Jesus, Come! For We Invite You
Author: Christopher Idle, b. 1938 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, come! for we invite you,
guest and master, friend and Lord;
now, as once at Cana's wedding,
speak and let us hear your word:
lead us through our need or doubting,
hope be born and joy restored.
2 Jesus, come! transform our pleasures,
guide us into paths unknown;
bring your gifts, command your servants,
let us trust in you alone:
though your hand may work in secret,
all shall see what you have done.
3 Jesus, come! in new creation,
heav'n brought near by pow'r divine;
give your unexpected glory,
changing water into wine:
rouse the faith of your disciples --
come, our first and greatest Sign!
4 Jesus, come! surprise our dullness,
make us willing to receive
more than we can yet imagine,
all the best you have to give:
let us find your hidden riches,
taste your love, believe, and live! Topics: Marriage; Time After Epiphany; Epiphany, Time After Epiphany; Gathering; Holy Communion; Marriage Used With Tune: UNION SEMINARY

Draw Us in the Spirit's Tether
Author: Percy Dearmer (1867-1936) Hymnal: Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal #259 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.7 Lyrics: 1 Draw us in the Spirit’s tether,
For when humbly in Thy name,
Two or three are met together
Thou are in the midst of them;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Touch we now Thy garment’s hem.
2 As the brethren used to gather
In the name of Christ to sup,
Then with thanks to God the Father
Break the bread and bless the cup,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
So knit Thou our friendship up.
3 All our meals and all our living
Make as sacraments of Thee,
That by caring, helping, giving
We may true disciples be.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
We will serve Thee faithfully. Topics: Holy Spirit Tune Title: UNION SEMINARY
