Thou hast but an hour to fight;
Now, the blazoned cross unfolding,
On, right onward for the right!
3 Sworn to yield, to waver, never;
Consecrated, born again;
Sworn to be Christ's soldiers ever,
O for Christ at least be men!
O let all the soul within you
For the truth's sake go abroad!
Strike! let every nerve and sinew
Tell on ages, tell for God.
Amen. Used With Tune: BLAENHAFREN

Lord, You Give the Great Commission
Author: Jeffery W. Rowthorn Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 43 hymnals Topics: Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 Lord, you give the great commission:
"Heal the sick and preach the word."
Lest the church neglect its mission
and the gospel go unheard,
help us witness to your purpose
with renewed integrity:
with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
for the work of ministry.
2 Lord, you call us to your service:
"In my name baptize and teach."
That the world may trust your promise,
life abundant meant for each,
give us all new fervour, draw us
closer in community:
with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
for the work of ministry.
3 Lord, you make the common holy:
"This my body, this my blood."
Let us all, for earth's true glory,
daily lift life heavenward,
asking that the world around us
share your children's liberty:
with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
for the work of ministry.
4 Lord, you show us love's true measure:
"Father, what they do, forgive."
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 empow'r 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:
with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
for the work of ministry. Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH

in this their concord find:
may Jesus Christ be praised!
Let all the earth around
ring joyous with the sound:

my canticle divine:
may Jesus Christ be praised!

through all the ages long:

When Morning Gilds the Skies (Quand le soleil se lève)
The Voice of God is Calling
Author: John Haynes Holmes Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 65 hymnals Topics: Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1. The voice of God is calling
its summons in our day;
Isaiah heard in Zion,
and we now hear God say:
"Whom shall I send to succor
my people in their need?
Whom shall I send to loosen
the bonds of shame and greed?
2. "I hear my people crying
in slum and mine and mill;
no field or mart is silent,
no city street is still.
I see my people falling
in darkness and despair.
Whom shall I send to shatter
the fetters which they bear?"
3. We heed, O Lord, your summons,
and answer: Here are we!
Send us upon your errand,
let us your servants be.
Our strength is dust and ashes,
our years a passing hour;
but you can use our weakness
to magnify your power.
4. From ease and plenty save us;
from pride of place absolve;
purge us of low desire;
lift us to high resolve;
take us, and make us holy;
teach us your will and way.
Speak, and behold! we answer;
command, and we obey!

Come, Labor On
Author: Jane Laurie Borthwick Meter: 4.10.10.10.4 Appears in 71 hymnals Topics: Life in Christ Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 Come, labor on.
Who dares stand idle on the harvest plain
While all around him waves the golden grain?
And to each servant does the Master say,
"Go work today."
2 Come, labor on.
Claim the high calling angels cannot share—
To young and old the gospel gladness bear;
Redeem the time; its hours too swiftly fly.
The night draws nigh.
3 Come, labor on.
Away with gloomy doubts and faithless fear!
No arm so weak but may do service here:
By feeblest agents may our God fulfill
His righteous will.
4 Come, labor on.
No time for rest, till glows the western sky,
Till the long shadows o'er our pathway lie,
And a glad sound comes with the setting sun,
"Well done, well done!"
Amen. Scripture: John 4:34-35 Used With Tune: ORA LABORA
Come, Labor On
