When We Seek Language
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Hymnal: SVU2007 #49 (2007) Meter: 10.10.10.10 with refrain First Line: When we seek language to praise you, O God Refrain First Line: Infinite intimate unbounded friend Lyrics: 1 When we seek language to praise you, O God,
all we can utter seems stale, tame, or odd.
Tongue-tied and word-lost, we struggle to find
phrases that slight neither heart, soul, nor mind:
Refrain:
Infinite intimate unbounded friend,
cosmic companion who loves without end,
nearer than heartbeat, more subtle than breath,
keener than insight, and stronger than death.
2 Steadfastly loving, you gave us your Word,
living among us on earth, seen and heard,
teacher and healer whose promise came true,
dying and rising to make all things new: [Refrain]
3 To be our guardian, supporter, and guide,
you sent your Spirit to stay by our side,
source of community, wellspring of prayer,
power to strengthen, and courage to dare: [Refrain] Topics: Praise; Christian Year Christmas; Christian Year Easter; Christian Year Pentecost; Christian Year Trinity Sunday; God Images; Inspiration; Love of God/Christ; Praise; Redemption; Remembrance Day; Service Music Sanctus; Thanksgiving; Trinity Scripture: John 1:14 Languages: English Tune Title: PERICHORESIS

When We Are Tested
Author: Ruth Duck Hymnal: SVU2007 #65 (2007) Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: When we are tested and wrestle alone Lyrics: 1 When we are tested and wrestle alone,
famished for bread when the world offers stone,
nourish us, God, by your word and your way,
food that sustains us by night and by day.
2 When in the desert we cry for relief,
pleading for paths marked by certain belief,
lift us to love you beyond sign and test,
trusting your presence, our only true rest.
3 When we are tempted to barter our souls,
trading the truth for the pow'r to control,
teach us to worship and praise only you,
seeking your will in the work that we do.
4 When we have struggled and searched through the night,
sorting and sifting the wrong from the right,
Saviour, surround us with circles of care,
angels of healing, of hope, and of prayer.

1 I have called you by your name, you are mine;
I have gifted you and ask you now to shine.
I will not abandon you;
all my promises are true.
You are gifted, called, and chosen; you are mine.
2 I will help you learn my name as you go;
read it written in my people, help them grow.
Pour the water in my name,
speak the word your soul can claim,
offer Jesus' body given long ago.
3 I know you will need my touch as you go;
feel it pulsing in creation's ebb and flow.
Like the woman reaching out,
choosing faith in spite of doubt,
hold the hem of Jesus' robe, then let it go.
4 I have given you a name, it is mine;
I have given you my Spirit as a sign.
With my wonder in your soul,
make my wounded children whole;
go and tell my precious people they are mine.

touche et laisse aller Jésus sur son chemin.

Maintenant, par mon Espirt,

Par mon nom l'âme animée,
guéris mes enfants blessés.
Va, disleur qu'ils me sont précieux,
qu'ils sont miens.
