God, We Praise You

Author: C. M. Idle, b. 1938 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 30 hymnals First Line: God, we praise You! God, we bless You Lyrics: 1 God, we praise You! God, we bless You! God, we name You sovereign Lord! Mighty King whom angels worship, Father, by Your church adored: All creation shows Your glory, Heav'n and earth draw near Your throne, Singing "Holy, holy, holy, Lord of hosts, and God alone!" 2 True apostles, faithful prophets, Saints who set their world ablaze, Martyrs, once unknown, unheeded, Join one growing song of praise, while Your church on earth confesses One majestic Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, God, our hope eternally. 3 Jesus Christ, the king of glory, Everlasting Son of God; Humble was Your Virgin Mother, Hard the lonely path You trod: By Your cross is sin defeated, Hell confronted face to face, Heaven opened to believers, Sinners justified by grace. 4 Christ, at God's right hand victorious, You will judge the world You made; Lord, in mercy help Your servants For whose freedom You have paid: Raise us up from dust to glory, Guard us from all sin today. King enthroned above all praises, Save Your people, God, we pray. Topics: Te Deum Used With Tune: NETTLETON

Praise the One Who Breaks the Darkness

Author: Rusty Edwards Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise the One who breaks the darkness With a liberating light. Praise the One who frees the pris'ners, Turning blindness into sight. Praise the One who preached the Gospel, Healing every dread disease, Calming storms and feeding thousands With the very bread of peace. 2 Praise the One who blessed the children With a strong yet gentle word. Praise the One who drove out demons With the piercing two-edged sword. Praise the One who brings cool water To the desert's burning sand. From this well comes living water, Quenching thirst in every land. 3 Praise the one true love incarnate: Christ, who suffered in our place. Jesus died and rose for many That we may know God by grace. Let us sing for joy and gladness, Seeing what our God has done. Praise the one redeeming glory, Praise the One who makes us one.

As We Gather at Your Table

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As we gather at your table, As we listen to your word, Help us know, O God, your presence; Let our hearts and minds be stirred. Nourish us with sacred story Till we claim it as our own; Teach us through this holy banquet How to make Love’s vict'ry known. 2 Turn our worship into witness In the sacrament of life; Send us forth to love and serve you, Bringing peace where there is strife. Give us, Christ, your great compassion To forgive as you forgave; May we still behold your image In the world you died to save. 3 Grant us vision, gracious Spirit, To seek guests to share that feast Where triumphant love will welcome Those who had been last and least. There no more will envy blind us Nor will pride our peace destroy, As we join with saints and angels To repeat the sounding joy.

He is able, He is able, He is willing: doubt no more. 2 Come, ye thirsty, come and welcome, God’s free bounty glorify; True belief, and true repentance, Every grace that brings us nigh.

This He gives you; This He gives you; 'Tis His Spirit's rising beam. This He gives you; This He gives you; 'Tis His Spirit's rising beam. 4 Agonizing in the garden, Lo! your Maker prostrate lies; On the blood-stained tree behold Him; Hear Him cry, before He dies. "It is finished! It is finished!" Sinner, will this not suffice? "It is finished! It is finished!" Sinner, will this not suffice? 5 Lo! the incarnate God, ascended, Pleads the merit of His blood: Venture to Him, venture wholly, Let no other trust intrude; None but Jesus, None but Jesus Can do helpless sinners good. None but Jesus, None but Jesus Can do helpless sinners good. Amen. Topics: Repentance Used With Tune: NETTLETON

Now direct our daily labor, lest we strive for self alone; born with talents, make us servants fit to answer at Your throne. 3 Treasure too you have entrusted, gain through powers your grace conferred; ours to use for home and kindred, and to spread the gospel Word. Open wide our hands, in sharing, as we heed Christ's ageless call, healing, teaching, and reclaiming, serving you by loving all.

Music is your art, your glory; let the human heart rejoice! 2 Psalms and symphonies exalt you, drum and trumpet, string and reed. Simple melodies acclaim you, tunes that rise from deepest need, hymns of longing and belonging, carols from a cheerful throat, lilt of lullaby and love song catching heaven in a note. 3 All the voices of the ages in transcendent chorus meet, worship lifting up the senses, hands that praise and dancing feet; over discord and division music speaks your joy and peace, harmony of earth and heaven, song of God that cannot cease!

Called to Gather As God's People

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Called to gather as God's people, We assemble in this place To unite our hearts and voices In thanksgiving for God's grace: For the birthing of creation, For Christ's rising from death's hold, For the coming of the Spirit, Week by week claimed and retold. 2 Taught and formed by proclamation, We await God's promised word: Song and story, psalm and precept, All the range of scripture heard. By this ancient, living witness We are summoned to confess How we fall short, yet can trust that God will hear, forgive, and bless. 3 Fed at Christ's abundant table, We partake of holy food, Wake the gifts of hope and mem'ry, Taste and see that God is good. So our mingled lives are taken, Blessed and broken for Christ's sake, Given out to feed and comfort Bodies, minds, and hearts that ache. 4 Sent to share the Spirit's blessing, We go forth renewed, restored, Humbled by the task before us, Strengthened by the Love outpoured. Finding faith confirmed in action, Led by hope through each new day, We are called to be God's people, Living what we sing and pray.

God of Love, We Sing Your Glory

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: God of love, we sing youir glory and we offer you our praise Lyrics: God of love, we sing your glory and we offer you our praise, As we celebrate the story of our church’s founding days. ‘Mid the farms and homes around here, faithful Christians heard your call: ”This is truly mission ground here; be my light that shines to all.” From the start, we were a mission, sent to share Christ’s love and grace. Through the years, we’ve kept that vision as we’ve served you in this place. As we’ve sought to be a blessing to the lonely, lost and poor, What we’ve found has been surprising: you have blessed us even more. When we gather here to worship, still your blessings overflow. Education, faith and friendship are your gifts through which we grow. Called to serve, we seek a balance: honor old ways, try what’s new! Spirit-filled, we share our talents and are blessed by serving you. God, we pray about the future, and we wonder what will be; Yet we know it’s an adventure joining hands in ministry. For in church, each generation builds by faith and not by sight— And each one, a new creation, finds new ways to spread your light.

Here, as in the world around us, all our varied skills and arts wait the coming of your Spirit into open minds and hearts. 2 Here are symbols to remind us of our lifelong need of grace; here are table, font, and pulpit; here the Word has central place. Here in honesty of preaching, here in silence as in speech, here in newness and renewal God the Spirit comes to each. 3 Here our children find a welcome in the Shepherd's flock and fold; here, as bread and wine are taken, Christ sustains us as of old. Here the servants of the Servant seek in worship to explore what it means in daily living to believe and to adore. 4 Lord of all, of church and kingdom, in an age of change and doubt, keep us faithful to the gospel; help us work your purpose out. Here, in this day's celebration, all we have to give, receive; we who cannot live without you, we adore you! We believe. *5 In this time of celebration we would offer special praise. As we think of past and future, vow anew to walk your ways.

Let your light so shine around you that God's name is glorified; and all find fresh hope and purpose in Christ Jesus crucified. 3 Once you were an alien people, strangers to God's heart of love; but he brought you home in mercy, citizens of heaven above. Let his love flow out to others, let them feel the Father's care; that they too may know his welcome and his countless blessings share. 4 Church of God, elect and holy, be the people he intends; strong in faith and swift to answer each command your Master sends: royal priests, fulfill your calling through your sacrifice and prayer; give your lives in joyful service– sing his praise, his love declare.
